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…

Afternoon everyone. Have put together the graphic below. Missed out Aguero as he’s highly unlikely to not play and Anderson because this is his first Premier League season and therefore has no head to head data.
For avoidance of doubt, P = Played, G = No. of goals, A = No. of assists.
Looks like Spurs like playing Southampton!
Wilson is the man then!
Thanks Swirly
That does it, thanks swirly, was debating whether to WC or not, all in on Captain Kane, sacrificing Salah. (Hopefully he gets rested)
Nice one Swirly
Good stats…as per that Wilson flies high followed by Kane. But Salah has a good case too as Burnley this season is conceding a lot. I don’t know if it is bad defending or bad goalkeeping.
General thought: Alonso > Rudiger….free up approx 1m for upgrading elsewhere with more attacking options coming up (MCI, ARS, Spurs). Do you see any pitfall? Or, should Alonso be season lock?
It’s mainly worked for me since I did Robertson to TAA, I have to say. Alonso seems to have gone quiet on attacking potential recently, too, so it certainly doesn’t seem like a horrendous idea if you’re just running short of bringing in someone.
You are correct…I am holding Robo (Gw1) and Alonso (Gw3)…since then Alonso did nothing and Robo at least getting bonus pts on and off.
Afternoon Peeps!
GW15 Team all done. Good to go?
A nice looking team that should then bring you rewards beyond this gameweek too. You’re good to go!
Thanks Swirly
I think i’ve settled on the following WC time. Am going to be fairly tied up between now and deadline but will check for any comments!
Digne offers rotation protection in case I get Pep’d again!
Tied up? With the in-laws? 😉
nope they are going to William’s nativity thing – I’m with the girls!!
Looks great that does, mate
Looks great Cookie :thumbup:
I have the same front three and C. Let’s roll 🙂
Looks great Cookie.
I’m just not convinced by Foyth. Is it just because Vertonghen is suspended? Foyth was terrible against Arsenal, I see him coming back to the bench very soon.
I would also probably try to not have 2 Everton defenders, but I’ll leave that to you
Frenchie,
Foyth is a concern but Poch likes him, Vert is suspended this week and Sanchez is weeks away. Plus Foyth can’t play in Europe.
I want Spurs defensive coverage for their run.
Re 2 Everton – yep not ideal but just a 2 week trial that provides bench cover this week and a decent home fixture next week.
Areet lads and lasses, used my FT to bring kane in for aguero.
Really tempted to use my WC, has to be used soon anyways and with the inevitable rotations seems to make sense.
Any thoughts?
Current squad…
WC team
I should of also said I’m top of my ML and others have sterling as a differential, hence why I’m eager to get him in
For all we know, Sterling could be rested. I agree that your WC team looks better but it’s still only six moves and you’re doing it with only a few hours to spare before the deadline. If it was up to me, if wait for a gap of at least a week between gameweeks and re-evaluate rhen. Worse case scenario, your team could still do a 4-3-3 with a decent team apart from Kenedy (and, even then, you never know).
Thanks swirly.
Afternoon everyone.
Am I good to go? Any suggestion on captain choice? Or do Robbo to TAA for a hit?
TAA could be rotated though, wouldn’t take a hit for him! I understand you might not get 3 defenders but if taking a hit I’d not lose Robertson… Otherwise looks good!!
Thanks Zed!
