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.

Any help lads would be most helpful…
My thinking was to save a TF this gw an keep my team as is but really think payet is a to good to ignore but then who to bench if i bring him in ?
Agree on Payet but then also agree on why you shouldn’t! Probably stick as you are as there are no obvious candidates to bench unless Martinez shocks us with bad news on Lukaku. If he’s fit as expected then stick and take the 2 FT’s to Thursday.
I’d wait this week to see how payet does…
I’d wait this week to see how payet does…
I’m unsure of what defenders to play… help?
Looks good to me !!
I think you’ve got it right Alx. It’s a toss up for me between Bellerin and Toby but as I look at how Ranieri has had Leicester more defensively minded the last 3 weeks I think Toby has a better chance of a clean sheet.
Morning all. Good luck this week.
Luck is what I need, I dropped lots over the Xmas period. Hopefully a few people in my mini leagues forget there’s midweek premier league on and don’t change their teams lol
This is my line-up this week, I took a hit and brought aguero in for vardy and stanislas in for arnoutovic.
Am I benching the right people here? Hard to choose defenders this week
Hi Butcher, I’d play Wolly and probably at the expense of Toby.
Even after Leicester blanked their last 3? My logic on Toby was clean sheet potential plus attacking
They did just score 2 there at the weekend at that was without Mahrez and Vardy. Agree on his attack potential though.
Hmm got me thinking now. I changed wolly to first sub and have to think on it
Thanks for your innitput (see what I did there? Terrible I know)
Off to work now good luck
Butcher, I’d have Wol in and Bellerin as first sub.
I cant decide on who to bench. Alli mahrez or walcott. I have walcott and kane also.
Sorry i meant ozil and Kane.
Looks like Payet is going to start tonight…interesting
Bit of a Who-To-Play conundrum!
Butland (Random)
Bellerin, Alders, Huth, Moreno, Souare
Ozil, Mahrez, KDB, Arnautovic, Barkley
Vardy, Lukaku, Kane
Bench Huth, Moreno and Barkley for me milky.
^+1
I’m surprised Cookie hasn’t commented and shouted at me for something.
Only a matter of time milky, only a matter of time… 5, 4, 3, 2…
Ah sorry, missed you there Milky, apologies!!
I’d only shout at you for undoing all the amazing work I did while you were chasing lions and walking hills.
Now – oh yeah, Init has nailed it. Do what he says. I always do.
So innit and Cookie: Vardy is set to play?
