FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW23
Welcome to FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW23.
Extraordinary(ly) (Pointless) General Meeting…
We won’t beat around the bush here; GW22 was less than kind to us. We scraped home with just 48 points, 9 below the average. Inevitably it meant a big red arrow, one to the tune of almost exactly 50,000 places, which now sees us in 141,497th, our 2nd lowest ranking of the season. Our entire team managed just 3 assists and 1 goal between them. Our highest scoring player was captain Vardy with just 10, and that was doubled up from 5, which pretty much tells you all you need to know.
Our GW22 Result…
Let’s go see what was decided this week…
Our GW23 Transfer(s)
We come into GW23 with 1 FT and £1.5m in the bank.
As mentioned last week we decided that we were going down the ‘Robbo’ route, as opposed to the Salah one. And with that in mind we needed to raise a bit of cash. We began that process by losing Alli to Maddison and this week the cull continues at a pace…
Anyone who has followed us with any modicum of interest over the years will know that we are anything but rash and certainly don’t go making early transfers just to beat the odd price rise. That was until this week! We don’t normally even have a ‘team’ meeting until a Thursday but on Wednesday night we were alerted that our intended target Danny Ings was on the cusp of a price rise, cue an Extraordinary General Meeting. Cue people being dragged out of bed, away from their TV’s and families, pulling over at roadsides and in some cases even as extreme as having to stop shopping for FF247 branded phone cases.
Possibilities were explored, including a fresh discussion about whether Robbo was indeed the correct path, which brought Firmino and Salah back onto the table, albeit briefly. The upshot was that we were happy enough to make an early transfer, for once, and so it was done; Tammy left us, Danny joined and our plans were still on course. They do still teeter on the brink of disaster though as we are now bang on the money to acquire Robbo at the expense of Mings next week. It’s a situation we shall just have to monitor and we have a back up strategy should something go wrong which could conceivably involve either Firmino or Salah again.
And then after all that scrambling… Ings didn’t rise after all! D’oh!
To confirm then we have SOLD Tammy Abraham and BOUGHT Danny Ings
Captain – Kevin De Bruyne
With City looking back in form and facing Palace at home this week Kevin romped home with 4 votes. Jamie Vardy picked up the other plus all of the votes for Vice Captain, so if Pep were to do something silly he will step in.

How bad is this Richarlison injury?
Seems to have appeared out of nowhere :popcorn:
I suppose so, if you consider yesterday’s press conference as out of nowhere! :slaphead:
I mean, he was ok until yesterday it seems, maybe he was trying too hard in training 😯 I have seen things like it’s not serious and he’ll be back tuesday, I have kept him for now though.
Why does it take them so long to update the game / website? I want to get next GW’s team set up :bouncy:
Anyone else cap Salah? I’m shutting my pantsu here.
I know Pingu and Ponzu but not Pantsu, Kevin for me this week.
Might be TCing him next week, but just in the starting XI for me this week
Wtf? Salah just in the starting eleven for you? Next week tc? Crazy talk. :punish:
KdB was my first choice. But changed it last minute.. :big_boss: :big_boss:
As captain? Who did you go with in the end?
Salah… Because I of late game.
And here’s the Liverpool DGW we’ve all been waiting for for years 😀 All need to do now is decided TC on Mane or Salah :wacko:
OR TAA??!?! :declare:
None, save it
Killjoy that I am haha
No I won’t, this is the best time to use it, it doesn’t get any better than this! It’s not as important chip anyway as you’d think, just one additional captain score to your GW score, that’s it…
It doesn’t?? Maybe you’re right, it’s not such a big deal, it is however, as you say, almost impossible to guess the right man. In the end it will be VVD with the points
Jimenez you lousy mofo. Start doing what you are paid for.
