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.

Fixture Tracker – the next 6 games
Hi guys,
Hoping to get some advice on my team
Foster
Ben Mee, Koscielny, Azipilucueta
Eriksen, Hazard, Mahrez, Allen
Kane, Costa, Origi
Bench: Jaku, Capoue, Amat, Smith
Just took a hit to get Mahrez and Origi in.
Hoping to make up some ground in the Christmas season…
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Hi isd, looks good for this week. Mee would be my only concern but not sure the 2 alternatives are better placed. Maybe play Smith as he likes an assist and at least they are at home. They’ve got 3 clean sheets at home so far. Conversely they’ve also conceded 9 in the other 4…
Hi all,
Have £0.7
What you think of:
Defoe –> Vardy & Eriksen –> Antonio??
Wouldnt be taking Eriksen out when Spurs have 2 plum upcoming fixtures.I’d start Defoe over Capoue and Mcauley over Amat and save your transfer.
Lol, I just subbed in Eriksen for Redmond purely because of those 2 homefixtures. HAHA! Crazy world.
Has there been any news as to whether ORIGI will play
Colonial,
no news that he is injured or won’t play so I would assume he plays given his form.
Thank you Cookie then I shall go with him.
Thanks for advice with team earlier.
Made trades and took a hit.
Happy with team.
Looks good.Muniesa over Amat for me though.
Indeed, I am unsure if I should play Holebas over certain defenders. *sighs*
He is a very good attack minded defender with free kicks and corners. Fuck it, I must play him, always.
Don’t forget how he did away at Liverpool, though!
Guys any advice for my team:
Grant
Cedric McCauley Alonso
Eriksen Hazard Firmino Sanchez
Costa Iheanacho Kane(c)
Subs:Pickford Fletcher Amat Kingsley.
Thamks guys.
I’d be tempted to dump Firminho for Siggy,if not may as well save your transfer.Looks good.
Cheers Brooky, I may just save it so. I know if I sell Firmino he’ll probably score big.
I think Siggy is an outstanding #4 MF during this period – ignore him at your peril
You sound a bit skeptical on Siggy. 😉
