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…

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? 😉
sorry… wrong spot.
hellloo everyone.. i have a quick question..
i am thinking of bringing in foyth. what you guys think? is he naild on?
thank you in advancee
Certainly worth a go. Excellent fixture and has played 360/360 minutes since he came in on GW11.
I believe he’ll play the next two due to suspension/CL qualification. After that, Poch knows
Hello all,
Haven’t been on the site since around GW3 and it shows, been floating between 400k and 1 mil over the last couple of months and thought it time to search for some expert opinions as i’m a bit stuck.
2 FT, £4.8m itb, I have a few plans for the future (see below) but am not sure which steps to take first so any help is appreciated. Overall, my future plans involve getting rid of Jiminez, Mane, Doherty, Hazard (possibly, performance dependent), Dunk (after Palace game) and a possible downgrade of Alonso if needed. Obivously, Jiminez, Doherty and Mane should be shifted first.
My current thinking options this week are:
a) Jiminez -> Auba (0.4 short), so Mane -> Sane/Eriksen and 0/0.2 itb.
b) Jiminez -> Kane (1.7 short) so Mane -> FAnderson/Richarlison and 1.0/1.1 itb.
c) Same as b, but using the extra funds to do Doherty -> TAA (seems like the only option) for a -4.
d) Anything else?
Many thanks!
How are ya Bean. Given my rank, I’m in no position to be the advice-giver, but I’d say A (done it myself w/ Auba and Sane 😉 ) Best of luck to us both.
Probably the first time this season i’ve properly thought about a transfer and it’s causing me headaches. Am trying to focus on uni work but it just won’t happen till i’ve solved this.
Swore i’d never buy Kane again, and Spurs haven’t looked great, but those fixtures!
Will see what the extra cash (Kane vs Auba) allows in terms of further upgrades.
Great to see you on here, Bean. I’ve been on the site and my rank is still 800k and so there’s definitely no hope for me anyway
I’d go for option B, but as you have Arnie to go for Richarlison just to spread coverage.
Swirly, think it’s the way i’m tilting but FAnderson vs Richarlison is tough. Is spreading coverage a good tactic?
I know most of FPL is down to individual performance but it means you don’t have all your eggs in one basket if, say, West Ham don’t do as well as anticipated. Just my thoughts anyway
B for me Bean, with Richarlison as the mid.
Don’t have the best keepers this week but Patricio or foster?
I’d probably go Patricio, just because he’s at home. It’s the lesser of two evils!
Yeah swirly. That’s the route I’m taking but don’t expect much from either.
Hi all,
Sterling for cappo?
Thanks
Hey Beno – from that bunch I’d prob go w Salah. Rumors of a rest for Sterling but who knows.
Has pep actually given any insight in to who he might play/rest?
Of course he hasn’t! This is Pep we are talking about!
