Fantasy Football 247 Site Team Gameweek 21

FF247 FPL teamWelcome 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

Our Captain is Alexis Sanchez
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….

  1. The GW21 Site Team is LIVE!

    I capitalized that just to make it sound exciting. It isn’t, we didn’t make any moves and we capped the obvious. Anyway, carry on smile

    • Spoiler alert! I’ll just skip to the end then.

      What’s the issue with Peiters – have I missed something?

      • Nothing mate, just that we don’t think he’ll keep a cleanie really but obviously we hope he does.

        • Or even better, he keeps a clean sheet for an hour and then gets subbed off before Defoe’s hat-trick smile

      • He’s not a ‘playing concern’ anyway if that’s what you thought we meant.

        • Thanks Init. It’s just that I have him and I’m in a WC so would be a good time to ship him out if needed.

        • I wouldn’t fancy him for a clean sheet in any of their next 4 out of 5 in all honesty. If I was on a WC I’d go elsewhere.

  2. Oh the Site Team is live.

    Nothing to see here. And we don’t blame you. Well done guys it makes perfect sense. What could possibly go wrong? laugh

  3. Congratz to site team!!!
    Cannot wait for this weekend
    Bring it on!!

    • We’re not pulling up any trees yet Lab but we are moving in the right direction.

      • true innit..
        congratz to all FF247 team for the article
        i reallly reaped the benefit from it, plus all of our community comment

  4. I’m worrring a lot of matches could be cancelled by snow weather! http://www.express.co.uk/news/weather/752821/snow-uk-football-matches-fixtures-cancelled-cancel-forecast-weather-updates

    • Just saw that in our previous articles in comment section, all of UK residence said they still wearing tshirts at north. Seems ok for now
      But in case, for contingency, i will put my VC to the player that play at south.

      btw, that also made the FPL more interesting and fun. LOL

      • That was just Andy being somewhat satirical about the situation in Newcastle. There’s definitely been snow down south. We have had a small bit in the NW but are having terribly high winds right now.

      • We still got snow on South Coast. Soton and the cherries are playing away though this game week. Doing a 10k run on Sunday so shorts and t shirt for me.

    • I’m in newcastle.. we have snow and I have a t-shirt on… as well as a jumper, coat gloves and a wooly hat… only young geordies and maybe the stupid ones rock the t-shirt in sub zero temperatures!

  5. Team good to go or take a hit?

  6. Good to go? 1.3 and 0 ft
