Fantasy Football 247 Site Team Gameweek 16
Welcome to the Fantasy Football 247 Site Team Gameweek 16 article. Well, that didn’t go as planned. We had 8 guys earn 5 points or less this gameweek, that is usually not a recipe for success. However not everything was gloom and despair as among all the crappiness there was some FPL heroes that came to at least save us from total disaster. With the likes of Alexis, Kane, Firmino, Pedro, Walker and Cech one would not expect to be turning to a Swan and Hornet defender for the points. Amat and Holebas did what they could for us and rescued our dignity. Well them and The Prince of Darkness Diego Costa. Because with a bunch of misses everywhere on the team we did manage to captain our highest scorer. So thank you Prince Diego and our two defenders who we will call Am-A-Ho. What you say? Are you? Didn’t know, but we won’t judge. Anyway our score of 47 put us in the 2 million average in terms of GW score and even though the FF247 Community team would be ecstatic if they consistently scored that, we need to do better. We dropped to 48k in the overall for a loss of 14K. But nothing better than a quick turnaround after a tough week, so with that let us get onto our transfers for this new gameweek.
Transfer(s) – Sold Ilkay Gündogan and bought Gylfi Sigurdsson
Transfer Reasoning…
No real mystery here in the sale or the buy really. Gundogan has been firing blanks ever since we brought him in on top of the rotation risk he has come under in the last couple of weeks. Siggy has scored 5 or more points in five of his last six and his next five fixtures look like an opportunity to keep on keeping on. As many know December offers a lot of opportunities for managers to use all their cuss words. Because as we all know some rotation will kick in. We think/hope Siggy will play straight through, if for no other reason that Swansea are in a battle for their Premier life and he is their best/only decent player. So in Siggy we trust…
THE NEW TEAM IN FULL FOR Gameweek 16
Our Captain is… Harry Kane
It was mostly unanimous on this one, but Prince Diego did get a vote. Both have great fixtures so either could have been justified. Think in the end the venue tilted the scales a bit in favour of Kane. Plus a quick glance at the season shows us that Hull has taken in the most goals including an incredible 9 goals allowed between the Bournemouth and Sunderland games. So if those two teams can embarrass you, we are hoping Spurs can take out their frustrations on them also. Perhaps another beat down is in the cards, similar to when they hammered Swansea after the CFC loss. Hull you are up and Kane is ready to bring in a double digit haul.
If anyone is interested in following the site teams progress then you can do so here and we wish you all the best of luck this week with your own teams.

Great looking team!! Quick question on lineup here guys. I feel Nyom should start but I really don’t see who to put him in for!!
Looks set imo. Best wishes.
Cheers ATF.
Virgil is your only option Matt.
just leave as it is
Good morning folks. Tinkering with my team, trying to bring in Ibra and Payette but significantly short if funds. Not sold on Valencia… any suggestions? Cheers.
You could do Valencia to Ake but you aren’t going to be able to raise 2.1 mil so I’d say you have to sacrifice one of those two lads.
Cheers Matt. I’m not seeing how to do it unless I take a -8 hit, in which I’d be better off bringing in Valencia and Ibra.
Firmino to Payet as you already have Mane
And keep your 5th mid as is whoever he was
Possible?
Nishant, that’d be Redmond and, yes, it’d be possible (albeit with Redmond and a forward like Diamonde / Anichebe). Not very promising imo.
I wouldn’t mind playing 3-5-2 with Redmond while Diomande or Anichebe benched
Hey guys;
Foster, Pickford
Kosceilny, Luiz, McAuley, Smith, Amat
Hazard, Sanchez, Firmino, Barry, Allen
Costa, Iheanacho, Defoe
2.7 ITB, 1 FT
I’m looking at Defoe + Firmino -> Kane + Lallana (-4).. Thoughts? Suggestions?
What about kos to Cedric/Ake
And Defoe to Kane
How much u have Itb?
Not a fan of intra-club transfers except wen injured
Hey gents, consider this a repost!
Everyone is going with Kane for Capt. What about Alli or Playet?
Thinking of bring in alli and Carroll in for zaha and benteke for a -8
My team is
Forster
Walker Brunt Alonso
Mane Player Zaha Hazard Sight
Kane(c) Benteke
Bench: Jaku Amat PVA Anichebe
Player = payet
Sight= siggy
New Guy
I would keep Benteke over Carroll any day of the week!
Go to GW16 with -4pts, Koscielny & Gundogan to Reid & Antonio! Maybe right?!
Cech
Reid, Cedric, Walker
Antonio, Pedro, Firminho, De Bruyne
Kane (c), Costa, Iheanacho
Sub: Jakupovic, Allen, Holebas, Armat
Can you get siggy? On pens and everything goes thru him, Son is anoda one
I’m a bit superstitious and blive Antonio has scored a lot already
Reid has goals in him
Right starting XI?
Yes mate. Good to go. Solid Captain
Initially was on Costa but after reading the reasoning here decided to go with Kane 😉
Blame squarely pointed! 😉 Costa could be a good option too, I wouldn’t dismiss him but Kane at home to Hull with those stats behind each feels like the slightly better pick to me.
Hey Snookie Bear and inittowinit,
I’ll go to GW16 with -4pts, Koscielny & Gundogan to Reid & Antonio! Maybe right?!
Cech
Reid, Cedric, Walker
Antonio, Pedro, Firminho, De Bruyne
Kane (c), Costa, Iheanacho
Sub: Jakupovic, Allen, Holebas, Armat
Not convinced you need a -4 here wazza but it could work.
Thanks inittowinit. I’ll go on it.
