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.

  1. Good to go lads ??

  2. Good to go?

    Took out Mount and Tomori for Grealish and Lundstram.

  3. What to do? Wanted Rashford, but totally bankrupt. Can sell Pulisic. I have 1 FT and 0 ITB.
    Pope, [Button]
    Kelly, Lunds, Rico, [Soyun, TAA]
    KDB, Alli, Maddi, Pulisic, [Mane]
    Vardy, Abraham, Mousset

    • Pulsic to Grealish would get you some spends for a Rash

    • May be then Pulisic to Grealish or James is the only way and forget Rashford.
      Looks like everyone is benching Pool assets and not selling.

      • GM, I don’t see any urgency to bring Rashford yet. This will be a tricky game and United will be lucky if they can get a point in what could be a low scoring score of 1-1. Of course, I hope for a better result for Man U but can’t see it happening tomorrow.

  4. Lundstram for captain anyone?

  5. Hey guys!
    2FT & 0.3ITB. I don’t know what to do here…

    Any suggestions?
    TIA

    • Tomori > Aurier and play him. Save the other FT.

      • Can’t afford it. If I sell Tomori I’d end up with 4.9 ITB.

    • Depends what value you have in Mane on whether to move him to KDB, Sterling or Alli. Grealish in for Mount is an idea.

      • I can sell Mane for 12 and Mount for 6.3.

        • I’d prob sell both then and bring Mané or Salah back later

        • Thanks Smash! My only struggle is that there isn’t an obvious replacement for Mane this GW as the usual suspects are playing against each other.

  6. Would you captain Rashford from this bunch?

    • I think there’s a case for Rashford, Alli, KDB and Vardy

      • Thanks for making that easier Smash! :rofl:

      • If we have a repeat of last year game when Spurs won 3-1 over Chelsea and the goals came from Kane, Son and Alli everyone will be happy smile

        • How about a 3-1 Chelsea win now that would be a lot better :yes:

        • Haha, it’s possible but the crowd will be upset as in this weird round most will be relying on Spurs players to bring something.

    • I think yes
