Fantasy Football FF247 Team Game-week 4
Another week and another meh performance. While we did get that coveted green arrow, it wasn’t anything to write home about. We jumped a bit over 230k spots and ended up in a very unrespectable 2,723,655 in the overall. Oh well, could have been worse I guess, yeah it really could have. In the end our four point hit gave us a net positive of 1 point, after we total the points of the players sold as well as the players brought in and we deduct the hit. In the end the moves were not just about one week as the buying of Alexis and in particular Aguero are in our long term plans. Mahrez who facilitated the moves because of his price contributed the best score of our game-week. Because of his price and amazing production, he is a key piece to the team, a bit like Kane was last season.
At this point we can see many a player that we wish we could transfer out, but we want to show restraint and hold that wildcard. It was always our thought to at least make it until the International break, before we contemplated using it. We will continue to monitor the transfer market and see if anymore Pedro type signings occur and that coupled with the shape of our team will guide us in finding the best possible time to activate our WC.
So now onto our transfer plans and team selection for the upcoming GW.

Transfer(s) for GW4 Sold Mane, Bought Yaya Toure
Before we explain the reasoning behind our transfer we should mention that as things currently stand we intend to activate our wildcard after this weekend’s games. Should our team turn in an impressive performance this weekend we will of course reconsider this decision, but given performances to date that is unlikely!
With our wildcard looming we are in a position to take a one week punt on a player. Although given Yaya’s form to date it can hardly be described as a punt! Mane & Southampton have been a disappointment to date so we’ve decided to cut him loose this week. He was on the bench for the Saints on Thursday night and despite the fact that they were in desperate need of a goal he wasn’t thrown into the action. This suggests that his injury is worse than we were led to believe or he’s not in the right frame of mind given the interest in him from United. Thanks for the five points Sadio! Watford haven’t been the shambles at the back that many expected them to be but we just can’t ignore City’s form and therefore we’ve drafted in Yaya to go with Sterling & Aguero…odds on a scoreless draw at The Etihad?!!

Our team in full…
Team Selection
We have decided to start Per Mertesacker this week in the hope that he makes the Arsenal starting XI, although with this highly unlikely we expect Coates to climb off the bench! Reece Oxford wasn’t even considered so he’ll occupy 3rd spot on the bench. The big decision this week was the choice between Milner & Sakho. We went with Milner on the basis that Liverpool are at home, while Sakho only seems interested in attacking his mrs!!

Our captain this week is Sergio Aguero

Evening all,
Here’s our team for GW4…….
Hi all just back off my hols..not done too good so activated my wc…thoughts on this please..good luck
Not sure about Steven Taylor.
At 4m looks ok
Looks good overall but why Williams? Swansea are playing well but somewhat tough fixtures coming up for CSs, no?
Williams all day sanchez..they’ll hold manure ..taylor is last man on the bench kop plus he’s now a starter..For now right
He started last week because Janmaat was suspended, Janmaat will be back tomorrow.
Haha. Fair enough!
Would you play:
Payet against Liverpool;
Wilson against Leceister;
Coutinho against West Ham?
Coutinho every day of the week if you’ve invested 8m in him. For the week that’s in it Wilson over Payet.
Surely you can start at least two of them?
Kop.. I’m looking at bringing in Coutinho for Tadic, that’ll leave either Wilson/Payet on the bench.
Ok, bench Payet so.
Coutinho’s on fire so defo the Couts.
hit the bar twice last game, playing well even before that so no-brainer!
Wilson
Curious, anyone suggest Mert–>Kolarov?
Evening Sanchez,
I’ve just made that transfer.
Right, Kop!?! I guess the FF247 team might play the WC so went all out City attack rather that Kolarov who they will get later? (Although Kolarov is practically a full on attacker as well whose been scoring a bunch from preseason!)
Sorry Sanchez, I thought you were asking a general question
It was actually suggested, but Yaya won the vote!!
No worries, Kop. I ask because I gots Silva, Yaya, and Aguero but thinking of ditching either Silva or Yaya soon (tonight?) for Kolarov as he’s been getting CS and attacking points!! Am I crazy?
Probably!!
Would that be for a hit? If so, I’d definitely suggest you forget about it!!
Haha! Fair enough. Saving the transfer for the break!
Yes
haha
Nothing to do with your advice. Just, I spent a decent amount of time reading and thinking about the conversation above, to then find…”yes’. Brilliant. Spat my beer.
Anything worth doing? I kind of want Pedro? Either Thinking:
Save transfer
Pedro and Targett in for Ozil and Cedric
Pedro and Kolarov in for Hazard and Coates
Would be for a hit though
I’d save the hit since the break is looming and your team is fine. BUT prolly Pedro and Kolarov in for Hazard and Coates if you must! Hazard’s got a way of exploding when you least expect it though (didn’t he have a slow start last season then came bang in form a few weeks in?)
Personally wouldn’t take a hit. Pedro looked really good but holding off for a week will give u more of an insight to see whether or not he’s worth it
Thanks guys everyone this week has said leave it so I’ll do just that.
Nice transfer Team.
Makes lot of sense. More green arrows ahead I think.
Cheers GP. At this stage we’re more hopeful than expectant 😉
