FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW16
Welcome to the FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW16. Following consecutive red arrows in GWs 13 & 14 we managed to claw our way back up the ranks with a final score of 68 in GW15. This comfortably beat the average of 45 and saw us climb back up to 36,483, our best rank of the season so far.
With our defence and keeper returning just 3pts between them we were largely indebted to Captain Kane and Private Fraser who contributed 12pts each (doubled for Kane) with Richarlison not far behind with 10pts. Further solid performances from Jimenez, Sane and a late Salah assist managed to largely negate Arnie’s 0pts!
Last weeks result in full…
Happy with our progress we march on confidently into GW16, but now in search of an Arnie replacement, and with our wildcard still to be used. Could this finally be the week….
This weeks transfer decision(s)
No.
The wildcard lives on, burning a hole in our pockets while at the same time we have taken a hit to remove Salah! There’s logic there somewhere.
Arnie’s (latest) injury and free scoring Arsenal’s fixtures were the caveat for such an extraordinary course of action. Sterling coming in is hardly a bad option, especially as he had a good rest in midweek. Arsenal’s current run of form along with their imminent fixture schedule focuses the mind on them really and hence we made one of their forwards a priority to replace Arnie. We could have simply taken Wilson in but his fixtures turn south whilst Salah’s form is not explosive enough to justify either his price tag or his place instead of Sterling in our team any longer. And so it’s another week and another City mid added, feels like we shall keep on doing this until we have them all!
In truth we would probably have preferred Aubayemang to Lacazette but funds dictated otherwise and with Lacazette likely to return the starting line-up we’re comfortable with the Frenchman. (That could come back to bite us, as could Salah of course c’est la vie).
And so to confirm we have… SOLD SALAH & ARNIE AND BOUGHT STERLING & LACAZETTE
Our Captain is Lacazette
Straight in the team and awarded the armband. Giving a Frenchman this sort of responsibility may be considered reckless, nay insane. But with the Gooners at home to Huddersfield, what could possibly go wrong? Just in case Monsieur Lacazette runs away never to be seen again, Kane is our vice.
Our team in full…

Here’s my team for this gw what do people think
MrMajeika
Ignore the captain prob gonna go auba or laca
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
As stated, change to Aubameyang and that looks fine.
inittowinit
Do you have some sort of secret BOGOF offer on players?
#pairs
Looks good. Lacking a bit of Kane for my liking but hopefully your double Arsenal boys can make up for that, Aaron.
secretzorro
Ivan, Pep’s buying Steffen from Crew
IvanTheTerrible
Yeah, I saw that today. I wonder why SZ?
inittowinit
They lack any real back up to Ederson with Bravo being out, not that he exactly was! There’s question marks over his work permit though but you can only assume City have that covered if they are moving for him. I expect they may make a few more ‘future’ moves in this window too, just in case that potential transfer ban is ever actually imposed.
IvanTheTerrible
That is true init. At 7 million we are talking good bargain here. It’s a surprise as Man City Group owns NYCFC as well.
inittowinit
Keeper of the year and at a rival club, where’s the surprise
City could always keep him until the MLS season restarts and then loan him to NY on the proviso of an immediate recall if necessary, win / win. Not that they would be so conniving…….
beno1234
Auba or Kane cappo? Pulling my hair out here
beno1234
Or sterling…
Zed Leppelin
Auba or Kane… Probably Auba!
AT
Auba
GentleBenAKA
Flip a coin?
AT
Who would you put in to finish this team off?
£6.5m…
I am tempted by Chicharito, but not sure about tripling up on West Ham! Jimenez has okay fixtures for the next two, I suppose.
AT
Forgot again…
GentleBenAKA
Downgrade your 5th def (Schindler to Yoshida) so you can stick Mitro in there?
AT
I’m worried that Mitro is on his fourth yellow!
GentleBenAKA
True. Personally, I’ve gone for a punt. Lucas.
Zed Leppelin
Jimenez… Not a lot of options at that price…
AT
Cheers, Zed. Yeah, slim pickings really. I could try and squeeze Wilson in, just to stay with the masses.
Zed Leppelin
That should be better long-term, if Wilson continues like this (which is rather likely) his price is gonna go up and it would be even more difficult to squeeze him in with FTs….
inittowinit
Get Chica AT. Got to have a punt in there somewhere. Then Richarlison for Felipe if you’re not comfy with a treble. Plus it gives you something to cling to on Monday when the rest has gone tits up
AT
Cheers both.
I’m not sure my budget will stretch to Wilson really, unfortunately! Unless I ditch some of the players I’ve been settled on for a while.
If I was to get Chica, would you prefer Rich or Sigurdsson, Init?
inittowinit
Given as I mentioned one and not the other that may be a clue 😉
AT
Oh really? Interesting. I can’t actually afford Siggy with that team so thought you’d done some quick maths ;). Thanks!
inittowinit
Fck did you mention him for then? May as well have said Rich or Salah
AT
Because it’s only £0.2m. I could find that somewhere haha.
Zed Leppelin
So Martial won’t play, I need the bench, is it in correct order? Should I just play Alonso? No cleanie I’m 100% sure…
GentleBenAKA
Alonso loves scoring against the big teams.
Zed Leppelin
He’s only scored 1 goal this season though…
Kralin
I think you’ve got it right, though I would suggest that your placing him (Alonso) in that position on the bench is your unconscious mind telling you he’s not going to be in the side for much longer. It’s preparing you for the separation.
Zed Leppelin
Yeah, regarding that check my comment above
Kralin
I’m too wiped out by hippy crack, ZL.
Zed Leppelin
Go listen to “Fun House” by the Stooges then!
Kralin
Not the worst of suggestions. Been a while since I listened to The Stooges. Though, frankly, I was more a fan of garage rock.
hammerfan_lm
Inittowinit,
What do you think about Arnie->Auba, Hazard->Son for a 1 week punt? Maybe!!!
Looks like Hazard’s price is gonna drop tonight, wonder if its worth making use of that fact, plus Gooners have Huddersfield this weekend, and Chelski’s tough City game.
Then obviously change back… who knows.
inittowinit
What’s the rest of your team currently please Hammers?
hammerfan_lm
here ya go
inittowinit
How would you reverse it next week? If you have a WC left to do that, I’d consider it. Otherwise, probably not.
Then again, they are good transfers to make and stick with.

hammerfan_lm
WC already used.
I’d maybe not reverse it anyway.
Just an idea if I wanted Hazard back, but am sure I could do that within a couple of weeks.
inittowinit
Butt out son, he wasn’t asking you
AT
Apologies.
Hammer, go with what Init said 😉
hammerfan_lm
ok, through all the confusion (which is easily done!!!!), what did you think…..lol
Should I do it???
If so, I will captain Auba as well.
Shall I stick with the transfers for next week…. and beyond.
AT
Given that your bench doesn’t really have a good Arnie replacement as it is, I think I wouldl
inittowinit
Yeah do them.
hammerfan_lm
Ok, the big gamble has now been done for a 4ph.
Arnie out, Hazard out.
PEA (c) and Son in.
I have pushed Bennett to be 1st sub just in case Robertson is rotated and doesnt play.
I will sit back and watch it backfire big time.
Only reason for my gamble is I have closed the gap on the leader by 30 points – I am hunting him down. I want my title back…lol (yes there is a long way to go, but its mine I tell you…lol)
AT
Good luck!
hammerfan_lm
Thanks AT
hammerfan_lm
Thanks AT
Have actually changed things around and benched Azpi.
Right move I hope.
inittowinit
Don’t forget to blame AT exclusively if any of this doesn’t work out
AT
Yes, not Init. Definitely not Init’s fault 😉
GentleBenAKA
I don’t see this as a gamble at all. It sounds very sensible.
