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.

Hey folks,
Am I good to go?
Doherty or Jimenez or Wan B?
Morning all! Feels strange not having an early kick off and no panic stations first thing in the morning!
How does this team look?
Every team screenshot is giving me some panic – as I don’t have any of Hazard, Son, Pogba, Martial, Rashford, Aubameyang.
I don’t know how I am refraining myself from pressing the “Hit” button. As the deadline coming closer, the panic rises.
GoalMachine, any suggestions for My Rules team. I run out of ideas and the WC is still there. You know, the usual-only newbies.
Pretty good looking team for a newbies team Ivan. Looks like you have all the top performers covered.
Play Allison.
Thanks Coquis. It was a bad start to the season but can’t complain for the last few rounds with scores above average. Hopefully January will bring some fresh legs.
OK Elle, going with Alice in the wonderland 🙂
Are these subs in the right order, Doherty, billing, wan b. Should Doherty go before billing even though billing has a much easier fixture?
Am I good to go?
I’d say so, unless you have any FT’ left over
me likey lagos. good to go mate
Morning Fellow Fpl’ers. hope you are enjoying a great start to the weekend. Here is my proposed team below with salah coming in.
Fabianski
doherty, shaw, robertson
salah, anderson, hazard (vc), richarlison, billing.
rashford, kane (c)
bench: button, kamara, wan bissaka, bellerin
do you think is formation is okay? should i play kamara over billing despite the former’s uncertainty on starting today?
Looks ok, yeah
cheers gkw. what about kamara and billing dilemma?
should i bring in digne for a hit to replace bellerin? should i stick with billing or bring in kamara?
Morning all,
Narrowed the wildcard team down to 3 options. Which one should I go for?
A
B
Out of these 3 options, B simply because you shouldn’t be including the likes of Zanka or Kiko. But in all 3 variants you’re picking Bernard when you’d do better (and save cash) with Richarlison, and there are also many preferable alternatives to Shaw. Also I don’t follow your thinking on goalies: you already have exposure to Palace defence through Wan-B.
Thanks GKW,
Zanka and Kiko are bench fodder really.Bernard is my only way into Citeh (I do currently have Richarlison and sacrificed him for Pogba). I definately want ManU coverage for both clean sheets and attacking returns as 8 out of the next 10 fixtures are good and they have the impotus now to prove it was Joses fault and not theirs. I did have a look at Lindlof but hes only 0.1 cheaper and doesnt offer the same attacking potential as Shaw. Hennesy is there to rotate in gw 22 and 25
C
Oh and this one.
D
No, don’t mess with your front line!
Was thinking about playing 4-5-1 most weeks and bring Barnes in gw 21 and 22 vs huds and fulham and Ings can come in of the bench anywhere between gw 22 to 26 to cover injuries or rotation
