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…

Evening everyone,
Am I good to go? Defence / subs look ok?
Cheers muchly!
Yes, though I’d marginally favour A-A as first sub.
Cheers Kralin
Should I decimate my midfield to incorporate Auba?
Yes. Teach it a lesson it’ll never forget.
:big-lol: :hippo:
Hi guys,
Totally unsure as to who to captain and who to bench this week.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks in advance!
I think you’ve got it right, though Salah is as good a captain pick as Kane this week I would argue.
I am a Leicester fan so feels wrong captaining Kane, but he has returned every week recently and we aren’t exactly great at the back!
Really torn between him and Salah!
And he loves playing Leicester!

I’d probably leave it how you have it to be honest.
As for other advice, charge your phone!
Smart advice AT! Kane over Salah though?
Yea, Kane over Salah for me.
Would you rather have Sane or Eriksen going into the Xmas madness?
Already have Kane & Sterling.
Sane is more explosive and plays for a team who will invariably score more goals. Just have to accept that occasionally he will sit.
Q1) All set for this week?
Q2) Is next week the time for my wildcard? If so I’d like to activate tomorrow to catch price changes.
– Murray & Digne need to go
– Townsend was always a short term measure
– Pererya has decent fixtures but I’m not full of confidence
EBC
1. Yeah that’s set.
2. I don’t know but you’re running out of time that’s for sure. I would look to change Pereyra, Townsend and Murray soon either way.
Thanks!
Hi everyone! Already done Kun to Auba this week…am also strongly considering Arnie/Anderson to Mitro/Martial although it’ll cost -8! Is that just a stupid idea or you reckon it will pay off over next few weeks?
Lineup & Cap/VC choice ok otherwise?
Cheers
Don’t hit for Martial. In fact don’t hit at all.
= great team RK!
Nice 1 cheers GB how about the cap/vc choice …who you going for with your team?
Yeah I think your C/VC is spot on mate. I’m going Kane because he always scores against Leicester.
Don’t think Martial will play, mate!
Cheers AT been a bit behind on the news …I’ll stick as is then unless you got any other suggestions
I think I’d stick!
Sounds like a stupid idea to be honest.
I’d rather have Anderson than Martial. Mitro could work but he’s away to Man Utd so I’d leave it as is for now and hope Alonso does the job.
Martial isn’t with the squad tonight, apparently.
Cheers Innit and EBC!
Good luck this weekend all!
