Fantasy Football 247 Site Team Gameweek 21
Welcome to the Fantasy Football 247 Site Team Gameweek 21 article. Last time we spoke to you we were celebrating Phillips and Defoe getting us 20 points in the past week – “It’s funny like that sometimes in FPL because we ended up having our hand forced a little to do two transfers we wouldn’t ordinarily have done had it not been for a combination of injuries, suspensions or obvious rotation. As it was it ended up being a thoroughly inspired bit of business! We sort of reluctantly brought in Phillips and Defoe with most of the transfer committee agreeing it was the right (and probably only) thing to do whilst at the same time shrugging and yawning at the prospect. Well bugger us, they only went and got another 20 points between them!” For those with a good memory that was our intro last week. It stands up so well this week also that we thought we’d just use it again! Just replace the 20 points with a 22 though, and we are good to go! Overall we scored 77pts which leaves us at 31,953 in the rankings – a decent weekly jump from 64,717! Other notable contributions were clean sheets for Nyom and Pieters, two assists for Eriksen, goals for Alexis and Ibra and a brace of penalties for Defoe. Let’s see if the recent successes have calmed the committee or simply stoked the fires of desire for more…
Transfer for GW21 – Sold & Bought – Nobody!
Now we know this doesn’t make for a very exciting article but sometimes that’s just the way it lands, deal with it! Actually a decision to do nothing is still a decision and has it’s merits just as much, and sometimes more, than a reckless but seemingly more exciting -8 or whatever. Some of our defence isn’t the best but yet it seems adequate enough this week, assuming they all play. It’s mainly just Pieters actually that is of concern, and maybe Holebas and his penchant for cards and his teams general penchant for conceding goals left, right and centre. A couple of our midfielders haven’t got the best fixtures ever on paper, but we like them long term, so there’s no point knee jerking on that only to wish we had them again next week. The rest looks ok. Let’s roll with it and enjoy fighting over where our two free transfers are used next week.
***UPDATE!!!!***
Scrap all that, we just bought Giroud for Costa!
Obviously with late Costa news emerging on Friday evening and having not used our transfer it was a fairly easy decision to draft in the delicious Frenchman given Arsenal’s next few fixtures. Welcome aboard Olivier!
THE NEW NEW TEAM IN FULL FOR GW 21

Arsenal have scored 44 goals this season (the 2nd highest in the league). Swansea have conceded 45 (the most in the league). Arsenal have scored 23 of those away from home (the most in the league). Swansea have conceded 23 of theirs at home (the most in the league). Now if only we had Giroud….

Fixture Tracker – the next 6 games
Will Aké be playing anymore now? Seems unlikely right? In that case I have a problem with my defence.
Anyways, this is my team for this weekend. Looks ok?
Do you have any funds available at all to help solve the defensive issues Al? If not I’d downgrade one of the Chelsea/Arsenal two to free up funds if needed to bring in a couple of upgrades as you might start to find yourself playing with ten men from time to time with the current lot, I’d leave it this week and maybe take the hit next week to bring in some sure fire starters.
I’d play Philips over Capoue as well, I don’t think Capoue’s even managed a single shot over the last 3 GW’s so I’d at the very least go with the guy who has set piece’s over the easier looking fixture on paper.
I have 0,8 itb
Starting 11 and captain good to go this week guys?
I have 0 FT and 1.6 ITB
Presume Ibra to Giroud isn’t worth it?
Thanks
It’s a great looking fixture but I wouldn’t be too keen on losing Ibra for Giroud, that team looks good to me.
Ake update…
Cech Jaku
Prodl Alonso Walker Ake Amat
Hazard Stanilas Forshaw Sanchez Fletcher
Ibra Costa Llorente
2FT and 0.3m itb
Is Hazard to Alli madness or a decent move?
Also – anyone else think Ake will just sit on the bench for the rest of the season?
I think on current form its a good move, you have chelsea cover with costa.
As for ake i think he’ll get some games but he needs to bed in first so i don’t expect him to start the next few.
Hello people..question..is bertrand a sure starter? If yes, what do you think of Alonso to him? Why didn’t he play last two games? Other option is Chambers.
Too much Puel rotation Constantine – I think he’s a good option mate.
