Fantasy Football 247 Site Team Gameweek 22
Welcome to the Fantasy Football 247 Site Team Gameweek 22 article. After 2 weeks of relying on Phillips and Defoe boosting us up the rankings we are pleased to report that the other 9 finally woke up too this week! Well ok, 7 of them did, but we’ll take it. We ended up on a fairly respectable 80 points which meant another small climb in the rankings and we now sit at 24,291. Cech and Holebas brought us clean sheets whilst Walker brought us that and more. Erik came home with his usual array of assists and all 3 of our forwards scored. Captain Sanchez was looking decidedly dodgy until a late goal suddenly transformed his score from a lacklustre 6 to a splendid 22. Fine margins. We should point out that we said last week that we were saving our transfer but then Costa happened late on Friday evening and we reacted by buying Giroud. That leaves us back on just 1 free transfer this week, let’s take a look at how we decided to use it this week…
Transfer for GW22 – 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…. Let’s roll with it and enjoy fighting over where our two free transfers are used next week”.
Yeah ok we wrote that last week too and then scrapped it when it emerged late on that Costa’s agent may or may not have taken a call from China which may or may not have resulted in a sudden back spasm. But it still stands and we sort of didn’t use it, so… Anyway it all resulted in Giroud coming in and we have resisted the temptation to simply reverse the decision. Had Giroud not been confirmed as entirely fit, or had a less favourable fixture, we probably would have done so but we have decided to roll with him for this round. It helps that he also has a better fixture next week with Watford at home as opposed to Costa going to Liverpool. The pair play each other the week after whereas Kane has ‘Boro at home and the 2 free transfers may help us when that comes around.
THE NEW TEAM IN FULL FOR GW 22
Our Captain is Alexis Sanchez
Given our disturbing lack of Chelsea coverage this week the next obvious stop was Arsenal. We can’t trust Giroud to finish a game whereas Sanchez is furious if he doesn’t so that hunger lead us to captain him this week. Zlatan is our vice if the worst was to happen.
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
Thinking of taking a hit as Evans’s price seems to be coming down! Suggestions please! Options below
A. Should I just play Holebas instead of Evans and avoid taking hits?
B. Free up some sum by getting a cheaper alternative? Yoshida or Collins at 4.2 or even Love at 4.0? Or others?
C. Upgrade Evans to someone else with 5.1 budget ?
Thanks !
Cosy,
I wouldn’t recommend taking hits on defenders as you are literally banking on that player to keep a cs or score/assist. Play holebas for this week as he could still pick you up some points.
Just worried about the drop in price as it will affect my plan on probably bringing in Lukaku for Giroud once Arsenal’s fixture gets more tricky
Hi all, I have 1 FT and 2.2 ITB. Definitely need a keeper in as mine are all dropped/injured. I defo need a hit this week as my bench is Pieters, Amat, de Roon
A. Who is THE keeper for the rest of the season? Heaton? Everton and WBrom looks good and I prefer the former, but Sketelenburg or Robles?
B. tale a -4, de Roon to Mirallas and play a 3-5-2? Wilson probably won’t start so I’ll need someone else there
C. take a -8, bringing in Randolph (West Ham might tighten up with Fonte joining them?), Coutinho and Diomande, playing a 3-5-2
Attached is my team. Thanks!
Any thoughts lads?
Neo
I would probably grab Heaton for Marshall and then play Pieters. A hit for a defender would rarely work out. de Roon to Mirallas sounds good owing to the fact that Wilson isn’t regular just now.
Morning guys
In your opinion in what order would your top 5 forwards be?
I’m really struggling to justify keeping kun but not brave enough to press the transfer button x
Ibra/Kane/Costa/LKK/Kun/Defoe/Giroud
I wouldn’t bring Kun in if I didn’t have him, but neither would I sell if I had him now – look at the delicious fixtures coming up!
On past form – IMO:
Kun Ibra Kane Costa giroud
On current form:
Costa Ibra Kane Kun giroud
Morning
Costa or not to Costa?
I wouldn’t just yet mate
I have done the Costa move
For giroud?
Yep
Man!! Whatever I do or don’t know is going to come back to haunt me!
Mitro
That’s not the attitude. Be positive. Hat-trick for Giroud!
Am I ready Chaps?
Play Smith?
1FT 3.6m
No chelsea or Everton attack…
You’re ready mate.
And you can’t have everyone. That’s a good side you have there.
anyone thinking of selling or buying aguero should have a look at his potebtial supply line.
Saloba
The fact that on paper it is good or the fact that in practice it is bad just now?
