Fantasy Football FF247 Team Game-week 22
With that game-week done, that is one less we have to worry about embarrassing ourselves in. Another pathetic showing from the FF247 XI, good thing FPL doesn’t have relegation, otherwise we drop from the Premier straight into the Sunday leagues. However, no matter how bad we perform you can never say we are not pretty predictable. That makes it red arrows in 9 of the last 11 weeks and nothing in our recent past points to a turn in our luck. We managed 30 this GW, which was 5 below the average, but about 5 more than you should expect. We now sit in 1.2 million and we find that the teams around our ranking usually are ran by people who colour coordinate their teams or only have players with names that start with the letter R. Never mind, the managers with the letter R (Rooney, Ramsey) now sit way higher than us.
We should caveat this with a credential check though! Just so you all know that we aren’t a bunch of idiot chancers. Normally, anyway! This committee, individually at least, are no mugs. We boast at least three recent top 500 finishes, one of whom came close to winning the bloody thing a few short years back and another managed to occupy two of the top ten places in the final MLS standings last season! It’s not a bad CV all told and the same guys steered it to a respectable top 6k finish last season. It has however been laughably unlucky in just about every aspect so far this season! Not a weekend goes by now without a laugh out loud moment behind the scenes as every single decision we make takes a turn for the worse, be it an own goal, a red card or just plain not even starting (see Rangel below!). So yeah, we know what we are doing but collectively we are just doing it dreadfully this year!
GW21 in summary
We think we will choose to remember this game-week as the one when we finally starting picking our captains somewhat right, sort of. Hold on, let us explain… technically we didn’t select wrong. Our capo was our second highest scorer on the team. Problem was, he only scored three points. Considering how the season has went though, we will count that as a win. On defence, we had what looked like our least reliable defender Dijk, pick up the most points with 8. Hennessey gave away a goal, Rangel didn’t start, but luckily came in and helped Swansea concede 3 goals and our prized pupil Bellerin was part of a defence that conceded 3 goals to a combination of Firmino and the Welsh Xavi Joe Allen. Our illustrious midfield combined for a total of 10 points and not to be outdone our trio of star forwards combined for 6 points. So basically the seven of them got outscored by a Fossil (Defoe) by one point, 17-16. Splendid, can’t wait for the 2016-17 season.
Transfer/s decision for GW22 – we have sold Harry Kane and bought Sergio Aguero…
As decided last time we have bought Kun, hoping that his explosiveness will reappear and propel us up the rankings. We don’t feel the need to justify Kun, although we admit that watching the Spurs game vs Sunderland may produce some nervous moments and knowing our luck some behind-the-scenes arguments, despite everyone agreeing the move! Here’s hoping Kun’s Wednesday night blank was him just waiting for us to get on board and that Kane doesn’t punish us too severely!

Our team in full…

Captain – Sergio Aguero
Home to Palace who have failed to score in four matches, we are banking on City having plenty of the ball and creating chance after chance for the goal-hungry Aguero, who will slot away another five-goal haul. Desperate? Optimistic? Confident? Well, we’re certainly two of the above – and given our ranking we feel it’s perfectly understandable.
Our vice-captain is Riyad Mahrez
If Kun gets lost on his way to the ground and tears his hamstring in the warm up, Mahrez will take the armband.

Afternoon folks,
Just a quick one, who would you play Nyom against Swansea or Rangel against Watford?
Also whose everyone captaining this week? Currently on Kane but there are a lot of tasty fixtures this weekend.
I’d trust Watford over Swans to keep a clean sheet.
+1
Bloody McDonald generation, too lazy to even freaking type a sentence. :rant:
I’m loving it……………
I can see that, Brooky. 😉
Cheers lads, also just noticed, Butland vs Arsenal or Hennessey vs City?? Kind of think it’s a lose lose situation
I personally expect more saves from Butland, but you never know. Cointoss. 😉
Yeah I currently have Butland just wasn’t too sure with City not being at it upfront lately.
Please rate my team below (No FT available)
What about my defence & Captain ??
Look good. Bench Sterling over Ayew though?
What do you think man ??
I think it’s a masterstroke if it works. I’ve cappo’d Kun as expecting City to get a few vs Palace.
Afobe or (Enner) Valencia? Next 5 GWs or so.
Hello my friends. How does my team look for this GW? I’m planning to unleash pain on my minileague rivals this GW by activating my AOA chip this week. Still not decided on who to captain of Kun, Payet and Mahrez. Got 1FT and £0.1 ITB. I think i will be saving my FT and have 2 next GW. What you all think? am i good to go this week?
Looks like a good week to use it, though I’d put Evans as first sub.
Thanks webstar. Evans first sub done. Think Kun (C) ok? Last week he blanked and frustrated many owners.
Evans first sub, Darmian second sub, Wolfshite 3rd sub. Rest is good. Keep ft. You’re in the same boat as me, hope we will both have a good GW. Wouldn’t be surprised if Kola and Zabs come on for both Sagna and Clichy. FFS, Kola must start this last game. 😉
Ok Evans first sub done and the rest as well. I wish you the best too. Are you using your AOA chip this GW too? So if Sagna is benched will i lose my AOA format or Evans will sub Sagna? Confusing how that works.
So bit of a conundrum:
Butland, whoever
Moreno, Bellerin, Huth, Alders, Souare
Ozil, KDB, Mahrez, Arnautovic, Barkley
Lukaku, Vardy, Kane
1.7 ITB, 2 FT
1) Vardy + KDB -> Aguero + cheapie
2) Moreno out for someone?
3) Help. lol
Vardy + KDB -> Aguero + Alli?
Kane + KDB -> Aguero + Payet?
Anyone other than myself? Hahaha
Good time to use the AOA or if not who to bench!?
Lukaku or Alli.
But play AOA! Perfect timing.
Seems like as good a time as any………. !!
Play it. I’m playing mines this week too.
Righto I shall! Good luck! Last chance saloon for a few players this week for me… KDB is in my crosshairs!!
