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…

Sterling vs Kane for captain?
Kane . Higher chance of starting and bracing ( I’m saying this even though I don’t have Kane lol)
Kane
Kane, Sterling might not start
Double palace defense (Hennessey and Wan B) or Hennessey and Jimenez.
Jimenez is a striker
Hi guys. Been a bit stale for me over the last few weeks, would love to get a bit of power behind my team come Christmas. I’m working with 2FT and .1m in the bank. Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks yet again!!
I’d be looking at Spurs coverage somewhere, preferably Kane.
Kane or Auba for Kun – unless we hear something startling about Kun today.
If you go for Auba then Jiminez could be upgraded.
If you ditch Kun then you may want to think about a City mid though you may as well wait until after the Chelsea game.
Kun -> kane
and downgrade either hazard or alonso. Maybe alonso to Luiz?
Anybody have news on Mane? Gonna play?
Presser today ohyesali so let’s see what Klopp says.
Yea, the pain is was trying to get some info before he dropped. Too late now hehe.
How’s the season going cookie?
It was going well until last week!
How about you mate?
Hi guys
A quick Turn around for this week’s GW. Thanks for the article as per usual.
So here Is my team
0.2 ITB
2 FT
Willing to take a hit.of.-4 too if needed.
Should I go
Out
Mane – what’s the news, will he be rested
Kun – as above
Hazard
In
Salah
Eriksson
??
Open to diff sets of advice.
Thanks
Nobody knows about Mane.
You could think about Martial, or Eriksen, instead of him.
There’s been a reasonable amount of chat on site about Kun replacements, so scroll back through the pages.
I’d be steering clear of anything Man U for a bit. Just my view
I think Mane – Eriksson is a safe bet.
Still would.like to get Salah in some how
2ft, i’m thinking
salah + kun > sterling + kane
would leave me this lot
what do you think guys?
I was toying with something similar but not convinced about selling Salah ahead of Burnley, especially if there’s some doubt about Sterling possibly getting a rest.
yeah i see what your saying Innit, maybe i’ll looking at getting the kane cash elsewhere as i only have 0.2itb. I was hoping to get rid of barkley, any chance he might play?
He may do having sat out the last couple.
Salah to Sterling this GW is a no from me, Salah most likely will start if Mane is out and Salah was subbed off on the weekend, Sterling played 90mins on the weekend, it Pep roulette, and they face Chelsea next weekend in which one would think Sterling will 100% play (unless injured)…
thanks Zed, good points mate
