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.
Our GW26 team in full…

piksi
Who shall I start With Traore or Martial, also my second team Dendoncker or Greenwood!
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Traore and Greenwood
piksi
Thanks GP
The B
Not doing 2 teams simultaneously. No thanks.
Kralin
Maybe they’re just doing a Liverpool. Perhaps there’s a hitherto unrevealed third team as well.
The B
Revealing his/her third team would be a massive depressing plot twist.
piksi
I usually have one, this year my son started than give up after 3rd GW, than I had to do it
bees393
Which one of these 4 should start? Fleck, Holgate, Stephens (SOU) or Egan?
Thanks!
Elleffcee
Fleck for me.
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Fleck.
The B
Holgate
Neilos
+1
bees393
Thanks all. Have Fleck in.
Little Red Lacazette
Fleck
Elleffcee
I’ve got 9.5 for a mid, not sure who to plump for. Already have Mo/KDB/Noble/Douglas Luiz, any thoughts peeps ?
The B
How much is Son? Or Mahrez?
Kralin
Just had a ramble about midfielders. Redmond, Barnes and Richarlison are all on my radar (to replace Grealish).
Good luck this GW.
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Mahrez or Bernardo if it’s for a week ot two.
Redmond or Traore for longer.
bees393
Mahrez + Traore for me.
bees393
How many of you are captaining Aguero? I have him and anxiety has set in. :wacko:
(Would probably be the same if I cpt’d Salah).
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Salah for me bees.
IvanTheTerrible
Bees, I am. Brought him in especially for that reason
gaz03
Morning guys, currently chasing in my ML. About 40 points behind the leader, who is 33k overall! We have a very similar team and my only differential is going to be captain choices. He will play it safe with Salah, if I had Kun I will defo go with him but only have KDB. Would u captain KDB over Salah this week? Cheers
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Doesn’t sound the craziest idea I’ve ever heard.
You would think that KDB would have a field day passing through that West Ham side. Notwithstanding the fact he could grab a goal or two himself.
bees393
No, maybe wait a week and get your differential then?
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
1FT and 3.3mln to spend.
I have an idea but lets see what the unbiased public say first ….
Thanks all.
piksi
As you haven’t got any city player I would do Vardy to Kun
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Thanks for that piksi – it is the stand out offensive move but I worry that I’ll inevitably want to switch back when Leicester have a nice couple of home games and Aguero has that rotation risk hanging over him – City themselves are up and down this season.
OddDane
Hey GP does either of these look appealing?
Noble to Richarlison
Snodgrass to Mahrez (potentially Alli)
Grealish to Son (can’t see your selling price may be underfunded)
OddDane
On second thought i’d probably not take Richarlison so scratch that…
