FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW37
Welcome to the FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW37. No sooner had we made giant strides into the top 100k after a run of 9 successive rises, our world and ranking came crashing back down. We scored 42, net 38 – below average and we slumped down to 87k. We’re not massively surprised as we all took a look at our team post Free Hit and cringed. Our only City player was not Sterling, or Jesus, or Sane. Nope we had Gundogan. And we didn’t even play him. Our best success was at the back with clean sheets from Dunk and our Burnley duo. Kane with a Monday night tap-in was our only goal of the week. Yep, it was that bad that even Captain Salah blanked.
We move onto this week – the big double and hope our luck changes. Some decent City coverage would help…..
Last Week’s Result –
Let’s go and see what we have decided to do this week…
This Weeks Transfers –
Sold Vardy, Salah and Bailly & Bought Jesus, Sterling and Chambers
Selling Murray was our initial priority, as we don’t feel he will do anything this week, until it became clear that doing so meant that the replacements suggested were all a bit sub standard as a result. Selling Vardy gave us a bit more scope. But still not quite enough scope to reach our intended targets of Jesus and Sterling. And so reluctantly, sort of, Salah came in to our firing line. Is it possible to say that a 43 goal, multiple player of the year winner has looked a bit off the pace in his last two games and may bomb again this week? That’s not to say he won’t suddenly go bang again against Chelsea, he may well do, but we were scratching around for any small reason to sell him to aid our other desired transfers this week!
Jesus and Sterling need little explanation, just take one look at their fixtures and form. We just need Pep to play ball now and start them both!
Chambers fell in to our lap, much as Arsenal did in to Simeone’s. We were already debating a move for the much more expensive Monreal in a different combination of transfers and then Koscielny got stretchered off and low and behold a cheap route into the Arsenal defence presented itself. Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth and all that…
The Team In Full…
Triple Captain Time! – Harry Kane
We are on our Triple Captain this week and the voting was close. Although, strangely, young Raheem wasn’t involved! We expected a split vote between him, Jesus and Kane and yet Jesus and Kane got all the votes between them. It was so close in fact that the deciding vote was cast by proxy by someone who didn’t even know the vote was occurring and was almost certainly asleep at the time! We won’t bore you with the details but suffice to say we’ve known him for 10 years, to say he’s risk averse would be an understatement, and he captains Kane more than Kane would captain himself.
The truth is that there is no clear cut candidate this week. All 3 could stake a legitimate claim and as we all know the correct answer will probably end up being some random player who nobody expected. Probably Glenn Murray knowing our luck!

All the best boys! Home stretch!
Have already taken a -4..but does chilwell to chambers represent a good deal for another HIT?
I don’t think you need to do that Isd. If it were for a non playing player than yeah, why not? But Chilwell seems nailed and may very easily outscore chambers imo.
Known him for 10 years, risk adverse… Is that FFCheat by chance?
Probably not I’m sure – that’s a fairly broad descriptor haha. The secrecy though… This is the start of FF247 fan theories ahah
All this aside, good luck to everyone this week! I know it’s a big week for many with points to catch up, triple captains to be played and double gameweeks to be had. Vamos!!!
Billybobby, its Kop.
haha of course! It all makes sense now – mystery solved!
Hey folks! Could use a second opinion…
A. Mahrez > Sterling
B. Mahrez Willian > Sterling Pogba (-4)
C. Willian Ryan > Sterling 3.9GK (-4)
D. Other (1 FT, 1.3 ITB)
Good luck this DGW!
B. Looks good – though Sterling might be a rotational risk – and we have been saying that for weeks lol!
Appreciate the input. Agree with you entirely… rotation or not though, I think sterling has to come into the team.
Erlanger – does Mahrez/Willian to Sterling/Arnie work? If so, I’d prefer that to any of the moves you suggested. Cheers
Team for the week. Thinking of
Kompany-chambers and Salah-alli for a hit
Is it bad idea to bin Salah and if not any other options for him? Or should I just stick with the kompany?
Cheers
I’d hold on for as much information on Kompany as possible before perhaps going ahead with that. The rest of the XV looks good and Alli *should* eventually outscore Salah this gameweek; a fortnight without your trusty Eyptian *shouldn’t* kill you… but it’s definitely risky. Depends if you’re chasing.
So I am chasing. I won’t be getting Salah back ….. when is the presser for city?
There are pictures of Kompany yraining this week so i’d hang on to him and wait for the presser.
*training
Taking Salah out for alli? Or another option. Bad idea?
kickers – I’d do Kompany-»Laporte and leave as is. You don’t need to hit here for Alli with Erik and Kane already in there.
That’s if Kompany os confirmed out of course.
And if he’s not out …….. Salah to?
If he is not out AND confirmed to play (which Pep won’t do) then play him. The only reason I’d sell Salah is to buy Sterlo which you already have so I ‘m not advising you to sell Salah.
Options for a kompany replacement if he’s out. I’ll have 6.5 to spend
It’s make or break time. Good luck everyone.
Does this look all set for the week? Some concerns over game time of the Chelsea lads and the form of the Leicester two but any moves would be for a hit.
Good to go SAFs
