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 guys
How’s this?
Not sure which 2 to play from these 4?
Lundy – Soy – Traore – Holgate
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
As you have it.
Bigpopz
Cheers G’
The Padster
Has anybody got a clue what i should be doing with Lundstram this GW, I’m saving my ft to raise cash to change him next GW possibly, but he does not look right 3rd from the left, not sure i should even be considering playing Guendouzi, so any other views on Guendouzi and bench line up will help my aching head :dash:
Stone Frog
Captain Pope is v v brave!!!
OddDane
Yes somehow that doesn’t look right. Surely C and VC between Salah and Kun here? (either fit for the C)
AJW
Well if for some reason Pope doesn’t get a run, then Holgate will bring home the bacon! Don’t worry – it’s just Padster’s humour!
The Padster
Haha AJW,! My captain and VC is not the problem, whether i choose the right one is another matter, I’m just trying to sort out the minor points, I’m playing in the 3rd round of the FF247 cup and i have no intention of disclosing my captain on here, walls have ears and all that! :rofl:
Bigpopz
I agree Lundy looks weird right out there but apparently he’s lost his place, however I’d probly still select him ahead of Guendouzi?
If not then maybe Webster and go 4-3-3
igy4
Morning all! Life has been a bit crazy over the last month so I’ve not been around as much and my scores have shown! Anything I need to do here? I’ve got 1FT and 1.4 available! Any suggestions?
Bigpopz
Igy
Team looks good, only weak link I’d say is Tammy 2 goals in 10 ?
and tough fixtures ahead. You fancy Ings?
igy4
Yeah I’ve been looking at Ings. Every week I’ve wanted him there have been other moves I needed to make! I’d be left with nearly 2m sitting in the bank with that move. Anywhere else I can strengthen?
OddDane
Hold the FT and flip Richarlison+Lundy/Kelly next round I’d say
igy4
Hi OddDane! I can do Abraham, Richarlison and Kelly to Ings, Son and Williams (Utd) but if I wait I have to hope there are no price rises otherwise it’s a -8!
OddDane
As others suggest you can also do Tammy > Ings this week (or other lower cost options, e.g. Wood, Deeney, DCL or Deulofeu) and see for next week if it’s Richarlison/Lundy/Kelly who needs to go. I have been trolled by Ings for weeks now which is why he’s first on the recommendation list for me
(still have him)
OddDane
I personally don’t mind Tammy, or his fixtures for that matter, but if you want to shift him I’d note there’s a chance he may drop in price soon
OddDane
*why he’s NOT first on the… :oups:
Brookyboy
Tammy to Ings for me Igy.
Stone Frog
Tammy to Ings and may be look at bringing in VVD next week.
Elleffcee
I have 1ft + 0.1 itb. Going to save the ft and stick with this lot this gw. Look ok ?
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
:good:
kumakier
Guys I really don’t know what to do.
I have two free transfer. I been wanting to get rid of Ali but spurs are facing villa which could be a cracker.
Anyways any transfers I should consider or just hold again?
Brookyboy
How much in the kitty ? Tammy to Ings and Kelly to Stephens (Southampton) ?
Stone Frog
+1
Elleffcee
How much in the bank ? Deal with Kelly, save wasting a ft.
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Kelly to Boly if that works.
kumakier
0.8 mil funds in the bank.
OddDane
Kelly to Aurier maybe a fun punt? He’s risky for his attraction to cards and silly moves though, but he does add the odd assist and CS every now and then
kumakier
Maybe. I will decide between him or boly.
specialK
Morning everyone, I lit the World on fire by bringing in Egan for Lundy. Still have 1 FT but 0 ITB. Traore for Grealish perhaps? Villa and Grealish have really hit a rocky patch. Here is my team at the moment. Thanks all.
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Grealish still looks good. I’d save it.
specialK
Thanks GP! Hope I don’t regret bringing in Aguero this week. Are you set?
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Yeah mate
Here it is.
