Fantasy Football 247 Site Team News Gameweek 19
UPDATED 21:30pm Christmas Day
Welcome to FF247 Site Team GW19. We have finally got a red arrow unfortunately. For what is a rarity this season but our 42 points, while above the average of 36 points was not enough to get us a green arrow. We have dropped from 1,992 to 3,456 (we love order). This is still an amazing rank and we will keep pushing for that number 1 spot!
Our Gameweek 18 Result
We have £7.1 in the bank and 1 free transfer to use ahead of GW19. Let’s go see what was decided… nothing. We decided to do nothing and just roll. Or did we…
Our GW19 Transfer(s)
Our initial thinking here was to simply do a Fonzie and walk away with the 2 FT’s. That was until the sharper ones amongst us (essentially just the sober ones on Christmas Day!) realised that having 2 FT’s, along with a use it or lose it Wildcard was a bit overkill / daft!
As such we may as well do a Hail Mary. Son was considered but all of our other mids look ok for this one. Trent, with Burnley away, and him on form, seemed to be the other obvious one. Along with having cash to burn, and a WC to fix any budget balancing issues by Saturday.
Konsa away at Man United looks like our only real weak link, potentially. But we decided to keep him anyway, albeit on the bench, as we would most likely want some Villa coverage on the WC, plus he’s gone up 0.1m this week. Always thinking… Branthwaite was decided on as the fall guy instead.
To confirm then we have SOLD Branthwaite and BOUGHT Trent
Captain – Salah

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

What should I do here?
Looking to do my wildcard after this gameweek
Tsim to Trent
Could do, then re-evaluate things for my wildcard
Well done for those with WC, I have lots of suspended players suddenly. WC would be handy.
+1. The exact same move I did
If I did this transfer, who do I bench?
JWP
But you’ll end up with a pretty strong bench. Pray for rotation…
32 points on my bench I think that’s a new PB.
Have seen some days myself when the bench had more points than the 11 playing ones. Scary stuff
I feel and share your pain, with exactly the same bench. Archer and Taylor are permanent bench , the only choice I made was Tsimikas over Gabriel as they were at home.
Good to go? Not sure about captaining Haaland, but if he’s fit he’ll play right? And if he’s not he won’t? Might be worth the gamble, but we’ll see…. Sold Tsimikas and bought Senesi….
A very Merry Christmas to you all.
Wishing you a peaceful and happy day with the families and loved ones and some decent football (and FPL) for you tomorrow!

Merry Christmas to all my friends here.
Have a blast this FPL season.
