Fantasy Football FF247 Team Game-week 25

The team committee is starting to feel like inmates who write the days they have spent locked up on the wall. Being part of the selection process for the site team is like being behind bars with no chance of parole. A moment of happiness (probably just a wet dream), last GW has quickly turned into another predictable red arrow. We scored 58 points this past GW, which gave us a ranking of over 2 million for the week and dropped us in the overall to 930K. All is not lost though, we still harbour a bit of pride (not sure why) so we can still be embarrassed over the coming weeks.

GW24 in summary – Tuesday was great, we scored 57 points and moved up the rankings nicely. Then Wednesday came and we plummeted. We only had one guy going on Wednesday and he had to be subbed off at half time with only one point. Our defence wasn’t great as only Bellerin grabbed a clean sheet. We decided to play Rangel and Olsson over Morgan and van Dijk. Predictably the latter two got clean sheets and the former combined for 4 points. The mids didn’t perform bad but the high ownerships of all of them meant that we would not see a huge difference in the standings. They combined for 22 points with Alli leading the way with a nice 10 point effort. Up top our continued faith in Vardy paid off as he carved up the Liverpool defence and scored a brace. Our captain Aguero grabbed a goal and a yellow, so not terrible but nothing to get excited about either. Lukaku went off early in his game and considering that Barkley took two pens in his place, it cost us dearly, as per the masses.

Transfer decision for GW25… Sold Lukaku for Kane
The straw that broke the camels back was probably nothing more than a straw that almost broke the camels back. It may transpire that it did no such thing and was merely a knee to it that caused some minor discomfort but for us it was a cue for major surgery. Well ok, not major, but enough for us to to consider an exploratory and the findings were that Romelu needed removing, post-haste. He may well play, and he may well play well. Either way we weren’t prepared to wait and find out. And so we welcome our new signing with open arms as his current form contrasts greatly with his predecessor’s.

We had two transfers this week and we could have easily burned both – Ozil to Sanchez, Deulofeu to Siggy, anyone to Firmino. Any and all would have been acceptable but also, ultimately, a punt. We decided to keep the free transfer back given what lies ahead.

Captain – Harry Kane
Our new signing goes straight to the top of the pecking order this week. Four goals in his last three is actually one worse than his alternative, which is Aguero, but let’s face it neither is exactly a bad option and the strength of opposition swayed us. Leicester will try to keep this one tight to thwart Aguero, and break when they can. Watford are without a win in their last three away games whereas Spurs have plundered 16 goals in their last 5 games in all competitions.

Our vice-captain is Aguero
