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.

Hi all, site team looks good this week, good moves.
Does anyone care to look at my shabby lot for this week, having a mare but would be good if anyone can check over my team for this week.
Cheers
Nothing shabby there at all. Good luck!
Bongo,
Pretty solid team.
I’d probably start Naughton over Daniels. Think Liverpool might score a few more than Everton. But that comes down to personal preference.
Rest looks good, hazard caption might work big time. Good luck
Looks good to go Bongo, good luck!
Cheers Innit/Kunal/banjo
Kunal, yeah that’s not a bad call mate, i suppose my thinking was both teams will probably concede but with Daniels the attacking returns are more likely, like you say tho it may come down to who concedes less
Cheers again and good luck to you all
I’m one more bad week away from throwing my toys out the pram. Am I all set for another rank plummeting week? I’ve got a few quid in the bank if there’s anything worth hitting for.
Think your good to go
Thanks mate. How about yourself?
Banjo, just need to make final call on Salah vs Mahrez for the armband and Dunk vs Mee for starting spot
Whats your thoughts on those
I think I’d go with Salah & Mee.
Team looks sound on paper, similar to mine so I know your frustration.
You don’t need me to tell you about your bench but I don’t think a hit Is needed this week unless you feel someone will get a rest. Might be worth looking at a replacement for Ramsey but if he is only going to be cover for your starting 11 then it isn’t really worth it imo.
Good luck and pray for no rotation again
Banjo,
It looks like a decent team. What is your plan with Ramsey? I had him and sold.
Cheers guys. Rambo needs to go. I was thinking of waiting on Pogba, but might need a quicker fix. I could get David Silva, but would have not much left to improve elsewhere.
Keep the faith mate because you’ve got a good looking team. I would start upgrading your defenders and Ramsey could possibly be traded for Zaha. I’ve seen him for many weeks and he looks game-changing – if only I followed my guts to bring him in weeks ago!
Morning lads. Need a hand with this don’t think this is the best lineup but I can’t decide what is.
Christensen and Chelsea I fancy for a clean sheet. I would take out Gomez .
Hey Matt,
I would put Christensen and Groß in for Mee and Gomez.
+1
Cheers lads I was thinking Christensen to Gomez. I’m not sure about GroS though but I’ll put him 1st on my bench so if Richardlison doesn’t play it’s a straight swap.
Morning all
Team for GW18, good to go?
Your well set
Looks like the best choice Mitro.
I am sure you know the bench needs some changes but not critical this week.
Good afternoon all, right now my OR is 1.2M+, any suggestion regarding the team to gain rank would be very much appreciated
I’d probably leave it as the second picture hochoki
Hey lads. Good to go here? Taking a stab at long at the back but hope it pays off?
