Welcome to FF247 Fantasy Football Team Gameweek 2. Well that went rather well. If you’d offered us 86pts ahead of GW1 we’d have bitten your arm off. All those weeks of research & deliberation certainly paid off!!! However it could & should have been 87pts. Late on Friday afternoon a decision was made to replace Cedric with Stephens, the words ‘I’ll do it now’ were uttered but as you’ll see we still own Cedric. But enough about Cedricgate, let’s take a quick look at where the points came from. Our defence did us proud with de Gea, Cedric & Kompany all picking up 6pts. It was however Ben Davies who turned out to be our star at the back with the Welsh international picking up an impressive 14pts. Unfortunately our midfield didn’t perform quite as well with Willian, KDB, Carroll and Ince managing just 15pts between the four of them. In fairness, we knew when we picked it that the midfield was the weakest facet of the team but we will be hoping for more, particularly from KDB, over the coming weeks. Up front, captain fantastic Romelu Lukaku did the business for us on Sunday afternoon after Firmino had gotten our game-week off to a good start on Saturday. Harry Kane was something of a disappointment but his performance suggested that he’ll be amongst the goals soon.

Our Transfer/s for GW2…
We have decided to save our transfer this week. There are no glaring issues or indeed any injuries or suspensions to deal with and we are fairly happy with our lot so we shall save it and see what next week brings with one in hand.
Our Captain… Romelu Lukaku
The only real argument against Big Rom this week was the early fixture but is that really an argument?! Yeah sure, if he blanks then it’s a long weekend but if he has the best fixture on the back of some great form then it’s not really an argument it’s more like your Mrs saying she won’t buy that dress on Saturday on the off chance that a better one appears on Sunday in the sales, only for that to not happen. And we all know how Sunday then turns out…

Yeah, underwhelming boring isn’t it! It is what is is though. Obvious capo and we don’t really need a transfer, what else can you say
As you were then, carry on with your own RMT’s or just general convos.
Good team there guys. But i liked the full view of the team(with t-shirts on)
Me too Constantine, let’s start a petition.
Who’d you play- Romeu or Carroll?
Probably Carroll, he is more likely to luck into something, however unlikely.
I heard Mendy return to training, so i’m worrying about Danilo.
Should i transfer Danilo to Jones/Blind/Maguire/Stephen Ward/Ake/Daniels/Mustafi,…?
Forster
Bertrand, Davies, Danilo
Mané (vc), De Bruyne, Ward-Prowse, Atsu, Ince
Lukaku (c), Kane
Sub: Elliot, Jay Rodriguez, Suttner, Mason
wazza
I would leave him for this week and then assess where Mendy is next week. Even if something happens and Danilo doesn’t play, Suttner will come in for you.
Wish I could have saved a FT but had Fabregas and Zaha to sort out for a hit! Great team guys and nice gw1 score. Hope Lukaku delivers the goals again.
WHo is best replacement for zaha with 1 ft 7.0?
Good morning and good, albeit difficult, question. I’d reckon:
William
Redmond / Tadic
Ramsey
Arnautovic
Best wishes.
i have same question, but have 0.5mil in bank.
i like the look of Pogba for 8.0mil (already have Willian). is it worth taking a -4 hit and trading Alderweireld to either Bertrand or Davies to get the other 0.5mil needed to trade Zaha to pogba?
Imo, a -4 hit for Pogba might be worthwhile. Perhaps posting your entire team will help with feedback / suggestions. Best wishes.
Fwiw I did something similar downgrading Kompany to Jones and upgrading Zaha to Mikki.I didn’t like having to do a -4 so early on but the 7m mid options didn’t really float my boat and I didn’t really want another cheap mid,though Mooy is interesting but I already have Mounie !
