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…

Aguero has reportedly suffered a setback in training yesterday and is ruled out for Watford and potentially also Chelsea.
Guess who reported it? Our friends at the Guardian
They were correct last time, weren’t they? 😀
Look what a -12 can get you!!!!!
-16 will get you Sane too 😉
Don’t tempt me!!!!!
lol you went for it then.
I bottled it i’m afraid. only the -4 to bring in kane with another to follow this week to bring in Auba
Yea, certainly my most reckless FPL move ever, but hoping it’ll pay off over the next few weeks… Cue a Hazard hatty and Kane blank.
-12 equals a Kane hatty 😉
Am I all set?
Looks good Frenchie
Looks very nice mate, good luck!
Cheers guys
Yes
Klopp on Mane
Salah (C) locked in for me then 😉
I hope it works out for you Zed
It’s Independence Day on Thursday here in Finland, so at least no work on Thursday so if it all goes down the toilet (again) I can switch to the booze as the Wednesday night unfolds with no worry about an early wake up the next day! 😆
Help me pick a replacement Kop? 😉 No idea what to do here….was set on Sterling in but all the rotation chat has me spooked. Now looking at a Spurs mid. Or a -4 for Haz/Mane > Spurs/City mids but which ones?! Help?!
How about just Mane to Sane?
Otherwise if you want Spurs I would consider Son, just because he plays more upfront than the others.
There will always be talk of rotation when it comes to the City mids!!
I’d agree with Frenchie and hope that Sane isn’t rested.
Thanks fellas. Problem is not having Sterling is killing me and if I go with Sane that ties my hands a bit for next week. What are your thoughts on Alli? Could be ready to bust out and a huge differential?
Alli has spoken about how his role has changed and how he now plays a little deeper so that puts me off him a little. But how does getting Alli rather than Sane make it easier to get Sterling?
lol I suppose you’re right…and that’s why you’re the Kop!
I suppose you wouldn’t support Haz > Son for a -4 then this week? 😉
No
I appreciate that Hazard hasn’t looked great of late but Wolves have been poor at the back so Hazard could do well against them.
Pep’s roulette in full force 😆
Ivan, you’re a bad man
I don’t believe in any of these Cookie. FB and Twitter are full of this kind of shite. Only Pep knows who is going to start.
Music to my ears as I have no City? Laporte rested as well maybe? 😆
The first ? should have been ! 😀
Just be happy with Salah’s solitary goal (if any) Zed 😉
He will get at least one hatty this season 😉
