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
How’s my team looking this week guys. Did Allen to Payet. Wanted to bring in a differential so i chose Payet with his nice fixtures coming up. Not sure to captain Kane or the reliable Costa?
Kane against Hull is mouthwatering to be fair.
Great team mate
Ready to fly high
Yes nishant. High flying Eagle
Evening fellas, play VVD or Nyom??
VVD for me due to his aerial threat and occasional bonus points and clean sheets.
Vvd
Cheers lads.
Great couple of articles guys especially given the turnaround. Looks like I’m finally going to be putting a Chelsea defender in my team in Alonso. Weeks too late but better late than never.
And I will be doing that too next week 😉
Since they’re the same price I think I’ll get Azpi instead he seems to get more bonus points
Hey guys
Do I need siggy?
If so who would you sacrifice
Firmino / Haz / Sanchez
Or
-4 hit
Capone > siggy
Defoe > Anichebe
I have Costa & Kane upfront already..
Firm to siggy. Thats what I did.
Scratch that
I did cout to siggy.
I did firm to Eriksen.
Non of those players are worth giving up for siggy, the second option is interesting but personally i’m not confident in Anichebe. If you want to take out Capoue Zaha looks a good option
Zahra looks great
Yes. Zaha looks great
Firminho.
Alright fellas, Mito’s fighting XI for this week.
Payet and Jones in for Firmino and Coleman.
Nice
S’up with lovren?
I made a deal with the devil, had to take Stones and Lovren as part of said deal.
Pile of shite 😉
I see you are using that mirror I gave you. 😉
Hahah
Looks good but needs Chelsea !!
I say that every GW also.
Worst part is, I use the site handle to laugh at people who don’t.
To be fair im not sure how you squeeze one in now apart from a defender.Could be an interesting tactic if you are chasing.
Just chasing my tail and I don’t have one.
If you chase your own tail and don’t have one Mito you’ll get lost up your own arse.
Wise old proverb that one.
Good side mate in all seriousness.
Last time asking!
Could use your thoughts gents.
Current set up:
Grant.
Alonso. Cedric. McAuley.
Eriksen. Hazard. Siggy. Sanchez.
Costa. Kane. Nacho.
Subs. Pickford. Phillips. Francis. Kingsley.
A. Play as its set up now
B. Sub Phillips on for Nacho
THANKS!!
A.. just
Cheers matt
+1
a. but if this were facebook, your status would say it is complicated
Ha!
Would any of you do Phillips on for siggy?
Given the plum fixture…
I wouldn’t
Why i prefer Fletcher as my 5th mid….. 😉
That’s a bit too tempting at times, I prefer a fifth mid with zero goals or assists. If Hojburger scores I will sell him on the spot.
Fletcher has had his goal and assist for the season now though…. 😉
