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…

So, seems like everyone except me has Kane again, like in GW8 against Cardiff… I need a BIG BIG SOFA tomorrow :oogle:
I’m ignoring Kane too, I’ll hiding behind the sofa when he plays…
Your team is not linked Amigo. What’s going on?
Might just be a broken link, I can fix it if need be? I have the FPL ID as 489541, that correct?
I’m going without Kane as well as I think he will blank. In any case, happy to be proven wrong
Without Kane or any Spurs as well.
I’ll need a big sofa too
Just pull over your eyes that great Christmas hat Frenchie :big-lol:
OK, my dear B team. I don’t expect any clean sheets but who is likely to have more saves, Patricio or Hart?
I am having same keepers. Going with Hart.
Good idea. Saved penalty would be nice 🙂
Morning all,
After falling from 1st to 5th in my ML league week I pulled the wildcard trigger.
Thoughts?
Hi Goldi. It looks good, if you could manage to get Arnie or Anderson perhaps. WHU have great fixtures ahead.
Yes, but who would you sacrifice?
Well, I went with Hazard, just two assists in the last six games doesn’t look good for his price tag.
Not so sure on Bellerin, could downgrade him too to a cheap def, a Hammer perhaps
or Sane to Silva, or Alli, to raise cash for Wilson –> Arnautovic, or downgrade Wilson to Success and try to get Anderson for March/McArthur…
What should I do here? I’ve 2 fts and 0.5 itb. Could do Aguero to kane but would need to find 0.6 from somewhere? Any suggestions
Mane to Anderson would easily raise the cash
AAT to Robertson or Luiz to Alonso will give you the missing cash.
Is Robertson to AAT, martial to Anderson and Aguero to kane for 4 pt hit worth it?
It probably is considering there are doubts surrounding Robertson and Kun.
Cheers
morning all. hope most of you have made your changes for tonight. what do you guys think is the best active midfield cheapie within 4.5m range?
Probably Hojberg or Camarasa. Although I see Camarasa is now 4.6m
cheers kop. was also looking at gunarsson, hogg and billing
To be honest, they’re all rubbish
I spent some time yesterday considering one, if not two, of them for my team! I think I’ve scrapped the idea completely.
fair enough kop. just need 1 so i can use the barkley money somewhere else
If I had to pick one it would probably be Camarasa.
Camarasa at 4.6m or Billing at 4.5m imo!
cheers zed. what about hojberg/gunarsson/hogg/billing? i know it doesnt matter but rotation is key and gaining points from them would be slightly helpful.
Höjbjerg has played well but new manager incoming and we can’t know how he will play him, could be Höjbjerg gets demoted to bench, Billing has played most minutes of them all and shoots occasionally so I’d pick him….
thanks zed..always helpful mate
what transfers have u done this midweek?
Aguero to Aubameyang and already made a 0.1m profit on him, he rose twice in a row
Eresh, I was in the same situation and settled for Billing. There are not many to chose at that price. Apart from Arsenal and Man United the next few fixtures look OK. Most likely he will be on bench most of the times.
cheers ivan.. whats ur final squad looking like?
It’s a bit adventures but living in hope eresh 😆
nice ivan.. have to do my mendy out transfer today. undecided between digne/diop/dunk/duffy
I thought you have done it already. Too much money to keep until February mate. Go for Dunk and have a few spare bob for emergencies 😉
Without seeing your team, eresh, and therefore assuming you don’t have any defenders/GK from those teams already, I think I’d go for Digne or one of the Brighton boys. If Balbuena is not fit, I don’t much fancy Diop.
cheers AT. will think about that
I like Brighton’s centre-backs though. Like Huddersfield, they seem very reliant on set pieces and at the prices they are at, at least you aren’t wasting money on them if they don’t get returns!
yeah.. either of them are pretty handy. worth going for
Aubameyang rose twice in a row, wow, already made a profit on him! 🙂
Who is your captain Zed if you don’t have Kane? (I don’t have him either)
