Fantasy Football 247 Site Team News Gameweek 18
Solankied
Welcome to FF247 Site Team GW18
With FPL finally deciding to call an end to GW17 last night our hopes of keeping Solanke’s 6pts and having them upgraded to 9pts (with bonus) were dashed. Instead we have to make do with Mubama’s 1-pointer off the bench. So now we have 63pts (-4pts) which has turned a small green arrow into a small red one, leaving us ranked 1,992nd.
All in all, it was a fairly decent week despite the red arrow. Our move for Solanke may not have turned out as planned but there are more important things in life. Our hit for a keeper paid off (we wouldn’t have had one otherwise) and whilst our captain blanked, there was very little competition to punish us.
Star man this week was Palmer with a 14-pointer. Watkins grabbing a goal and max bonus was nice and a 5 and 6 from Foden and Gordon respectively doesn’t set the world alight but we’ll take it thank you very much!
Our Gameweek 17 Result
We have £7.0 in the bank and 1 free transfer to use ahead of GW18. Let’s go see what was decided….
Our GW18 Transfer(s)
If we get positive news on Schar (currently yellow-flagged), we will likely roll our transfer. Should he be declared unavailable then we’re looking a little threadbare with Mubama the only player on our bench with a game. Not good.
With a Christmas party for yours truly (Rosco) to attend this afternoon and a looming GW18 deadline we’ve made the assumption we will have no news about the above. We have decided to make a move. Defensive cover felt necessary so we put it to the vote with Udogie to one of Porro or Konsa the options. Konsa won out as the (hopefully) safest route into a Villa defence that has Sheffield United at home this week. With our Wildcard still to play, we feel we can be a little more relaxed with our approach, immediate gains are our main priority and hopefully, the Villa defence will not let us down! U
Watkins takes the armband with our eye firmly on the sheer volume of goals they concede and the memory of that 23-pointer from earlier in the season. Will lightning strike twice? Probably not, but you can’t win the lottery if you don’t buy a ticket!
To confirm then we have SOLD Udogie and BOUGHT Konsa
Captain – Watkins

PREDICTED LINE-UPS
Back by popular demand! Well, sort of… Drafthound have changed their line-up approach this season and what it means for us is that we are no longer able to display a live feed of it on here due to some technical difficulties. That said, what they have done looks great and is still only a click away so if you want to access those they are HERE

GW17 was finally bought to its conclusion, and we quickly switch our attention to GW18 as the festive fixtures begin! Good luck this game week and if you celebrate it then a Merry Christmas to you and yours and may your arrows be green!
Good luck to everyone this coming GW!
this is me for this GW. took out ward prowse and brought in kulusevski. 0ft and 8.5 itb. am i good to go? should i play andersen or take him out with one of my benched defenders?
I think you have it right. Slightly prefer Taylor over Gabriel, but not much to it.
thanks dane
Hi all, I have no playing keeper (Johnston and Kelleher). Any recommendations to get me through the Xmas period? Happy Christmas to all
Depends on how much you have and are willing to spend. I have Dubravka myself. At 4.2 he’s good value into the Newcastle defence.
Well quite a lot as I’ve sold Haaland but obviously will need funds. probably around 4.5m Can’t get Dubravaka as I already have 3 from Newcastle (although one of them is Gordon!).
Claire ,link your present team to your name so we can see your team, at the moment your’e Anders from Denmark
Has the site team still to play their wildcard?

Getting more points
Having benched my City duo, do I need to do anything drastic here? I’ve got 2.8 in the bank and 1 FT.
Excellent team! Save I guess. Good luck!
Roll, roll, roll your team
