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

I heard lukaku will be available to tomorrow
Is it right ?
Henensey or de gea this game weeek?
Mahelmy, looks that way. DDG for me. Good luck.
There we go NIN… 😉 WATit
I’d fully expect him to play tomorrow mahelmy.
No idea who henensey is so maybe DDG.
Hello Init, you well pal? Thoughts on Lukaku?
Hi all,
I have 2FT and 0.2ITB, which moves I shall make…suggestions please. Thank you.
Hi lampard
Can you reach Kevin Wimmer from Ward? If not, then I’d maybe look to West Ham for some defensive coverage. Palace appear to be bang in the middle of one of those ‘Pardew’ runs
Having said that, Wollscheid could probably go too as Stoke are in a rut as well. WImmer in would give decent Spurs coverage at a cracking little price.
I’m fearing benching mahrez today can someone advise whether it’s the right move?!
What are the options adam?
Front 8 of mahrez payet Sanchez Alli firmino Kane lukaku and kun?
Since im on vacation and have limited acess, could somebody advice me on my team
Butland
Dier fonte moreno
Sanchez ozil firmino alli
Kane kun igloo
Mccarthy mahrez sinpson soares
Is this my right 1st 11.
And who to capt
Thinking sanchez right now
Lab
I might be tempted to play Mahrez ahead of Ighalo but it’s close.
I’m thinking Sanchez too to be honest. Kane and Aguero are close though.
So u think city will lose their cleansheet?
Thanks for your opinion
Lab
There is every chance. And there is also the chance Spurs could keep one.
Morning all, here’s to a Big Rom hatty!
Morning Cookie
Woken up this morning with a notion for Sanchez captain!
Reasonable or ridiculous?
GP, the last two times I have listened to you on a Saturday morning….. 😉
So no, not for me thanks
I asked for that
You did! Though in fairness I am thinking of Ozil as he was very unlucky vs Southampton, so we’re not far apart.
I actually have Ozil as well Cookie.
No harm to AFCB but you can just see a potential drubbing in this one. Not that it will make or break Bournemouth’s season but Arsenal do tend to lash out in games as this sometimes.
Ok GP, you go Alexis and I’ll go Ozil – deal?!
Done.
I’m off out now with the kids. So I’ve set up Alexis and I’m leaving it.
Cool, I’m on Bog Eyes. Have a nice day mate.
GP – I have a feeling Sanchez may be the one today!
Morning Cookie, GP and all! How are you guys?
Long time no see, lots of work these days and no time to post.
Cookie, I second that! Time to punish all the sellers!
Morning Albo, how you keeping? Great to see you!
Trust me I hope Lukaku and Ozil kick it big time this week!
Thanks Cookie, doing good, and you? All set for this GW?
I hope you’re right mate, it was painful to watch Ozil missing two sitters and those two penalties going to Barkley last GW…
Don’t talk to me about those pens – I had Luk limping round the dressing room and Baines sitting there on the bench. Pretty much sums up the season!
I need to bench one of Kos, Dier or Rangel – thoughts?
Cookie, I’d bench Rangel.
Cheers Albertini, I have just done that funnily enough and then saw your answer!
Thanks
No problem Cookie, seems the best option. Good luck!
You too Albertini
Mr Tini
Great to see you. I noticed you were back on last night as I read through the comments.
Work comes first mate. Except for Cookie 😉
Haha!
You don’t need to work when you live in… well, we all know where, right?
Good to see you too GP, how’s your season going?
I was upwards of 40K at one point then a disasotorous run took me almost out the top 1M.
Back under 500,000 now and top 100K is in my sights. I’d call that a win
Tough and weird season this one! Yeah, still a long way to go mate.
Morning Cookie !! +1 to that.I’ve hung onto him purely because of Stokes defensive woes at the moment,but somehow it doesn’t feel right !!! If he’s on the bench and comes on for the last 10 mins I’ll be fuming !!
Brooky, I imagine he’s either fit enough to start or not fit at all. Can’t see him being a sub.
Famous last words
Ha ha yes.Watching his value plummet and Vardy’s value go up has been hard to swallow and was so tempted to do the switch.Just hope he doesn’t become “Troll-Kaku” again !!
Hey guys. Had a terrible week last week as site didn’t register putting Ali in for Ighalo
Not really sure what to do atm. 1FT 2.4ITB
Evans –> ???
Lukaku –> Kane
Ozil –> Sanchez
I’m in the same dilemma with Ozil-Sanchez I’m leaning towards just sticking with Ozil. I would get Kane this week and C him
