FF247 FPL Team GW23
Welcome to FF247 FPL Team GW23.
Our score of 65 in GW22 saw us record our first red arrow in seven weeks, despite us beating the average of 57. This is what a failed captain (Salah), a blanking goalkeeper (McCarthy) and failures on the part of Dallas and Targett (one point apiece) brings. Luckily for us everyone else delivered – the mandatory clean sheet for Dias, assists aplenty for Grealish, Gundogan, Bamford and Antonio while Bingo Bruno was the stand out with the full house of goal, assist(s) and clean sheet.
The red arrow takes us back to 967,981 but with 2 free transfers, a wildcard in hand and double game-weeks coming up we’re confident of a strong finish.
Our GW22 Result…

Let’s go see what was decided…
Our GW23 Transfer(s)
With two free transfers we’ve going big on the Burnley backline, buying Pope and Lowton for Forster and the out of favour Chilwell. This is mainly with an eye on their newly announced DGW in which they have fairly favourable fixtures. Both also come straight into our team this week as they welcome Brighton. We have kept McCarthy, not only for comedy value, but also because Saints are likely to have a couple of DGW’s of their own soon.
To confirm then we have SOLD Forster & Chilwell and BOUGHT Pope & Lowton
Captain – Bruno
Our captain is Bruno as we look to him to add to last week’s impressive tally. Our vice-captain is Antonio.

Would you play ings or soucek?
MattX
Tough one. I could see Saints trying to get a response after the 9-0 so Ings might be on for a great game. Soucek is in form though. I’d possibly go Ings as I think he has the higher ceiling.
Veer
Your team looks like a big selection headache every week :hippo:
kickers
:dash:
Tornado
This looks like a BB team!
I know I am not helping but I have no clue how you’d make a decision. Good luck anyway, hope you get it right.
kickers
I got it wrong last week! Luckily Foden didn’t play so soucek came in
Terminator
I am on WC! is this ok?
£0 ITB, I do still have my Free Hit token.
Stone Frog
I would get some DGW players for the next 2 weeks. DCL, another Man City player etc.
Terminator
DCL isn’t very good though, I could maybe get Stoned in for Justin.
AJW
Getting stoned AND DCL sounds like a good move!
He did get 9 points last GW I think.
inittowinit
I reckon you got stoned a long while back and never really returned :wacko:
If not then maybe you should be :rofl:
Kop Warrior
Do you think he said Jehovah?!
Terminator
I cannot afford Stones, I think I will leave it as it is, there is a good balance with Justin and I still have my FH for any DGW where a few teams have two games.
OddDane
What are your thoughts on this lot? 0.6itb
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Trent I think would be making way if it were me.
And I have just sold Robertson tonight so I’m coming from a very similar place.
AJW
Who did you fob him off for GP?
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Mee
OddDane
Agree. This really hurts though, I took him in on a hit after he looked to have regained a bit of form. Alas. Should have avoided like the plauge… Liverpool are so difficult to follow this season :wacko:
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Still can’t be stubborn. They are a mile off it just now and gave some nightmare fixtures short term.
OddDane
I’m as easygoing as a donkey and bright as an old cow GP!
…Hmm but ok, you make some good points
Little Red Lacazette
How many FTs? 1 or 2?
OddDane
Just the one, putting out fires and creating new ones every week
Little Red Lacazette
I would roll that FT, Danish Arsonist. Have 2 ready for DGW 24.
OddDane
Fitting nickname that, thanks LRL
Like the new Prince!
Tornado
I think you are all set (even with a bit of a benching headache). I’d roll.
OddDane
Cheerio! :good2:
MattX
I think you’re fine for this week but I’d be looking to sell Trent.
OddDane
Cheers Matt, a sad moment of truth that!
MattX
Unfortunately but as I was saying on the previous page I’m considering selling all Pool players in the superstitious hope it will turn their real life fortunes! Couldn’t care less about my OR if it meant the team were firing!
Tornado
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen!
What should I do with those lot? Starting XI, bench order?
1 FT, 5.6 M ITB.
OddDane
Looks good to me mate :good:
inittowinit
Carry it and I reckon that’s also the correct line-up and bench, or at least how I’d have it.
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Yeah I like all that. Save FT.
MattX
Agree with the above!
Tornado
Unanimous decision for a change! Love it! Thank you all and good luck! :drinks:
IvanTheTerrible
OK, brought in Pope as planned. Do I play him over Martinez? And, do I stay with Soucek instead of DCL?
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
I would play Pope yeah.
Benching one is difficult. Don’t know.
MattX
The Martinez vs Pope argument is difficult and I think it’s extremely close. Basically I think Brighton and Villa have similar chances of scoring but think Martinez has the chance of getting more save points.
OddDane
I think I’d play DCL over Soucek or Gündo, but looking solid either way!
IvanTheTerrible
Thanks guys.
It will be a last minute decision once again about Soucek-DCL position. I left the former on my bench in the last two rounds which cost me 24 points waste. Playing him now, maybe he will blank followed by a DCL haul :blink:
Mitro
Evening
Team for GW23; good to go?
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
DCL may shock you but it’s a balls of steel call there any way you look at it.
Good luck Mitro :good:
Mitro
I did have DCL starting this morning, just don’t feel comfortable benching soucek
MattX
Looks good to me, Mitro!
Mitro
Thanks matt
