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…

With a back line of Robbo, Alonso, Balbuena, Peltier and Doherty, would anyone take a 4 point hit to upgrade Peltier?! Really tried not to take hits this year, but concerned Robbo and Balbuena won’t start, and Alonso could well be rested! If they don’t, there’s no way Peltier will start and Doherty has Chelsea, although with their marauding fullbacks I guess he could get a goal 😆
Guys what’s the story with mane. I’m thinking of bringing in
F Anderson for him for another hit.
Simple google search shows he has foot problems. Most probably will be a no show.
Yeah. He’s had stitches. As Klopp said: he is currently wearing flip-flops, ‘and footballers don’t play in flip-flops’
they do in my mother country, bangladesh 😉
Hahaha. Klopp is so ignorant 😉
No way Alonso misses a game.
Also, the only defender im taking hit for this GW is TAA.
Well even if he doesn’t, and the other two do, I’d still be short!
Hi guys I’ve got 2FT and 0.1 ITB
Thinking of getting Kane in for Aguero and downgrading possibly Alonso to Van Dyjk or any other recommendations?
Thanks
Nah. Alonso is a season keeper.
Any suggestions to bring in Kane?
I’d bring in Kane without hesitation. Which move would you do to accommodate it?
My initial thoughts were to get rid of Alonso and double up on Liverpool at the back
What would you have to spend if you took Martial out?
I’d have 6.7 to spend if I took out Martial!
Only thing I can really see is a punt on Everton over their next two home games and double up with Walcott?
If you don’t fancy this, then the Alonso move is the most convenient way I guess.
Thinking about getting Townsend in for Martial so I can get in Kane for Aguero! Leaves me with £1m itb
Go for it quickly then!
Guys need some quick advice … Mane —> ??? thinking sterling, but rotation worries me.
1FT 2mill itb
Also noticed Robbo and Alonso are doubts …. hmmmm
thoughts? Willing to take a hit
Mane to Sane maybe?
Who are you all (C)apoing? Kane or Salah or anyone else like Wilson? Last few weeks my (C) choice is not clicking.
Kane for me GM
Kane.
Salah here (cause don’t have Kane)
Went to check my team and it’s a bin fire. Time to WC guys?
I wouldn’t rush a WC with about one hour until the deadline. How many transfers?
I think I’ll just get Kane in and hope for the best. Don’t have enough time to do a proper WC now, GP.
Exactly.
Oh dear, I don’t have enough for Kane without a hit. Lol.
Now Alonso is also doubtful…Robo will not start anyway…..I am left with 3 def. now hoping they all play.
Same here, only players I’d be interested in though are TAA and Trippier, TAA could be rotated too and Trippier is out… Will just roll and hope for the best
