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 vs Son for captain…
Son more explosive and trustworthy?
Alli has a great record vs Chelsea?
No love for rashford? Son from the 2
As a united fan I’m not sure I trust us against a team that will sit back
Son
He’s burnt me before and Allis record though…
Been laughing at a work colleague all week who went out of the cup to this team! Overall points is astounding!
How is -2131pts not even close to being the last ranked team
xD
Must be on a daily cash H2H league which does not consider Hits.
Second attempt at my WC. Any thoughts?
AK
Happy benching one of that front eight every week yeah?
Someone like Cantwell would be my eighth man. Semi reliable.
Good point. Cantwell to Maddison would also leave me some funds to try and get Salah back. Don’t think I’ll want to be without him for too long.
How about Salah/Mane?
Yeah I’m trying to find a way of getting Salah in the next week or two.
Your WC team is very evenly balanced, you need at least one cheap as chips bench fodder in the front 8 to be able to get Salah/Mane I think, the team is too balanced for that at the moment, I would have a cheapo in there and maybe leave enough in the bank for a straight swap from someone to Salah/Mane next week… This is the reason I am WCing today after the deadline!
which one better for gw 18, pope or ryan?
Ryan for me but I hate keeper rotation for that reason
+1
Budget keepers are often better to have when the fixtures are tough. CS’s are always rare among them but the save points are not…
Ryan I think.
C on Rash for me right now but I have a bad feeling there. Vardy could very well score a few against city couldnt he?
Yeah he could, he’ll have loads of counterattacks as City are going to press all the time, so yeah he’ll get chances to score
I feel that ManU might see watford as 3 easy points. That’s never any good…. I have a better feeling with vardy. So not totaly stupid then?
I hope you are right Allan but I see Watford-Man U as a low score 1-1 and the goals could come from anyone.
Yeah have to admit I fancy Vardy to get a goal
I’ve changed it now. Have to admit that i’m a bit nervous…
Hey guys. How is everybody doing? This is my team. Who should I cap? KdB, Rash or?
:blink:
😯
Nevermind too late.
Which way did you go Raz? Rashford seems most popular.
Personally I went Alli
When I noticed the the deadline finished I actually knew that wasn’t the one I wanted. Lost track of time. But whatever. Doesn’t matter anyway. Good luck. :rofl:
