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.

Duffy or Mee?
Anyone thinks of feels wrong to put Son on the bench….
LSD1980s
I would play Son over Simpson/Mee personally. The man’s on fire!
+1
Play son, bench Simpson as Neo says
Hello all and good luck in your GW. 1FT 0.5ITB
Am I playing the right defenders?
Fabianski
Jones Otamendi Monreal
D.Silva Hazard(C) Salah Richarlison
DCL Kane Vardy
Elliot Mee Kabasele T.Carroll
I think you’ve got it right mate. All the best
Cheers.
Yep I think so Little Red
Am I good to go? I want Tarkowski to start but I don’t think I should do so ahead of DCL
Your well set
Best of luck
Neo, this looks fine. Burnley may not be able to keep a CS this week.
Nah, play DCL. Swansea ship in a lot of goals, reason they are dead last. DCL should get at least 1 in.
Thanks all. I’ll stick with this line up.
Morning,
Have I got the right starting 11?
I am undecided on captian. Worried that Klopp may start Salah on the bench.
I would probably play Dunk over Mee purely on home advantage.
The real differentiation for you would be to captain Mahrez. As is often said here, you need to go with your instinct for this .
.
Cheers Leprechaun
If he was playing Monday night or Sunday as opposed to the early kick off today I would captain him id say
Its a weird ole game this as it pisses me off no end if my captain draws a blank early in the gw
Appreciate the suggestion on Dunk, I think ill make that switch alright
Best of luck. Hope it all works out for you.
Captain Salah, don’t see Klopp benching him as they are in real need of a win. Plus game is Sunday, had plenty days of rest.
Ya I think if any player gets rested for Liverpool it’ll be Mane
My team is struggling a bit at the moment.
Fabianski (Elliot)
Jones, Mee, Gomez (Hegazi, Mbemba)
Coutinho, Hazard, Shaqiri, Richarlison, Sterling,
Kane, Morata (DCL)
Do you have spare funds leftover mate? Your squad is decent and should pick up points over the subsequent weeks as Richarlison and Shaqiri has fantastic fixtures coming up! You might need to start switching your cheap defenders to those with better fixtures soon imo but it’s really fine otherwise
Many thanks Neo. Defensive move done
I just brought in Christensen for Hegazi and will play him over Mee
Good move
Great move. Jones and Christensen will be set for the whole season already
Thanks guys
Hey guys,
1 FT, nothing in the bank.
Thinking of getting Gross and Aguero out for DLC and Mahrez.
Should I go through with it?
I got Mahrez in this week and am between him and Salah for the armband
Given Brighton and City are at home – ok they both have tough fixtures, i dont know if id take a hit to get rid of GroB and Aguero
Id actually get rid of Loftus Cheek over GroB tbh
I actually like Aguero in your team as a differential and cover for City. If you remove him, how will you get any City cover for the upcoming weeks? I would actually save your FT and play Aguero over Loftus Cheek
Neo,Don’t think Aguero starts this gw. Growing fed up of him starting ever 2nd game now. And as for City players, I’ll have enough cash to get Sterling in so that could be my city cover.
Superstruggler,
Gross hasn’t been in the points for some time now. It’s getting harder to keep him rn. Could still upgrade RLC as you said.
As for arm band, if I get Mahrez, it would be between him and Salah for me too.
Thanks a lot guys for the suggestions
Kunal,
I would hold the FT this week. Both Aguero and Gross could easily get you good points.
okay cheers Leprechaun
