FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW19
Going around in circles…
Welcome to FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW19. We are beginning to think one of us ran over a black cat recently, and declined to declare it. In case you missed it we sold Cantwell last week and brought Son. In a word then… d’oh!
As well as that particular 11 point swing in the wrong direction we lost poor John McGinn early doors, to add to having already lost Tyrone Mings the week before. And suddenly our best laid plans are starting to to look a bit tattered. Elsewhere Pope and Lundstram brought us welcome relief with a clean sheet apiece, and Vardy and Jimenez got us a couple of goals. But that was all and so we ended up with a disappointing 37 points and yet another red arrow as we now slide down to 110,841st.
Our GW18 Result…
Let’s go see what was decided…
Our GW19 Transfer(s)
Which, which, which…
We had 1 free transfer and nothing in the bank with which to fix the above mess so we had to get a bit creative. The first suggestion being that we simply bring Cantwell back in, for McGinn. Which felt like going around in circles, chasing points that we’d just voluntarily thrown away. Which is when the creativity kicked in because this opened up the discussion of future moves and the possibility of (finally) getting KDB in next week. Which lead us nicely onto selling Son to raise funds and we quickly came to the conclusion that if we sold him this week for Grealish then next week we could afford KDB for Zaha.
It’s bang on the money that one though so we need to either watch the price rises closely and go early or simply accept that it isn’t to be and be consoled with Zaha facing up to Saints instead.
To confirm then we have SOLD Son and BOUGHT Jack Grealish
Captain – Tammy Abraham
This was hardly conclusive and mutiny was threatened, toys were thrown but anarchy was avoided….we think. It went like this – we had four different suggestions and a no-show. Mane, Alli, Lundstram and Tammy were all put forward before the Lundstram backer (you can likely guess who that was) succumbed to appease the Tammy supporter. On current form, Tammy will emerge as a late substitute as Lundstram grabs another haul.

Thanks guys nice read.
Still haven’t done my transfers yet.
Got 2

What u think?
Did I mention the other day about saving a transfer and perhaps signing a better alternative to Rico?
If not, that.
Can’t remember gp sorry had busy couple of days.
Wife gave birth to twins.
Think you said holgate might make that move.
Holgate rings a bell – definitely the Rico route though I think.
But sod that! CONGRATULATIONS! What a Christmas this is going to be. Boys/Girls/Both?
Wonderful news, congratulations to you and your wife.
Thanks guys 2 girls
s, that’s superb news, many congratulations to you and your wife, hope they are all well :bravo:
Great news S, congratulations mate.
I have twins that were 21 in the summer.
I must admit, a few tough tough years to begin with.
An organised routine makes life so much easier.
Jamie
Congrats, s! :bop:
Cheers all
Congratulations S
S, first of all, congratulations! That is huge news.
Secondly, you have two situations to attend here. Ok, three, given that they are twins
One is that you won’t have the time or the patience to work your team out in these next few days. Worry not, we are here for you.
The other is the weekly selection headache that is your current front 8. You also probably need to consider replacing Tomori as he seems to have lost his spot with Rudiger around. I know he played vs Spurs but that was a change in tactic from Lamps for that specific game. You can always gamble this week of course given that if he doesn’t play Soysauce comes in, but, looking ahead, I’d use one of the free transfers to sell Zaha to a bench fodder (say Dendoncker) and try to work your way from Tomori to TAA/Robbo next week, if that’s feasible.
Cheers
congratulations s, excellent news mate
Congratulations S. Great news.
I would use the cash for Zaha to Maddison, but given the fixture you may want to wait a week.
Although I just realised it would give you a benching headache.
whats the overall sell value of the site team? 102 mil ?
No
It’s not up for sale.
Yet!
Site team did you consider a -4 to guarantee getting KDB in? I guess it’s unlikely to pay off short term so probably wise to avoid.
Looks good though!
It was suggested by one and rejected swiftly.
Would have meant a -4 to bench one of the front 8, didn’t make much sense to me.
Official…Son’s appeal turned down. No surprise.

1FT, 3.2M itb. Next GW I play WC, so can make this FT adventurous.
1. Pope to Pickford?
2. Zaha to a 10M midfielder (wish KDB was in reach, 0.4M short)
3. Dendo to Cantwell, play 5 mids and bench Ings (don’t like this. Ings on bench is calling for trouble)
4. Mane to Salah (very sideways, might be punished)
5. Save it. Feck the FT. Waste it. Give a finger to FPL Tower.
