Fantasy Football FF247 Team Game-week 21
Last GW we were sitting at 966 points and felt the sting of not having those two sixes at the end, upside down. So naturally we scored 33 and made it to our desired number of 999. You can choose to believe that or not, but that’s our story and we are tentatively sticking to it. Our score of 33 was 7 below the average and it landed our GW ranking at 2.6 million and something, but who is counting anyway? After that interesting score, we of course got visited by the guest of honour, Mr. Red Arrow. We now sit at 1.1 million and feel that the five monkeys we have hired to take over the site team, can’t possibly do any worse than the five monkeys that were in charge. So please welcome our new team staff as they look to better the extremely low bar, well saying there is a bar at all is probably giving the team committee too much credit.
GW20 in summary
Usually our defence plays less inspired than our captaincy choices, but this past GW they were at least respectable. With Morgan and Bellerin grabbing clean sheets, we felt like the point tally could be promising. Yeah right…as has now become custom something else went wrong and by something, we mean everything else. Our mids averaged 2 points for a total of eight points and that is when you include the captaincy that we trusted in Mahrez. Our forwards were not much better, although Vardy should have at least grabbed an assist on the penalty, if not for our dear captain missing it. Kane took the day off and Lukaku once again left us feeling that it could have been a ton more, but at least he grabbed an assist for a total of five points. Let’s move onto our transfers for the upcoming game-week so you know which player or players to stay away from.
Transfer/s decision for GW21 – we have sold Aaron Ramsey and Alberto Moreno and bought Delle Alli and Angel Rangel
Now, on the surface the transfers seem fairly straightforward. However, what preceeded them was a decision to wildcard our sorry lot of misfits and two days of wrangling, arguing, toy throwing, laughing, crying, resignations, (reluctant) reinstatements only to end up with a new team that frankly was bang on template, but we had Kun. So the decision was taken (it was about the only thing we did agree on) not to wildcard just to get Kun and a whole load of other high-ownership players. Sure we want Kun but we can do without him this week and the plan is to sell Harry Kane for him with our free transfer for GW22. In the meantime we needed to raise cash. Buying the inform Delle Alli for Ramsey ensures us attacking Spurs coverage for when Kane departs, while Swansea have Sunderland at home in GW21 and gives us immediate improvement (on paper) for this week – the Swans also have some decent fixtures going forward and Rangel seems to be favoured by caretaker manager Alan Curtis. He’s also lovely and cheap at just 4.1mln.

Our team in full…

Captain – Kevin de Bruyne
KDB sneaked the vote, pipping Harry Kane 4-2, primarily on the back of his home form this season, where he has delivered double digit returns on four occassions and showed his form on Saturday in the Cup when he came off the bench to score at Norwich. C’mon Ginge, we need you now, more than ever.
Our vice-captain is Harry Kane
If KDB for one reason or another doesn’t feature then Kane will take the armband.

Who to put on the bench, Alli or Mahrez? I’ve gone Kane btw.
I know a lot of people are going to say Mahrez (to bench) but I get the feeling Leicester will start winning again….
Difficult!
3 out of 4 of his double figure point hauls recently have come in away games. I will be motivated to even captain him. Not wise to put this bad boy on bench.
RMT?
0 itb, both FTs used.
Not sure if I should keep Bellerin on bench.
I would for sure play him over Van Dijk
B, I might tempted to bring in Bellerin’s attacking threat for Van Dijk, Southampton have hardly been convincing lately conceding 5 in the last 3 to Palace, Norwich and West Ham
NIN where are you ?!?!?!?!?
Costa fit to play tomorrow!
Ooo. Vardy–>Costa (c)? Very tempted! Thanks for the update, Cookie!!
Guys.I m currently on WC.Should i keep any swans defender? I have williams but i was thinking of Rangel.What should I do?.Other 4 Def are Mertasacker,Francis,Cresswell,Dier.Swansea def is looking disasterous Atm that worries me
Get a Souare, Ward or Dann
How abt some WBA cover?
Get Souare, Ward or Dann
Dhruva
Swansea kept three clean sheets in a row recently. If I were on a wildcard, I would consider Rangel definitely.
Hey guys, assuming there are no big surprises when Team Talk comes out, how does this set-up look? Is there anything you would change with the defense or bench? For once all my defenders have halfway decent home matches.
Hey, Red. Your favorite defender Zouma on bench, and second? I’d start him, no?
Id be tempted to play Zouma ahead of Woll because of recent clean sheets Chelsea has been keeping, but Norwich has usually been gutless in away games. So a very tough decision there mate.
I’d start Zouma,probably over Kolorov.
Thanks guys, I could make a case for each defender starting this week, except Van Dijk probably. Sanchez, who would you bench for Zouma? And would you guys have Gosling as first sub or whichever defender gets benched?
I’m w/ Brooky: Kolarov, mate. I’ve got him first sub in my team though it is a tough one. Go w/ what you feel.
jeez Red, play Zouma and bench Kolarov, especially as Kolarov played on Saturday and Pellegrini has confirmed all four full backs are fit. But Kompany isn’t.
Red
I see Everton threatening so Zouma for Kolarov for me.
Hello guys, need suggestion. Have 0.6m itb, 1 Ft. Francis is going to drop again tonight. Its of no use to keep him. Should I pay attention to this issue or resolve Moreno issue ..Thinking of Darmian for Utd cover but is he nailed for sure? Second option is to get Williams for Francis as Swansea’s fixtures and form both look better.. What to do ?
Keep. Fixtures are good for Bournemouth, and he might surprise you by coming off of your bench.
Thanks B. But, Swansea fixtures look real good along with Williams form. Do you suggest Moreno to him?
Constantine
Moreno I would deal with first. I had him until recently and was encouraged by his attacking positions but nothing was coming from it. Liverpool are struggling at the back now too.
Thanks GP..You got my belief stronger.. Moreno to Williams advisable?
