Fantasy Football FF247 Team Gameweek 10
From the sublime to the ridiculous in just one gameweek – 105pts in GW8 became just 45pts in GW9. Average at best, could of been worse we guess, but disappointing nonetheless. The average score was only 38pts so maybe we are being harsh on ourselves. Our top scorer was the ever dependable Baines, who’s assist and 2bps compensated somewhat for the lack of a clean sheet. We did have clean sheets from Alderweireld and Taylor, while Fabregas assisted to also contribute 6pts. Our captain Aguero missed a few simple chances and arguably could of been sent off in City’s loss at West Ham, while Siggy was looking good for a half decent score until his manager transferred him out on 57mins as a precaution. Last week’s transfer, Pelle assisted for a 5pt return, but Tadic, Krul, Di Maria and Welbeck all underperformed. So 45pts, we actually climbed 8 places in the rankings to 671st place – so we shouldn’t be too down, it was just one of those weeks.
Transfer for GW10
We explained our rationale last week in selling Diego Costa and buying Graziano Pelle and suggested that our probable move this week would be to reverse that. After a week’s worth of speculation, reports and rumours, we can confirm that we have indeed:
sold Graziano Pelle and bought back Diego Costa
Despite wanting Costa back in the side for the visit of QPR, it was still a wrench to sell Pelle, who impressed again vs Stoke, assisted Mane for the goal and got himself is some great positions to score. However, Costa is Costa, Chelsea are Chelsea and indeed QPR are QPR!! We still have Saints attacking coverage in Tadic, so we feel justified in sticking to our plans re Costa.
We have decided to play Krul in goal at home to Liverpool – hopefully they can do an early game-week job on the Liverpool strikeforce.
At the back Alderweireld and Baines select themselves and joining them is Moore, who’s Leicester team host West Brom. It was a pretty tough call between him, Hutton (home to Spurs) and Taylor (away at Everton). A bit like having to choose which ugly girl to snog at a party – we had to choose one and we plumped with Moore.
The midfield and attack selects itself!
Captain
Unsurprisingly, we are captaining Costa. The QPR fixture is too good to ignore and we are not fooled by the cleansheet they kept at home to Villa on Monday. With Chelsea looking to get back to winning ways after dropping 2pts at Old Trafford, we feel Jose will want his side to put on a show and dispose of their West London rivals with ease.
Our vice captain is Sergio Aguero.
And in text format as promised –
Krul
Alderweireld, Moore, Baines
Di Maria, Fabregas, Sigurdsson, Tadic
Welbeck, Costa (c), Aguero (vc)
subs: Boyd, Hutton, Taylor (gk Mannone)

Ive got a feeling Ramsey will come back into the fold today, all the Arsenal hype is on Sanchez after his 2 gifts last week gave his total a massive push but Im always weary of jumping on a player when his previous gameweek was flattering. If Ramsey plays anywere near the level of last season he will probably become the focal point for Arsenal coverage in FPL terms, my advice would be watch this space for now, unless you fancy taking a punt in which case you wont go far wrong with Ramsey at Home vs Burnley.
**In response to med86ff
He was my transfer this week Ripsaw, forced somewhat by Silva’s injury. A lot of the media are tipping Ramsey to start, so decided to get him in earlier than many might.
Which 2 to start out of Moore, Wisdom and Taylor? Who to Captain? Sanchez or aguero?
I’d say keep it as it is, Everton will most likely score against Swansea, especially at home. I’d also stay on sanchez, he’s in good form and Silva is out in the city game and he is key to most of what they do.
Sanchez or Costa for captain? i took a hit to bring sanchez in so i should really put my money where my mouth is and back him.
that’s what I’m doing with Hazard!
Going by betting odds and FFFix, Costa is slightly better if you have the choice. But there’s not much in it and I think QPR are a bit underrated for this fixture. I don’t have Costa, and feel quite relaxed about that for now.
Morning guys,
Anything tinkering needed to the team?
*Any
No looks great!
Cheers mate.
Moore or Dummett instead of Wisdom?
Do you think Leicester more likely to keep a cs over the other two?
