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.

Really having bench dilemma……3 spots to be selected from Lunds, Kelly, Puli, KDB, Mousse….not having any strong rational to drop anyone. Kelly and Mousse are in good form. Lunds has gone off the boil, but then its Villa who conceded most shots. Puli has good underlying stats, but not converted at all. KDB faces my team which is leaky to the extreme. Whats your opinion?
Pope
TAA, Soyun — Lunds (AVL H), Kelly (BHA H)
Mane, Maddi, Alli, —- Pulisic (BOU H), KDB (ARS A)
Vardy, Abra, — Mousset (AVL H)
Wanton
Bench boost?
GoalMachine
Holding for DGW
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
352 with Kelly and Mousset on the bench.
Mitro
+1
GoalMachine
Thanks all….going 352 then…after that its luck.
Wanton
Hi everyone! Should I live Kelly on the bench? :scratch_one-s_head:
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Think I would yeah
GoalMachine
I have the same def. and kept the same as in your pic. I assume Kelly will get 2 or 6-8 points whereas Lunds will get 2-anything possible. Lunds has 47% ownership and Kelly 30%. I assume none will bench Lunds. Effectively we will lose 6 points in the worst case.
IvanTheTerrible
Just did Tomori-Kelly, but in my case had no choice as otherwise was Dunk or Rico.
Gavy
Lunds in the only 1 you could think of moving. The rest are dead lock ins for me!
not sure who’s more likely for the cs. But with his midfield position lunds tips it.
Wanton
Cheers, lads. I was thinking about benching KDB, but just don’t have the guts 😯
Mitro
Morning
Team for GW17; good to go?
There could be a capo switch just before deadline!
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
:yes:
eresh12
Go for mane mitro
Mitro
Just the lunchtime kick off worries me if he blanks!
eresh12
His stats v Watford are not bad. He has scored/assisted in every game he played for pool. He scored 4 goals in his last 2 home games against them.
I feel he will be on the scorecard. It’s a good differential capo
Wanton
Eresh, Mane did score two goals last season against Watford, but didn’t score in 2017/18. Salah scored 4 goals back then.
eresh12
ur right wanton. meant to say 4 goals in his last 3 at anfield v watford.
these stats below are corret:
Salah has been involved in seven goals in four PL appearances against Watford (6 goals, 1 assist).
Mané has been involved in eight goals in five games against them for the Reds (5G, 3A).
Firmino has been involved in eight in his last six against the Hornets (5G,3A).
either of salah and mane cappo could outscore vardy.
Wanton
The stats are great, but I’m with Mitro on having capo in the first game of a GW. Then again, I agree with you that it’s a great differential this week. And now, I’m super confused :rofl:
eresh12
many said that last season when pool played bournemouth on a 1230pm game. salah scored a hatty then 😉
Mitro
Think I will be going with Mane as capo?
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
2 free transfers and 1.6mln in the bank.
What do we reckon?
Mitro
Firmino to Tammy?
eresh12
Firmino to Tammy or rash?
GoalMachine
Jimenez to Tammy this week….next week Firmino to Rashford.
I did Jimenez > Tammy…initially thought of holding Jim for Gw18, but then sold him because of Tammys huge ownership 37%… to reduce the risk.
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Looking at moves such as these lads. I’m not sure which yet to go for.
Thanks very much all.
eresh12
No worries GP. Hope more capo mane like you
Wanton
Firmino hasn’t scored at Anfield this season.
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Oh I know!
He has assisted 4 times though and I’ll be honest, have a blindspot for him. Superb player.
Wanton
Superb doesn’t translate into FPL points :wink2:
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Hence the blindspot!
He’s never far away though.
Wanton
Good luck with whatever you decide to do :yes:
dannyXfactor

Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)

igy4

Zed Leppelin

eresh12

Zed Leppelin
I dare not to say :rofl:
IvanTheTerrible
One thing we know Zed that it’s not gonna be Vardy. You declared this a couple of days ago :biggrin:
Zed Leppelin
Yes I did :popcorn:
igy4
One year I went out because there were lots of cancelled games due to snow! The one game that went ahead my opponent had a player from!
Carolyn
I have never got past the first round, so it will be amazing to get into the second round.
IvanTheTerrible
I am playing against team with rank 5,568,245 on 0 transfers so far.
As always, those are the kind of teams you are losing :no:
