Fantasy Football 247 Site Team Gameweek 19

Welcome to the Fantasy Football 247 Site Team Gameweek 19 article. After two poor weeks in a row we finally had some luck and posted a decent score of 76 to get us back on track and that leaves us at 64,823 overall. Well, we say luck, there’s nothing better than a successful FPL transfer decision and one that brings you 30 points is to be rejoiced! Last week we culled Kane and brought in Zlatan and captained him. Suffice to say the big man didn’t disappoint. And we won’t lie, we had a wry smile when Kane missed his penalty. Game-weeks hang on such fine margins at times. So Zlatan was obviously our bedrock but we saw decent returns elsewhere too, notably from Pedro who we had hung onto more in hope than anticipation as he had missed the previous week and posted poor scores of 1, 3 and 2 prior to that. Our patience was rewarded with a big 13 this week. Unfortunately the silly sausage then went and got himself suspended for this week which leaves us in a bit of a pickle. And said pickle only got bigger when Walker went and got himself suspended as well having posted a rather disappointing 1 pointer for us. His team-mate Erik did rather better with two assists and 10 points though. Other than Cech getting a straight 6 though the rest were fairly mundane other than our 3rd pickle… Our Itchy pick was described by one commentator this week as “simply a poor choice at the moment”, and we couldn’t agree more! Especially when he didn’t even start this week. He redeemed himself with a late goal though to give us a 5 for him and it could have been more as he was waiting to tap in the Sterling cross which Davies turned in for an own goal. Goal or not he’s still an issue which needs dealing with, to add to the others #gulp…

Transfer – Sold Pedro and Iheanacho and bought Phillips and Defoe
We will admit this one had us a bit stumped. Every which way we turned it was far from ideal. And the ideas and suggestions were thin on the ground, which in some ways was a relief, after the fighting seen recently as a result of there being so many in the past few weeks. In the end we decided to go with the tried and tested in terms of fairly consistent FPL point scorers in the shape of Phillips and Defoe. It’s not overly exciting or innovative but it probably keeps the wheels turning for a bit until better opportunities present themselves.

The obvious point here is that we haven’t really planned for Aguero’s return. In truth we are happy enough to run with Costa and Ibra as our main forwards for the time being and we will make a call on Kun in the next few weeks if anything happens to our big two or if Kun shows signs of life again.

The other obvious point is that our team does look a bit bedraggled this week, we are aware of it so don’t come pointing it out please! It happens sometimes when you encounter a few suspensions at once, but then sometimes the most aesthetic of teams don’t always bring home the bacon so let’s see what our ugly pigs can do for us this time out…

THE NEW TEAM IN FULL FOR Gameweek 19

Our Captain is Zlatan
He’s been in imperious form and faces a Middlesbrough team who are without a win in their last 8 away games. It was him or Costa and both are good shouts this week and we would happily have gone with either but we went with Zlatan. Let’s hope the Iceman cometh again…

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.

  1. Zaha, Siggy, or Rodrigez for Walcott?

  2. Foster or Mannone?

    • Hi Raz

      You buying?

      I would go Foster. I would say West Brom are more reliable on the whole.

      • Same, would have gone with Mannone purely to open up cash for mifield and defense. I took an 8 point hit, hehe. Had a good score last week, so don’t care. But red arrows for sure. laugh

        • What keeper did you go with. I want to Grant

        • Foster has the best fixtures. I want Grant but I don’t trust the transfer shit. I would be taking a hit for a keeper that doesn’t play, that’s suicidal. Plus, WBA do have the best fixtures.

        • Raz – who did you get in?

        • Foster (because no playing goalie), Stanislas (for non playing Wally) and Costa for a douchehead called Kane. 😉

  3. Pogba or Mikhi……..

  4. Okay, finally made a choice. THe one I wanted to do yesterday. Just wished that yesterday it would have freaking gone through. If that was the case, I could have taken a punt on Pedro. sad

  5. Sanchez or Costa for Cappo ??

    • Brooky

      Which way are you swaying?

      • Both ways smile
        After seeing the highlights of the West Brom game where he could have had a hattie,Sanchez.But then Palace will park the bus.
        Costa fresh against a ravaged Stoke defence….

        Guess im edging Costa……but think Sanchez has got a big score coming soon…

    • First I was like Sanchez, but now thinkking about it with GIroud back… I don’t like that big French fella, he messes up shit.

      • Okay, I’m on Sanchez now. Don’t ask me why. Because he has the last game, I think.

        • I like last game cappos ! Sanchez more explosive Costa more consistent !

    • Ibrah

      Needs two goals today to be the top scorer in Europe this year

      Zlatan expects

      • Lol, last minute I went from Ibra to Sanchez to Costa and because of your statement back to Ibra. 😉

        • I know the feeling Raz. It’s a total wreckhead.

      • Middlesborough do like to keep it tight though…..

        • True

          But zlatan is zlatan

          Ahh. Bottom line, be happy if you have the top few candidates.

          It’s a coin toss week

  6. Well it may work or it may not but it’s done now so no regrets here : it’s Payet out for Mkhitaryan!
    Here’s the team, good to go?
