Fantasy Football FF247 Team Gameweek 15

It’s a happy and chipper FF247 camp that brings you this week’s Team review and plans for the future as we had a great GW14. We scored 82pts in total (net 78 with the 4pt hit), which produced another set of green arrows for the team, while our two transfers, Alexis Sanchez and Stewart Downing, paid immediately for the hit. We massively beat the average score of 49pts and, like many did this week, we got our captain correct! It really was another Sergio Aguero masterclass which made our week as his two goals, assist and maximum bonus points in City’s 4-1 win at Sunderland returned 32pts. Who needs Diego Costa eh?! Well we do this week, but we’ll come to that later. The midweek gameweek had a good feel from the beginning as clean sheets from Swansea’s Neil Taylor and Kyle Bartley and an assist from Downing allowed us to forgive Charlie Austin and Gylfi Sigurdsson their “week off” from delivering. However, it is some decisions that you take that really make you happy. Unlike many we decided to start Burnley’s George Boyd and boy did he justify our faith! A first half goal vs Newcastle coupled with two bonus points were very satisfying and gave us 31pts from day 1 as we looked then to Wednesday evening.
Everton, Leighton Baines…what went wrong? Home to Hull, we are talking clean sheet and an assist at least surely? No clean sheet, no assist…and a booking. 1 solitary point. Very disappointing. But of course it was to get better. Chelsea’s 3rd clean sheet in a row brought us a welcome 6pts from keeper Thibaut Courtois, although Cesc Fabregas failed to contribute – but at least he didn’t pick up his 5th yellow card. New signing Alexis Sanchez delivered an instant return as his late, late winner at home to Southampton brought a smile to our faces and 9pts to his new home. He’s settled in well. And then we had Aguero – what can you say about the man? That’s 14 goals for the season now and he has become the first player to reach 100pts for the season. Captain fantastic – the lad is on fire! Thanks Sergio.
We climbed 587 places and now sit in a global position of 1,395 – threatening the top 1,000 and hopefully our careful planning over the next few weeks will see that happen.

Transfer for GW15
We have decided to hold our transfer this week, thus giving us 2fts for GW16, which we believe will be very useful and we don’t feel a need to make any moves with our team, despite Tim Krul being injured, Neil Taylor suspended and there being a doubt over Toby Alderweireld.

Our team in full…
The team pretty much selects itself this week. Courtois obviously continues in goal as Chelsea travel to Newcastle, who are still struggling with a number of injuries. Alan Hutton comes into the starting XI as Villa host Leicester, while Leighton Baines takes the tough trip to City, who despite firing going forward are still suspect at the back and have a couple of injuries. Baines’ attacking prowess makes him an auto pick. Kyle Bartley takes the tough trip to West Ham, but with Alderweireld hosting Man Utd, if he’s fit, and Neil Taylor suspended, then Bartley remains in the team.
In midfield, we are giving the heroic George Boyd a rest and we’ll play Alexis, Fabregas, Siggy and Downing.
Up front we have the returning Diego Costa to come in and after a week’s rest, we will unleash him on the Toon defence. Kun is home to Everton while Charlie Austin faces Burnley at home….and we all know how much better Rangers are at home than away.
So it’s back to 3-4-3, with young Boyd first sub….just in case!

Captain

Our captain this week is Sergio Aguero

Well, that’s not a surprise is it?!!! The world and his wife and probably also his dog will be captaining Aguero this week and rightly so. Seven goals in his last four home matches tells you all you need to know.
Our vice captain is Charlie Austin.

The team in text format is –

Courtois
Bartley, Hutton, Baines
Sanchez, Fabregas, Sigurdsson, Downing
Costa, Austin (vc), Aguero (c)

Bench: Krul. Boyd, Alderweireld, Taylor
