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.

So who’s everyone captaining?
Salah.. no Kane… salah… Kane… no idea!! I’ll probablg choose the wrong one!!
That’s basically me
It’s Salah or Haz for me
Tempted to go with Rash but….. bandwagon Kane it is.
very tempted by Rashford but I’m concerned about gametime!
True AT. With Luka back tomorrow is the time to see what Ole’s intentions are.
Agreed. Not that Rashford deserves to be dropped on current form
It will be interesting to see how he will play both Martial and Rashford.

Kane…
Joining the masses…
Anderson or Kane. Currently have it on Anderson
Now on pogba!
Same here. Have Kane and Haz too, but the way Ole is talking about playing to suit Pogba and his form in last 2 + fixture it just seems like a good idea.
Back on Kane 😉
On a WC, am I good to go?
No City is a worry but I feel I can amend that easily if a City player becomes essential.
Wary of Morgan game time, not sure if anyone can confirm if he’s still going to be a regular starter?
Have I got the right captain?
Cheers £0.1 ITB
Not sure on Morgan. I’d probably want a United mid in there. Pogba screaming out as the player to get. That said, I don’t know if I’d drop any of your current four for him!
Good to go guys? Salah captain for me this week as I think the Arsenal defence can be leaky!
Looking good! GL
Need to play two of WAN Bissaka, Ings, Jimenez and Doherty. At the moment I’ve the first two playing and the second on the bench in that order. What do you think?
Definitely Ings. I’d probably play the two strikers tbh.
Thanks AT. Didn’t get back online before the deadline. How are you set?
Lovren (ARS)
Schindler (ful)
Yedlin (wat)
Need two to play. Think Lovren makes sense, other two are much of a muchness I think; Newcastle dont concede many, especially excluding the top teams, but Schindler probably more likely to score.
Thoughts?
These are the score predictions for this round from the top pundits.
Not that they ever get it right 😆
