Winging it…
Our Gameweek 19 Result
We suppose that our triple Newcastle contingent notching a whopping 2 points between them was a strong portent of what was to come. They can all bugger off on the incoming Wildcard.
Things did ‘pick up’ briefly when our new signing Trent got a cleanie and all 3 bonus points. Sadly, that was to prove to be the highlight of our week!
Solanke and Foden scoring did cheer us up a touch, but the rest did naff all, to put it politely. They can all bugger off too.
All in all we matched the average of 38 which saw our rank fall a bit to 5,089th.
We have 2.9m in the bank and 1 free transfer to use ahead of GW20. And, evidently, a Wildcard that must be burned. And a promise of selling most of our squad, if you believe the above. Let’s go see what was decided….
Our GW20 Transfer(s)
Turns out that this is quite a tricky week to wield a WC! With Haaland seemingly out, but wanting to come back in for GW21, and with Salah leaving, but rather unhelpfully not until after this one, we have a bit of a quandary on our hands.
The big decision, it seemed, was whether to keep Salah, or just cut our losses early doors. This decision alone took over 24 hours! In the end we decided to keep him. Oh good, that’s one player sorted out of the 15 then…
Turns out (who knew) that the rest didn’t actually need that much doing to it. We culled the Newcastle players, Howe has flogged them enough recently without us adding to their woes. Bowen being the main beneficiary. We clearly needed a 2nd keeper and decided that Areola rotates (22 & 25, specifically) with the Chelsea guy. Estupinan comes back in as a bit of a left-field pick. Alvarez comes in for a bit, simply because we fancy City may destroy Sheffield.
Oh, and then Botman insisted on a late recall, clearly not having got the previous memo. But that’s just a bit of cheap forward thinking ahead of GW23 onwards.
To confirm then we have finally WILDCARDED
Our GW20 team in full…
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

***FF247 SITE TEAM GW20***
Wildcard activated… finally!
Nice squad for the site team.
Who am I to offer advice but think I would play Palmer over Solanke.
Jamie
Have you seen Spurs defending lately, or. Chelsea attacking?!
It’s a close call.
Stoked you got those extra points with TAA.
Am I reading this right that the plan will be to sell Salah for Richarlison then Alvarez to Haaland (assume the following GW). Think you currently have a 0.2m buffer, so could be close. Might need to be quick on the transfers to avoided too much of a price swing
Not sure what you’re reading but I don’t think Richarlison was mentioned anywhere
Thought it would be since Spurs are so attacking and with Son leaving we should expect Richarlison to benefit
It’s a possibility. No doubt it will be considered about 3 minutes before the next article deadline!
Still waiting for your email btw
Sent a DM on X
Wildcard now active.
Still have 3.3m spare.
Any changes required?
HF, you can’t leave that much money itb, should all be in your team.
Jamie
Agreed, but need some in reserve for Haaland.
I know I will need to ditch Salah next week (for who is another matter)
I’d upgrade Udogie to Porro.
Good suggestion.
And how is my team format at present?
Balanced, solid team mate.
Richarlison or foden please? Will probably bring the other one in for salah next week or possibly Szoboszlai x
Foden for me Joanne, especially with a home fixture v Sheffield United.
Jamie
Foden for me. Got him for a -4 myself
Has to be Foden this week.
Ignoring Alvarez against Sheffield at home who have shipped enormous 32 goals and at the same time going for flipflops Salah who now and again scores the odd goal is a suicidal I recon
Are you talking to the Site Team? Or yourself at 10.58 tomorrow morning?
I was thinking Wilson to Alvarez here with my 1FT. Worth doing anything else for a hit? Wouldn’t mind Bowen for Palmer but that would also require getting someone cheaper for Trippier! Thoughts.
Igy. You’d want Haaland next game week anyways. I’d save the FT. You have 8 playing attackers. Just bench one. I’d go with Wilson. Foden covers you fir City game.
Evening all on a wc.
This look ok?
Plan next week salah to richarldson
Alvarez to haaland
Nice team piksi.
Cheers Constantine
