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.

Hi all. Thanks for the articles this week – some real food for thought.
I’m pretty tempted by Jimenez to Firmino. I can just do it. Rashford’s injury is a bit of a bummer though, although if he’s not out for long I don’t think he’s worth ditching. City’s strikers would be first on my list if Pep would guarantee their playing time. Sadly, I think that’s a no.
Still need to get rid of Gazzaniga but not sure it’ll happen this week.
Thoughts on Firmino in for Jimenez? 1FT, £2m itb. Anything else floating your boat?
TIA
Hey AT
I think only you can answer whether that move feels right this week and not next. You could well see Jimenez and Firmino scoring about the same this weekend.
Only thing I would consider is the flexibility in having two FT next week incase plans change and all of a sudden Firmino isn’t an option for the DGW and Salah is.
Yes. Good points, as ever, GP. I guess I’m just aggrieved about not ditching Jimi to Ings a few weeks back when I tipped him in captain picks!
I did Jimenez to Ings. But I already have Taa, Mane, Salah and KdB. :p
Tempted by Ings.
Martial worth keeping?
Whats your plan Raz ? I’m benching him this week for Cantwell.
He’s playing. He’s either first or second striker.. that for a midfield is decent. If Rashford isn’t starting his chances go up. He should be involved in most goals. Also Uniteds fixtures after are very good. I could do him to Mahrez for a punt… but that would be chasing points and Mahrez might not even play.
Not sure his chances go up with Rashford out,especially against Liverpool but yeah feels odd benching him.No point doing a one week punt on Mahrez as you will want him back for Burnley.Think i’m gonna lose him for Salah though next week.
I see. Already have Taa, Salah and Mane. Him or Grealish are probably the first to go though.
Yeah actually considered losing Grealish instead, downgrading Tammy to Greenwood and switching formation.Will have another think about it after this weekends games.
Just checked your team,awesome midfield you got going on there !!
Yes for me
Hello Gents.
Long time
Is my team set for this week?
Ryan
Soyuncu TAA Lundstram
Mahrez(C) Mane KDB Richarlison Grealish
Ings Vardy
Bench – Button Greenwood Kelly Rico
No FT and 3.2 mn ITB
Apart from Richarlison being injured,yes !
Looks awesome your team. Didn’t know about Richie.
Rich is out with a knee injury. Take your bench order seriously.
Cheers guys. Should i do Rico to Joe Gomez for a hit?
2FTs.
What to do?
Thinking Ramsdale to Ryan this GW
Tammy + Alli to Firmino and Sarr next GW.
Hmm. :popcorn:
Hold transfer.
Intelligent.
I’d still prefer Ramsdale over Gazzzzzz personally. But both are doubtful. Ryan should be a good option. I had him from the start of the season..
Is Ramsdale deffo out for this GW?
Ramsdale was involved in vey light training so probably won’t start and will be on bench.
Thanks for letting me know, I’ve got a non playing sub keeper! Looks like il have to transfer Ramsdale out! Who’s the best option to transfer for?ive got £0.5m ITB!
How about Grealish to Cantwell this week then Alli and Tammy to Mane and Maupay/DCL? Would that work cash wise?
No that won’t.
Ramsdale to Ryan and hold the other FT
I’ve decided to go without a GK this week. Have 1 FT but will need it for the next round. It’s unlikely Ramsdale to get a CS even if he plays. So, that is like losing 2 points.
Am I good to go with my captain choice ??
KDB is always a good choice. Even when he blanks, he’s never far away! Although you do have a huge choice there for captain!
True that
Evening all
Who should I bring in for Richarlison? Can only think of Maddison or Silva as the best options.
Look how loaded your team is I am guessing your shy of getting Mahrez?
0.4 short
Downgrade Soy to a promising 4.4 defender and Bob’s your uncle! You will have a true kick-ass team!
How much itb ? Whats your plan for the dgw ?
Oops forgot about that too! Looks like he’s going to have to get in Firmino temporarily?
0.1 short! Just bringing in mane
Maddison
Thanks B
