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.

Raring to go 😎
Wow. Solid team seriously.
Also well prepared for GW24.
Good to go! That starting XI is stuff of dreams (with the upcoming fixtures)!
Jimenez and Pope vs Grealish and Henderson.
Hehe, looks good!! Good luck to us!! :drinks:
Hello all,
sitting on 2 ft and 0.2 itb. don´t want to waste a Transfer, but don´t know what to do. anyone of you has a Suggestion? hopped maddison is out to have arguments to sell him, but now he´s fit, it´s hard to sell. What do you reckon?
What’s your plan for the Pool double?
Does, for instance, Jimenez —> DCL get you a Pool defender for one of those defenders, say Webster?
Plan is to go for TAA, but Robertson wouldn´t be too much of a Downgrade.
Just Gomez would be possible with this move, but actually i don´t like Gomez or DCL
That’s the pickle, there’s hardly anyone you’d like in order to get TAA for those defs, seems like a 3m upgrade almost, I didn’t like DCL that much either but it had to be done in order to get TAA… Just a thought
Afternoon all!
Am I hot to trot for tonight’s deadline? Bench order ok? 1 FT, £1.8m in the bank. Not ideal having Pope in goal, but saving transfers in anticipation of bringing in a Liverpool player.
Cheers!
That’s perfect for you this week Swirly. :wink2:
Cheers, mate! Did you end up bringing in McCarthy?
Still at work but I’ll probably do it before home time yeah. Anything else you see though which could tempt me?
I really like your team. I like that Mount is almost like a differential again, too. The only thing I can see – and I’m sure others have said before – is Alli being there, when he could be Richarlison, Martial or even Dilva. That said, if you’ve got plans of converting him into Salah or whatever and don’t want to start taking hits, that’s fair enough.
Indeed, he is the Salah fall guy Swirly.
Cheers mate.
Looks fine Swirly
Thanks, bud
You are all set! Solid team :dance:
Thanks Tornado!
Yeah, looks good, save!
Cheers, Zed!
Great season so far Swirls, keep it up mate, looks like your best ever overall finish is there for the taking.
Cheers, Mito! Yeah, I’ve definitely never been this high at this stage of the season before. Fingers crossed it can continue! Hope all’s well with you
Hi all! Any thoughts here? I’ve got 2FTs but 0 in the bank! Don’t really want to waste a transfer so is there anything that needs tweaking?
Waste it.
hi igy. maybe alli to grealish if you want to use a FT? Grealish does face city so understand if you don’t want him in this gw. should you not want grealish, let 1 transfer go or just replace martin to another dud GK for the giggles
How about Aurier to a WHU defender?
Presuming you’re on a 3-4-3 with Cantwell your first sub, I’d do Alli to one of Richarlison, Martial or Dilva and then you can use the £0.6m in the pot and whatever else towards getting a third Liverpool player a gameweek or two down the line.
2FTs. Nothing itb.
Thinking Targett to Saiss from Wolves. Equally priced at 4.4M.
Goalkeepers mate! See what you can get elsewhere.
+1. Or losing Alli for someone.
Hey guys, thanks for all the great articles. I think I’ll bring Maddison for Todd for a hit this week, I’ll then be set to bring salah and Ings next week. What do you guys think. Think I’ll captain Rashford or kdb, still not sure.
Do you mean for Alli?
No bud, for Cantwell.
