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.

Would you punt on Richarlison for one week and then sell for Maddison on WC, or just go with Maddison and save a transfer….
Zed Leppelin
I meant I’m now on WC and get Richarlison now with WC and buy Maddison with FT next GW or just go with Maddison now with WC
Smash
Prob just go Mads
Zed Leppelin
You all set with your WC Smash?
Smash
Not sure I’m completely happy but it’s not changed much. Was torn between these two teams but it don’t look like Grealish is rising so I’ll be 0.1 short on one of these teams. Not sure about Gaz in goal but his fixtures are just so good.
Zed Leppelin
You could get that Ings team with Hanley instead of Kiko I suppose… Don’t know which is better but I’m on Grealish as I can’t see Ings run continuing with those fixtures and he might get injured too…
Mitro
I prefer the team with Grealish in but Ings has looked really good over the last few weeks!
IvanTheTerrible
Zed, stop trying to spoil my plans as I am getting Ings from GW 20 by hook or by crook. He is in tremendous form right now and I can’t see leaky Spurs and Lei stopping him scoring.
Smash
Yeah have to admit I’d probably prefer Ings but he does cost more. What has crossed my mind is Ramsdale in goal and getting Hanley instead of Rico in that team
Zed Leppelin
Yeah, well, for me as I’m a Saints fan it’s good enough to see him score even if he’s not in my team, so I’m a bit biased in that sense… If Ings keep on scoring and I don’t have him I’m still over the moon!
Zed Leppelin
Ralph Hasenhuttl on Danny Ings: “There are a lot of games coming and he cannot play every game.”
Eagle
That sounds much clear. I would lead towards Richarlison since Maddison will have a tough game vs LEI this week
Eagle
Reply for Zed comment #49 above
Zed Leppelin
Cheers, I’m rather torn, but might just go with Maddison as it saves a transfer, Maddison can get something at home against Pool
Mitro
Evening all
Am I set for GW19? I’m hoping I will start seeing a jump in OR!! Never been this bad before!
Eagle
Nice team Mitro seems you’re all set this week.
Mitro
Cheers Eagle! Are you set? Who’s your capo?
Eagle
Mitro I’m not entirely set yet caz I have activated my WC and the tinkering continues. Basically it all boils down to owning Kane, Trent and Dedonker vs Abraham, Digne, Richarlison. The latter allows for a very strong bench switching from 3-5-2 to 3-4-3.
Smash
I really like this team. I hate this season so know what you mean there
Mitro
Thanks smash, have you activated your WC?
Smash
Yeah it’s activated. It’s above basically on the same page
IvanTheTerrible
Smash, there are rumors going around that Gazza could lose his place to Vorm soon. Can’t remember where I’ve seen it and how true is but….
Zed Leppelin
He was awful against Chelsea
Smash
I’d be surprised at that. He will be a transfer waiting to happen it’s just those fixtures. I mean I could take Heaton but that’s a bit of a downgrade.
IvanTheTerrible
This is it, we don’t know if that will ever happen, but if it does Vorm used to be a good GK them days and is 0.3 cheaper.
IvanTheTerrible
I am slightly nervous not having Tammy in my team for this GW. Trying to calm myself with the facts that he’s blanked in the last 3 games and the upcoming fixtures are not that desirable. Plus, Southampton are improved team at late and won’t let Chelsea have a walk in the park, Ings for sure will ruin their CS.
Go Abraham → Gabriel or stick with my original plan and have 2 FT for Saturday with the 2.3 ITB :scratch_one-s_head:
Smash
He’s probably due but looking at your side I would not worry about it too much
IvanTheTerrible
Cheers Smash, that puts my mind at rest :hi:
Zed Leppelin
Well, this is the curse of the WC, you always end up finding new stuff that makes you wanna change
https://metro.co.uk/2019/12/22/gary-neville-says-jose-mourinho-will-furious-serge-aurier-11949828/
Smash
I’m still not sure on Aurier. If he keeps his place though he will be great with those fixtures
Zed Leppelin
Yeah just not sure whether he keeps it, he’s making mistakes and Jose might wanna bring someone in in January, I’m afraid he’s a transfer waiting to happen… I can get Ings over Grealish too if I downgrade him to a max 4.9m def

Think I’m gonna captain Salah. Or Vardy. Does anyone have anything to put me off?
IvanTheTerrible
It’s tough game to predict. It could be 0-0 or 3-3. On paper should be one of the Spurs assets this GW but then again, Christmas time has always been a lottery for a captain choice.
