FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team Gameweek 17
Welcome to the FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team Gameweek 17. A fourth green arrow on the spin, what is the world coming to? Maybe we are doing something right after all! 56 points in GW16 was a decent, if unspectacular, performance – the average was 43, so we’re happy and sees us rise to a ranking of 125,647. Like many, our week was dominated and made by Kane the captain who contributed 24 points. Obviously Salah helped, but then everyone has him, while Begovic’s penalty save at Palace helped him return 8pts. With 43 points out of 56 coming from three players, the less said about the rest the better, but many of you had similar outcomes and can relate. We move onto midweek GW17 with 2 free transfers and 2.1mln in the bank. The world is our oyster, surely…..
Last weeks ‘result’…
This week’s transfer(s) – we have sold Mustafi and bought Otamendi.
With Mustafi suffering the Arsenal curse (ie ‘he may be back next week’….7 months later, we’re still waiting…) we have dumped the German unceremoniously and bought City’s Otamendi who appears to be more likely to score than keep a clean sheet right now! We’re anything but greedy and if he carries on scoring then great – the Argentinian has scored four goals already this season and two in his last two games. Bit of a no-brainer transfer really.
It was also suggested that we sold Niasse and bought Charlie Austin – despite Austin’s decent form of late, one look at Southampton’s next 5 fixtures very quickly extinguished that idea. We may deal with Niasse next week with Calvert-Lewin the early suggested replacement. But that’s for GW18 – for now let’s deal with GW17 and celebrate an Otamendi hat-trick!
The team in full
And so this is how we line up ahead of GW17…
Our Captain is Harry Kane
After his brace at the weekend we have been sucked in by the troll and decided to captain him again. No-one else was really suggested, despite us also owning Salah and Hazard. So, it’s over to you Harry lad – keep on the scoring and we’ll be calling you ‘One of Our Own’ before long. Our vice-captain is Eden Hazard.

Afternoon all.
The morata injury news is a pain. With Mee a doubt too & sterling a possible rotation risk i could be struggling. Does anyone know how serious it is?
My cover is bassically Marriapa, francis & T Carroll & i have 0.8 ITB
I would get 10.5 back for him if i sell so can afford an 11.3 striker.
Would you take a – 4 to swap him out? & if so who for Lukaku? Firmino?
Cheers
You just talked me into taking a hit for Firmino, so I reckon you should do that 😉
Lads just got back from work
What should I do with morata?
I’ve just taken a hit to ditch him for Firmino.
I might do the same, could Lacazette be an option?
Think there’s more chance of Liverpool going rampant at a moments notice. I’d do Firmino.
Cheers init Firmino it is for a -4 😉
Could be, but more of a punt I reckon. He’s hardly looked good from what I’ve seen. Plus I fancy Liverpool’s fixtures over Arsenal’s, and I generally fancy Liverpool to score more goals than arsenal.
Hi all, got 1FT and 1.4 itb, thoughts? think im all set?
Think you need a defender there Macca.
Zeegelaar to Monreal maybe?
yeah, definitely an option looking at it..arsenal the best route to go? is jones a shout or?
Yeah you could of course also go United and either Jones or Smalling.
thanks GP, good luck!
Hey guys,
Team below. Don’t have any FTs and, with Morata apparently just being tired, I can’t bring myself to forfeit four points to take him out when there are favourable fixtures after this gameweek for Chelsea. Especially as I’ve built quite a bit of value in him.
It’s a weird formation, but am I set?
Cheers and best of luck to you all!
If that’s your final decision then yes. You’ll probably get Ayew on for Gomez anyway.
And many thanks again for the new Team News pic as showcased above for the night matches. Although you do seem to have confused poor Matt who thinks you’re some sort of genius who’s invented heat and light sensitive web pictures :hippo:
Cheers, Init! Haha, yeah – it does seem to have blown his mind!
I genuinely think he’s googling it as we speak
if you’re set, go for it! You never know, ayew could get an assist or something.
if you take a hit, that player has to get more than 6 points to be worth it – it’s high risk.
fellas, dwight gayle or jessie lingard?? 😮
that is all
Lingard
How’s our dissertation coming along?!
Goooood!! My teacher is marking my second draft at the moment – as soon as I’ve got the finished product I’ll send it over.
Of course my main focus is to get marks but I stand by my analysis for sure! The questionnaire was really interesting especially.
Can’t thank you enough for your help!!
