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…

Hello all, had a pretty decent gw with 79 points. I have 2 FT, was thinking Sterling and Martial to Pogba and Son. I know Son only has 3 games left but in current form I feel I need him for those 3 games. Is Pogba to Martial a bit sideways? My fear is Martial will be vying for minutes with Sanchez who has returned to training, and Lingard, Rashfor and Lukaku.
Or Sterling and Hojberg to Son and Felipe Anderson?
I like the Son and Felipe one.
Would you play five midfielders and rotate Rondon and Jimenez I imagine?
Yeah I would play the mids every game and rotate between 3/4 at the back. Prob 4 at the back this week. When Son leaves I’d prob downgrade and upgrade Rondon.
I like that plan then.
I like this plan better too Dicky.
Sterling to Hazard for me.
Hi all here the team at things stand. Use the Ft. Is chica to rashford worth a hit?
Have 0.9 itb so need to make the move before price changes.
Yes, I think it’s worth taking that hit. Chicharito looks set to get only limited gametime with Arnie coming back, and Rashford has good fixtures… unless he loses his place to Lukaku
Cheers gkw. Hes worth a punt I think it’s a good gamble
It may well be worth it Gavy.
Rashford is good for the next couple of months if he plays more often than not.
Just made the move
let’s hope he plays now
Evening
This is currently my team for GW20, good to go?
Looks ace Mitro.
What have you done this week?
I did Anderson to Son Boxing Day night – was going to do sterling but I thought I would give him this GW to redeem himself!
I’d play Wan-B instead of Kolasinac
Cheers gkw, i was actually tempted to do a -4 and bring in Digne
Hi guys! Any idea how to fix my team? The problems are Patricio, Doherty, Bednarek, Fraser and Laccazette – they have all though matches this week.
1 FT 0,5 in bank.
Thanks to all comments.
I have the same problem with Laca. Contemplating on doing him to Arnie or Rash. But I dont like Rash chances to play when Lukaku is back
Laca to Rash and Cam/Fraser to Anderson work?
WC activated.
Am I good to go?
Looks very good to me.
Looks good. Personally I’d play Kamara over Jimenez and have him 1st sub.
Interesting maybe I’ll do that
Thanks
Evening guys
Hope you all had a fattening Xmas..as I have
So I’m not too happy with my 62 points last GW… I want to make some changes especially around Firminio
I have 2FT and 1.5M ITB
What do you suggest??
Thanks
Firmino to Aubameyang?
Alternatively, Alonso+Firmino–>Kane+Luiz
Now that I think about it, the money from Alonso’s tranfer would be most helpful improving either your 4th mid, or your 2nd defender.
So I would go for Firmoni–>Auba now, and next GW
* either Alonso+Diangana/Hobjberg–>TAA+Snoddy…
* or Alonso+Bennet/Fenenda–>TAA+Digne.
Vinci… great choices..
Thanks
Sterling to Son and Firmino to Kane work? Bit eggs in one basket but I’m not convinced Sterling plays and you’d jumping on the form team.
I think that will defs work..
Son has been on fire aswell
Downgrade Slonso and get Kane
