Fantasy Football FF247 Team Game-week 26
‘You’re s**t and you know you are, you’re s**t and you know are’ was heard echoing around the streets near to the FF247 offices as we arrived for work on Monday morning. Who was singing it? We’re not sure, but we have our suspicions! As you’ve probably guessed or in all likelihood you’ve come to assume at this stage we got our customary red arrow, our 13th of the season. GW25 saw us pick up 58pts which gave us a GW ranking of 1,758,718. The good news is that we’re still inside the top 1m with an OR of 997,243. Things are bad when we consider that to be good news!
GW25 in summary – It was s**t, that about sums it up. You want the gory details? Ok so, but it ain’t pretty! Wayne ‘I no longer know how to keep a clean sheet’ Hennessy conceded after just 13 minutes, at least he didn’t try to get our hopes up. Our defence didn’t do too badly as we garnered two clean sheets from a possible three thanks to van Dijk & Bellerin. Our midfield wasn’t bad either as they combined for two goals & two assists. Unfortunately though it was Mahrez & Ozil who did most of the damage and them being the two most popular midfielders they might as well not have bothered for all the good it did. We’re not bitter though and at least they performed unlike Dimitri Payet who once again did diddly squat. And so to the forwards who were something of a disappointment. By all accounts our captain Harry Kane had quite a good game and was rather unlucky not to find himself on the scoresheet. Unfortunately Harry we didn’t pick you to have a good game, we picked you to score. Granted Sergio Aguero did find the back of the net but when you pay over £13m for a player you really do expect more. Jamie Vardy also failed to score this week but he’s done more than enough for us over the course of the season.
Transfer decision for GW26 Sold Olsson, Bought Wollscheid
No your eyes do not deceive you. In what can only be described as the most boring transfer we’ve made this season and we’ve made a few, we have sold Jonas Olsson and bought Philipp Wollscheid. When we held our transfer meeting last night we had in fact agreed on a much more exciting & radical transfer…we were going to sell Aguero and buy Costa. However we decided to wait until after today’s press conferences before pulling the trigger. The news that David Silva is fit for City coupled with Costa’s broken nose forced us to shelve that transfer.
So why sell Olsson? Well West Brom haven’t exactly been solid at the back in recent times and with a number of tough fixtures on the horizon we’ve decided that now is the right time to ship out the Swede. With Stoke having kept just one clean sheet in their last seven games and conceding 15 in that period, you’re probably wondering why we’ve replaced him with Wollscheid. With Ryan Shawcross due to return in GW27 we’re banking on him adding some much needed solidity to the Stoke defence. The main reason however is that as things currently stand Stoke are one of only four teams guaranteed to play in GW30. In essence this transfer has been made with one eye on the future. We should also add that we had 2 free transfers so we thought better to “use than lose” and we will again have 2 free transfers for GW27 and beyond.

Captain – Sergio Aguero
We’ve turned into a fickle bunch in these parts. Instead of selling Sergio Aguero this week we have instead decided to hand him the captain’s armband. Given the fixtures this weekend there was no standout candidate for the armband, so when in doubt captain Aguero! He’s got a great track record at home against Spurs and City will be desperate to bounce back following last weekend’s defeat at the hands of Leicester.
Our vice-captain is Mesut Ozil

Site team is up everyone! Don’t get too excited
Good moooonnniinnnn!!!
Team for GW26 – good to go?
Hahahaha just couldn’t help yourself could you?!
No mate – I wanted rid of Bennett ASAP! I feel happy with the move to be honest and in my head the Man U game is a banker for me! Plus Jackson does look decent
P.S still haven’t taken a hit since your intervention
The therapy worked
I’m due a relapse soon
Decent team, but you could end up with a high scoring bench this GW.
Morning B – who would you bench?
Borthwick-Jackson ……. :hippo:
I give up………… :what:
Hahahaha
He’ll be asking us which defender to bench every week…………..scuse me while I find a wall to bang my head against…………….
Mitro, what I don’t get is if you felt you HAD to make a transfer when everyone advised you not to, then why not bring in a defender who will play in GW30?
Don’t get that move at all to be honest. You could have bought Simpson.
Vardy for lukaku next week and Simpson for Williams the week after
One of those transfers whether this week or next or leading up to GW30 could of been Wollscheid.
In my view you’ve wasted a transfer, but it’s your team and your call buddy
thats progress Brooky
And IMO man Utd have a better chance of keeping a clean sheet this week than Swansea
Hi all, would appreciate any advice I can get.
I’m currently chasing my leader who is 50 points away.
My team is
Butland, McCarthy
Bellerin Dier Jagielka Fonte Evans
Sanchez Payet Alli Mahrez Stanilas
Kane Vardy Aguero
His team is
Ceck Hennessey
Dann Toby Dawson Daniels Simpson
Sanchez Payet Alli Mahrez Barklet
Aguero Kane Ighalo
Should I continue to play it safe or start changing something? I was thinking of
1) Kane to Costa (due to his fixtures but this move feels wrong)
2) Stanilas to Antonio and I will play AOA this week and then Antonio will play again next week when Aguero blanks
3) Hold
What do you guys reckon? Pancho suggested I go with 2 and I feel that also. Any more ideas before I transfer?
How many chips does your opponent have left?
We still have all the chips to play!
Your lineup this GW is very straightforward.
Butland
Bellerin – Jag – Fonte
Sanchez – Payet – Alli – Mahrez
Kane – Vardy – Aguero
Just stick to your strong starting 11, save FT and reassess in blank GW that is coming up shortly. No need to waste transfers just because you want to use a useless chip. But if you have 2 FTs, then Evans > Huth would be a decent move.
Thanks B. Yup I’m doing Evans to Fuchs the following week, just thought Antonio might be a good way to secure points since Payet is quite off and WH has good fixtures
Hello People. back from my mourning. Straight with a question: Should I play Austin?
Who’s the alternative?
Mitro , Its Vardy/Kun/Mahrez/Alli/Firmino/Sanchez/Payet
Probably stick with Austin mate – great front 8
I’m not convinced I’ve got the right starting XI, any thoughts? Thank you
Morning Joanne, I’d prob play Alder over Simpson as I believe there is more chance of Arsenal kicking off than City. I could be wrong but that’s what I’d do.
The rest looks fine and is what I would do.
+1
That blue star is there for a reason.
Ha ha good point *always trust in the blue star
Done!!
Thanks again guys
Good morning team! Am I good?
Butland
Bellerin, Souare, Van Dijk
Ozil, Mahrez, Barkley, Payet
Kane, Aguero, Lukaku
McCarthy, Alderweireld, Huth, Stanislas
1 FT, 1 ITB
Milky hello. Start McCarthy just in case the Lord gets mixed up when announcing the team. Stoke will likely concede.
Just for you, I’ll do that. Double CP defense even!
