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.

Raziel
What to do with this team? I have no idea. I got two ft’s and 0.1m in the bank.
Raziel
:popcorn:
GentleBenAKA
I think you should just sit back and bask in the glory of a wonderful looking team.
inittowinit
No idea!
MHD
with 0.1 ITB, nothing to do guess.
Raziel
So I should just let the free transfer pass? Wish it would give me three the next week. Feels like a waste. Isn’t there a side transfer I could do? Like Kelly to Stephens? Or is it literally best as it is now?
specialK
I’m jealous of this team, so good to go.
Stone Frog
Maybe Kelly to Webster?
OddDane
Montoya over Webster? Yay or Nay?
Smash
I’d switch Kelly here
OddDane
First off, no need for any chances really. But a couple of (odd) ideas maybe?
Greenwood to Connolly?
Rico/Kelly to Montoya? Or Bednarek/Stephens? Or
Saïss?
I like the BHA fixtures personally
OddDane
chances = changes… boy, my fat fingers are really on fire today :wacko:
Raziel
Tnx guys.
OddDane
Don’t leave us hanging – what’ll it be?
MHD
Hi there.
I would appreciate any advice :help: .
Already used my FT to dispose of Pogba [a mistake that cost me a lot.] to Greelish.
Is it worth to do Alli to Maddison for a hit now?
in the longer term, is thinking around and rather than downgrading Alli, upgrading him to Son is a bad idea? Thought of this next week, then [Rash to DCL, a defender to TAA] in GW24. Have the exact funds for that.
inittowinit
I wouldn’t for a hit. But yes Son in the future seems a good idea.
Raziel
Son seems awesome with Kane out. I actually need to mess with my team to get that transfer in the near future. And no hit man. Wish you could borrow you my ft… Since it won’t be used… :dash:
GentleBenAKA
Not for a hit
Carolyn
I am ready for this week I think, or should I cap Vardy?
inittowinit
If you’ve decided on KDB then stick with it.
Raziel
Hmmm. Saw nothing about it anywhere but on the livescore app I had. It said KdB was subbed because of injury. Nothing from Ben or any site. Was that bs?
inittowinit
He got clattered and then subbed but he was wanting to go back on at the time.
Raziel
Personally I prefer Grealish over Cantwell. That’s just personal preference though. You’re a lady. You should decide on your own which guy you prefer. :big_boss:
GentleBenAKA
:good:
Carolyn
Thanks guys X
Horse
Hi all.
Anyone got thoughts of which transfer I should make? I recently played my WC so not much to do but 2 FTs. I got Grealish Cantwell and VVD on the bench.
Bournemouth look bad at the back so I am thinking Ramsdale out.
Either Fabs, Henderson or Leno to replace him.
Arsenal have the best fixtures up to WX2 and are looking better at the back but all my Arsenal transfers have turned out badly this season.
Horse
£1,2m itb
GentleBenAKA
I agree that Ramsdale out is the best use of the FT (carrying the other one). I’d probably be tempted by double game week Fab, or dirt cheap McCarthy myself, but Leno is also a decent shout.
Smash
Yeah Ramsdale to any of them
Horse
Thanks gents.
FplDoc789
Hey guys. Is this team gtg. Got 1.5m itb
On a -4 currently after the transfers.
Tornado
Looks good
GentleBenAKA
:good:
Tornado
Already did my FT, so just for reassuring…am I good to go? Did I choose the right captain and starting XI?
GentleBenAKA
Regarding captain, only time will tell!
Good to go.
Tornado
Cheers, man! It was a coin toss between the two. But as you said, we will see if I made the right choice.
