FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team Gameweek 24
Welcome to the FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team Gameweek 24. Hmmm… A 4th consecutive red arrow. Our worst run of the season. Crap. This is all despite picking up 66pts which was actually 8pts better than the average. It’s tough at the top. Although we’re not anywhere near the top! We’ve dropped outside the top 250k.
Last week’s transfers didn’t quite go to plan. Jesse picked up a rather pathetic 2pts while despite the Liverpool v City game being a 7 goal thriller, Aguero registered just 5pts. However, Kun does face Newcastle this week so he will have the opportunity to make up for it.
Elsewhere, our defence racked up a pitiful 5pts. Our star performer was Arnautovic with 16pts. Salah did what Salah does. And Harry delivered as our captain.
But that’s enough woe for one week… onto this week’s comeback!!
Last weeks result…
This weeks transfer…
We had 1 FT and £0.4m in the bank. After this weeks votes were cast we now have 2 FT’s and £0.4m in the bank for next week! You were warned it was going to be a boring article on the previous chats and we always aim to deliver!
It just lands like this sometimes and we are but normal fantasy managers after all and we aren’t going to make transfers just for the sake it and certainly not just to make an article more ‘interesting’. We play it for real, just as you do, and so if it makes sense to save, then we save.
Looking at our team the keeper slot is actually the only real weak spot this week, but even then the only real alternative was to bring in Pickford for Begovic and there’s no guarantee that works out, plus the other two were picked specifically because they rotate nicely. Apart from this week!
The team in full
Our captain is Mo Salah
And we own Kane and Aguero…
Ok, so maybe not as boring as we made out then.
To say this was split and close would probably be an understatement.
This is how we roll – 5 people vote. Each votes on a Captain and a Vice-Captain.
Out of 10 such votes there were, as you’d expect, only 3 candidates and they got in total-
Salah – 4 votes
Kane – 4 votes
Kun – 2 votes
Crucially Salah got 3 Captain ones, to Kun’s 2 and Kane surprisingly got zero. Kane was the most picked Vice (4 times).
It’s probably a similarly close decision to that which many will make a last minute call on before the deadline. There are stats aplenty, and many have been quoted on site last night and in the articles prior to this, to suggest which one is the best pick. That’s not our job, our Captain Picks article is there for that. Our job is simply to tell you what our panel of 5 landed on after their guts were asked how they were feeling. They felt Mo Salah…

How does this team look? RLC will no doubt be benched but have I got replacements in the right order? Currently have Aguero captain but can decide whether to switch to Salah or even Kane.
Look well set there
Thanks Smash! Are you home now?
Yeah I’m home now. Looking forward to watching some football as think I can make it out of bed
That’s good news mate! Great excuse to take it easy in front of the footy!
going with kane for captain, smash?
Morning you lovely lot!
Everybody good to go!?
Brought in Pickford with my FT.
I’m still pondering captain and Wilson in for -4 and play him over Ogbonna?
Rosco,
I think Wilson will be a better option across the next six then DCL will be so I’d look beyond just today. He scored a hat-trick against west ham away last season.
Have I tempted you enough yet?
In all seriousness I would consider that one.
I dont think the -4 is worth it given Ogbonna could well get a CS. aybe consider the order of the bench though. Suspect Kane or Salah will be top choice captains
Hey Rosco, Wilson has been on fire but I’m curious what happens when Defoe and King are back, plus there’s also Afobe. Will he still be nailed on when all their strikers are available? I’m not 100% sure about that. You could consider getting Ibe for RLC who is out long term and get some attacking cover there. His stats are phenomenal in the last 5 GWs and Howe has been bigging him up lately. Best of luck whatever you decide!
any ideas how to bring in Salah please lads?
ederson (Elliot)
jones Christensen Alonso (Gomez, masuaku)
son pogba sterling lingard arnoutavic
kane firmino (quaner)
0.1 in bank, 1 free transfer (don’t mind taking hits as I’m 50 points clear in mini league)
currently 36k overall but I feel to keep going I need Salah.
please help.
i would say go for salah next week. take out son and downgrade a defender to bring him in.
ok thanks, that was my thinking also (to leave it this week) might have to lose Alonso tho.
even though i dont have alonso, i would have him in my lineup over azpi. downgrade azpi
I would sell Pogba and Son for Salah and 1 cheaper midfielders.
thankyou, looked at this but could only afford doucoure.
pogba & son or salah & doucoure?
CFR
I think you need Salah too and I personally took a -4 to get him back in this week.
Son & Pogba to Salah and Albrighton?
Alonso & Pogba to Salah and Evans (WBA) or Martina (Everton)?
I would go with the midfield one.
ok thanks for your response GP. I will take a look at albrighton.
I would try find a way to keep Pogba. Son / Lingard/Christensen or Ederson to make way in order to do so
thankyou dreamers, would only leave 7.2 for a keeper & defender.
Anyone else going with Aguero captain?
Yup
I currently have it on Augero but not sure whether to go with Salah or Kane. Both had better games against current opposition last time out and both in better form!
(K)un
I dont think the -4 is worth it given Ogbonna could well get a CS. aybe consider the order of the bench though. Suspect Kane or Salah will be top choice captains
Think Kenny should be playing but who to bench instead of him ?
Bench Ogbonna
Thats my thinking Smasher, cheers.
Richarlson as I have done!
+1 for Kenny ahead of Ogbonna, Elle. WBA don’t have Wilson or Ibe! I think that WH/Bou match is going to be full of goals, wouldn’t want a defender in that one.
Only really Ogbonna but it could go either way. Wouldn’t worry too much about that one.
Cheers GP, could bench Lingard and play both defenders.
Ogbannna maybe – but I’d have Ogbanna first one bench. DCL will only come off bench
