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.

Welcome to the fantasy version of a League of Extraordinary Gentlemen…
Hi site team,
Sound transfer as I have finally brought in the very same Danny ings.
Should you not be considering Cantwell for the starting 11.
There is no obvious replacement but perhaps for grealish or dare I suggest jimenez.
Jamie
Considering we should be, but for who as you say.
I sound like Yoda there don’t I :rofl:
Your path you must decide.
Yoda (Jamie)
You lot better bloody not jinx Ings now. :rant:
If he blanks, I’ll know who to blame! :punish:
Yourself? :big_boss: :scratch_one-s_head:
Hi all
I’ve used one free transfer to make Alli to Grealish. I have 2.1 in the bank and have a few options.
A) Kelly to VVD (have the exact money)
B) Rashford to Firmino or
C) Maddison and Rashford to Salah and Deeney/DCL for a -4.
What do you think people. Thanks.
Or bench Rashford, play Cantwell and see how you stand next week?
Sounds like a good idea.
Hi
Just wondering what to do here? Still undecided on which Liverpool player to bring in. Prob Salah for de Bruyne for 1 week.
2fts and 2mil itb. Cheers
Kickers
Strong position there you’re in.
KDB to Salah is a straight swap really looking at your bank balance so you don’t need to save any money elsewhere.
Therefore it’s just about tidying up something or having the luxury of punting on a West Ham player for the double.
Healthy squad right now therefore would you consider the West Ham route with Kelly to Ogbonna or Balbuena? Even Grealish to Lanzini?
Don’t think it is a good idea taking out the FPL leading scorer for Salah for even a bit. Maybe Holgate -> VvD or Jimi to Firmino?
Thanks for advice both. I’ll have a think
Do I do both transfers this week? Or just one? Maybe holgate to vvd or the Kdb to Salah one. Can’t see what I’d need to change for this gw but seems a waste to not use a transfer
Never too late to get Ings in his current form.
Not sure but I think maybe Cantwell plays over Grealish.
Coin toss time that isn’t it, Little Red.
Yeah I’d play Cantwell. I can’t decide on Grealish as Villa look awful
