We need to talk about Kevin… again!
It’s amazing what a difference 1 solitary player can make to a GW. With 7 of our players, including our captain, gifting us just 21 points we were going into the Liverpool game staring down the barrel of yet another disappointing red arrow. Alexander-Arnold surpassed this on his own with an amazing 24, and Mane chipped in with an assist too. The outlier from all this was Alli who had earlier grabbed us a goal. For once our latest signing also did something as Grealish got us an assist too. In the late game Jimenez got us a goal and an assist leaving us on a total of 70 points for the week which meant a fair jump back up the ranks to some degree of acceptable decency; we gained about 50,000 places and now sit in approximately 60,000th according to some ‘outside of FPL sources’ (at the time of writing the actual official ranks are still updating, but you get the gist; we are in the green).

Going into GW20 we have 1 free transfer and £3.7m in the bank. Let’s go see what was decided…
Our GW20 Transfer(s)
Some things just aren’t meant to be. On at least 3 separate occasions this season we have talked about / saved up money for bringing Kevin into our team but for whatever reason it’s just never happened. Well, make that 4! Last time out we stated our intention to buy him this week for Zaha but we were fully aware that we were leaving ourselves vulnerable as it was dead on the money. A -4 to secure it early was discussed but at that point it made little sense as it meant benching one of a seemingly strong front 8. We did however also agree that if we were scuppered then we would still be happy enough to proceed with Zaha away to the Saints and simply hope that it was a blessing in disguise and that Pep would rescue us with his rotational habits.
And sure enough a pesky overnight price change means that we are yet again left to talk about Kevin for another day.
To confirm then we have HELD our transfer
Captain – Sadio Mane
Not the easiest fixture on paper this week, but almost certainly the strongest team, and having seen Liverpool make Leicester look like Lincoln we are hoping Mane can make Wolves look like Wycombe.
For the record he got 3 votes, Vardy got 1 and Alli got mentioned along the way too, mainly as a vice.

75 for me after last night.
I have this today:
2FT and 1.4M cash
What I do??
Carolyn
That’s a great score GP, well done.
You could move out Pieters for someone like Webster, Holgate. Or maybe you could move out Mount for Maddison but might be too much Leicester.
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Thanks Carolyn.
I think it’s safest (and sensible) to tidy up one of Mings/Pieters and save a transfer.
Mount to Maddison was considered but that puts me on to 3 Leicester again and I had moved away from that. Need also now to see how they react to the Liverpool result.
s
I’d sort out pieters or Mings.
Holgate rico Targett maybe
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Seems to be the consensus s, cheers.
Carolyn
s, how are the twins doing?
s
Alright thanks Carolyn but they don’t sleep at night
lol nightmare
Mitro
Bring in kelly for Mings?
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Kelly is an option too Mitro.
Thanks.

Good morning guys. Just came back from holiday and have not been on top of things. Just transferred in TAA after taking him out prior to GW18. Gutted to miss out on his monster haul. 0FT and 0.1itb. Am I gtg?
Carolyn
Yeah looks good.
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Absolutely fine.
colonial
OK GP you beat be in the h2H here is a question:
This is my WC team
Ramsdale. Mc Govern
rico AA Lumndstrum Digne Sayuncu
Grealish Salah KDB Alli Cantwell
Vardy Ings Jimenez
Do I make last 2 changes Jimenez to Maupay and Cantwell to Traore
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
colonial,
I don’t follow h2h leagues so I wasn’t aware of that! (I should pay more attention I guess)
Don’t take out Jimenez! I don’t know what else this guy has to do to convince some people. I think Cantwell is reasonable. By the looks of it you only need four midfielders usually so Cantwell is perfect price for that first sub role.
colonial
It was in FF247 this week
OK you have what I first went with and that will stay. Many thanks
Carolyn
Stick with Jiminez.
coys9
Thanks Carolyn , GP. Best of luck this week!
Carolyn
Morning all
I have 1 ft and 4.5 in the bank, thinking of moving out alli for Salah or rashford out for aguero.
What you think.
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Carolyn,
With three home games out of four and with a chance to get him on a free, I’d go for Salah.
The slight concern over Alli too would tip that in my favour.
Mitro
+1
Carolyn
Thanks guys
Mitro
Morning
Not feeling hopeful for this GW after I did a -8 the other night (drunk and angry)
This is my team for GW20; good to go?
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Firstly, the team looks fine.
What was the -8 out of curiosity?
Mitro
This
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
I love those three players coming in though.
Carolyn
Drunk, angry transfers, been there.
Looks good I am sure you will get those points back
Mitro
It’s been a while but I need to do something to turn my season around! Never been this bad before!
kickers
Hi all On a WC and just thinking have I got too many Leicester players? Should I downgrade Maddison to grealish and upgrade elsewhere ? Cheers
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Grealish is a great option and that does seem on over reliance on Leicester.
I’d look to upgrade Pope as GK for definite. Far better options than him I think.
kickers
Cheers
kickers
GK wise I did have Henderson but thought fixtures weren’t great. Should I return to him or another option ?
kickers
Ramsdale any good ? Looks ok on fixtures. Never been one to go big on keeper!
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
I would trust Sheffield United more than Burnley so far.
Guaita too is an option.
joanne
Hope you have all have a great Christmas xx
I’m just losing the plot this season so I desperately need help with this WC team if you have any advice please xxx
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
FIRST make sure to actually hit the WILDCARD button! 😯
Pope can go – Burnley aren’t the Burnley of old and face a lot of big hitters shortly.
Defence is fine and midfield generally OK too. Could make a case to go KDB to Salah via Kane to Jimenez or Tielmans to Alli and Kane to Jimenez
joanne
Thanks Gallant, do you not think Kane is worth keeping then? X
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
He might be. Just think Jimenez and Salah may be better bang for your buck.
joanne
Does this look better? Worried I might regret taking KDB out, always had Salah for as long as I can remember so do feel better having him in, not having Mané was killing me though!
