Fantasy Football 247 Site Team Gameweek 25
Welcome to the Fantasy Football 247 Site Team Gameweek 25 article. Last week for most was defined by whether you owned Lukaku or not. We didn’t. Those that did saw a lovely score, those that captained him are probably still out celebrating. Or getting over the shock of a Rom cap actually paying off. Our score of 57 was above average but brought a red arrow, we lost 7k places and now sit in 39,047th place. For once our midfield let us down, no goals, no assists, nothing. Fortunately our defenders and strikers delivered – clean sheets for Walker and Nyom and an assist for Coleman were valuable additions to the goals of Zlatan and new recruit Carroll. The highlight was Defoe’s brace, the ‘fossil’ as one of our number refer to him, continues to reward our faith in the old boy.
Transfer for GW25 – No transfer
After a short discussion it was decided to hold our transfer, thus having 2 free transfers at our disposal for GW26, by which time we will know who blanks and who doesn’t in GW28. There were a couple of transfers suggested early on but they were quickly rebuffed as either being ‘duller than dull’ (Pickford to Jaku was suggested) or ‘pointless and ridiculous’ (Cech to Jaku was suggested!). We were simply beginning to think that someone had mistakenly put a tenner on Jaku as first goalscorer this week! We are relying on West Ham’s medical staff patching up Andy Carroll after Slaven Bilic said his striker has missed training all week after suffering a minor groin injury at Southampton last weekend. So very boring, but there you go – hopefully we will benefit from the extra transfer next week as we build up to GW28. That’s unless Andy is ruled out unexpectedly and definitely on Friday, at which point we may make a late call and will post in the comments if we do but we think it is highly unlikely.
THE NEW TEAM IN FULL FOR GW 25
Our Captain is Zlatan Ibrahimovic
This turned into a straight fight between Zlatan (home vs Watford) and Alexis (home to Hull), but not before the committee were flabbergated to here one of our number make probably the most outrageous Captain suggestion ever – Andy Carroll. After much hilarity, disbelief and rib-rubbing Zlatan come out the winner with poor old Andy not even making vice captain – that honour goes to Alexis if Zlatan goes AWOL at the weekend.
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.

***NEW ARTICLE***
Site Team for GW25 is announced.
Bit boring as we did nothing basically but in light of GW28 it may be the sensible move?
Not much to see here people . . . Move along
All the best guys. You’ve done the right thing and you’ll be glad you did next week when you have two transfers.
None of the committee considered Defoe for the armband?
they can shut down 1st team liverpool before this.
but worth a punt
Derek, he was mooted briefly by one member at the beginning of the conversation but in all honesty it never got much reaction from the others. He looks as good an option as any this week though in my view.
Thanks Cookie, last week I had Jesus as Captain and got influenced by the site team and switched to Alli, this time I’m going with my gut feeling and will try to improve that 2388 overall ranking!
Derek, don’t be influenced by us mate, especially on the back of a dodgy coin toss
Site team already have 5 players for GW28
Amazing..
btw, heard that maybe Liverpool vs Leicester match (GW26) will be postponed
Why would Liverpool v Leicester be postponed?
if they drew with Milwall at FA Cup round. and the replay will go on that week..
but of course they will crush Milwall unless Klopp play youngster
There are no FA Cup games on during GW26. City, Utd, Arsenal & Southampton have blanks due to the league cup final.
Liverpool & Leicester play on the Monday night and if Leicester have a cup replay I would expect it to be scheduled for the Wednesday night.
LaB
Your wires are crossed here. Leicester play away to Millwall in GW28 so the replay (if needed) could only be after that date.
In GW26 only the LEAGUE CUP FINAL affected matches in GW26 are off: Arsenal v SOUTHAMPTON and Manchester City v MANCHESTER UNITED.
GP, Leicester v Milwall is next weekend mate. The quarters are GW28.
:popcorn:
Of course that’s right. Stand corrected.
#overthinking
Not much to see here people . . . Move along ……
:hippo:
thanks guys for the info..at least u all have clear my mind now
Sorry LaBy, it appears you may be correct. I can’t see it happening though.

LaB was correct in the first place then yeah?!

FFS!
I’m off to bed!
Haha class banter between you guys
2 FTs for next week would be massive
:ok:
No Chelsea cover is interesting though
With Chelsea away to Burnley this weekend we didn’t feel that Chelsea cover was needed. We could yet be proven wrong
To add onto Kop’s comment, I think a few of us feel we would like Chelsea cover in there, but with the GW28 situation probably the biggest concern right now, we just felt 2fts next week would be sensible to have. Of course, we’d love Costa or Alonso etc, we’d also like Siggy but with a clearer view of what is to come we can make a better decision (in theory!) next week.
Plus…you can’t have them all!
It’s very sensible Cookie.
How dare you?!
It’s dull!!! 😉
I’m busy for next weeks meeting…..
We’ll let IT make the transfer decisions so!!!
Let Init flip a coin
Lord Heaton might just keep another CS with 3 BPs
Any hit needed guys?
1.4mn ITB
No FT
Also cappo is fine?
Ah. Transfer pic :smiling:
The cap is on Siggy ATM
Bench is- Jaku Amat Friend Marney for the week
I like that captain pick :ok:
Team seems fine.
Go with it for this week Nishant – capo is your choice, Siggy is in fine form and has the fixture so ticks the boxes.
your team is ready
Thank you gentlemen for your thoughts
Wasn’t sure on Siggy but he has got plenty of votes in the Captain poll
Almost equal to Sanchez
I wouldn’t be alone then
If I owned Siggy he’d be my capo!
Kop – currently on Sanchez but I’m really tempted to go with siggy!
I’ve contemplated selling Sanchez to bring Siggy in but I think I’ve decided against it
I’m seriousley considering Siggy as cappo !
