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!

Ok I can either do Kdb to gosling this week or next week, it will still cost me -4 either way (as I will get kun next week) My opponent this week took -4 but pretty sure my opponent next week won’t take a -4. If I did it this week, I will play mane today, if I did it next week I would play Kdb today? So do I do it now or next week (-4 which week to take?)?
Good to go or take the hit?
Gosling? Who’s that?
He is everything you want to be, but cant be.
Leave it FDMS. :thumbup:
I have lukaku/aguero/igahlo up front. Am I mad in captaining Igahlo?
I have Lukaku, Ighalo and Vardy mate and have gone for Lukaku.. Out of those 3, Ighalo would be my last pick..
No.
Hi,
So took Aguero and Barkley instead of Pelle and Sterling.
Have £0.6 itb and 0FT
Good to go?
Thanks
Team looks good Respect good luck today 😉
How does my team look for this gameweek? I am not too fussed about getting Aguero straight away (famous last words) but I don’t have anymore transfers available this week but 0.9 in the bank? Should I be looking to sort out my keepers? Also hard leaving Delo on the bench!
Igy4 Richards instead of Ced for me I would also play Deul over Mah tough one but MU hard to break down & a must win game for Villa rest good to go good luck today 😉
Thanks Silvers! I think you’re right about Cedric but it’s either Simpson or Richards if you ask me! I’m a Utd fan and still can’t see us scoring! Still a little time to think about the Deulofeu one!
SILVERS!!!! I took your advice and put Micah in! I’m bowing down to you right now my friend!
Igy
I would have Deulofeu instead of Coutinho mate.
Gallant, I did that last week and Coutinho ended up doing really well so think I may keep him in this week!
Try turning your Spidey sense off and on again?
Igy
I’m only saying that due to the doubt of him playing. Deulofeu will surely get the 90.
If Coutinho isn’t ready I don’t think he’ll be risked. Worse still would be if he only played the last ten mins :sad-face:
It’s been a poor season for me (not that I ever do particularly well anyway!)
Thoughts on my team please? WC still available, no money in the bank…
Team looks OK strong first 11 good to go this GW going fwd you might need to improve your bench by dropping one of Silva or Kun to improve your bench good luck today
Med
Looks spot on for today. Hopefully will score very well. Couldn’t be prepared better to. Hope the luck is with you.
Captain poll from this week not working for me. Says it’s closed and doesn’t even want to show the results. >.<
I'm puzzled what to do today.
This is my team. 
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Team looks good Raz still unsure off the double Ars cover although there nk 3 GW should be ok I have gone with Sanchez for Cap but could have easily gone with Luk Good to go mate good luck 😉
You’re not fearing Wankerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr pulls of a wankerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr?
Sanchez playing just 60 minutes or worse just 20?
He was my first choice till he got this weird hammy injury.
Noticed Bou conceded just 9 of the 27 goals at home.
Yes Raz really concerned about Sanchez I just think he is due a big game I might blow it , but a risk might just be the differential I need.
Raz
That’s fine. Chill mate. 😉
Not having Kun is what scares me. He can do nothing but he can also explode and score 2 or 3.
This looks like my team, only on steroids.
Haha, with no Kun though. 😉
I feel like the SOton game can end up in a boring 1-1 or a 5-2 game. Without Pelle and away against City it might be smart of Koeman to play it defensively and gamble on the counter. Though, unsure they have the right team for that.
Also, I think they might Pelle and his headers. Not just offensively but also defensively.
Having said that. Liverpools approach last week stunned City and they were utterly shite. The goal from Kun was the only chance he got in the first half, iirc. Pool dominated them. Could work. Two losses in a row for City. Painful.
With Kompany and Hart out, and with Silva/Aguero returning for City, I think there are goals promised at both ends of the pitch.
I wont see the game, so dont care. Will be watching Lei vs United. Gonna be fun watching United lose miserably 3-0.
