FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW20
Welcome to the FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW20. The trouble with a wildcard team is often not who you bought; rather who you didn’t. There’s always those regrets, swept aside on to the floor of the ‘drawing-board’ room. Not so much the ones who catch your eye when you walk around afterwards wistfully kicking up the dust, seeing names like Wilson, Alli or Aubameyang peek through the remnants, more the ones like Felipe Anderson and Hazard, who still seem to sparkle through it, almost winking at you in mock disgust of what could have been that week. But alas, we couldn’t have everyone we wanted. If we did we’d have had a midfield of epic proportions… but the last time we checked 1-8-1 wasn’t a valid formation.
All this isn’t to say we had a bad WC week, on the contrary, we managed a very respectable 75 points, which could have easily been 84 or indeed 90, with either a bit more luck or better team / substitute selections! Our highlights; TAA got us 11 points via a clean sheet, an assist and 2 bonus points, Son got us 13 with 2 goals and a bonus point and Kane got us a goal. Our captain Salah got us a goal , an assist and a bonus point, which we were particularly happy with, especially having debated late on whether or not to listen to some twitter rumours that he may be benched, but suffice to say we decided against it. The rest simply graced us with appearance points, more or less, apart from Martial who went AWOL completely. That’s the one which probably p*ssed us off more than anything, as Felipe was in his spot originally…
Worry not though, that’s why we have a bench. Now then, usually the man rushing off said bench, like some superhero with a clean sheet on his back and a customary 2 bonus points under his arm, is Wan-B. And indeed he was, as if on cue. We normally rush to greet Wan-B like some long lost friend but this week we’d have happily elbowed him in the ribs and then stamped on him in order to welcome the little weakling bringing up the rear behind him; for that was Lucas Digne, weighed down with 17 points. No wonder he was flagging.
All in all our 75 points saw us 16 points above the average with a jump in rank of 5k to 79,735th overall.

This weeks transfer decision(s) – SAVE
We’ll admit that we may have laboured the intro a bit there, but that’s perhaps because there’s not a fat lot to tell you in the transfer section; as we aren’t making one. We can tell you that there was a huge debate over who starts up front for Man United this week. We can tell you that said debate spanned no less than 4 hours. We can tell you said debate involved 4 grown men who were supposed to be off work spending time with their families, and that 2 of them aren’t even Man United fans. And that by the end of it none of them were any the wiser!
Our Captain is Mo Salah
Perhaps somewhat more interestingly our captain vote was fairly unanimous. As was Son for our vice captaincy. Be it Salah’s return to form, or Arsenal’s return to defensive shakiness, we can but hope some combo of the two meet up this week for our captain.
Our team in full…

Thanks to our friends Follow @ff_surgery and please give them a follow.
I moved Sane and Sterling on for Salah and Pogba so you just know they are both going to punish me this week. Anyway, good to go here? Salah or Kane for cappo?
Nice.Considering something similar myself !
Its funny Brooky but this year as good as this team looks on paper it can just go so badly wrong. I think FPL has broken me this Season lol.
Everton
Thanks for the press conference round ups Smash.
Invaluable work.
Thanks very much Smash!
I want to save my transfer. Am I good to go?
I think you can save and play like that.
Great team, very good to go!
I’d fancy Kamara (over Jiminéz) this weekend and I’d certainly want him 1st on the bench.
Thanks folks. Great point about Kamara, I’ll make an adjustment!
I have both and I’m playing Jimenez I think
Yep good to go
Thanks Smash
Can’t really make up my mind on who to bench this weekend. Is this team good to go?
I think you have it right
Thanks…
Guess we can expect some rotation this weekend so maybe the bench order will be kinda important….
Yeah I’m not sure who to play WB or Doherty
No clean sheet for any of them. A tiny chance of an offensive point for Doherty maybe…
Evening everyone,
Have once again put together a stats table (sorted by form) of players’ records against the opposition they’re facing this gameweek, when it comes to Premier League meetings.
Same rules still apply where players like Aubameyang have been ommitted because they either haven’t played that team before or have and didn’t manage an assist or a goal.
Cheers Swirly. Of those with a reasonable sample size, Salah and Sterling looking good.
Many thanks for your time doing that Swirly. Think that’s made up my mind on my transfers anyway if not the captain quite yet.
Great work, Nick, cheers! That makes Hazard a far less appealing captain: 5 matches played at Selhurst Park in the PL and not a single return.
cheers swirly. this is very helpful. i am tempted to get salah in. will be for a hit so need to figure out who to take out.
