Desperately Seeking Salah
Welcome to FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW22. A week of mixed fortunes but we think we got away with it and a green arrow would suggest so. At the back Pope reinforced why we should really have sold him a while back as he along with Kelly got us 2 points apiece. TAA got his now obligatory clean sheet with Soyuncu going one better and get 2 handy bonus points on top of his cleanie. Up top it was carnage as our captain Vardy didn’t bother to show up, Jimenez did just about but still only got us 2 points whilst Tammy was that particular department’s ‘star’ performer with an assist. Our midfield came to the rescue a bit but perhaps from unexpected sources. Whereas Alli got a disappointing 2 and our new Captain and long pursued target KDB got us the same, doubled for 4, Cantwell came off our bench with a grateful 10 and Grealish went even better with a 13. Mane got his usual goal for an 8.
All in all we ended up with 62 points, 14 above the average and a welcome rise in rank of about 21k up to 91,142nd.
Our GW21 Result…
Our GW22 Transfer(s)
We come into GW22 with 1 FT and £0.6m ITB.
It seems strange to be deciding on which players we need for a GW that is essentially still three weeks out from here but we need a plan so as to arrive in DGW24 with a full complement of Liverpool assets. We are currently sporting two thirds of the so called ‘holy grail’ of TAA, Mane and Salah. The latter is the one which is causing us issues, simply because he’s so bloody expensive and in order to acquire him we are looking at some major surgery.
The alternative is to go with double Liverpool at the back with Robertson coming in to join his assist rival TAA. A vote was needed!
The case for Robertson was presented with stats; he’s got 60 points away from home this season (both DGW matches are away), whereas Salah has only 35, albeit in less minutes. Plus he would be much easier to get to without ripping our team apart. Salah coming in would probably require saying goodbye to the likes of Jimenez & Tammy.
The case for Salah was that he’s looking in good form and is certainly getting the chances and clearly has more potential to be ‘explosive’.
The result was that Salah got 1 vote, Robertson 4.
So with that out the way we could crack on and now actually make our moves for this week! In order to get Robertson in the upcoming weeks we would have to release a few funds, about £1.9m of them. We have decided on a rough step by step plan beginning this week by selling Alli for Maddison with a view to doing something like Tammy to Ings next week and then eventually Mings to Robertson. Best laid plans and all that…
To confirm then we have SOLD Dele Alli and BOUGHT James Maddison
Captain – Jamie Vardy
Pretty route one this but sometimes you don’t need to overcomplicate matters. For the record though Vardy didn’t have it all his own way; he got 3 votes, with Mane and KDB grabbing 1 apiece.

Is anyone considering giving the armband to Jimenez this week? I have it on him at the moment as got a suspicion he’s going to come good against NCL.
But I am worried about not giving it to Vardy, Maddison, KDB who I all have…
He’s got definite claims. Check out our captain’s article from the other day where Matt discusses him.
He’s a decent option usually pretty consistent and had a good fixture just a bit less explosive
Thing for me is Jimi never really hauls. Scores 1 and is done. Rarely in double figure pts.
Vardy or Rashford for Captain this week?
Vardy for me and I have both. But there’s a good case for either really.
That’s my dilemma as well! Vardy is a safer option as a lot of people will opt for him and he’s more explosive. However, I have it on Rashford ATM. He’s got the form and the fixture but with MU, you never know…tough call
Vardy
Morning my lovelies!
Best one week Punt midfielder up to £10.1m?
Thinking Martial but would love your collective thoughts!
Do you have richarlison? That’s my pick for next 4 gameweeks…
Yeah I looked at his stats but I’m getting DCL in next week so don’t want to double up!
Rosco, i’m looking at Mahrez, bit unsure wether he’ll start, hes in form though.
Yeah feel exactly the same!!
Rosco, just out of interest, why are you taking a one week punt?
I have 2FT, the original plan was to get Salah in for Alli but need to sell Rashford to do that, however, Rashford has too good a fixture to ditch. Bringing in someone for Alli (who I don’t think will do anything against pool) will give me another week to decide if I want to go Salah or of that ‘punt’ does well I may decide to go for Robbo over Salah.
Makes sense.
Would you consider taking the opportunity to change Pope or Kelly?
Yeah my first plan was Alli and pope out but then I was locked into waiting till 24 for Salah which o guess I still could. I debated just moving Pope but think for a stand alone move shifting Alli would get me more points
Will sell Alli for grealish. But maybe not until next week. Can’t decide if i rather have Alli vs pool or grealish vs city this week.
Who would you prefer?
Either really. Or neither. I’ve sold Alli and I’m playing Grealish for what that means.
Ideally, Neither. But if I had to choose it’d be Grealish.
Hello all and good luck this GW. 0FT 2.9ITB
Gtg? Who goes for Robertson next week?
A. Rico
B. Kelly
Henderson
TAA Lundstram Soy
KdB Maddison Mane Traore
Vardy(C) Jimi Tammy
McCarthy Cantwell Rico Kelly
Probably Kelly as his place will come under pressure again very shortly.
Traore to Richarlison as a punt for couple weeks?
Or perhaps if Maddison is not declared fit swap him in for Richarlison?
I’d defo back that as a punt. Stuck him in my sons team last night. But more because we are going the game tomorrow!
Morning Init,
I’m sure the wee man will love that. Bet he’s excited.
I’m off to see Wolves again at the end of the month believe it or not!
He’ll love it if they make something resembling an effort!
GP, have you listened to Carra’s podcast with Gerrard?
First thing yesterday when it dropped Kop.
So much better hearing him discuss his life and career comfortably with a friend (and the odd swear word!) rather than him having to politely entertain the codswallop in the media up here who admittedly, he just patronises brilliantly.
I really enjoyed it. But that’s hardly a surprise!
It was indeed very good. Have you listened to the rest he’s done?
I never particularly liked Tony Bellew but his one was good, he was quite complimentary and fair to Liverpool I recall.
I listened to about 30 minutes of the Bellamy one. I didn’t particularly enjoy it so I hadn’t bothered with any of the others. I will go back and give them a listen though.
