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…

Arsenal news
Just saw this flash up, think Rambo will be given the nod tomorrow!
Yeah Ozil must be finished
Do you think Hazard and Digne in for Sane and Robbo for -4 is worth it?
I like these moves in general; but I would not take a hit for them… Except maybe if you are convinced Sane won’t play.
is it ‘only’ the speculation of the rotation on Sané or do we have any gossip that he won’t play?
Haven’t heard anything to say Sane will be rested but always a possibility with City. Just thinking about fixtures over the next few weeks. I think the pair could out score them
Thoughts on this potential wc team (not mine) ?
Plan is to punt on Deeney for now and swap him to Ings in a few weeks.Doherty can go to T.A.A in a couple of weeks to double up on Pool at the back.
Or
I could do Robbo to Trent or Richarlison to Pereyra to find the cash to turn Pogba into Son ?
Any thoughts,ideas,criticisms welcome !
Is this ‘friend’ being chased by Rhinos?!
Currently sunning himself on a beach the lucky git !
Looks good as it is
Cheers Smash.
I like it! I like it a lot! I might have to copy it to some extent 😉
They say imitation is the best form of flattery ! 😉
hey guys,
i see that everybody is trying to bring Salah in, while i’m toying with the idea of offloading him for Haz. what do you think?
or should i find an other way? maybe for Sané as a hit?
cheers
I would probably roll the transfer mate and get him in next GW.
+1
+2
thanks a lot guys, i’m convinced then 😉
Evening everyone. Simple, quick vote. Which of one do I sell for Haz?
Sterling or Sane?
Sané
Not that simple though. I don’t think Sterling is worth that money
There are very alluring <8m midfielders around at the moment. Pogba, Richarlison, Martial, Siggy, Anderson.
So one vote against Sterling and one against Sane.
I need a deciding vote people haha
Sell Sterling
There’s the tiebreaker haha
Sterling
Is this good to go?
I really like it mate. Just not sure on Kola’s fitness right now.
I’ve burnt my free transfers for the week so I’ll have to cross my fingers on that one
Well then yeah team looks really nice mate!
