Fantasy Football 247 Site Team Gameweek 27
Welcome to the Fantasy Football 247 Site Team Gameweek 27. GW26 wasn’t one of our better weeks sadly, but every now and again we allow the Community Team their five minutes in the spotlight 😉 We scored just 48 points, three above the average but a red arrow followed as we slipped to 52,554. Our two transfers of Jakupovic and Mane contributed 6pts between them and it was only that high as we capo’d Mane. We only played with 10 as Andy Carroll didn’t play and neither did Matt Phillips or that idiot Amat from the bench. Yeah overall pretty depressing, I’m walking off the ledge just writing this. Thank the Lord, no not Pardew, for Seamus Coleman, Christian Eriksen, Dele Alli and Kyle Walker – they scored 37 of our points. As punishment we took the squad to La Managa for a training camp this week as we’ve seen how well teams respond to this :winktongue:
Transfer(s) for GW27 – We have sold Defoe and Alli and bought Aguero and Sterling:
Two popular moves which need little explanation. City’s DGW is clearly the draw here and if you can’t take a hit for a DGW then when can you?! Selling Alli is a shame but someone had to take one for the team and young Alli is our sacrifical lamb. Aguero is about as obvious a transfer as you can get with the form he is in, while Sterling was also unanimous with the likes of Sane, KdB or Silva not even mentioned. These two transfers don’t improve our number for the reduced week that is GW28 but we can address that to some extent next week.
Team in full –
Captain: We have voted to TRIPLE CAPTAIN AGUERO
It has been a strange season for Aguero – two red cards, an apparent fall out with Pep and the resurrection (forgive us) of Jesus all played a part in the striker losing his starting spot. Jesus was seen as the man who could perfectly carry out Pep’s preferred role as a “hard working striker” and he started great before picking up an injury at Bournemouth. So Aguero gets a reprieve and four goals in two matches suggests the Kun of old is back. Even Pep is impressed, this is what the manager said after City’s win over Huddersfield: “It’s the best performance I’ve ever seen from Sergio”. He scored two goals and created a lot of chances. When he plays at that level, he’s unstoppable. We are so happy with how he played today”. Praise indeed.
The vote to use our Triple Captain chip on Aguero this week was not unanimous, but was clear enough. Matches vs Sunderland and Stoke for an attacking team is about as good as it gets and with City having scored nine goals in their previous two matches, it would appear that the attacking prowess that was so evident earlier in the season has returned. Aguero has superb recent records vs both clubs – five goals in four matches vs Sunderland and five in three vs Stoke. The alternative of course is to wait for something better, which ultimately may not arrive. The big DGW will be in GW37 and we will use our Bench Boost that week. We could end up not being happy with the alternatives and ending up TC’ing someone in GW38! Or worse still lumping it on Andy Carroll – and we saw how that worked out for many last season!
Are we expecting 180mins from Aguero? No, of course not. Iheanacho came on for Aguero vs Huddersfield and scored so he will definitely take some game time away from Sergio but we are confident (hopeful) that Pep will continue to start Aguero in both league matches.
So balls out it is on Kun.

TC on Kun!
Looks great mate, should score very well. Hope you’re well.
Get well soon to Fernando Torres who spent the night in hospital after a sickening clash of heads last night. Looks like his team-mates saved what could of been a horrific disaster.

Hi guys, what should I do in this situation? I know all the cool kids are going Aguero and Sterling. I can’t afford that. I would need to take a hit maybe two to get him in. Is it worth it?
Thoughts please
McButch, I would certainly want some City cover mate – if you don’t want to hit for Kun then how about Alli to Sterling?
I would do Alli> Lanzini or Fraser or Antonio ( they all would sit on the bench this week) and costa>Aguero
Solid transfers, that money ITB definitely comes in handy.
Fellas, with chambers out, Phillips probably out and stan and Girouds place questionable would u take another hit. Maybe Giroud to llorente to guarentee a starting 11 or leave as is?
Milburn, let’s wait to see if Pulis gives any indication on Phillips mate. When you say ‘another hit’, how many have you taken already? Are we talking a Mitro amount of hits?!
hahaha no mate I just did Kane and Alli to Aguero and Sane as per your advice for a -4. I’ll wait for ATG though
Milbs, oh ‘eck don’t blame me hahaha….
Pulis is chatting in half hour so will post a Phillips update on here. I think I can probably predict it though….
“we’ll have a look at him after training today. The boy has been massive for us since coming in and we are desperate for him to play.” 😉
There’ll be no finger pointing from me; I’m just waiting for the smug minority who haven’t went in or the half hearted FF players to chirp up if it goes tits up ha. Love the planning and everything that goes into this part of the season though, certainly adds an extra incentive into the game.
And yeah that sounds about right; much appreciated!
Yeah it’s a fun part of the season – even if things don’t come off, the having a go is the fun part and if they work then even better!
Aguero owners: Are you all gonna Tripple captain or only captain? Is TC risky?
Morning Eagle – I’m just waiting to see what Pep says at lunchtime, but am keen on TCing him.
Morning Cookie (3am over here). I’m ready to activate my TC if I knew Pep would play Kun on both games. Just wanted to hear other Kun owner’s thoughts
TC’ing him got a majority of 4 to 1 on the site team committee voting if that helps any Eagle.
Just FYI you can activate these chips and then still cancel them later unlike the WC one.
Thanks Innitt. Your info really helps a lot. Didn’t know u can cancel the TC chip before deadline. Are you activating your TC chip as well?
It’s currently active.
“We’re still waiting on Matty Phillips. We’ll see how he trains today. Fingers crossed he’ll be ok”
Sounds like he is close……
I think I know Pulis better than I know my mrs!!
:thumbup: think I’ll just risk it then. Got Giroud on the bench who may come on for a cameo appearance if I’m lucky.
Giroud has a pretty record off the bench to be fair!
Ha, ha – that’s a little worrying Cookie given the new baby situation for you ?
Should we expect news from Pulis?
they’d probably come out wearing mini versions of that cap that’s been fused to his head for the last decade.
bloody hell I only said I knew him better, not that we were shagging!!!
Guess we just let our imaginations get carried away….
Haha, you’re too good for Pulis, hun x
lol thanks sweet cheeks xx
