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…

I Just Read that spurs agreed with Ajax to buy Sanchez (Strong Columbian Centre Back) for 45m. Any idea Who Sanchez will replace in the spurs defense ?
I’m not sure he will replace anyone. As things stand 42£ is what you pay for a bench player!
Seriously though I think this means Poch will keep the 3-5-2 so he’ll just slot in as one of the CB with Davies and Trippier on the wings, Dier/Dembele in the middle and Erik/Alli/Kane in the advanced roles. Dembele can also be Erik to accommodate Son up front when needed.
Vertonghen is 30. So may guess is they are gearing up his replace meant. I know Alderweireld is getting on too but he’s still really good
Oh cmon!! 30 is a totally normal age for a CB.
Wow. So 45m for a bemch player; what a waste of talent. He could better stay at Ajax then (apart from a higher salary sitting on the bench ?)
I never said it was happening this season. He will rotate them for this season and maybe next season. Try and tell me 32 is normal for a cb…
Start hegazi or mee?
Mee.
I’d say both. Depending on the rear of your team. I don’t have hegazi but I am starting me.
Hazard played in a friendly against QPR, may be back earlier than we thought though sky says not this weekend.
Morning all, stick or twist? 1FT, nothing in the bank.
I’d quite like to get Lokilo into the starting line-up, but all of them have strong fixtures/are indispensable.
I’d stick and have 2 FT for next week, get a better idea of the form of players after this weekend.
Cheers Figgy.
With Liverpool’s form, I’d bench Van A. Poop will put 2 past them for sure
They will, but they are also terrible defensively and he’s playing wide in a 5 man midfield.
How injured is zaha anyone?
“Wilfried Zaha is expected to be out for four weeks due to an injury sustained in Crystal Palace’s opening day defeat to Huddersfield Town.” The Guards
Other sites saying much the same. Loads of ppl on this site have changed him already. William and Ramsey been the main 2 replacements
That was taken from the Guardian
Which to do
A . Fab Ramsay
Zaha Salah
Firmino Mounie
B. Fab albrighto
Zaha mkhartaryn
C. Take out kane fab and zaha for mkihartaryn ericksen and a striker around £8.8 maybe vardy or should I be keeping kane
I think lane will come good sooner or later. He should have scored last weekend.
In terms of changes fab is back on the 27th so he’s only missing 1 game. Zaha could be out for 4. Maybe zaha to Ramsey and try bench Fab? I hate taking hits this early.
But your other options look good if you want to gamble big pay offs
kickers
If you can afford Zaha to Ramsey I would do that one
Kane would stay if it were me.
Cheers
Gone with zaha to Ramsay. Maybe too early to take some hits
