Fantasy Football FF247 Team Game-week 14
After three successive green arrows, and things starting to look rosy again, we have now somehow recorded another three successive reds! We plunged over 70,000 places this week. Let that sink in for a second. 70,000 places… This time last season 700 would have felt like a dagger. 7000 would have been a mortal blow and panic stations. It’s time to offer up the dreaded ‘vote of confidence’ –
“The board would like to announce that it has every confidence in its managers ability to arrest the recent slump and turn things around and avoid relegation this season. Funds are tight but we are sure with a bit of wheeling and dealing that the right players can be acquired to come in and give the club the boost it requires”.
The writing is on the wall then…
GW13 in summary
Gulp! GW13 can be summed up best by saying that nine of our team combined for a total that was less than our what our captain achieved. And he only got 24. The guilty nine managed 22. Let that sink in. Lots of sinking this week! Other than captain Lukaku pulling us out of the proverbial with a still underwhelming 24, and Mahrez pitching in with 9, we’d have been on the dole by now. Vardy hepled with 7 but he was the only other player that scored more than 3 points.
Transfer(s) for GW14 – Pelle OUT – Aguero IN, Myhill OUT – Hennessey IN
An unprecedented -4 HIT! Yes, you heard us right. A HIT! Maybe being conservative and seeing the sensible approach fail time after time got the better of us or maybe the recently issued vote of confidence shook us into action. Either way we have taken the plunge and gone straight to Kun. How we got there however would be a story worthy of a book. So in short…
We started with a straight forward Kun or Kane question. Kun won, just. That sparked the shenanigans though. It would involve a hit. So someone suggested Moreno in for Naughton. Seemed sensible given Liverpool’s form and fixtures and was roundly applauded and accepted. Job done. Or so we thought. That was until some bright spark actually checked it out and said it wasn’t actually a viable transfer given our budget. A day after it was all decided! The vote of confidence looked more accurate once again. What a farce! Back to the drawing board then and Kun was still the preferred option for a hit but this time with either KdB to Ozil or Myhill to Hennessey. Ozil got good support but ultimately the keeper move won the day. The fact that WBA have a tough schedule ahead and that Palace have a great chance of repaying the hit with a home game against Newcastle this week swung it. It’s always difficult to justify any hit that involves a keeper or defender but hopefully Kun keeps up his end of the deal. Our jobs depend on it, no pressure Kun!

Team Selection
We pretty much have one sub who could play but that is Morgan. Morgan of Leicester! And so he sits this one out which is actually a damning statement as at least 2/3rd’s of the rest of our defence hold little or no hope this week! The front 7 picks itself. And our hope and maybe job rests with them…

Captain – Alexis Sanchez
This was a close call. Aguero and Lukaku were considered but despite being flagged with a potential hamstring strain the Chilean was still favoured to not only make the game but take the spoils. This call could make or break the committee. Literally.
Our vice-captain is Romelu Lukaku
Should Sanchez not make it then it probably won’t matter as there will be a massive management vacancy come Monday!

That “site team” has become a bit of a mess, hasn’t it ? 3 City, 3 Lei, 2 Eve. Morgan, Westwood and Oxford stinking your bench out. It reminds me of my squad
Currently captaining Aguero.
Should I pick one of these rather?
Lukaku
Ozil
Coutinho
Ighalo
Lol….. When you put a list forward like that and all options are viable it makes it tough to pick!
I’m torn between Aguero, Lukaku and Sanchez. Will prob choose wrong one
They can all explode or do nothing. ^_^
I just have a sneaky feeling City are due a biggie and Aguero will benefit
Im on Alexis/Ozil/Alexis/Ozil/Alexis at the moment
I prefer Sanchez to Ozil. Just hope he plays
Ozil all day!!!
Have I got this right?
Hens in goal
Playing Cathcart, Rojo, and Moreno with Soaure and Bertrand on bench?
Rojo yellow flagged this morning. So Square it wll be. ^_^
Morning all,
Good to go? Not a clue who to captain, Barkley looks a good bet but Sanchez/Ozil tempting me too.
AT
Looks good. Hoping for 0-0 in the West Ham game which is a real possibility.
I would captain Aguero. Could be a momentous week if you do and he blasts off.
Cheers GP, never really like backing captains against Southampton’s defence but maybe that’s where I’m going wrong! haha
AT, keep in mind that just 1/3 of the goals Bou conceded were at home, meaning 2/3 away from home. ZOMG. Math magician. ^^
Im struggling to pick my goal keepers; De Gea or Myhill. what are the chances of man utd, keeping a clean sheet? or should I go with Myhill against a Westham side?
Gbola
I think Leicester will score so maybe Myhill for me.
