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.

Rosco
Evening all! Thought I’d share my crazy moves! Totally ignored the blank in 28 and took my quota of blanking players from 3-5! High risk high reward or just plain silly!? Only time will tell!!
MattX
Only played I dont like in there is Mahrez because of his playtime but when he plays he’s great!
Rosco
He’s there for a good time not a long time!
MattX
Haha hope it’s a great time!
jamesimmo
Oooft, you bloody animal, Rosco :biggun: this might just be what I needed to see! Agüero (c) just feels too dangerous to miss out on…
Rosco
Exactly mate! Playing with fire in my belly these last few weeks!
Kralin
I suspect it’ll all end in tears but whether they’re of joy or self-hatred, we shall see. Hopefully the former.
You may have to wildcard yourself out of the hole you’ve dug but that’s not too big a deal.
GoalMachine
McCarthy, Button
TAA, Soyuncu, Lundstram, Rico, Kelly……… going to sell either Kelly or Lunds.
Whom do I get in def? VVD or Robo or Stephens or Stevens or O’Connell?
jamesimmo
Robbo, funds and plans for the BGW permitting, for sure. VvD is heavily overlooked on here (and scores a header quite regularly) but his far higher overall ownership’s a turn-off, at least for me. You can’t go wrong with a Sheffield United lad, though. Fernández is also worth a shout.
MattX
Robbo for me. I’d go with Stephens if you needed the cash elsewhere though
GoalMachine
Short by 0.1 for Kelly to Robo…damn!
Kralin
VVD, then.
MrMajeika
What’s the best move here.
A) maupay to ings
B) Kelly to Robertson
C) vardy to aguero
MattX
B
Kralin
B and move for Ings next week perhaps.
OddDane
B or A I’d say
jamesimmo
Alright, so Kelly —> a solid ~£4.5m defender (Egan, Fernández, etc.) is now staring me straight in the face, yet I can’t help but feel uninspired. Plus, with Liverpool’s form, I already miss having Robbo join TAA in my otherwise tragic defence…
Vardy and Mané will no doubt make this 4-point hit another one to regret, but whom should I bring in for ~£7.3m in my midfield, assuming that I go through with the reckless moves below? Robbo would return for GW27 onwards.
MattX
One of the Leicester lads?
jamesimmo
That’s a tough decision in itself, haha, but I reckon that owning one’s a good shout. Adama’s yellow flag makes the decision somewhat easier. Thank you!
Rosco
Barnes.. stop being a wet and play with conviction :hippo:
jamesimmo
All of that fire! Consider it done x
Rosco
What did you go with mate?
Mitro
Evening
I hope everyone is well?
Should I roll my FT this GW or make a move? 0.2ITB
Still not convinced on my capo!
Rosco
No Aguero.. eek
Mitro
You had to do that didn’t you!!
Rosco
Haha I know your buttons man! Just have to press em!
MattX
I think you have to use it as Lord might not play. Kelly wont and I’m unsure if Rico still has his spot.
IvanTheTerrible
OK, with 2 FT and 0.2 ITB I can do Kun → Vardy and Traore → Mahrez.
That leaves me with really crappy defence. If I take a hit, can bring Aguero as above plus Traore → Maddison and Tanganga → Lundstram which allows me to keep Mahrez who should start with Sterling out. He will definitely go out next week for Redmond or JWP (if the latter is fit)
Is it worth taking a hit :scratch_one-s_head:
