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…

0.4itb, 0ft.
All set?
Team:
Yep, good that :ok:
so martial is likely to miss out tomorrow then? if so, would you do martial to felipe?
What you dong with Arnautovic first?
What’s your transfer and cash situation eresh?
there are 2 routes i could take GP. atm i have 1.4ITB with 0 FT
1) Alonso becomes bellerin/balbuena and arnie becomes laca. murray and martial will be left alone for next week.
2) arnie becomes laca, martial becomes felipe and alonso becomes bellerin/balbuena.
3) any suggestion you or the other guys if the above 2 is not right
You made a move already?
As it is I think just Arnautovic to your preferred striker for the -4.
yeah. i got sterling in GP. i really want laca this week so whilst -8 is never a good thing, could work out in the end.
So is option 2 a -12 then?
yeah it is. i added that in as i really wanted felipe in but that can wait for next week. so its the -8 or arnie to wilson/jimenez just for a -4.
If you’re set on Lacazette then Alonso to Bellerin to make it work I think.
cheers GP mate. any transfers in for you this week?
Not yet, no.
Which defence to start??
I don’t think Wolves and Palace are as yet particularly watertight which leads me to suggesting you keep Alonso in there despite the tough fixture.
As is for me.
Cheers GP.
My thoughts too.
I think you have it right
Who to replace Martial? Son or Ericksen?
Both great picks. Son looked really dangerous the other night so if that extra saving helps you, I would say him. If you don’t care about the cost, then I think Eriksen will prove to be the more reliable point-scorer and is also more assured of playing more (although I think they will both play enough to justify you bringing either in).
I’d prefer Son. Always a rotation risk but always looks like scoring
Son for me. He should play a lot of minutes while Lamela is injured, and he’s higher up the pitch than Kane.
Son has done well for me in the past.
Help needed! Have a few pints in me and don’t wanna make the wrong moves but I’m in a difficult position.
Open to a hit, but no WC left so can’t go down that real.
Any advice welcome and appreciated
Mane to Sane and Arnie to Wilson?
+1
Done ha
Hey Ho!
time to smash the wildcard button ?
hmmmmm
Depends if you want the likes of Kane, Sterling etc, you could actually swerve it this week if not.
