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.
Last weeks result in full…
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…

Hi guys I’ve got 1 FT and 1.3 ITB
Wanted to bring in Salah but feel the following moves might return more over the next few gameweeks! Any advice appreciated.
Sane and Auba out for Aguero and hazard
Thanks
not seeing a reason for Auba out really AC
Was just to have City cover and Aguero I feel will return similar to Auba!
Can you just do Sané to Hazard?
That would be ideal but 0.2 short!
Or Townsend to Felipe? I’d prob play Dunk over WanB this week.
Thanks mate Dunk will be in and to get in Felipe for Townsend I’d be 0.3 short!
Hmm in that case I’d be inclined to hold the ft this week and depending on what ManU looks like this weekend maybe downgrade Rashford and upgrade Sane > Haz or Townsend > ??.
So the last 5 GW’s has seen me drop over 220k places.
In GW16, I brought in Kane/Sane/Vert for Arna/Alonso and Salah (minus 8) Sane/Sterling/Kane – all blanked.
in GW18 I brought in Hazard and Ings for Fraser and Auba. I captained Hazard. Sane/Stelring/Hazard all blanked
GW19 – Shaw in for Vertonghen. No CS. Sane/Sterling blanked
GW20 – Salah in for Sterling
In one of my ML’s, I ranked 16th in the month of Dec. A guy has pulled over 80 points back on me in that time. I do not have nor have had Son/Pereyra/Digne/Anderson and sold Salah (now back) and Auba (dont have still).
My team with issues are:
Ederson – not keeping CS’s at present
Roberston – no issue
Shaw – have to stick with him but disappointed no CS in the last game
Dunk – no form
AWB – I seem to play him in the wrong games
Doherty – Lack of CS’s
Salah and Hazard – no issue
Richarlison – doing ok – just not Son/Anderson level
Sane – few poor games – could be rotated with Mahrez playing
Stephens – bench fodder
Kane – doing “well enough”
Jimenze – gone off boil a bit
Ings – Is only “ok”
I feel I am chasing last weeks points quite a bit. I’ve 0 FT, 0 ITB
Any advice?
I wont buy Salah this week then… 😉
Just to add to that i took Hazard Salah and Digne out and swapped Robbo to Trent on wc a few weeks ago so feel your pain !
I wudnt advise it Brooky
Any word of team line ups / press conferences yet?
2ft 0.3itb 90pts behind ml leader any suggestions you guys could make?
Rogueblood
How about Hart to Fabianski and save a transfer?
I would also play Ings ahead of Peltier.
Lloris McCarthy
Alonso Trippier Keane Doherty Bissaka
Hazard Mane Fraser Camarasa Martial
Aubameyang Chicharito Mitrovic.
Any thoughts on what moves I should make? I have 2.6 ITB.
How many FTs Chris?
Sorry 1 FT. I am 900K. Need to rescue my season
Me too! Not holding out much hope tho 😉
Looks like Lloris/Alonso/Tripp are taking up funds from your 2nd fwd. Maybe look at Alonso > TAA and Chicha > whoever you can afford.
TAA is a rotation doubt for me
I can’t see who would rotate with TAA. He seems nailed on to me.
Clyne
Salah on pens then!!
Jurgen Klopp: “[James Milner] will not be available for tomorrow but hopefully the game after that. Alberto [Moreno] trained first time completely pain-free yesterday, so will probably be in contention. Dom Solanke has muscle problems, will not be involved.”
