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…

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer: “Romelu [Lukaku], Anthony [Martial] and Alexis were [in] light [training] yesterday so hopefully they can join part of the training today and let’s see after they’ve come through.”
With 2 FTs and 0.9 itb, would you prefer for this week:
1. Sterling to Hazard
2. Doherty to TAA
3. Brooks&Laca to Hazard&Kamara
4. Sterling&Laca to Salah&Rashford
5. Something else?
Thanks guys
Sterling to Hazard Frenchie.
I’d go number 3. I see Hazard as being the most important player over the next 3 weeks.
Fine taking City players out if you have no other options but there will soon be a scramble to get them back in again. Fixtures aren’t bad after Liverpool.
I like 3 there
Laca & Alonso >> Aguero & TAA
Thanks a lot for your replies.
In order to avoid too big headaches, I’m deciding to go with the option which got the highest number of votes, and that is option 3! Let’s go 3-5-2 and see how it goes!
gkw, I’m keeping an eye on Aguero and TAA as potential targets for following gameweeks.
Clinging on to the top of my mini league but really not happy with my team at all.
I foolishly took Perreya out for Martial last gameweek and now an in form Perreya plays Newcastle!
I’ve got Haz in for Sterling now. I feel like I shouldn’t take a hit but I’m looking around at the likes of Digne, Son, Pogba, Salah and worried I’m going to get caught.
What do I do?
0.5 ITB and 0 FT…
Team here:
Don’t panic.
No more transfers this week, you’re set.
Thanks GP.
Furious at myself for taking Perreya out but hopefully Martial grabs some points this week.
Good to go
Good morning all,
Another bad week for me! I have 1FT and 1FT.
I’m debating
Sterling to Salah
Sterling to Hazard
Fraser to Pereyra
Any thoughts please? Thanks
Meant to say 1FT AND 2.3m in the bank
Sterling to either Salah or Hazard there.
Honestly don’t know which is more important right now. Salah with a gun to my head.
GP I took Salah out during my WC in GW16, right before he scored a hat trick and has continued to get big points! It’s really cost me. I’ve had Haz this season but he can be very frustrating as well!
I am on -4 should i play beach boost or my squad will be fine?
I would play Wilson before Herrera.
I have thought of wilson ad I know united is now a changed team i saw how Herrera is playn he’s getting those points i em payin for it twice i wont live him out
Definitely don’t bench boost.
I’d probably play Wilson instead of Ings.
+1
morning all. 1ft and 0.2 ITB. this is the team below so far. should I roll or get someone in soon? if i make no further changes, do you guys reckon the formation is ok for this week? captaincy going safe with kane but im tempted to switch to hazard. reckon its worth it as its palace away?
Looks fine to save eresh. Team is fine.
cheers gp
