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.

Hiya,
Cant decide what to do in terms of transfers. Alonso and Sane I am thinking of taking out. (-4) to get in Hazzard and a Def (5.2)
Or should i save a transfer over?
Grizzly
Another case where you may be better off saving your transfer and going with 2 next week.
I love that squad actually. Great effort.
Well another GW gone. This one better than usual with 81 pts. Off to sleep; golf in the AM.
Can’t wait for the hectic season to end.
Great score mosc. 77 myself and delighted.
Morning all ! Think i’m doing Sane to Hazard next week but who should the priority to bring in for Sterling this week ?
A.Salah
B.Anderson
C.Other ?
If i bring Salah in the Hazard move next week would be for a hit.
Cheers.
I suspect that if you bring in salah you would have to downgrade someone else in order to get Hazard next week right? Who would that be?
Sorry fprgot to add i have 2m in the bank
Probably Jiminez down to Kamara.
Brooky
I think is get Salah in and let next week take care of itself. A captain on Hazard at home to Southampton will cancel that 4 point hit easily. 😉
Yes that is my thinking too.Was thinking of doing Hazard in this week but heard an interesting point that he may be moved back to the wing against Wan B who various wingers including Sane and Anderson have failed to get anything out of !
Get Hazard in this week instead of Salah
Yeah take the hit
Got 1.5 in Bank and 0 FT
Got Son this week, but lot’s of injuries.
Should I go with -4 pts for someone ?
Any ideas ?
Who’s on the bench?
Yeah Jack, need to know if you have cover on the bench first.
Sorry for my previous print screen
Jack
I wouldn’t have gone with Son based on the other issues you have but what’s done is done I guess.
I don’t see any defensive move paying back a -4 do I think I would leave it, or consider Rashford in for Chicarito.
I’d take a hit to fix your defence. Not normally wise but you have more than a 1 week issue. Might as well fix it now rather than take an inevitable hit later.
Rashford in could also work.
You could just make a dignified Bellerin to Digne move and park the latter in your side. And just leave it there.
But see if there’s any news about the Chic first. If he’s definitely gone for a Burton then the Rashford move is a good one (the Spurs’ game makes me shiver a bit but Man U’s fixtures around that are really good).
Morning
Below is the first draft of my WC team – Ive taken a good few from the site team, the biggest difference being that I have Hazard Richarilson and Anderson instead of Salah Sane and Martial… would love salah but it requires losing hazard and having a deadwood 5th midfielder
Would appreciate people’s thoughts on the team
I guess it is as strong as you can get sans Salah.
I couldn’t justify an active wildcard without him though sorry.
And Rashford to Carama (and play Jimenez), Felipe Anderson to Snoddy, and finally Son to Salah in two GWs from now, when he will travel to Asia anyway?
Either you do it now on a WC (but loose Son, Anderson and Rashford to worse player ahead of nice fixtures), or you get ready to save your future transfer, and take a hit in 2 GWs.
As you have Jiminez then the deadwood 5th midfielder is irrelevant.
I agree with GP’s points.
You could save yourself some money with Speroni now being 3.9 (I appreciate you have a cheap playing second goalie though). But if money’s tight, etc.
With Hennessey due back soon I’d be inclined to ditch Guaita as well.
I’ve taken a punt on Button getting the nod at Brighton but as you say, Speroni is only 3.9 if you’re happy for a non playing keeper.
