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.

Good evening gents. Feeling quite unlucky this season and lagging behind. Might need to take some risk to catch up in ML. 1 FT 1.4m Itb. Any thoughts?
HazK84
Vardy to Aguero and downgrade elsewhere?
coys9
I would need 1.2m and probably the only option is downgrade to Mane but fixtures looks tasty
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Coys
I would maybe save that. What are you thinking of doing?
coys9
I’m inclined to save as well but not sure if there’s enough differentials in this lot.
coys9
Is it worth to do Mane + Vardy to Son & Kun for -4?
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
I don’t know. Assume you would captain Aguero in that circumstance?
coys9
Possibly but not sure if I like the earlier kick off
Raziel
Mane will play and will be fresh… So no..
coys9
I do hope so if I keep him :good:
khaledhesham
Please rate my team below
I have 1 FT and 0.1 in bank also whom to captain
HazK84
Looks good mate! Would play Martial over ward though
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Probably play Martial yeah.
Salah must be favourite for captain I would think.
HazK84
Evening All,
I’m taking a punt on Aguero with TC chip!
Who to play Martinelli or Holgate?
Good luck this GW!
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Martinelli I think.
HazK84
Thanks GP!
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
That all looks pretty reasonable Site Team.
Best of luck.

Hi all. Thanks for the articles this week. Definitely helping with my transfer this week.
Gazza can finally leave the side it seems – looking at McCarthy. Sensible? Someone else? Got £0.6m itb so £5m max.
Should I be prioritising something else?
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
AT
Sounds the best idea to me. McCarthy is a good choice.
AT
Cheers boss
MattX
Dubravka could be another option but McCarthy is a good choice.
MattX
Evening everyone. I’m thinking of doing Kelly to TAA. That would leave me with 7.8 to replace Cantwell but will also need to upgrade Fleck for BGW28. Should I spend most my money on Kelly to TAA?
Rosco
Just get TAA, worry about next weeks move next week!
MattX
That settles that then! Cheers mate
Rosco
I wasn’t being dismissive but anything can happen in a week and still having £3m in the bank opens up a myriad of options!
MattX
Oh I know! Just meant should I bring in someone cheaper so I’d have more to upgrade the midfield.
MattX
Now that I have the transfer set. I have a lineup headache. I’m thinking of benching Ings for Trent and putting him first in my bench. What do you think?
Rosco
No, bench maxi
