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…

Worth taking a hit to get rid of arnie or mane and who would you bring in?
Wouldn’t do anything for a hit.
How many FTs do you have?
No FTs used it to bring in sterling before I was priced out
Am I good to go?
I would go with that, and agree with the alonso move. City are more than likely going to score and alonso has been getting the same attacking returns in recent weeks
Haz to Eriksen or stick? 4 assists in his last few games and a good run. I know Haz has good fixtures but Eriksen seems to be back in form.
I wouldn’t sell for Eriksen just yet, I’d stick, see what happens and reassess next week!
Cheers Zed. Would you put in Laporte over Bennett?
That’s so 50/50 for me, find it hard to answer, flip a coin, could go either way!
On a wildcard. Appreciate your thoughts please? Pretty happy with it, debating whether there are better alternatives for Fraser/Alonso and whether Robertson and TAA is too much?
Cheers
how much is adrian?
kenedy to some cheapo can give much needed cash for future moves, otherwise looks good.
Agreed. Ditch Kenedy for someone like Hojberg.
Adrian out, Steele in.
Depends how long you’ve had Fraser/Alonso. I’d not sure I’d buy them at full price at the moment but if I had a lot of value stored I would hold as you’ll likely want them back at some point.
Rob/TAA ok until Trippier is back. You could maybe get some other Spurs cover instead but they’re risky.
I like it mate, although the midfield feels light if you know what I mean. If they keep performing you are cool though.
Seems like lots of people on a WC this week. Here is my WC team, any last minute changers needed. Will TAA get rotated after coming on for Gomez?
TAA will start since clyne is not fit.
I would get only one of Ederson/Fabianski
midfield looks weak, especially in weeks when Sterling will be benched
+1
Init and AT, I will blame myself if it goes Pete Tong.
Just think it’s a gamble worth going for as Auba is on fire.
Hope your teams do well this weekend
You should, you suggested it 😉
Even if it doesn’t pay off, it makes sense on paper. If you make those kinds of transfer every week, you’ll be right up there at the end of the season!
Thank you, and good luck to you too.
Hope I am up there mate.
The leader in my ML is a right smug twat who is swatting on every fantasy football site going just to be the best.
I just look at this one, and it does me proud. its all I need.
to win the league would be good, but to beat him would be even better.
