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.

Morning
Any advice please guys?
1FT & 2.7 ITB.
Should I be looking to offload Dele Ali also?
you should definitely offload ali. Begin to plan for the DGW 24 as you do so. direct swap for Salah is not possible for you now. however, think of doubling up your defense with liverpool defenders or at least one. alternatively, Keita is affordable and may likely play in an advanced role. you could monitor his fitness as we approach the DGW24. wish you success
I don’t see Keita as an option for GW24. With a number of our midfielders coming back from injury so Klopp could have a full deck to choose from.
Any other Alli replacements to consider ? Or should I leave him in ?
Before you do anything you need to decide which 3 Liverpool players you want for DGW24. Once you’ve done that you can then make a plan to get them.

If you want Salah, then Alli is your springboard (I guess with a downgrade of Jimi or Abraham) unless you plan on doing a KDB one week switcheroo. If you want TAA then I think you’re 0.1 missing so that’ll need a downgrade somewhere else. If you want Robbo or VVD then it’s technically possible this week but why bother when your current defenders have decent enough fixtures.
I would actually leave him in and have 2FTs next week.
If you could have reached Sterling for free that would have been a different matter.
So keep the team as is for this week?
I would.
Thank you
Save the FT and switch Kelly and Cantwell.
Thanks
Waiting on maddison news. Anyone know time Leicester presser is?
13:30
Cheers dude
Transfers then…
I brought in Fabianski last week and saved one.
Thinking of bringing in McCarthy this week and saving one.
1.1mln in the bank and I like my outfield players this week.
I don’t deserve to play this game do I?
May as well rather than wasting it.

Thank you all gentlemen.
McCarthy actually covers well when Fabianski goes to Liverpool and City so there is method in the madness.
Cheers again.
Chuck -> McCarthy seems like a good idea.
Maddison is fine…
Rodgers on Maddison: “He’s ok. He had a couple of tests but he’s trained the last couple of days”.
<3
that is good news. did the site team proceed with the maddison transfer in the end?
Yep, article is updated accordingly.
+ 1
96000 transferred him out because of the flag saying head injury.Evidently it happened after the game had finished. Wonder what really happened.
Enough sold Vardy on a yellow as well and sent his price down. Makes me wonder how these guys manage their teams.
Is Robbo a necessity? Or could I get away with not having him? If I sell Kabasele and Lucas then I have 4.4 for a 4th mid
4.4 gets you who?
F all to be fair! Chalobah is the one jumping out at me.
He’s the lowest owned of the top 4 Liverpool assets.. so I’m thinking leaving him out this week is ok. I’ll probably downgrade Jimenez to get enough for a LIV defender.
Yeah I didnt really want to sell Jimenez but I might have to.
Everyone is planning for having a triple pool cover for GW24. Personally i coudnt afford robbo so i brought gomez.
Happy Friday all. Got a benching headache for tonight’s deadline.. I’m considering benching Robertson this week with Sidibe, Traore, Lundstram, Abraham all having good fixtures..
Am I crazy??
Coin toss between him and Sidibe. With TAA already in there I reckon I’d go with what you have there.
I just got a sneaky feeling Mou will tactically shut down the full backs. He did well when still managing Man Utd against Liverpool.
Gee whillikers! Robbo on your bench! What a position to be in! Good on you mate!
