Fantasy Football FF247 Team Gameweek 19
All 10 fixtures in one day is the way we like it. With such a quick turnaround, there is no time to mope around and contemplate destroying your team because a Frenchman decided to stick his head somewhere other than between a woman’s legs. It was a high scoring game-week for many and the FF247 site team was not about to be left out in the cold. So let’s get around the grounds and see what our starting 11 produced. In goal we had trusty Joe Hart. His hands are the best around, we particularly like it when he goes out to punch a ball, sooooo secure in the air. :whatever:
Transitioning over to our defence we put the microscope on our SUPER HIGH priced jewel Leighton Baines. Frankly the only thing we can say about our relationship with him is that we are keeping him because we think he is a good luck charm. I know it sounds a bit crazy, but we still own him so any justification for said ownership would probably sound crazier. So yeah, he is our lucky rabbit’s foot. If you have been keeping up with our site articles you will know that we said that Toby Alderweireld would score a goal. We never specified when, but we feel this is a good time to remind you all that we said it. However don’t go kneeling before us, remember we still own Baines. Our last place in defence was taken up by Taylor or Naylor(for the hip crowd) from Swansea. He was able to garner a bonus point to go along with his clean sheet. In a week with very few clean sheets, this was a welcomed inclusion to our game-week.
Moving along to our midfield. Stewart Downing failed to deliver a goal or an assist for the first time since we have owned him. To be fair to him though he was facing the vaunted Chelsea side. So he is forgiven, in part because the rest of his midfield mates picked up the slack. The Viking Eriksen scored the winner for Spurs, but more importantly scored 8 points for our side. His 61 points when playing away are tops in FPL. Our new signing David Silva was under a lot of pressure to deliver. As our transfer out of Hazard for him looked to backfire after the Belgian was able to deliver an assist in the opening fixture. However the Spanish maestro quickly turned our frown around as he not only matched the assist, but added a goal and the 3 bonus to give him 8 more points on the game-week than our departee. The last of our current fantastic four in the midfield is the dirty one, Alexis Sanchez. Who by the way was our captain. Let us just say after some of the scoring we saw during the first 9 fixtures it was a scary site to see Alexis miss a penalty. However we knew…ahhh who the hell are we kidding, we were petrified. This meant a certain plummeting down the standings if he did not deliver. He soon shook off his 5 year old type shot on his penalty and was able to deliver a goal and an assist. After the negative and positive points he was able to hand us a double figure game and when multiplied it gave us 20. Another successful captaincy if we do say so ourselves.
Bony was able to double his output from the last time we fielded him. Unfortunately he only scored 1 point last time. So once again he disappointed us, but the same can’t be said of the Charlie “Milkman” Austin. The man just continues to deliver and his impressive 10 goals in his last 9 starts coupled with his price makes him a very popular figure in the FF247 offices. Speaking of popular I bring you Diego Costa and by popular I mean most owned in his case. He might not be a crowd favourite, but his first double figure game since week 4 will alleviate some of the stench that has been circulating around him and his production. On a side note the ever well behaved Costa managed to not get a yellow card this time, call it a belated Christmas miracle.
We scored 85 points for the week. We moved up 355 places and now sit in a global position of 643rd. This is our highest ranking of the season and hopefully we can continue to climb higher.
Transfer(s) for GW18 So to confirm our transfer we have – Sold Kyle Bartley for Pablo Zabaleta We know that the transfer could have some possible rotation in his team, but we could not pass up the chance to have Zabaleta feature against Burnley for us and with the rest he’s just had, hopefully against Sunderland also on New Year’s day. We think he is worth the transfer and hope he goes forward a lot more than our dear friend Baines has been lately.
Our team in full… 
Captain Our captain this week is Charlie Austin He has earned this opportunity with his home displays and considering he gave us a hat trick of happiness last time we captained him, we felt he was the man for the job again. Please no head-butts Charlie. Our Vice Captain this week is David Silva.
The team in text format is –
Hart
Zabaleta, Hutton, Baines
Sanchez, Silva, Eriksen, Downing
Austin (c), Costa, Bony
Bench: Krul. Taylor, Alderweireld, Boyd.

Any one thinking of geting jovetic in?
No. I doubt he’s gonna get many minutes when he’s just back from injury and the matches come so quickly.
Not yet mate.. wud want him to get a few mins under his belt..
Guys transfer help needed.
Ready to take a hit if needed
Would get Skrtel in for Chambers.. Pool have really good fixtures..
but still u cant expect them to kepp cleean sheets
Agree mate.. But pool have better chances to keep a cleansheet than Arsenal and Chambers might lose his place.. U might get some one else if u dnt think pool will keep clean sheets, probably Zabaleta..
Chambers/Konchesky -> Zabaleta/Mangala, for me.
Do you guys still have more articles coming out? Or do we have to be satisfied with ”just” the FF247 team?
Raz there will be a small tips article out before the GW starts.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :dance:
Hey Raz Merry Christmas mate hope your having a good one Good score as well just hitting 6k now so need another good GW all the best mate
Cool mate. Had a decent score like you. 88. If only Sanchez scored the penalty I’d be on freaking 100 point. Aaaah well. Lol. Things should be good for our teams I think. Well my team. I’ve planned ahead. Planning to use January wildcard as late as possible.
Hey Raz I only look 3 games ahead but I have managed to get 104.4m SP I don’t thk you can go far wrong if you try & pick from top 6 clubs with a couple of rotating players
Wow mate. I’m just at a SV of 103.3m.
Feel I already have all the right players. WC will most likely be used to bring back Kun.
let em celebrate xmas mate……….
Oi, there is no such thing as third xmas day!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don’t be silly KAUMIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rant:
I m not from your part of the world…………..so dont expect me to know it
Just joking around mate. Just like I’m pulling Innit’s leg at the moment. By the way, if you do pull the leg of a rooster, pull it hard and roast it. I’m guessing whatever part of the world you’re from, we all do that. :dance:
Please…………………???????????????????
BTW who writes the articles except init,cookie,ff247???
Kop writes Kops Tips, surprisingly enough. Mito writes ad hoc stuff, he wrote the team one above in case you couldn’t tell! Potty does his comp. The capos articles are split between Calvin Clein, Gallant Pioneer, chins and bellies and Bryan Munich. Lawdogg writes our one that goes up on FFFix. Think that’s it mate but probably missed someone. Oh yeah I did – Eddy’s done the ACON week for this week and Peaky does the manager profiles which will also resume over Xmas / New Year.
hmmmm……
Thanks mate
You don’t ask for much do you?! I saw 2 people asking on Xmas Day where the GW18 team was and where Team Talk was! On Xmas Day….. :rant:
Anyway yeah there’s a mini tips out later just for you Raz 😉
BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s about time you lot got divorces and disowned your families and what not. People have (c) picks to make. Sheesh 😉
Yeah, crazy stuff. They should make them understand how important this really is. :big-lol:
You can do grocery shopping later mate.
Razor u a monkey lover?????????????
Razial…………they should include edit option as well
It’s ”Raziel”. 😉 Hihi. I like monkeys, monkey lover? Doubt it. Monkeys are my trademark. 😉
Anyway, this Raziel. In the bible you also have an archangel called Raziel, think his name means something like ”Keeper of Secrets”. 😉

hmm………….. nu begrijp ik het
Oi Kaumil. You used google translate. For some reason you got that sentence right. 😉
I figured that usually they threw around words in the wrong order. Maybe they’ve improved?
yup, is perfectly alright? i am amazed as well
Yes. Maybe you’re not from India but really from Holland? I don’t know anymore.
:beer: Maybe u can try some my language as well
Think I used google translate to learn to say “I’m the ultimate Pokemon master” in hindu. Let’s see…
“Maim parama pokemon malika hum” or something like that I think it was.
I was like 15 when I did this so it was 5 years ago. Learnt how to say that phrase in about 15 languages in total I think. I didn’t choose the nerd life, the nerd life chose me. Pika pika!
Google translate is pathetic………………dunno how I got that one right………………….
Got rid of Giroud and took a chance with benteke….. good fixtures for next 2 games…. -4 points for giroud cappo wrecked my game week…. so glad i dont have to wait a week to move on!
Yip. It’s magical, isn’t it? 😉
It’s so magical it’s almost like someone nearby has a magic hat or sumting.
Monkey Magic
Hey Guys ……. dont u think we should be having a whatsapp group?
Whatsapp has American and Russian spies in it.
So what u are trying to say?
Yep that’d do the site comments, community and views a world of good wouldn’t it?!
sorry inint… if its against policies……………
I’m only joking mate. It’s what we use to run the site. In fact we chat so much on there we forget about the actual site sometimes!
sighs…………
I thought u were about to call the sheriff
I am the one who knocks 😉
He’s from England Kaumil. A lot of bad people live there. The English that moved overseas are now called ”Muricans”. They are the ones trying to conquer the world and they also killed all the Indians. >.<
The English also send a lot of bad people to this Island ''others'' call by the name of ''Australia''. Those people are really just criminals. Don't let the fool you because they're good in sports. There is a good reason why they're good in sports. When they still lived in England, all they did was run away from the police.
BE afraid! BE VERY AFRAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :dance:
Anyway, if Innit doesn't listen to you, just roast him (like I said before).
In Australia they also killed a lot of innocent people and took their country. Aboriginals they are called. Poor aboriginals. Genetics have already not been very kind to them.
SIghs, the ENglish. Disgusting. I love the Premier League though. :dance:
What’s a whatsapp? Can I eat it?
NOpe……. u can drink it
Hm, I seriously don’t know what it is. I can figure out that it’s an app, but that’s about it.
If it is so then sorry mate……It is basically used for chatting purpose……..where u can create a group of freinds and go on gossiping
