FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW18
Welcome to FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW18.
Lies, damned lies and statistics
61 points in GW17 saw us beat the average by 5pts but fall further down the rankings. We now stand at 76,701st – not the worst but we need to stop the rot before it sets in as that is now a run of four consecutive red arrows. Our 61 points were nicely shared throughout the team – rare clean sheets for Pope and TAA were a pleasant surprise, while assists for Mane, Vardy and Jimenez have become the norm. A Monday night late goal for Zaha helped us recover somewhat, but like many, the star of the show was again Lord Lundstram with a clean sheet, assist and 2bps. Praise the Lord!
Our GW17 Result…
Let’s go see what was decided…
Our GW18 Transfer(s)
Going into GW18 we had just the one free transfer but a bumper balance of £5.4m. Funny that, the correlation between our increasing war chest and our decline in ran…
As a good many of you are finding out this week it’s a tough one to call with any degree of confidence. We discussed letting one of our Liverpool assets go, simply because if we didn’t we would probably be looking at have zero back up on our bench. This was put to bed quickly though as one sleuth dug out the interesting notion that the midweek of GW24 was being slated for Liverpool’s rearranged game with West Ham, which is sooner than you think (Jan 28th – 30th), and so we decided to keep hold of them.
We next turned out attentions to someone who we have been eyeing up for a good while now, in the shape of KDB (chasing points much?). We were however a bit short on that one as we wanted to keep McGinn for his healthy run of fixtures and it was Cantwell who had been earmarked as the one to leave. Eventually we settled on a compromise of bringing in Son. This week’s game could yield plenty of goals and then Spurs have a decent looking Christmas schedule, and we all know how much Son enjoys this time of year.
To confirm then we have SOLD Todd Cantwell and BOUGHT Heung-Min Son
Captain – Dele Alli
This is where it got really interesting as we had a fairly well split camp with Alli, Son and Jimenez all grabbing votes. And a statistical campaign to derail the Alli supporters was started in earnest, but was quickly countered with even more outlandish claims from the Alli camp itself. Let’s just say that we had things ranging from him having never scored against Chelsea in his life; to having scored something like 23 in his last 4 games against them! We suspect that the truth is somewhere in-between…
As a compromise the Son supporter flipped and so Alli gets to wear our armband this week.

Good to go?
Not much I can do different is there?
Seems to pick itself
best of luck site team. this is me for this weekend. not sure who to bench among kelly, cantwell or targett.
I think you have it right. If anything it’s targett over cantwell. But probably not…
thank you allan. best of luck
Here comes the “Kane”. 😎
Guys. Should I do Ings to Jota? As a punt?
No, Ings has a good fixture.
+1
Thanks Frenchie/Smash. Holding then..
Constantine, I would leave Ings in. I know he blanked last week after scoring in 5 consecutive games but Villa without injured Mings will be leaky and he should get something.
As for Kane, that’s the name :good: The guy loves scoring in London derbies and he will not miss the chance to do it again :wink2:
Cheers Ivan. Didn’t consider Mings part. Hope he scores this week again. Actually, wanted a differential pick than my cup opponent this week. We have the same front three..
Ings was in my plans a couple of weeks ago but I ended up with Jesus instead. That maybe is his last week in my team as news say that Aguero is already training and his time will be limited soon.
constant I think you’re the only FPL player I know who actually cares about the cup!
Don’t forget that creating a differential works both ways.
Haha. I know initt. That’s why I want some other inputs as well.
Cup makes things more interesting. I am not going to destroy my team particularly for that reason though. But, I get what you are trying to say. Cheers mate.
BTW, you going Kane cappo too?
Yes.
Kannnnneeee.. :good:
Captain alli or kdb?
Alli this week, I guess
Evening everyone,
The original plan was to do Zaha (who will be away at Newcastle) to Martial (away at Watford) this week, which I could afford with the £1m in the bank and 1FT. Is it worth doing, or do I just hold fire?
Cheers!
Hey Swirly. I’d hold the fire mate. Zaha could score as well. Martial I’d very injury prone.
I do t think it’s worth it
Cheers, guys – will hold fire
Hi All, I hope you’re all well.
This is my team at the moment with one ft and 0 in the bank.
Am thinking Pulisic to Grealish, however spurs concede and I wonder it Pulisic will score his long overdue goal….
Thoughts please my good people.
I’ll do Pulisic to Grealish.
Pulisic will probably be liable to some form of rotation over Christmas, Grealish almost certainly won’t be, I’d make that switch.
Constantine and Init thank you both.
