FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW26
Welcome to FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW26.
I love it when a plan comes together…
More pertinently; a hit, ‘I love it when a hit comes together…’ That was the rallying cry from one of our panel on Saturday night and thank goodness that we did it. It’s difficult to put a number on how many points it gained us, or conversely how many it would have lost us had we not done so, mainly because we don’t know who we would have captained instead. A sliding doors moment, if you like. Or the Butterfly Effect. We can hypothesise all we like and come up with scenarios of having captained Vardy or TAA but the fact of the matter is that we would have come up well short either way. Salah was only one element of last weeks ‘hit’ though, the fact that Lascelles came in and kept a cleanie was equally as satisfying, especially so that Soyuncu (going the other way) conceded two.
As for the team itself, Salah aside, it was a one way street between defence and attack ; our defence (and keeper) got us a very rare clean sweep of clean sheets for a combined 18 points. Our other six attackers amassed 11 points between the 6 of them.
All in all then it was a satisfying haul of 67 points which saw a green arrow and a rise of 22k places leaving us in 106,713th place overall.
Our GW25 Result…
Let’s go see what was decided…
Our GW26 Transfer(s)
The one area of our squad that looked somewhat suspect this week was our defence, given that our newbie Lascelles goes to Arsenal and Kelly and The Lord appear to be out of favour. Unfortunately, our funds or lack thereof, dictated that The Lord had to go. Sad we know, but ruthless we are and it was just left to decide whether to buy a fellow Blade or Jack Stephens of Southampton. Both teams have good fixtures going forward but it was Saint Jack who won the vote, mainly because Southampton play in GW28 and Sheffield United don’t.
To confirm then we have SOLD The Lord and BOUGHT Jack Stephens
Captain – Mo Salah
The captaincy vote was just as straightforward – Salah’s trip to Norwich was too good for our conservative committee to ignore. Salah returned 12pts when Liverpool hosted Norwich in GW1 – a similar result in GW26 would be sweet.

Morning all. Do I take a punt on lundstram starting or start taylor
Lundy could keep coming on for 1 pointers… it seems like he’s lost his place. I’d go with Taylor if it were me.
Taylor seems safer for 90 so him.
Hey people,
) and giving Doucouré & Fleck a jersey,. This may well be Doucouré’s last chance before making way for either H Barnes or Henderson of Liverpool (in coming GWs of course – am already over-extended with a -4 this week, after getting in Henderson of Sheffield & Jiminez of Mexico!).
Just thought I’d ask your advice (why not?) – I now have the team of my dreams (Well it would have been if I hadn’t read online that the best replacement for Vardy was actually Firmino and not Jimi as I have done! Oh woe – there’s always someone who will sow the seed of doubt isn’t there?) -but do you think I have the right team configuration?
Am bravely leaving Maddie on the bench (first time since he joined the team!
Anyway, enough blahblah for now – you’ve got better things to do I imagine!
Found a great quote from Shakespeare (the Scottish play) that you guys could use when I go on a big ramble :
‘Avaunt and quit my sight! Let the earth hide thee!’
Hahaha! Will never lose my love of taking the piss out of myself! Trump & Johnson should try it sometimes!
Hello mate. Are you actually a Wolves fan or did you just pick a random team league to be in?
I’m sorry I just picked a good sounding one 2 years ago when I started playing. Since then I have found a great deal of affection for them though as I think their PL adventure has been a great and courageous one. Don’t really support any team specifically but admire many of them. Love watching City, Pool Leicester and a U others on their day. Could call me a neo football fan. Have discovered how fabulous it really is.
Was a fan of Twin Peaks though Dale!
Had you down as a general Premier league fan, at least you offered an apology for your sins 😉
(although hate to say it but agree on your analysis on them)
Am worse than a general PL fan – Aussie living on the continent – grew up on Rugby League and only discovered the beauty of PL football 3 years ago, despite watching. MOTD on TV in the 70s and 80s (was shown on Monday night in Oz!) and FA cup finals back then. Cheerio mate! Might make it to Molineux one day though. Here’s hoping!
Looks fine if you’ve convinced yourself on the Maddison benching (not that I’m disagreeing).
Best of luck AJW!
Thanks Geeps! Good luck this GF (Game Fortnight :))!
Anyone else concerned the city game will be called off? With the triple up and no bench cover I’m nervous
Don’t do this Rosco, not now!
I’m genuinely concerned! My GW will be over if it gets canceled :wacko:
Rosco, even if it’s cancelled due to the expected Sunday storm, the game will be moved to Monday or Tuesday and should still count, I hope.
What’s happening?
Zed :blink:
Strong winds? Don’t think it affects the game though…
Zed, this is just the start. The worst is expected on Sunday, all day.

Well let’s hope for the best and fear for the worst then :wink2:
I think if it was at the Vitality, or an older ground there would be a slim chance of postponement but i would have thought the more modern grounds are done well both inside and outside the stadiums. Cant see this one being called off unless large debris is flying about endangering people.
Grow a pair Rosco!
I’m off to an amateur game today and I’M ON THE COAST!
Elements.
Sundays forecast.Wind calms down for the 2nd half.Hopefully in the first half a few of Agueros shots are caught in the wind and fly into the net !!
Hear, hear :biggun:
Here…
Off the post you mean for Kevin to score the rebound :wink2:
Well it’s now literally in the hand of the gods!! Good luck all!!
For all we know it could be even worse the next weekend 😉
With loads with Pool treble
Hey folks, what do you reckon – all set and good to go or?
That team is ready. :yes:
Cheer GP, may you see the greenest of green this week
HI!, Does anybody know if Elleffcee has made the draw for the FF247 cup, 3rd round, as i cannot find it anywhere! :unknw:
Not yet Pads, been busy. Will do it shortly.
No problem mate, i just thought i was being thick and could not find it :laugh2:
Abu to kun and downgrade Traoré. Or leave as is, kun not starting is the only issue
Looks good.Leave as is.
Cheers
