FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW2
Welcome to FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW2. What a nice start to the season with seven out of our eleven starters providing returns. We ended on 95 points which landed us about 130k in the overall standings. It is good to see all the hard work of coming up with a team payoff. Pay no attention to the fact that we got ridiculed for our team when we first put it out, just know that we corrected it and that the person responsible for picking Ceballos was punished, one less doughnut for him at the next committee meeting.
At the keeper position we got a cool 8 points from Pope, one little detail that many may have missed, he had a key pass in the fixture vs Saints. Why buy Ederson when you can have Pope in your side passing for possible assists.
We went with a back four and two of our players brought home the goods. Our LFC defenders lost their clean sheet to something named Pukki, luckily though, Van Dijk was able to score to offset some of that pain. Robbo on the other hand didn’t get any returns and it did cause us a bit of pain to see TAA deliver an assist, but at least our defender actually looks capable of defending, hopefully Klopp sees that also and benches that no good Alexander-Arnold next fixture. Digne was also in our side and while he didn’t get any attacking returns, he did provide us with a clean sheet, so job done. Our last defender was Walker-Peters and he got no returns because he plays for Spurs and they always give up a goal somehow, someway, which begs the question, why is he in our team? See Ceballos, same committee guy, another doughnut lost for him.
Our midfield delivered big time!! Captain Salah busted out a 12 pointer that was doubled to 24, that was followed by a hat trick from our friend (friend, because he is in our team) Raheem Sterling. A hat trick that could have been five, if Kun was a better teammate and if Var didn’t exist in the PL. New man McGinn did not let us down, despite him being transferred in late into our side, he was handed a start and he rewarded us with a goal that allowed us to get seven more points. That’s great stuff there, hope our transfers work out like that all season long. The last spot in the our midfield belonged to Ayoze Perez and unlike his mates, he was unable to come up with the goods, only banking us three points.
Harry Kane and Diogo Jota was our preferred strike force. Thankfully Harry had a wonderful end vs Aston Villa, with a brace late in the game that also won him the three bonus and made his total haul balloon up to 13 points. The same can’t be said for Jota as he was subbed off on the 75th minute mark and denied the opportunity to also save his game-week. He did however provide us with some comedic relief falling over in the box by himself squandering a decent chance for Wolves and on a different occasion sending another chance wide of goal with an attempt that will have some owners wondering what the hell was that.
All in all, it was a great GW for the site team with our three premium players all making the fpl dream team, so for now, we are getting the kind of bang we need from our biggest wage earners. Enough of GW1, let us see what we are thinking for GW2 and make sure to check back before the deadline, because we might just change our mind… again!!
Our GW1 Team
Our GW2 transfer/s: NONE
Exciting it may not be but we are pragmatic if nothing else and with no major concerns for GW2 we are happy enough to sit on our hands and have 2 free transfers in GW3 to play with and do a bit more gardening if needs be, with more tools at our disposal to do so.
Ahead of GW2 though we had a couple of selection dilemmas to address. With Spurs unlikely to keep a clean sheet KWP has been banished to the bench (best place for him) and big John Lundstrom has been promoted to the starting XI. Actually, we have no idea if he’s big or not! The rest of the team picked itself so we were clearly waffling when we said we had a couple of selection dilemmas.
Captain – Mo Salah
Despite a tough 120 minutes in Istanbul in the heat we reckon our Egyptian will be good to go on Saturday away at Saints. It’s not as if the heat will have been a shock to him (see his aforementioned origin) and it’s not as if a midweek game will have been either (see most weeks in the CL).
Should he suddenly come over all heat stroked and tired (he won’t) then Sterling will fill in for him as vice.

Any of the paid sites such as fantasty football fix or fantasy football hub worth it? Already get great advice on here so not sure what else I would need
I wouldn’t waste your money.
Bit of a scam if you ask me
Never used them
i know my mate paid for FFS scout last year and read up loads of stuff and analysis where as i didn’t get much time to research and read up because of work. In our 38 team league he finished 23rd and i was 4th
:good:
I wouldn’t dismiss those sites – presumably you’re talking about Scout as well – out of hand. They were probably founded out of a love for the game, rather than with profit in mind (I have no idea, though). And on one level I find the industry that’s sprung up around fantasy football quite fascinating.
Anyway, I think a lot comes down to how much you want to pay for the Opta stats because that’s when you have to dig into your pocket. Personally I find that most of the data is out there anyway – if not neatly displayed in a table, or on a heat map, then it’s in someone’s comment; I find that the basicish stats provided by the main site are usually enough for me.
You may find the paying sites offer some sort of trial period, so you could dip your toe in the water that way.
One thing I personally steer clear of completely now are the podcasts – someone at FFF pointed me towards the ones on Scout, and I know there are numerous others. While on one level I’m sure most if not all of the pundits are giving up their time for free (and get a load of flak for their pains) I did at times either a) start nodding off or b) seriously questioning my sanity in watching those things. However I know some people do get a lot from them and I’m sure there are some excellent tips. There was one quite witty bloke on the Scout podcast who seemed to get the balance right between obsession and not taking it completely seriously. He seemed to recognise the absurdity of it all.
Guys am I good to go here, I think I’ll roll the ft.
This might help
Yeah, good to go mate, roll it!!! :good:
Yep looks good
Thanks guys
Keep rolling rolling rolling
Hi Everyone,
Hope you all well and had a good week. i played my wild card as mentioned in an earlier post. I had some good feedback which helped me no end and i’ve made a bunch of changes. I’m going to change Aub to Kane next game week and obviously Adrian won’t always be a starter so will change him once allison is fit.
Thank you for the article, been very very helpful.
Hi Happy Hammer,
I missed the earlier conversation. I’m curious – not criticising – why did you play your WC?
I like that reshaped squad either way. When it comes to Adrian leaving, what happens if all the other 4.5mln goalkeepers have risen in price and he hasn’t?
Advisable I think to keep a little slush fund for any emergencies.
AMN to a 4.5 I think would be handy.
Adrian is out now as well!
That’s not confirmed but yeah I wouldn’t now risk it.
Heaton I think Happy Hammer.
Thanks GP and kickers for the advice. Real shame about Adrian, was hoping he would be a cheeky way into liverpool defence for a few weeks. Will change Adrian for another 4.5m
The reason for the wild card is that i picked my team more or less as FF started again and then i went on holiday for a few weeks with family in a very poor internet area and i completely forgot to make any changes. My team got 55 points but was missing kane/salah/stirling and had allison in goal. To do the transfers one game week at a time would have left me too far behind as would take 6-7 weeks.
The lesson for next season is to get the expensive players in first, if they don’t perform its easier to downgrade in price.
Fair enough hammer.
Concentrate more next pre-season!

Jester from Leicester :yes:
Really looking forward to the snooker season really kicking in with the first of the Triple Crowns coming (well not so) soon :excited:
Am thinking Barkley to McGinn? Or just roll it?
Cheers
Kickers,
I would roll it and have 2FT next week mate.
Cheers gallant
Roll it. You have no fires to put out, and you never know when the s*it will hit the fan :sfan: and two weeks of data is twice as good as one.
Hey folks,
I am thinking of selling Sokratis and KWP over the next two weeks for a Chelsea and Leicester defender, only issue is, which to bring in first?
They play each other this weekend, and I had slightly favoured a Chelsea cb (I only have 5m to spend). However, I feel like I shouldn’t given we don’t know who gets dropped for Rudiger. Chelsea also played 120 minute, so we (Leicester) have more chance of scoring, theoretically.
So, I am thinking Soyuncu for KWP…
What do we think?
Cheers!
Use Lundstram instead of KWP and assess those moves next week?
Had considered – but then Sokratis would be sold then either way, and KWP may well too if Aurier is back!
Maybe I’m over thinking it…
I think you are.
Strip it right back to basics.
Do you have a serviceable and good team for this week?
Yes you have.
You’re fine without a transfer.
