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.

MrMajeika
Am I good to go. Keep thinking I should swap Martinez for meslier
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
I’m worried about points on the bench there (but not from the goalkeeper!)
Honestly, I like Martinez enough to stick with him here.
MrMajeika
Yeah same could well be alot of points on the bench almost seems mad to bench those 3. Just think Justin and coufal have higher chance of clean sheet
Mitro
The city/pool game could end up being a boring 0-0! I hope not though!
IvanTheTerrible
Las minute Captain Poll
As they say, morning is wiser than the evening. What are your last thoughts on captaincy?
1. Bruno
2. Son
3.Antonio
4.Bamford
5.Other
Mitro
I have the same players probably would switch Antonio with son based on your order.
Hoping Bruno bangs tonight!
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
I’m all over the captains shop this season so take mine with a pinch of salt but I’m thinking I may leave it to Monday night and go with Bamford. Last game, I know he plays, can score well, need something to spark etc.
Like I say, I’m having my worse captain run in my life and I’m desperate.
Mitro
Maybe just play it safe and go with Bruno?
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Don’t have.
Mitro
Lol ok! I will shut up 😉
IvanTheTerrible
Although is risky, all signs show Antonio as the best pick for this week.
IvanTheTerrible
I might take a chance.
Cookie
Ivan, don’t think it’s that risky, he will be a popular captain this week, prob alongside Bruno and Son.
Given Pogba prob returns this evening, history tells us that lessens Bruno’s points, while Son is in no form as per his team. But of course he has the fixture.
Antonio has the form and the fixture.
IvanTheTerrible
Thanks Cookie, I am now seriously considering this option.
Mr Bean
I honestly don’t have a clue what to do with this team?
Wouldn’t want to drop City, Leeds, Soton or Fulham players as confirmed DGW’s coming up.
Wouldn’t want to drop Fernandes or Grealish full stop.
Wouldn’t want to drop West Ham players for their next 2 fixtures, or Villa for their possible DGW’s.
So all im left with is Salah, Maguire and Brewster…
Only got Salah back in last week, and no replacements stand out. Maguire to Burnley defender maybe, but their next fixtures and probable DGW 26 are good. And who in the starting XI do I drop if I upgrade Brewster?
£3.4m itb, 2FT, though I only want to use one.
Thanks all!
MrMajeika
Maybe get pope?
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
That was my thought – even though Areola also has a double, I would still prefer Pope.
Mr Bean
I already have DGW keepers in GW 24 and 25, so don’t feel the need for that.
Leaning towards Coufal (maybe Maguire) to Mee now tbh.
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
I don’t mind those either.
Mitro
Morning
One last time, team for GW23; good to go? Hoping benching stones and DCL doesn’t come back to bite me.
TheDreamers
Looks good to me Mitro
MrMajeika
Looks good
Mitro
Thanks dreamers, who’s your capo?
TheDreamers
A bit late Mitro. I went Son. I’m having a terrible season so feel I have to go for non obvious
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Can’t argue with the starting eleven.
Mitro
Cheers GP! Capo?
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Do you have Bruno? 😉
Mitro
Yep DCL has come back to bite me!!
TheDreamers
Whats your points for your captain?

Mine is 270 only
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
206.
Awful and I don’t know how to improve it.
Mitro
276 for me
MrMajeika
328
IvanTheTerrible
242
OddDane
Wow. 316, that’s more than I’d expected.
OddDane
Though recent form hasn’t been solid.
Stone Frog
264 so not great. My team ID is only 4 numbers which seems odd.
Shadow
Daren’t check mine..
Loud Atlas
286 for me (and I’m on a run of 3 bad cap choices in a row! :no: ) .
288 for my son – he’s having a better season than me in general!
TheDreamers
These actually made me feel better
Little Red Lacazette
320 for me.
TheDreamers
boo
Phoenix619
Used ft to do Martinez -> Pope :yes:
Will save next ft to have 2 for Watkins & Gundogan to Bamford & Raphinha ??
Am I good to go for this GW ? Skeptic abt going with the masses for Bruno as Salah caused a lot of red arrows last gw. Advice Captain pls
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Looks fine for this week.
MrMajeika
If your not sure about Bruno you could go with son
