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.

Alli or Sterling for two weeks?
Alli. May be for future games as well.
Save or…..
Save. Nice team that, Init – should do particularly well when Spurs have their good upcoming fixtures.
Thanks Swirly, I was beginning to think we’d been abandoned!
McGinn to
Grealish
Considered that strongly.
I would recommend it strongly as would most Villa fans.
Good call Cookie, you’re running my team well this year! :rofl: :drinks:
I say: Mane-»Sterling-»Salah
Seems overkill to end up at square 2.
It takes advantage of Sterling having a game and better-ish fixtures in the next few. The Sterling->Salah move doesn’t have to be right away. I did Salah->Sterling with a view to buy Salah back as and when.
Hi init,
You have one non playing liverpool player.
Three Leicester away to Manchester city (like most managers).
Three spurs at home to two Chelsea (like most managers).
I fear a tough game week for you but we are all probably in the same position.
Dare you bring in some man United coverage like rashford for example.
Jamie
No :no:
Ok, now its between Son or Lucas Moura!!!
Is that for a transfer in or for capo?
transfer in
Son
Son easy
Thanks Smash and DMC.
Son it is.
Just need to decide on my captain, between Son, Alli and Kdb
Decided to keep my two liverpool players in cold storage in preparation for the double game week later in the season.
Down to the bare bones with only 11 fit players.
Armband in rashford.
Jamie
Good luck Jamie
Thanks dmc.
Is this good to go? I sold Janmaat for Kelly so any further moves would mean a hit!
It is what it is. You bite whatever bullets may come in your way this week and move on. I wouldn’t take a hit no.
Looks good to me Igy. Many common players like most teams. So, either fly high or crash, together :rofl:
Think I’m all set. Wildcard probably in the last week
Captaining against your team? 😉
Yeah I thought I’ve only got one Spurs player, I have double City which is more than most, double Chelsea so I should be happy regardless :popcorn:
