FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team Gameweek 25
Welcome to the FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team Gameweek 25. A green arrow! Albeit a very small one. But after 4 straight red ones we shall take it. We rose a measly 4k in the rankings and now sit in 252,220th place. Hardly ideal but we will keep plugging away. We scored 55 last time out, 5 above the average. We were hoping for more of a rise given that we profited from that Kun hat-trick, if only we had captained him… and so said many. We instead captained Kane and rued his last minute sitter… and so said many. Our defence were the main culprits in us not hitting any real heights as they brought home just 7 points between the 4 of them. Despite at least 3 of them having fixtures in which you would have almost expected a clean sheet. Christensen was the outlier as Chelsea did indeed deliver said clean sheet but the clown once again managed to get himself subbed off before the crucial 60 minute mark… and so said many. And we had that other clown Niasse sat 3rd on our bench and he only came on and scored didn’t he! We were probably alone on that one.
And so on to GW25. Which was looking all rosy and simple until the Arnie news came out and then Masuaku decided to go all Frank Rijkaard on us. Oh dear, we have some tough decisions ahead and possibly a hit on the horizon… and so said many!
Last weeks result…
This weeks transfers… Masuaku, Arnautovic and (gulp) Kane to Alonso, Pogba and Firmino
We’ve only gone and played a mini wildcard! We had a couple of free transfers to play with but little by way of cash and we were struggling to find any real decent alternatives to Spit The Dog and his mate Arnie. And so we are taking advantage of Kane’s little run of tough games to improve the overall balance and it enables us to bring in some quality replacements rather than sub standard ones who we didn’t really want.
The elephant in the corner is of course leaving ourselves short in terms of a straight swap of Kun back to Kane come GW28. We will deal with this in due course though with a downgrade somewhere. Knowing FPL some injury or suspension will probably force that issue anyway.

Which of these is best?
1) Christensen & Shaqiri (with 0.6 ITB)
2) Alonso & Milivojevic (with 0.1 ITB)
Both will have to play every week, as the midfield includes Carroll, and the bench is pretty weak.
Banjo,
Just to give you another option (or headache) how about:
3) Azpi and Ryan Fraser
I don’t need more options Robbo 😉 Thanks though. I currently own Christensen, and I’m just deliberating whether it’s worth crippling the midfield to switch to Alonso. Azpi’s attacking potential is so much less that I don’t think I’d bother for him. Do you reckon it’s worth moving for Alonso? Or sticking with Christensen?
I do think Milo would cripple your midfield a bit too much given the position he plays – if you can afford Alonso and Fraser then that would be less crippling than Milo. If not then on balance I’d go with Christensen and Shakira
Alonso and Mili.
Alonso’s attacking potential just edges it imo.
Banjo i think Cahill has been passed fit so surely Christensen becomes a rotation worry again.Think im ditching him next week.
2 for me Banjo
Alonso has the attacking threat to make up for a weaker Mid
My GK situation is a shambles at the moment but really is it just time to swap Kane for Kun this week and be done with it?
I’d go Arnie to D. Silva, considering your bank. You need players on the pitch. Or go for a hit. Really depends on your competition if you are chasing a mini league.
I am chasing but have been taking hits that aren’t paying off big so further falling. I was just going to bring in Kun this week, stick the arm band on him and hope for the best.
I’ve the exact same GK’s. You don’t need to sort that until Heaton is definitely going to play instead of Pope – prioritise sorting out RLC, Arnie and DCL first
Should I take a -4 And lose son? Or just wait till weekend games and after deadline day?
Son performs at home (apparently). Wouldn’t drop him for a hit this week.
No way Gavy, no hit needed. And I’d lose Rich before Son there.
Son scores most of his goals at home so he’s not the worst person to have in your team – I would leave him for this week personally.
Cheers guys. Maybe Shaqiri for rich is needed 1st.
Wait – there is no need for a hit
Hey Everyone,
Seems to be a lot of sellers of Kane for Kun. Very difficult call imo.
I am wondering about which GK to play –
Adrian or Elliot
It’s possible that Elliot does not even play but just in case, who do you recommend?
Team
Adrian or Elliot
Alonso, Jones, Gomez (Mbemba, Ogbonna)
Alli, Salah, Lingard, Sterling (Carroll)
Kane, Kun, Crouch
No FTs so sticking with this team for now but suggestions for future always welcome.
Cheers all..!
I play Elliot, just in case he does start. You need to do something about your 7th attacking player, Carroll or Crouch need to be improved in some way in the GWs to come.
Gomez game time and risk. Rest ok
Thanks guys
Kenny against Leic (Home) or Dunk against Southampton (away) ??
I think that is a coin toss but maybe home advantage swings it
Eh…not sure.
Probably play Kenny, just because they are at home, having said that, Brighton vs Saints could be a very dull affair.
Well, I hope that answered your question. 😉
That was helpful
Hi guys,
Would Ben Mee and/or Kenny be better option than jones or ogobonna?
Btw did Eriksen to Kdb for a hit instead of Kane to Aguero…(hiding behind sofa)!
Best of luck guys!!
