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.

Richarlison will miss this weekends game.
Just saw that!!
Looks like a hit is on the cards or should just bench?
Who would you play instead of him?
Haven’t got the best bench to be honest!
Don’t think there’s anymore than 2 points comming in from that bench. I would probably take a chance on madison…
That was my initial thought, could silva be an option?
If you are willing to take a chance on pep’s roulette, sure…
Could be a great pick…
@ Mitro How about Richarlison to Cantwell. Norwich have B’mouth at home. It’ll free up funds together another scouser
Whats up with him Kop ?
Picked up a knee injury in training. He might be ok for the mid-week game.
How does my team look? I have 2 free transfers so am looking at Jimmy out for Maupay
Bench is (Button) Grealish Sidibe Lundstrum 0.8m itb
i like jimmy to maupay. would have said dcl but his games go bad in a few weeks time horse. i see you are benching grealish. big call that over cantwell
Cheers Eresh. a couple of 50:50s.
Cantwell over Grealish coz he’s good at home and the cherries are really poor at the moment. Soyunchu over Sidibe.too as I think the foxes will play better this week.
good point horse. jack stephens or lundstram? who would u play among the 2?
Pains me to say it Eresh but Stephens. Soton look a lot better at home these days and have tightened up a lot at the back.
true that. will be hard for soton to contain wolves maybe but dont think sheffield will do much against arsenal away. most likely stephens and lundstram both lose their CS
Am I G2G?
This is my team. Brought in some keeper cover to rotate with Pope as they aren’t doing well lately.
Decided to experiment with ings as he is on good form and cheap. Nothing to lose.
Ali is the next guy to go, but I don’t want to take a hit on him so I will give him another 1-2 weeks. Plus I have decided who to replace him with(would of be Richardilson but he is flagged red).
I can’t believe you’re calling Ings an “experiment!” :rofl:
Good team though.
:big-lol:
Cause he never worked for me before
good to go kuma. hope the experiment is a success
Would you take a hit to replace rashford here? Will probably want him back when he’s fit again.
2.2 itb but my plan is to do Lamptey to Gomez next week so wouldn’t like to spend it all…
The problem with Rashford is that I would expect him to feature against Liverpool but then possibly be rested against Burnley on Wednesday night. Who would you replace him with?
That’s the question. Probably Ings since i don’t really have a good feeling when it comes to firmino…
It’s a tough call and I have to make it myself as well. Ole was very inconclusive, as always, so I don’t know what’s the right decision there. If he is indeed rested for Burnley, as Kop said, then it’s a bit pointless to keep him, I reckon
If you are going for it then it must be between Ings and Firmino IMO
Hearing richarlison is out injured. Was thinking one of the following
1) do nothing and bench him
2) swap for Maddison
3) swap for Cantwell
4) swap for someone I’ve missed
Bench him as you may want him midweek against Newcastle.
Maybe 4-4-2 would be good this week
+1
+2
Thanks all
Do you mean 442 or 433?
