Fantasy Football FF247 Team Game-week 17
Another week, another red arrow. That makes it six on the bounce for us, we are now challenging Chelsea for most embarrassing season. We scored 53 points which was only two above the average. Our GW rank was above 1.7 million and all this naturally led to us dropping in the overall to a bit over 1.1 million. Although we only went down about 60k or so spots, it is really difficult imagining getting this turned around. At this stage we would be happy to welcome the 2016-2017 season and get this nightmare over with.
GW15 in summary
In another brilliant move, we kicked off the game-week with our ever consistent crap transfer. We defy any of you to get so many transfers wrong! In a row!! The saddest part is that there is usually not a whole lot of fighting about the transfers, which makes all equally in need of a slap. However bad our transfer decisions have been so far, they still can’t match the utter ridiculousness of our captaincy selections. Naturally we went Kane this past GW and as a back up we chose KDB, who managed even less points. It has been so bad we can’t even get our VC to put up a respectable score. Once again the usual suspects got the bulk of our points. Mahrez, Vardy and Lukaku who are owned by more than 50% of FPL managers, are not exactly the ones we need to perform in a major way. Shout out to our keeper who brought in eight points though, thanks for at least putting in an effort.
Transfer for GW17 – Sold Eden Hazard & bought Aaron Ramsey
Let’s just say that our investment / punt on Hazard hasn’t exactly gone to plan and reports that he missed training on Friday finally gave us the excuse to put us and probably also him out of the collective misery. The purchase of Ramsey is straightforward enough – since coming back into the team the Welshie has grabbed two goals and an assist in his last two games and although we expect Monday’s game vs City to be somewhat tougher, we think there will be goals and City have not been great defensively without Vincent Kompany who is again ruled out. We were also aware that we had no Arsenal coverage and with them looking confident and with some decent fixtures coming up, we felt we needed some Gooner representation. Why not Mesut Ozil? Mainly due to Wenger implying that he will try and his eye-catching midfielder a rest over Christmas and it would be just our luck to buy him and he gets two games off!
We also have a small eye on a certain small Argentinian who has Sunderland at home next week and the above move gives us the option to do just that should Kun come through Monday in one piece.

Team Selection
The only real decision here was in defence and which three to pick. We benched Kolarov simply because we feel Arsenal will score but also in the knowledge that he may be a 10 minute cameo risk should Manuel go the Clichy route, but also knowing that Naughton is a risk too and if he is benched again then he’s less likely to cameo in which case Kolarov plays anyway. If he plays. If you get our logic!

Captain – Romelu Lukaku
This was unanimous and will likely be the most popular choice this week overall. He ticks both form and fixture boxes here as Leicester may be top but they concede a lot and we are expecting a fairly high scoring affair.
Our vice-captain is Riyad Mahrez

Evans in for Cedric?
Pros for ditching Cedric:
Concern about Cedric being rotated this week
More likely to get a clean sheet from Richards next week
Cedric more likely to drop in value (and both will be ditched in my wildcard anyway)
Pros for ditching Richards:
Most likely injured
If Cedric plays this week then more likely to get returns this week
Which 3 would you play out of Bellerin, Clyne, Richards, Cedric, Kolarov, Evans?
Richards won’t play, Kola is a doubt with Clichy back.Don’t think you have a choice. :p
That leaves 4…
Sort of fed up with FPL. Killed my team in a couple of GW’s with getting the likes of Costa/Hazard and co. Instead of fixing a Taylor I messed up. What to do? I don’t fucking know. If I knew Sanchez was ready I’d just do Hazard to Sanchez. >.<
Aaah, this is my f-ing team. >.<
Barkley & Evans in for Hazard & Taylor
Raz – don’t know how accurate this is but someone has just tweeted Chelsea’s team
Begovic
Azpi Zouma JT
Ramires Matic
Willian Fabregas Pedro
Costa Remy
How can anyone know the team 3 hours before kickoff?
Saying that he has just tweeted this as the bench
Traore Kennedy RLC Courtois Cahill Bamford Moses
Think he’s full of shit!!
YIP! FULL OF SHITE! Cahill has his bday and will play. 😉
Hmmm, I think Hazard might actually be injury free, but he doesn’t want to be scapegoat for having Mou sacked, which he surely was a big part of. So now fake injury so he doesn’t get booed by fans? F-ing retard. Weakling. Pathetic fool! *GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR*
I could do Hazard to Sanchez, Kane to Kun and Kolarov to Dawson. Good or bad move? -8. 😉
I’m the wrong person to ask when it comes to hits!!!!
Arsenal have just shown a clip of Sanchez banging in a free kick in training earlier today…..
Is that ”YES” or ”NO”? Take a hit that is.
Not worth -8 Raz, both may not even start the match!
I just don’t know anymore. Every move seems sideways or just wrong. How about Richards to Olsson? I can do Kola to Walker and Kane to Kun next week.
Depends on what you want to do with Hazard Raz
I want Sanchez and Kun eventually. But I also need to fix my bench. Just take a risk and do those crazy transfer now for -8 and see what happens. Or… I just don’t know. Hazard is a pissant in my eye.
I would have thought Kun more likely to start than Alexis but no point you selling Kane when you can’t field a team.
Richards or Taylor to Olsson.
Get Alexis next week and see what Kane and Kun have done this week,
A bench where Westwood is the best player should be the most worrying thing for you Raz. Probably roll the dice on Hazard and get a decent defender.
Stop sulking Raziel – not even half way through the season yet!
Looking forward to Christmas?
Yeah, but give me some advise? Kolarov to Dawson, Hazard to Sanchez and Kane to Kun for 8 point hit? Crazy?
Raz 8 point hit not worth it Kol > Dawson & Haz > Sanchez good moves 😉
One last time before I head out for a few hours!
Team for GW17, good to go?
Buy Wijnaldum
Ha ha!! Not you again!!
He’s 7/1 1st goal
Really? Get on that!
5/2 anytime
16/1 to score 2 or more and 125/1 to score a hat trick
Benching Del could be a big mistake.
He’s owned by 3.9 so it shouldn’t hurt me to much
Bench DeB instead as I have!
Team looking rock solid.
Wish it were mine. I’d be headache free. Everybody seems to have no problem fielding 11. 
Raz I have been having problems of fielding xi last 2 weeks, though it is fixed now!
That doesn’t help Snookie, not one bit. :p
Amd I scored better in those 2 weeks than the 3 weeks before them, should help now
With these spammy posts of yours on every single page, asking for same advice over and over again, Im pretty sure you have come to be more hated on this website than me.
Ramsey > Stanislas and Alder > Walker.
Unlikely :hippo:
Hi guys,
I’m looking at either Coutinho or Wijnaldum to replace Hazard – the only trouble is I don’t know which one! Help!!!
Wijnaldum.
2 home games coming up.
I like the Wiji punt, kind of wish I’d held onto him but I think I’d rather have Coutinho longer term.
Hi Guys…
Anyone here? Suggestions please….
Should i play Tadic and bench KDM?
Or should i change any midfielder to get Newcastle, Chelsea, M.United, Stoke midfielder?
Captain right?
No.
Probably.
Thanks for your comments
is that mean i just keep my current lineup to GW17?
I’d leave that as it is.
Inittowinit…thanks for your recommend…
I’d bench Allli & play Tadic.
Who should I play this GW: Nyom or Bellerin?
Thanks
I’d start the 20 somewhat year old.
Shit Raz. I don’t know their ages!
Bellerin
Cheers B. Have a good GW and Merry Christmas.
