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 all help here, though Swirly article was very good.
I am thinking of selling Rashford to Greenwood and either Mount or Traore to Salah. This would be -4 if I do it before GW23. Shall I loose Traore or Mount if I do?
Either really, their fixtures look as bad as one another.
Thanks Init, I have done it, got rid of Mount.
0.6m itb. Next week I can do Sterling -> Mané (exactly – so there better not be any more price drops!) Or with 2FTs next week do I try and go for Firmino instead (Tammy to Abraham and Sterling to KDB)?
*Tammy to Firmino (not Abraham!)
Mane, Mane, Mane….
Probably be the most captained next week, many with a TC.
Sterling might price drop, so keep an eye out
Hi ladies and gents
I have 2ft and exactly the right money ITB to do Grealish and rashford for manè and Ayew which I’m thinking won’t be possible in a few days with prices going up ready for DGW. Does this sound like a good idea or am I leaving my front too weak, should I just do rashford to Firmino??? X
Yeah I like that
Thanks smash. I’ll probably overthink it for a few hours and it willl be too late x
Sorry here is my team x
Do it!!
Hi Joanne, it’d mean you’d have the most desirable 3 mids all in the same team: Mane, Salah and KDB. And still allow a selection choice between the perceived weaker ones, so yes, probably a no-brainer.
Thanks guys done!!
No dilly dallying x
Think I want Ings
Oh come on you have to give me a chance in the losers cup!!
Inspiring comp name that!
If it helps I sold Tammy for him!
Oh you will beat me for sure. Think Ings involves a -4 but at least I want him long term. I want to keep Tammy that’s the problem
Capo? I’m on Kun
Show off!
Vardy. No Kun and I don’t trust Sterling’s game time!
Did you bring in Kane for Kun? I’m jealous.
KdB for me, though I had an impulse to give it to Ings.
Kralin, I have been thinking about this for the last couple of days.
In my opinion he could easily outscore any of the City boys. Not many will take that risk though, and it will be make or brake for some.
Ings!
Me too!
Evening everyone. I have 2 FTs this week so with doubts over Rashford I’ve moved for a safe pair of feet in Ings. Still got 1FT and a pile of cash but am 0.1 short for Salah without a hit. (Isn’t that always the way) 😉
Would you leave this team as is or get Salah in for a hit?
Absolutely leave it and get him next week for free. When you actually need him.
Yeah agree, I just worry he’s going to bang this week lol. Think I’ll keep KdB for next week too and maybe move Salah in for Maddison in the DGW. Can always change him back with the cash built up.
Again, as per comment to Jo, no-brainer if you can get all 3 together.
Absolutely, did you settle on what you are going to do for next week?
I’ll be getting Salah but undecided who joins him just yet.
