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…

vardy or Lukaku as Cap ?
wyle
These things are personal calls really.
I think Lukaku will be the popular choice – did you captain him last week? If so, you could be loyal to him
Vardy looked very sharp last Friday so I get that one too.
i went with KDB last week but was lucky enough to have Vardy and Lukaku in the team
im sure by ignoring KDB this week he will do wonders
so cant complain
Hi All,
Used my FT to bring in Hegazi, am I all set to go? Bit wary of leaving Davies in the bench!
It’s a tough one Benny but I think I would use Davies over Stephens just because of the overlapping attacking play I saw against Newcastle.
I have a similar defensive decision to make, and I’m benching Hegazi.
i shouldnt say anything my picks are usually wrong, but i would go as it is
Cheers lads. That’s an interesting one GP, food for thought. Not sure the Hammers can score tho
Good day! Great article as always.
I’ve ditched Kane! Yes, I did it.
I’ve made a couple of changes to the squad and formation. Taking Lukaku as the lone striker, but with a beefy midfield and attacking defense. The bench is horrible, as was before the transfers, so I am hoping a couple of cheap alternatives show themselves in the coming weeks.
Any advice other than I should have maybe asked for advice before I pulled these moves?
Shrizzine
Nice team, brave going one upfront tho,
I’m guessing your on a wildcard,
If so I’d probly get Vardy in for one of Mikki / Salah or even one of your Spurs mids?
Or if u can turn Alonso into another decent striker?
Oooo I do like that team!!
Not sure I’d have the bottle to play 1 up front every week
:oogle:
Is it worth starting Lindelof instead of Danilo on the off chance he plays? or is a 5 minute cameo leaving Danilo on the bench likely to ruin that plan?
I don’t see Lindelof starting SAF
Good to go? I plan on rolling the FT. Correct decision to bench Hegazi?
Looks good Banjo, best of luck mate. How you doing?
Cheers Cookie. I’m good thanks mate. Home from hospital now. Even had my first independent crap today, which my Mrs is quite pleased about!
Ah what a shame mate, still must of been nice having someone else wipe for a change
Good news you’re home mate
I was starting to get used to it 😉
Yeah I bet you were – people pay good money for that!!
Hey guys,
Am I good to go with this starting 11? Or would you play Mee instead?
Thanks!
Beno, I’d probably start as you have it but make Mee your first sub.
