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)

Hi guys, am I good to go or any last minute suggestions? 1 FT with 0.1b
Cheers!
Looks good to me, only thing I’d look at next weekend is defence, not sure what van aanholt offers given Sunderland’s current form
yea im thinking to bring someone in the defence, but i have to transfer someone else from other position. any suggestion? cheers btw
Seraf I’d be tempted with Wisdom over Van Aanholt as Sunderland have just been woeful recently, but that’s only if I’m really trying to make a transfer. Poyet could have rallied them and they’ll bounce back this GW, and tbh I’d probably look at doing a transfer like that when I had two FTs instead, so my advice is hang onto the FT for now. Good team.
Calvin great suggestion as always. Yea i think i will hold my FT for next week, cheers!
Who is everyone capping this weekend? Have it on Costa currently but he is just coming back from injury so I’m unsure
I’m not risking Costa, all aboard the Welbeck captain train, choo choo!
Calvin
Welbeck sounds good, arsenal playing at home Burnley and he has a certain in form sanchez behind him, he should do well. If not Costa who would you captain out of this lot?
Sorry for the repost but is Henderson worth keeping? If not, who can I get for 7.2 if I transfer him out?
Need some advice and a captain
Cheers
If you really wanted to take him out chadli and barkely are good options. If Barkley gets going again he could turn out to be a very good transfers
See your previous post in case you don’t look there
You read my mind…
Think I’m set this GW. What do u think?
I concur Razor.
You good!
2FT 1.3 in the bank
Krul
Baines Clyne Moore
Fabregas Di Maria Gerrard Siggy
Costa Pelle Welbeck
Subs Mannone Boyd Taylor Wilson
Gerrard Out?
I’d say so JMD. It’s a shame you’d be just shy of getting Sanchez in for him, but you could downgrade someone with your other FT if you did want Sanchez, e.g. Clyne to Alderweireld.
Other options are Hazard or a temporary move to Tadic/Mane ahead of a possible punt on Walcott in a GW or two.
With a FT available, I would take the risk on Ramsey or even Walcott for this week; you have to think Arsenal will get a few against Burnley at home. I’m abandoning the Liverpool ship, at least until Sturridge gets back…
After much deliberation I decided to do nothing.
Just wanted to check there hasn’t been any last minute injury news about my team…
Nope, the only thing I would say is maybe Welbeck captain, but it’s your choice, obviously 😉
Not to my knowledge EBC, nice team. Check Premier Injuries site if you want to double-check though.
