FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW17
Oh come all ye faithless…
Welcome to FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW17. Oh dear, we had a bit of a car crash last week, so much so that our score of 51 didn’t even beat the average and our GW rank was sub 4 million. You rather sense things aren’t going to go well when your keeper concedes 5 but can’t even manage a solitary save point. He wasn’t alone in his ineptness though as the rest of our defence got 5 points between them, 3 of our midfielders got 4 between them and even Jesus couldn’t save us as he got 2. Our only bright lights were our new signing Alli with a couple of assists, Jimenez with one of his own and of course Vardy with his usual haul.
All this saw us drop considerably in the ranks and we now sit 68,920th. Someone is going to get a kicking…
Our GW16 Result…
Let’s go see what was decided…
Our GW17 Transfer(s)
Armed with a bank of £3.8m we set about righting the wrongs of last week and two targets were quickly established; Rashford and Abraham. Which one to pick was to be as hotly debated as who was to leave. The obvious candidates being either Jesus or Jimenez. A scenario was put forward which would see us take Abraham this week and retain Jimenez for not only this week (Spurs have been leaky under Jose having conceded 2 or more goals in 5 out of 6 of his games in charge), but also for his game against Norwich next week. And all being well he can then depart for Rashford the following week. It’s wishful thinking that that is how it will all pan out but we like to have a bit of a plan in place regardless. All of which left Jesus out in the cold. At Christmas too… we are heartless. It also now leaves us with £5.4m in the bank, thrifty lot us.
To confirm then we have SOLD Jesus and BOUGHT Tammy Abraham
Captain – Jamie Vardy
This one was unanimous in that “Vardy (C), Tammy (V)” got all 5 votes, without one iota of debate.

Site team for GW17 is live.
Raziel
Team looks solid. Uncertain if I would have dropped Jesus though.
Cookie
It was difficult to ignore Tammy home to an injury ravaged and completely out-of-form Bournemouth, Raz.
But agreed in a way as Jesus is in decent form.
Raziel
Yeah, personally I’d have done Jimenez to Tammy. But I understand the move.
constantine
Still a decent rank. All the best for this week Site team. Cup not qualified it seems though!!
Cookie
The Cup is such an irrelevance for us we hadn’t noticed until you pointed it out!
Raziel
Best time to wildcard? Xmas?
Cookie
As late as possible given your team looks great, Raz.
Raziel
Yeah, really wondering what and when. First I was thinking team value and that’s not possible at the end of the year.
So maybe see what happens around Xmas.
SAFs_hairdryer
What is the popcorn eating piano hamster all about Raz? Love the link to your team! :big-lol:
Raziel
It’s for fun. :popcorn:
Give people a smile. Ricky Gervais written and produced a series called ‘Derek’. In the series he plays an authentic, autistic man in his 50s. Apart from it being heartwarming, it is super funny.
Anyways, one of Derek’s favorite things to do is watch animals on YouTube. This clip was in it and I found it hilarious. That’s why I shared it instead of my team. :popcorn:
Raziel
Here is the original clip. With Gervais it’s even more funny.

Love that anecdote !
I loved Derek too,his mate with the glasses used to make me laugh.I’ve gone full circle with Ricky Gervais,used to really like him,then went off him,now i love him.His stand up is brilliant !

Raziel
Hey Brooky. Yeah, Ricky has multiple sides of him. After watching Derek I’m pretty certain he has a good soul though. You can’t write something like that and not be a good person at the same time. The level of empathy in that series is awesome. For me it’s what life is all about, helping others and being good to others. All put together in that awesome charactar ‘Derek’. When I watched Derek, I really didn’t see Ricky Gervais anymore, but ‘Derek’. THat’s the biggest compliment you can give an actor.
As for his other sides. Because he has multiple layers to him, I understand why he does all. I heard he will do the golden globes again. Hehe, he will murder the famous actors.
Mitro
Afternoon all
This is currently my team for GW17, am I good to go? Really tempted to bring in Tammy for Jimenez.
Anyone keep on switching between mane and vardy as capo?
Cookie
Is Kane to Tammy not better given you also have Alli & Son?
Mitro
That was the plan before he got the massive haul last week, you reckon he will blank this week?
Cookie
Who knows but you don’t need three of them!
Mitro
You still don’t like Kane? 😉
ODT
Captain choice this week is extra hard for sure.
inittowinit
Jimenez to Tammy and captain Vardy.
Mitro
Cheers init
Raziel
Yah, the move I like best.
tiijayz
May the Varddyy party continue!!! :hippo:
The B
You are not invited.
inittowinit
2FT’s & 0.0m ITB. Any suggestions welcomed please. TIA.
The B
Fall on your butt and die.
inittowinit
I can’t say I understand where that animosity toward me comes from B? But it’s a public forum and you are entitled to your opinion and I respect that. It’s a shame as I’ve always been fond of you myself but whatever! Wishing someone to die may be a tad strong though?
Raziel
I think it’s a joke? At least I hope so… Lol…
I know I’m always taking the piss with B. Don’t hope he takes my stuff seriously, as it is not.
inittowinit
I wouldn’t open with it… 😀
Raziel
Yah, I’d just ignore it if so. Good or bad, in the end the person has to live with the negative energy himself.
The B
Now that I have communicated my suggestion, changing Tomori seems like the obvious choice given the 2 FTs.
Cookie
Kane to Tammy, mate.
inittowinit
Treating Kane as a very handy and more than capable differential at the moment so I wouldn’t particularly want to do that, but thanks anyway, especially as you’re the reason he’s there!
Mitro
Cookie
He has served his purpose – you can get Son in 2 weeks.
inittowinit
I can get Son this week if Sterling leaves. And Tammy.
I think I’d much rather have Kane’s ceiling than Jimenez’s. Sterling’s ceiling seems to have collapsed and I’m tired of waiting for the workmen to arrive.
Would you support those moves instead?
inittowinit
Here’s the alternative team with my proposals, if that helps.
Cookie
Personally I don’t think you need double (if any) Spurs for 2 weeks
But I’ll play along. With your team below with Kane and Son, who is your captain next week?
inittowinit
Duncan Ferguson, we’ve got Arsenal at home, he loves a weak defence :rofl:
It’s a great point as it’s a bitch of a week for Capos but to counter it I wouldn’t captain Sterling and your hypothesis would therefore be that it would have to be Jimenez. And yes he probably has the best of the ‘easy’ fixtures, maybe the only one. That said I’m not sure I’d trust him with it regardless. He’s generally a 1 goal and see ya guy.
Cookie
Jimenez has got bonus points every time he’s scored this season bar once.
He or Rashford are those I’m looking to capo next week. It has the potential to be your differential week when others will be left with Vardy, Son or Tammy.
Raziel
Hmm. Hard one. A few things you could do. Kane to Tammy and McGinn to Son or Alli possible?
Zed Leppelin
I think I’d wanna turn Jiménez into Abraham in some way (bearing in mind you wanna keep Kane), perhaps via downgrading Tomori to a fodder…
Or deal with McGinn who’s done f all as of late, the Saints boys are saying hi (if you still have your WC)
inittowinit
Tadic still there?
Zed Leppelin
Just saying if you’ve still got yer WC then Djenepo or JWP surely are better bets with those fixtures than McGill is all, I do feel Djenepo will score soon 😉
inittowinit
No WC left Zed. As recommendations go…. ‘I feel (he) will score soon’ :rofl: :wink2:
