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.

Who is more likely to play with Sterling out?
Mahrez or Bilva?
What are the winning lottery numbers this week? Who knows on both fronts! Maybe 1 maybe both, I bought Mahrez but it’s a gamble at best
Has to be Mahrez.
Sane is also said to be back in training? 😉
Guys. Any chance Traore won’t be starting?
Every chance
Yeah, but more than usual? He had a knock and has been yellow flagged for a while. I think he should be fine in a week right?
I was shooting the shit with Nuno Espírito Santo earlier and asked him that very question – I even put emphasis on ‘more than usual’.
He said – and I hope this soothes your nerves – that not only will Traore play but that he will score ‘the greatest f* goal ever ‘.
The manager seemed confident over Traore starting this GW.
After all the tinkering I finally opted for Lundstram to VVD. I have 0.4 in the bank and no free transfers. Am I good to go? Thanks all.
All looks as sound as a pound.
Cheers Kralin. I had thought about Vardy to Jesus for a moment but have held off….was tempted though…you all set?
That would have been an interesting move but I admire your prudence.
Yes, just a quiet move on the defenders’ front this GW.
Next week will be moving Grealish along so will be looking at the likes of Redmond, Barnes et al this GW to see how they get on. I also thought the TC could come out when Liverpool play Bournemouth, perhaps – my first thoughts about the TC. But that will depend on CL games etc.
Best of luck.
Yes looks good. Would have preferred a Sheffield boy at the back instead of VvD, but he is a sound option too.
Would you play Boly or Soyuncu this week? They’re up against each other, however Boly is at home… Think neither will keep a cleanie though
Boly.More goal threat and is at home.
Would go Boly.
Cheers lads!
Hey guys. Finally, had to say Sayonara to Mane. Took a -4 hit for Aguero and Traore. Traore is in due to Wolves good fixtures. How does it look?
GTG.
Cheers Little RL
Traore has Leicester and Spurs in next 3. But yeah he could give some returns.
Noble first sub because of penalties.
Thanks B. Kelly is out injured. Wolves have Norwich in GW27. Then after the Spurs game, four great fixtures again. Might get Jimenez as well for these games. But re Traore, even a single assist is welcomed.
Going with this team for this GW. Thoughts?
Looks good. Trossard to Traore?
Brought Trossard in for Noble this GW. 😯
