FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW15
Welcome to the FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW15. Hmmm, we don’t quite know what to make of that past week. 9 of our 11 posted some sort of return, albeit a modest one. Patricio and Richarlison aside every other player scored 5 or above, which is usually a good sign. The problem was that only one of those actually broke the six point barrier and that was Doherty… with 7. We didn’t even get to see our captain play as Kun took the day off, as did our vice-captain Salah, in an ironically different fashion. All in all then we landed on 55 points which was 6 above the average but still meant a minor red arrow for us as we fell 2k in the overall rankings to 60,606th. Last weeks transfer of Sane in for Lucas Moura was looking promising until FPL Towers deemed his ‘first assist’ not to be one, despite all evidence to the contrary. His shot was downgraded to a ‘cross/pass’. Pass. Idiots.
Anyhow, onwards and upwards, two weeks ago we promised you a Hazard transfer and ultimately decided against it. Last week we promised you a Kane transfer…. Let’s go see how close we came to keeping our word this time!
Last weeks result in full…
This weeks transfer decision(s)
For once we are actually going to push through and do what we said we would. No drama or excitement this week, a simple vote with a clear outcome sees Kane come in for Aguero. For what it’s worth Aubameyang did garner one vote as an alternative but the majority felt that Kane at home against Southampton was too good an opportunity to pass up, although we’ve all been here before with Kane in the recent past haven’t we?! The decision itself was dealt a small blow this morning once it was announced that Saints are now sans the ball and chain that is Mark Hughes.
We detailed our Kun to Kane justification last week and that all still stands so we won’t repeat ourselves. Well ok, we will, literally – “It’s long been told that Spurs’ fixtures turn for the better come GW15 and this does indeed seem to be the case with Southampton (H), Leicester (A) and Burnley (H) as their next 3 after this weekend as well as then facing Bournemouth and Wolves at home and Cardiff away over the Christmas period. But how on earth can we afford a 2nd premium striker without killing half of our midfield and 2 of our defenders? Truth is we probably can’t and so we need a sacrificial lamb and that comes in the shape of Aguero for us (*gulp). When we delve into his fixtures versus the Kane ones above we see that he has Watford and Chelsea away after this week followed by a potentially challenging Everton tie, albeit at home. Kun has been a bit ‘meh’ away from home whereas we can see Kane being captaincy material in a good few of his games”. Plus he’s potentially injured. Farewell for a bit Sergio…
To confirm then we have… SOLD: AGUERO & BOUGHT: KANE
Our Captain is Harry Kane
Little surprise here then with the strength of fixture and Kane has returned in his last four games now, and none of them were quite as ‘easy’ as Southampton at home. Fool me once and all that…
Salah gets our Vice band if the unthinkable happens and Kane is rested.
Our team in full…

***NEW ARTICLE- SITE TEAM GW15***
Same transfer as me. Can’t see Aguero in the video or pictures posted from training today.
Same here. Only I need to move Mendy to accomodate it (for free), was going to be Balbuena but not sure now. Digne is calling!
Hmmm…I’m sure someone matching Digne’s description was referenced in a Fixtures article a number of weeks back! 😉
Guessing Coleman doesn’t work? If you’re only looking for a two week punt (Everton have some tricky fixtures after that), what about Foyth?
Was it Deulofeu?
Thinking of doing Robbo to Digne myself as,if the rumour is true that Alonso may miss out against Wolves i’ll only have 2 playing defenders !!
Aguero>auba or lacazette?
I prefer PEA.
Auba
Kane
Cheers site team lovely stuff.
Arnie or sane as captain?
Would say sane. How about Eriksen
Arnie if he plays. Richarlison is also another consideration there.
How about Auba? Pains me to say, but we are garbage right now
I feel like the only one who went with Aubameyang over kane… squeaky bum time come Wednesday!!
Whilst Kane may outscore Auba this gameweek, it could be quite the reverse the following one when Arsenal host Huddersfield
Exactly
I’d have done the same if I didn’t have WC still. Auba next week, most likely
I’ve done Auba too Rosco
Yeah had I had the WC I’d have done as AT did, as it is I fancy Aubameyang long term so can’t really afford the short term option. I’d have had to do a -4 for Kane, it would have probably repaid itself but I’ll jusge the decision over the next 3-4 game-weeks.. and try not to get too upset when Kane scores 4 and Aubameyang blanks on Wednesday!!
Should balance itself out over the festive period.
I did the same Rosco!!
Hi all! What would you all suggest for this team? Main concern atm is Martials gametime but I’m struggling to keep up with all the news and comments atm as snowed under with work so could do with all your help and advice. What’s the latest on Kun…is Robertson a worry? Got 2 FT’s and £0.5 itb …what moves would you all suggest?
Cheers
Kun is still a major doubt, hasn’t been seen in training yet. Robbo has a dead leg but I doubt that will keep him out, natural rotation may though! I’d expect Martial to come back in. Alonso to Luiz and Kun to Kane possibly? Alonso is also subject to rotation rumours.
To counter the rumour, Sarri hasn’t changed his back line for months in the PL, so it’s certainly not a foregone conclusion
You started it!
I know
Just like you’ve started the Arnautovic one now. I’ll add him to my rotation list!
Cheers Innit and At! After losing Mendy i am a bit reluctant to lose another premium defender in Alonso tbh! Would like some Spurs cover though …Trippier maybe!?
Could do Martial/Doherty to Maddison/Trippier or thinking maybe Bennet/Martial to Trippier/Schurrle!? Thinking Doherty and Schurrle rotate nicely next few weeks, what do you reckon?
