FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team Gameweek 18
Welcome to the FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team Gameweek 18. The good thing about this time of the season is that the game-weeks come thick and fast and there isn’t much time to ponder on a rubbish week. We scored 45pts in GW17, below average, dropped in rank to almost 150k. Not what we were hoping for, but let’s be honest we’ve been here before and undoubtedly, we’ll venture there again soon enough.
The highlights were obviously few and far between – clean sheets for new recruit Otamendi and a sneaky one for Christensen saw that Lady Luck did actually smile on us briefly. An assist for Richarlison was followed by an injury to the midfielder and it was left to Raheeeeem to (relatively speaking) save us with a couple of assists vs Swansea.
Captain Kane hit the post, which was more than Salah or Firmino did, while Hazard was maybe unfortunate not to contribute to Chelsea’s win at Huddersfield.
Oh well, these weeks happen – let’s move on, we have some cash in the bank and 2fts if we’re feeling particularly cut-throat.
Last weeks ‘result’…
This week’s transfer(s) – we have sold Firmino & Ruben Loftus-Cheek and bought Rooney & Shaqiri.
We used to be indecisive, but we aren’t sure now…
We could have cut this 5 ways and come up with 10 different scenarios.
At least.
We had DCL and Jones in at one point.
We had Lowton in and out of the exit cab so many times with no real direction that the poor lad is probably spinning around Glasgow city centre right about now.
Dunk got transfered out that many times he was subject to a murder investigation at one point. Seriously. The definition of dunking vs drowning was actually debated. Seriously. The unanimous conclusion was that anyone associated with IT should be drowned, not just dunked.
Quite how we ended up on Rooney and Shaq is anybody’s guess.
Or was it?
No.
The consensus seemed to be for DCL and Jones but then someone uttered the words “what does your gut say?”. Red rag to a bull that and Rooney was in sharpish. And he had Shaq Attack in his back pocket which was a bonus!
The team in full
And so this is how we line up ahead of GW18…
Our Captain is Eden Hazard
Hazard got all the votes. Despite not having returned an FPL point total above 3 for 2 weeks. Patience we have.
Our vice captain rarely gets a mention but it will this time for comedy value alone! For the record it is Harry Kane, away at City, for reasons only known to those who voted for that.
But when questioned “Why not Rooney?”, a certain voter, maybe of a furry disposition, replied “Rooney is the new Yaya”.
That may well be quoted on twitter on Monday night.

Thanks for keeping us posted during this busy period chaps. Any ideas on what i should do here? I have 2ft 0.3 in the bank but really dont know whether its worth making a transfer this week!
Hi DB,
Not much stands our really. Perhaps change Elliot to a playing GK
Stands out
Unfortunately selling Elliot leaves me with 4.3 which isnt enough for a playing keeper!
Im really struggling here guys, there must be sometging worthwhile or shall i just lose the transfer?
You can actually go Austin to DCL (like what most players have) and use the spare funds for Mustafi to Ota/Kola? Surman to Shaqiri/Richarl, if possible (if you also sell Ward in the coming weeks?), would be great also
Thanks Neo. Austin rotates well with surman so i dont think i could own one without the other.
Apropos of nothing, really. Here’s my lot for this week.
Init. Nothing like a Monday night capt’n! Nice looking squad. Good luck this GW.
Thanks G-Man, indeed! And good luck yourself.
Looks good Init.
Is it madness to have both Sané and Son on the bench?!?
Allan, in the midweek matches there were 9 clean sheets, so I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad idea. Could be brilliant!
I always plays with three defenders and that hasn’t worked to well so maybe it’s time for some new ideas…
Feels wrong tho 😉
Here is how my wife’s team is set up every week and her ranking. Also, she always gives the armband to a defender. Seems to be working a charm for her and she’s killing me!!!
Good team!
Here is my team for GW. I have 1FT and 0.7. Shoud I upgrade goalkeeper? Thanks
1. Elliot to Gomes
2. Elliot to Adrian
3. Foster to Pickford
4. Foster to Butland
——–
Foster
Kenny, Christensen, Duff
Salah (c), Choupo-Moting, Sané, Richarlison
Aguero, Kane, Firminho
Sub: Elliot, Gomez, Vertonghen, Carroll
Wazza, it doesn’t solve your problem, but I’d add Lossl to the list. He’s got a ridiculous run of potential clean sheets coming up.
Loss is a good shout
Morning all,
Who should bench? What order?
Speroni Hennessey
Mee Christensen Kolasinac Duffy Mariappa
Sterling Richarilson Hazard Salah GroB
Aguero Firmino DCL
Thanks
If it was me I would probably bench Mariappa, GroB, Dunk and in that order. You could have GroB as first sub but Mariappa is playing Huddersfield hense him first
Correction thats Duffy not Dunk sorry…. same outcome!
That’s a tricky one PeterP.
A case can be made to drop Duffy and Mariappa but they are both at home against potentially easier opposition.
Maybe Mee, DCL and one of those two.
Thinking of changing Loftus to Doucoure… But abit skeptical. 0.9 ITB and 1 FT.
7,
I would hold the FT to give more options next week.
