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
Pls suggest asap! Have 2 free transfers and I m willing to do one more
Hi Madhur
I like Snodgrass to Matt Phillips and save a transfer. You’re set up quite well for this week.
Following this with two free transfers I would maybe improve either Capoue (for a 3-5-2) or Barnes (for a 3-4-3).
Good luck.
Hello people.. last minute question.. Havent done any transfers yet. But, what do you say on allen to Fraser for FT? decent fixtures ahead.
I would prefer Stanislas. But Fraser is doing well.
Dont have the money..Like to Like 5m
Am I all set and ready to go? Have I got the defence right? I saved my FT so have 2 next week with 2.1 in the bank!
Looking good. I bought and I am playing Costa.
Hey Raz! I was considering getting Costa back, only took him out last week for Giroud! Is he guaranteed to start? He has such a good fixture but I don’t want to be left with him on the bench!
You look all set, igy :ok:
Thanks GP, good luck this week mate!
Hey people, my team for the week. I was thinking of doing Kun to Costa for a 1 week punt? Crazy? Got 1ft. Or should I ride with Kun? No Pool or Chelski coverage.
I’d do it Raz..Can get him back next week anyways.
That is burning two FTs for just one week Costa benefit. If he plays…
(But I understand: Chelsea is strong, and Hull is… Hull!)
What if he scored two tonight and Kun blanks. Anyways this season seems to be favoring hit takers
I am also a (disappointed) Kun owner, without Chelsea coverage now that I have sold Costa.
So far, betting on Kun was a bad idea, but I think that we should hold to him until the next easy fixture (West Ham, Swasea, Bournemouth) coming after Totenham.
Plus, we are not absolutely sure that Costa will play, and Chelsea’s next two fixtures are against Pool and Arsenal.
So I wouldn’t sell Kun yet. Betting on him can still be proven a good strategy (but he sould hurry delivering!)
Hmmm, sold him mate. 😉
He should play. If Conte doesn’t start him, he has another problem. He will start and Chelsea will win big.
Let’s just hope SPurs can withstand Kun this time. :p
Strangely enough, my hopes for the Spur defense go in the other direction
Good move that Raz I think.
Best of luck.
Costa playing the last match, so it will be fun to watch. And who cares? It’s just a game.
Costa fixture looks promising and I’m playing him over Defoe. Yet, if I were the coach, I’d bench him as the others have done well in his absence and bring him in if needed. This would not only be the right disciplinary action and example but it’d also be strategic leading into next week’s, tougher match (where such head games could be advantageous).
Start Smith or Friend?
Smith is your friend?
Haha
Help mate
Hi all
Does anyone think Gabriel will start in the Arsenal defence today?
