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.

thanks for the quick replies every1. will go with rosco and select cantwell/webster
Nice!!
Good to go!?
Yeah, although a bit risky captain pick given I’d say Mane/Salah/KDB are all better options imo, higher ceiling and all that…
Yes I know. Most recent home games are 9,9,2,9,9,7, so pretty consitant and Wolves played mid week. Just feel KDB will get an assist and then subbed off early for 5points or so. We’ll see. OR is poor so may as well take a few risks.
Stone Frog, think I am going to follow. Have the feelings that there will be some weird Peptation down the line and City won’t deliver as expected. Double digits, even small, are very likely from Ings.
Ings minutes will be managed as well, think he gets subbed off pretty early too with another important game on tuesday and no one can replace him in our side at the minute, Ralph said (again) that Ings’ minutes need to be managed… But I don’t wanna steer you off capping Ings and then to see him score a hatty, should always just keep mouth shut when it comes to people’s captain picks, it’s a lottery anyway
g2g frg
Haha…we have exactly the same team…except I have captained Mr V.
Great article lads, Ings is looking lethal.
Any shouts for this squad? Thinking of firmino in for Jimenez. Have 3.0mil in the bank though to do some tinkering.. thinking of getting rid of chillwel but im not really sure whether to go for a a cheaper defender to put the funds somewhere else next week?
Save the FT, good to go nice team
Wisest choice….
Pity I go itchy fingers and brought in firmino.
Thank you though. I’ll learn sometime haha
Hi lads. I am sitting on 1FT and 1.4m ITB. Was thinking of swapping my keeper with my transfer. Who would be the best bet?
Depends if you plan to get a 3rd Liverpool player in next week, and if so who it is.
That is the plan. Going to swap dunk out for a pool defender so I guess Ryan is the best move
