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.

Morning all, I’m on my WC:
A or…?
B?
Feels weird WCing and not have a City mid in but I reckon Son is a strong alternative.
A for me I think as Jimenez is much better regardless of opposition to Kamara
What should I do guys? 2 FTs. Think I’ll hold on to City players for one more week. Any suggestions?
Last call
Got rid of Anderson for Lingard in the last round. He might be benched with Lukaku’s return. Do I get Felipe back or leave it as it is and try to get Salah next week with 2 FT and 1.5 ITB?
Stick Ivan, United could put a few past Bournemouth
Cheers AK. He can still do something off the bench, done it many times in the past. I will need the 2 FT for Tuesday.
I really wouldn’t be surprised if he did. That’s kinda been my advice to Lacazette owners as well who want Salah.
I am holding Lingard this week and then decide on which UTD player to pick for a longer term. Why did you overkill in the first place with 3 attackers?
Well GM, I thought it was a good idea at the time. No more Mourinho shenanigans, great fixtures and the so called revival period. I wanted to do the early bird thing but Pogba who I least like surprised me badly 😆
That’s true. We’ll find out tomorrow what Ole’s plan is. Especially, the Martial/Rashford situation.
Afternoon :coffee:
interesting. how are you HL
Hey Eresh
Not bad, mate…
!!
Going into gw20 with double Everton defence + double UTD attack.
Never in my wildest dreams thought something like that could happen
How’s things on ur end?
Ready for footie ?
anything can happen in FPL HL haha. one dream accomplished ahah. your doing great in the lfc fans league. 50 points off of wafflez the leader
I am bit sad to see Rambo going. Hope Banega comes to replace him. We have so many positions to fill – CB, LB, AM, LW/RW.
Pulisic @Chelsea ?
HL..same bs being circulated around. this one below was express who quotes “the sun”. utter garbage and clickbait mate

Must be fun being a sports journalist. You can make up anything, use vague non-committal language (e.g. impersonal passive), credit it to an unnamed source, and bish-bash-bosh, there’s your article.
Well… at least that’s according to reports courtesy of a source close to me.
Eresh – I have posted the Goal article…
But I saw it already in the German media (Bild)…
So tempted to go with this thoughts guys please?
As much as I love the Mitro shout I think it’s a bit too much. I’d captain Haz.
Thanks pal
This team or rashford, holebas and hojberg instead of Richarilson, TAA and Kamara
Stick with this, similar to mine.
