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.

Hey guys. Planning to save the FT. What say?
Well it looks right for this week and next – so why not keep the FT, then you’ll have 2 for next week (Tuesday I mean). Could take out Kelly for a highly promising 4.4 or 4.3 defender (Stephens, Webster, one of the Watford lads, or little WIlliams from MU if you want to bank some coin!) either this week or next. Wiliams move would permit you to upgrade Dendo. Apart from that, if it’s not broken, don’t fix it!
Cheers AJW. Really want a Brighton def, given their fixtures. Is Webster sure to start every game? Think I’d go with Jimenez to Haller next week and just wait for a miracle to happen.
Or may be Grealish to Noble for a sure 4 points.
Haller? 😯
Great TC option there :hippo:
A few of their defenders have potential in goals Webster, Burn and Dunk. The first two start most – but not all
Hey Elle. Any updates on the cup comp? Can’t find the previous comment on the same.

Morning
Is my team good to go ?
Morning branchy,
Which one are going for? I like the top one, could you not bench trossard for cantwell instead?
You might only have 10 this week which is a bit of a concern
Morning
Still haven’t decided who to bring in for Richarlison.
Silva and Maddison are the ones I’m looking to bring in.
For one week only who would you have?
For just the one week I’d take a punt on DSilva
Cheers smash!
How are you? You all set for this Gw?
Yeah well I took a hit basically to get Ings which probably weren’t wise but oh well not much has gone right this season
I would bench Richarlison, not do something you may come to regret later.* I’d hate to see you do that.
(But maybe you’re planning to wildcard before 24?)
*I have no idea how serious his injury is.
Morning kralin,
I have moved him to the bench and just played saka for now, Rico is my next sub
Don’t feel comfortable with either of the moves as the plan was always to move on Richarlison to Mane in GW24
Morning folks,
Am I good to go?
Thanks,
CC
Yes, Great team!
Yep
Thanks guys!
CC
Great team!
And my B team which is currently doing better and 2nd in mini league.
Not sure re subs.
Thanks,
CC
Richarlison is out.
Yep but wasn’t sure who to have come on as sub…Dunk or Traore.
