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 is better henessey against aston villa or de gea against Newcastle?
Why the vote came to kdb no kane for captain ?
I voted for Kane! In fact it was a fairly split decision and KdB edged it marginally. No idea on your keepers there, either would suffice and probably have an equally good chance of a CS.
Mahelmy, I have those two and went with DDG as I have Dann for palace coverage.
Would you start Bellerin over Walker for his attacking potential?
Wolls and Williams are my other 2 defenders.
Yes mate I would. Better % chance of a CS too but only just. Both will probably concede.
cheers mate. I think you’re right about them both not keeping clean sheets, think i’ll go for the attacking potential.
Photoelectric, I keep following behind Init every time he tells people to play arsenal over spurs and I am saying play the Spurs over arsenal
I think Leicester’s defensive mindedness the last few weeks is what pushes me in that direction.
Great autocorrect from Photek -> Photoelectric
that could be my new name Pancho 😉
TBH i think they both look likely to concede
Is this team sorted for this gameweek or would anyone make any changes
De gea
Bellerin. Ivanovich. Rangel
Mahrez. Arnautovic. KDB. Ozil
Aguero (c). Lukaku. Kane
McCarthy. Alli. Ward. Davies
Cheers
Looks pretty set, i think its a coin toss between Mahrez and Alli tho
hallo everyone,
Got Kun and Alli for Lukaku and Silva, hope it will work out
Anyway 0FT £0.4 itb
Good to go?
Thanks and good luck to all!
I think i’ve made up my mind
Vardy + Barkley out for Kane + Watson (as i need a 5th mid)
Sound good?
Photek
I like it.
Cheers GP
Are you all set?
LUKAKU has trained well and “feels really well and clear to play” vs City.
that’s good, i’ve kept him
Morning Cookie, that’s great news. Made my transfers last night before price changes as Init was pretty certain Lukaku would be fit. Good call init! Are you going to have time for a TT article today Cookie or are you going to update here as possible?
Hi Red, am working on TeamTalk now, still have a few pressers to come but it’ll be published soon after the final presser, my friend.
Awesome, thanks for putting that together even with the odd start for this “gw”! Now I just need a few of my ML rivals to forget about the deadline and I’ll be in business.
How fantastic would that be?! I could certainly do with some sneaky help
It’s a miracle you need 😉
you need a kicking
Bring it on
I’ll attack you with my oversized t-shirt
