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.

Ah I see.
Yeah “once” or “if”
Play jakupovic and Pieters
Or Grant and Britos?
Don’t think I want to go double Stoke
Smash
Grant and Britos then I think.
Double Stoke doesn’t look appealing but you never know.
Thanks GP. It probably won’t matter either way as not great options but I’ll go with that
Morning all, had to replace Vert this week so brought in Coleman. Should I play him or Smith with Cahill and McCaulay???
Hello gramps
Play the new signing!
Coleman, Cahill, McAuley
Gallant, thanks – great shout.
Morning all, made my FT ( Chambers in for Holebas) I’m not feeling comfortable without Chelsea attack and considering a -4 to get Defoe – Costa… worth it ? I could also do Defoe to Kane ? 3.4 ITB
Rosco
I think that hit could pay off actually. I don’t want to force you into it but I’d second you if you so choosied. 😉
Costa seeing as you have Alli.
F@ck let’s do it!! It’s my fun team after all!!
The site team has made a late change and we’re now starting Nyom and not Holebas.
That’s not allowed.

Hi all. Played my wildcard this week. Struggling to finalise my squad though! Should I opt for the first or second squad? The first has Lallana and Costa in whereas the second has Pedro and Ibrahimovich instead of those aforementioned.
How about the first one with one of the Spurs boys becoming Mkhitaryan to also cover United?
Also, I would take a Boro defender rather than double Burnley.
Cheers GP
