Fantasy Football FF247 Team Game-week 24
Let your cheering and applause engulf us!! We are inside the top 1 million now. That’s right we have made it and will no longer be forced to fight in the pits, a la Spartacus (Season 1). With a score of 63 we were 20 points above the average. It was 272k ranking for the game-week and it made it back to back weeks over 60 points for the first time this season. We now sit in 839k and that is the highest we have been since GW13. Hopefully this signals that our luck is turning and we will no longer be held hostage, by the black cloud that has been hovering over us for what seems all season long.
GW23 in summary A strong overall week for the FF247 team despite another wrong choice with the captaincy. Hennessey got us 3 points, nothing to write home about, but still better than the zero he got us last GW. Our defence did a good job, with both Morgan and Olsson snatching a clean sheet. Bellerin was the only one to miss out, when his team did their usual bending over to Chelsea. Midfield was saved by man of the hour Alli. An assist, goal and the three bonus for the young man amounted to 13 points. That coupled with a Mahrez six point outing (no missed penalties) was enough to secure a decent score from our mids, despite being let down by Ozil and KdB. Our forwards delivered the goods, well except for the one we captained, predictably. Vardy grabbed 7 points and the person who should have been our captain Aguero scored 12. Lukaku (C) let us down when he wasn’t able to deliver the big blow that would have really seen us rocket up the overall. Oh well, there is always next week and another shot at the captaincy so let us get to our plans…
Transfer/s decision for GW24… Sold Kevin de Bruyne for Dimitri Payet
We hung fire as long as we could in the hope or expectation that we would receive some indication either way on the possibility of a DGW25, as this may have played a factor in our decision making. Had it been confirmed, then Silva or Yaya could have been coming in this week instead. It may still be confirmed tomorrow but it’s looking unlikely at this point. In the absence of that we went with our original and preferred choice of Payet. We could have bought anyone really and certainly Silva and Sanchez came into the reckoning regardless of any double news but Silva has a blank in GW27 and we already own Ozil. And more importantly we didn’t own Payet! Since he burst back onto the scene properly in GW21, with a goal and an assist against Bournemouth, he’s actually blanked twice but that really doesn’t tell the full story as he was magnificent against Man City and his underlying stats back up our assertion that he is likely to explode again at any given moment. Playing Villa is always helpful in that respect!

The team in full
Given the choices afforded within the squad, the team pretty much picks itself this week. Deulofeu is the one that could make us look daft but someone had to sit it out from that front 8 and we’ve gone with Mahrez vs the comical Liverpool defence.

Captain – Sergio Aguero
Having missed out last week, we weren’t going to make the same mistake again and Kun as captain was a unanimous vote, which makes a change. Away to a Sunderland side and in great form we are uber confident that Kun won’t let us down. Uh oh!
Our vice-captain is Romelu Lukaku
Hopefully Luk won’t be required to wear the armband given his shocking showing last week.

hi guys… my defense is too porous.. daniels, sagna, simpson, deir and moreno… who bench..
Ok, care to offer some last minute votes? Lukaku > Kun for a -4 today or hold?
Cech, Butland
Toby, Cresswell, Dawson, Morgan, Nyom
Mahrez, Ozil, Payet, Alli, Stanislas
Kane, Lukaku, Ighalo
Do it! Lukaku could still score well, but I’d rather have Kun and be scared of Luka than have Luka and be scared of Kun!
Cheers Pancho – anybody else out there?
I’d probably go for it, yeah. And definitely for Lukaku over Kane (presuming you don’t have funds to do Ighalo > Kun)
Colriles, here’s what I think.I mean suppose if aguero scores 2 and gets three bonuses, you’ll get 13. There’s also a chance of Lukaku scoring against Newcastle and you probably get 9. So, that’s a draw there as you have done a -4. But, the only thing that would compel me to get Aguero is the PD that Lukaku might see tonight and Kun might rise. But, there are a lot many “supposes” here.Funk it, Do it. haha
Appreciate it fellas, sounds good to me! Season can’t get much worse, it’s gotta improve sometime!
Please support as wildcard is activated and i need to increase my defense or leave it also whom to captain ??
Got to be Aguero for me.
Captain Kun and the defence i would do Sagna to Cresswell and maybe get Simpson in instead of Bassong or Smith.
Guys.. activated AOA. The only thing pulling me back is the games that my other defenders have. I mean all have matches against their “weaker” opponents..any suggestions?
right decision I think. It’s not a great chip as others have said- you’d usually back any of your front 8 to outscore your defenders even if you had to bench one of them- I think this is reasonable enough.
thnaks Pippin. ya, I hope so too buddy. I think that leic vs pool is going to be a goal fest.quite contrary to what many people think it to be. let’s wait and see
Owww ffs, really don’t know what to do. Heart says Firminho, head says Alli. Already have Kane as Spurs coverage, plus Liverpool is a freaking hot-cold team. I really don’t know. Seems we won’t get any news on City’s DGW today? O yeah, before I forget, I also need to take into account that Firminho has a blank in GW27.
Bench Kane.Play Alli
Talking about transferring in. Bench Kane? Youzzzzzzz crazy? Seriously, dude is on penalty kicks and it’s not like Alli will have a wonder brace or whatever every GW. He did nothing for 80 minutes in the CP game, only got the goal and assist very late. 😉
Raz, did you not see all the misses? Alli for me is a must play guy. With him on the National team Radar, he’s going to try’n prove himself in every match now. Kane on Penalties is the only thing that sways me away from him. 50:50 there i guess
Guys,
Quick question who to bench out of Ighalo or Arnautovic??
