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.

Having sleepless nights over who to bench this week out of my front 8, any help would be greatly appreciated, already used my aoa chip
Mahrez ozil payet sanchez Alli
Kane aguero lukaku
Ozil the only one who is not explosive.
canu..bench ozil as you have Sanchez
RMT!
0.7 in the bank and 1 FT.
1. Aguero and 4.7m mid for kane and KdB(-4 hit) and then next gameweek i”ll get sanchez for ramsey.
2. Aguero and stanislas for lukaku and kdB (-4 hit)
But then i’m falling short of 0.1m, so if i go for this option i can’t do ramsey to sanchez with 1 transfer.
Which option should i go for?
Is stanislas fit to play?
I’m falling short of 0.1m if i get Aguero and stanislas for ighalo and kdB.
Is there a midfielder who plays every week and is worth 4.1m?
Marhez or Alli on the bench?
And I have Kane btw. If that makes any difference….
With the news breaking that the Norwich squad is suffering from a sickness bug could it be a good idea to play Ali instead of either Firminio, Mahrez or Lukaku?
Already have Kane as spurs cover
Everyone having midfield selection headaches…tough call to bench a good player when he has fixture or form.
I got rid of this headache a good few weeks ago and am happy to let Watson ride on my bench.
In another team i half manage with a mate i’m looking to take Vardy out for Valencia with the FT, this team already has Mahrez and Payet, sound alright?
Pick the starting 3 for me guys
Bellerin Zouma Dier Ward Targett
