FF247 Member Profiles

Who are you? Who are you? Fantasy manager profiles Part 5

Who are you? Who are you? Fantasy manager profiles Part 5

Here at FF247 towers we’ve often wondered what driving forces hide behind a comment or a rate my team reply, do we really know the mindset and the persona of the people we are conversing with?! To find the answers to these questions we have lured some regulars from out of their caves and got them to endure a simple Q&A session.
Hopefully this will help us to uncover whether each member can be viewed as a ‘fellow sports enthusiast’, ‘colleague’, ‘fantasy friend’, ‘internet troll’ or indeed ‘sociopath’! Let’s take a look inside the minds of our latest two ‘victims’ then and see whether, hiding behind the cute monkey gravatars, lurks a sadistic, megalomaniacal, psychotic keyboard warrior. Or just a normal guy or gal who likes to play fantasy football…
We will add a disclaimer here – we have resolved to not edit what is sent in at all. What you see is what you (we) get. And no Bench, we aren’t just saying that because it’s your turn 😉
Next up to the examination table are Bench and Monty(Caz Daz).

    If Costa is not fit for the weekend, would it be better to bring in Sanchez or Hazard for Sterling? bearing in mind that I do have Fabregas already and no Asrenal cover.

    Going to wait on Siggy injury but do you think Pelle is worth a -4 pt hit? Would swap out Cork/Ulloa for Cattermole/Pelle. Next week I think I’ll likely bring Costa back into the fold.

      Hard one, you’ll be taking a hit for just 1 player. When I take a hit I atleast want to upgrade 2 players. If you look at this GW, Pelle just got the 1 assist and I think 5 points in the end. You’d have 1 point less if you took him in for Ulloa. I really don’t know in this case. Also keep in mind Soton just have 3 good fixtures left.

      • mrollinsiv says:

        Good points, I’ll look into just upgrading Ulloa then and have to start phasing out some of the southampton players once they get into tough schedule. Probably give them at least 1 week to see if they can handle the tougher matches.
