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…

So all set thinking I might as well save the transfer
Might as well. Loads of points this week and increased options for next.
Would you play Kamara or Jimenez? Both will prob get 1 it 2 points
I’d do exactly as you have done, just hoping Kamara gets the minutes as you’d think he’ll have the better opportunities. And he’s playing at home.
Thanks
Looks good roll the transfer.
Looks good. So you prefer kane captain to Salah then
Capo?
I’m on Kane at the minute.
Yeah same
Was tempted to go with son or pogba just to try something different!
Depends on context, that sort of choice. Your OR will take a battering if it fails to come off. If it succeeds you’ll be able to tell your grandchildren about it. They’ll stare at you with innocent, adoring eyes.
But maybe in your ML nobody close to you owns Salah or Kane and so it’s a low risk strategy.
Kane or Salah for me. May sleep on it and see if any visions appear to guide my hand. Kane favourite but Salah a decent option.
Salah right this second.
Good to go?
I would play Diop ahead of Doherty. Burnley are in a bit of a death spiral at the moment. Spurs are blasting goals in for fun.
I’d play any of your bench instead of Doherty, Spurs have been ruthless as of late!
Heck, play Hamer instead of Patricio as well and pray to fantasy gods!
Haha cheers boys. I was thinking that but I stuck Dot in there just for attacking potential. It’ll probably be Diop who starts but might be cheeky and start Brooks.
Shaw vs Holebas?
Vs Doherty
Arguably the latter; not much in it.
+1
Seen some interesting team selections on here. Who should we be playing out of:
1) Doherty or WB
2) Jimenez or Kamara
hey banjo
1) doherty over WB for me
2) is kamara nailed to start? he did start the last game and feel he could be benched tomorrow. id play jimenez ahead of him tbf.
Thanks eresh. I currently have both wolves guys playing. Doherty for potential attacking returns and Jimenez for the reasons you’ve outlined. I’ve seen contradicting opinions on here tho, so thought I’d put it out to vote!
+ 1. go with your gut at the end of the day. i have kamara atm and playing him just case my defence options arent particularly that great.
evening all. was on call for work and was involved in a 2 hour long call discussion addressing a client’s issue. just hate it when retailers try to make a big fuss of small things.
anyhow, how we all doing tonight? how many of you fine chaps brought in Salah?
Work.. what’s that again!! Another 9 days off for me after 7 already!!
I’m about to, just catching up on the last few hours of comments and will quickly check twitter then the man is back!
In my line of work, I have to be on call for certain cases etc that our clients complain about. just a bad excuse for them to say your system has been compromised and for us to turn around and say your end users are the culprits not us. i only have time off from Jan 2-4th as annual leave.
anyhow, i am thinking of jumping the gun and bring salah too.. why not.. i either cry or rejoice at the end of GW20 whatever happens lol. i really envy your team value rosco.. send some over to me bruv 😉
It’s on the nose dive mate, it was 106.5 at one point 2 weeks back but I ditched Aubameyang, Alonso and Fraser and lost over £1.0! Anyway I’ve given up holding TV as clearly it wasn’t doing much for me!! Haha
