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.

Hey guys, play Lundstram or Kelly? Apart from that I guess I’m gtg?
Stats / percentages say you play Kelly in terms of what all 4 have done in terms of scoring / conceding at home / away respectively.
Tough though to leave out Sir John Lundstram
I’ve got the same problem, coys9. Every time I’ve benched Sir John he’s had a scorcher. So I think play him.
Leaning towards playin him as well since he does average 1.5 spg and 1 kp but I feel Kelly will get another cleanie
Has to be Kelly.
Think you have it right
Think i’d Stick with Lundstram. Cheers guys and best of luck! :wink2:
This is a solid team right?
Yes. Lund or Aurier? Former has more chance of a CS?
What to do with Pulisic? Give him the last chance? Or, do Jimenez > Abraham and bench Pulisic….I am anyway having bench dilemma – not getting it right last few weeks…. I have 1 FT and 0.7m ITB.
Pope (Button)
TAA, Soyun, Lunds
Mane, KDB, Alli, Maddi, Pulisic
Vardy, Mousset
BENCH: Jimenez, Kelly, Rico
You could buy Tammy and play Kelly over Mousset.
I just bought Pulisic. Granted he will be gone on a wildcard soon. He’s explosive got taken off early not many players have had more shots in the box plus look at those injuries in the Bournemouth defence
I just sold Pulisic so i could get Tammy ! 3 :biggrin:
Puli – Last 7 gws 26 points…except that 1 hatty 7 weeks back…..last 4 gws, he got 8 points…I am frustrated as I got 3 red arrows now.
Would you switch Mount or Zaha to Pulisic?
Prob sell Zaha. Chelsea should score goals this week I guess
Probably Zaha medium/long term but Pulisic for the one week punt given Bou’s injury woes.
1 FT and 0.5 ITB
Most likely a hit is on the cards for something like Tomori-Kelly.
Doubt Gabriel will shine in this one or the next few games. There are two options for replacement.
A- Rashford with the finally resurging Man U and not so bad fixtures over Christmas.
B- Hold my nose and follow the herd to bring back Tammy with the iffy games after this one.
Get Tammy and captain him Ivan.
:rofl: :hi:
I’m serious! Let’s do this again… :aikido:
He just scored a hatty
Yep, after all I’ve decided to leave the front as it is and just do the Tomori-Kelly move. Although Tammy might get a goal, I will take a risk and miss that train. Jesus could turn out to be a great deferential with a City away win against leaky Arsenal.Whatever happens I might be compensated by Kane with still relatively low ownership in what could be one of the most entertaining games with high score of something like 2-3
Pope (H-New) or Martin (A-Sou)
Who to play & bench this week ?
Play Pope.
