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.

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.

Bench Lloris or Hennessy
and
bench Lukaku or midfielder?
Lukaku in for Arnie and GK would be Hennessey for me Meloncat.
Thanks GP, I do want to play Arnautovic… Who would be your second choice?
Because you have Kane, Alli I think.
What do you think of this lot?
Souare worth a shot but for who??
Wolly so as not to double?
Thanks!
Shadow
Yeah I would do that one mate.
Souare for Wollscheid.
Yeh I reckon that’s probably a good idea, double Stoke didn’t go well last gameweek.
Shadow, For me I’d be fine doubling in Stoke this week as I think they have a better chance of a CS than Arsenal and Spurs this week. I’d put Souare in for Koscielny.
Gentlemen, need some help deciding the team for this week. Don’t really want to put Alli on the bench but Arnautovic home at Norwich sounds good too. Taking a punt on Costa as captain.
MayAr
Norwich aren’t too bad a side on their day. Stoke’s games have been mounting recently so I would start Arnie on the bench for Alli.
I may be busy at the deadline tonight so I need to get my WC squad and starting team set.
How does this look guys?
Many thanks.
I like it GP, I might be tempted to give Hennessey the gloves this week as i can see Leics scoring but then that will double you up on Palace defense so i can see why you’ve spread it.
Exactly for that reason photek.
Thanks for the comment.
GP, if you are against doubling up on Palace why would you give yourself the option? Weeks where you want to play one you would likely want to play the other too and so if you are against playing both you may as well buy a different defender or keeper, no?
AT
Most weeks I would like Lloris. Hennessey is good reliable back up.
Hey Gallant, nice looking WC team, very well balanced. Not sure how you’re doing in the rankings or your ML, but I’m wondering if maybe a couple more differentials might be a good idea to help you climb. It’s tough to squeeze them in though as going without some of the consistent (and popular) point scorers is a scary proposition. Having no Vardy or Mahrez is a sort of differential in itself though and I think that might be a good call, seems like they’re going off the boil a bit. I just sold Vardy myself this week, had him almost all season. Best of luck and thanks for all the advice, I went with Gosling as my 5th mid to accommodate Aguero.
Thanks Red.
I feel ok having no Leicester now. I’m relaxed about that. That may be the wrong call but I’m not stressing.
I would like another differential but can’t find one I’m happy with as opposed to what I have.
How’s the family mate?
The family’s doing great GP, thanks for asking. The boy hit 4 months on the 6th and is growing like a weed. He wasn’t too impressed when I told I was thinking about captaining Ighalo over Aguero though.
Ok.
Finding it tough to drop one of my strikers for kun though with £4.5m in the bank I could do it without a hit (for lukaku or Kane).
Any thoughts on my team?
Thanks!
J.
James
Lukaku. Then consider Kane to Lukaku in a week or two if necessary?
Steven Caulker signs for Liverpool on loan
and they’ve said he is available for the next game
