FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team Gameweek 9
Welcome to the FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team Gameweek 9. Not exactly a classic week for us the last one! 8 of our players scored 4 points or less. Our top scorer was Sterling, who was actually our transfer in last time, so at least we had some modicum of satisfaction in a job well done in that respect. That he scored almost a third of our points was either simply genius or a bad reflection on the other two thirds! Almost certainly the latter. That we left good old Tom Carroll and his 8 points on the bench, and that he would have been our 3rd top scorer had we not, was simply either dumb or a bad reflection on the other 8 players! Almost certainly the latter.
Captain Kane bombed but obviously in a week when most players rued the same fate it didn’t really matter. We managed 47 points in total, which was 6 above the average and somehow got a small green arrow as we rose a whole 88 places to 267,070. Not exactly where we want or expect to be but we will plug on and try to improve.
Just a little mention for Alonso as well, who once again excelled himself with a 1 point return… He’s still living on the back of that Spurs 16 point game. With that included he averages 4 points a game. Take that outlier out and it drops to 2.4 points per game. Just saying 😉
Last weeks ‘result’, if you can call it that…
This weeks transfer(s)…
BOUGHT : Jesus and Silva
SOLD : Lacazette and Alli
We just couldn’t resist buying into the City triple attack. Or indeed bring ourselves to actually play our wildcard which we have been promising to do so for weeks now! In our defence we did plan to do it and it was the agreed move. And then we played around with a couple of line-ups and quickly realised that they weren’t actually much better than what we had already, albeit with a small hit to accommodate Jesus and Silva.
We will almost certainly play it next week… Look, who are we kidding here. We will almost certainly revisit the notion of doing so, that’s the only guarantee we can give.
As for the purchases themselves they need little explanation right now. The only concern is of course the usual Pep rotation but we are happy to take that chance and see what happens.
The team in full
And so this is how we line up ahead of GW9…
Our Captain is Raheem Sterling
Now that’s not a phrase we thought we would utter any time soon! He’s in red hot form though with 8 goals in all competitions so far. He was subbed early too in the Napoli game so he may be the surest of starters at the weekend. The way City are knocking teams aside it’s hard to argue against any of their players right now, it may just be a case of finding which one plays the most!

Anyone know what time the City presser is? Very keen to hear whether Pep gives an indication to Kun minutes.
Banjo, awaiting the official timing but 99/100 its somewhere between 1-2pm
Cheers Cookie… Kun is 99% of the way in to my team, just waiting on Pep.
Sounds good Banjo – his ribs do concern me – if he plays vs Burnley or Napoli I would be instructing my defenders to rough up those ribs to see how bad they are!
If the injury was / is genuine he can’t be right. But what do I know?! I guess Pep wouldn’t name him in the squad if he wasn’t confident but something doesn’t add up.
1.30pm
Should I save the Free transfer or is any transfer needed for my team?
Save it, team looks good to go.
WC is active…
A bit worried about Jones and Davies but if I sell them i won’t afford to get them back…
Trippel up on city attackers and chance Mihki to sané? Can’t afford silva unless i chance aguero to Jesus.
And Is Agüero worth the extra money over Jesus? Cos Slayer has told me that Jesus saves…
Change… damn autocorrect….
Allan,
see what Pep says about Kun today. I’m not convinced how fit he is, despite him being in the squad for the last two. He hasn’t come off the bench in either match. So he is obviously resting those ribs. Unless Pep says he will defo play I would plump for Jesus.
Go Mikhi to Silva.
Re Davies – I wouldn’t have him in a WC team right now – with Rose back there will be rotation for sure and there will be weeks when you’ll be gutted he doesn’t play or get a late cameo 1pter.
Tripper instead?
Keeping aguero for the moment just to make sure I can afford him later on, but he might turn into Jesus…
Trippier has the same issue with Aurier!! If you’re happy with the odd week of discontent then go with a Spurs full back, personally for theor price I’d want them guarateed to play.
They cost 6,0 and I can’t afford that…
What about Monreal instead then?
Prefer Stones at 5.6 to be honest
Want to have 2 playing defenders in good teams and 2 cheap defenders that i rotate depending on fixtures. There’s not a obvious pick here. Will think about it…,
Thanks mate!
that makes 4 city players…
yeah good point. Up to you then to make a call – Monreal is more nailed but in a worse defence and is less attacking than Trippier or Davies. In terms of fixtures, both teams have mixed short term matches. Maybe even someone like Cresswell is worth a look? Better fixtures (in a worse team), but he attacks well and is nailed on to play with no danger of rotation.

I’ll never forget there used to be a church in Newcastle with “Jesus saves” written outside. I drove past once and someone wrote underneath “…but Shearer scores with the rebound”.
Haha, my kind of church ?

Morning everyone.
FF247 team looks ridiculously strong this week. Expecting a big points return.
I’ve got 0.3 ITB 1FT. Was thinking Davies to Jones providing Jose says he’s ok. Any smarter moves I should think about?
Morning Milburn,
that move makes sense to me sir, as you say, providing Jones is ok.
Cheers Cook.
