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!

Good to go?
Looks good to me KP!
Kane, sterling or Jesus as TC?
Zaha to Rambo or Arnie?
Jesus TC
Saga to Arnie…
Cheers mate
Mitro, as you know I would keep Zaha and recommend you keep him. However, I think you are set on getting rid in which case I’d grab Ramsey if you think he plays both matches.
Thank you cookie!! 😉
Who’s your capo this week?
You mean Mitro doesn’t listen to us Cookie?
Only for Free Hit advice 😉
Jesus for me Mitro.
Good man Cookie i was starting to waver after hearing the presser regarding rotation !
Kane and hold Zaha for what it’s worth Mitro.
He doesnt want to hear that Gp…
Help!
Captain: Sterling, Jesus or Kane?
Hello Beka, how are you?
It’s likely to be Jesus for me. City’s form and two great home fixtures swing it for me vs what Kane has done in the past but doesn’t look like doing now.
I am great…thanks for asking. I’ll be back next season with some articles!
I am 13 points behind the leader in my league. I am thinking of taking an 8 point hit so that my team looks like this:
DeGea
Weak defender line but unable to change
Mahrez, Sterling, Young, Grob, Caroll
Vardy, Jesus, Kane
If I don’t take the hit I have Salah and no Jesus and Sterling.
Thanks! Still so undecided!
That’s the question everyone is asking! Lol
Perhaps the more pertinent questions
1.) r u chasing a lead? If yes – would u take more risk?
2.) what does your rival have?
3.) what does your gut say
Excellent questions.
Trailing lead by 13 points.
They have Sterling and Jesus and Kane (no Vardy).
Expected lineups soon? Pressure at work. Thanks.
When are the expected lineups Out?
Yeah will be published imminently
Hey guys,
Used my one FT for Gross to Tadic.
Was going to do that last week but went against that hit. Probably should’ve done that on hindsight
1.9m ITB
Plan to do Willian to Arnie(-4) as I’ve had enough with Willian.
Further I’ve 2 options but can’t seem to decide on one
1)Pogba to Eriksen and Lowton to a 4.6 defender for a total minus 12
2) Lowton to a 6.3 defender(suggestions?) For a -8 overall
Think I’m leaning towards option 2. Suggestions?
I like Lowton to Monreal
Yeah that’s an option. Probably might do that. I thought 6.3 on defender gives me many good options but I’m finding it tough to find a nailed on defender from a good team
Quick question guys. Is there any way to tell if price changes are likely in the next day or 2? Specifically on Eriksen and Salah (if I do Salah to Eriksen now, I’m 0.1mil short of being able to buy Salah back for GW38 at current values)
I’ve seen people say on here ‘so and so will rise tonight’ or ‘so and so will fall tonight’ but I’ve never understood how people know this!
Fox
The best site appears to be http://www.fplstatistics.co.uk/Home/IndexAndroid2
however nothing appears to be 100% accurate – hit the last page to see who may fall…basically above 100% and there’s a very good chance of a rise, minus 100% means a likely (but not guaranteed) fall.
It looks like Salah will fall tonight.
Thanks, that’s really useful. So based on that, Eriksen is expected to rise and Salah expected to fall
Correct Fox.
Bear in mind price changes occur in the early hours of the morning (UK time) so just keep an eye on it through the evening.
Salah may well rise again tomorrow if the thousands who have sold him buy him back at the cheaper price….especially if they sold him earlier in the week.
Thanks again.
I guess a separate debate is whether it’s worth using 2 transfers (Salah – Eriksen then Eriksen – Salah in order to have Eriksen playing 2 matches rather than Salah playing 1) as opposed to holding the transfer and having 2 free transfers waiting in the bank for GW38.
Fox,
for what it’s worth I wouldn’t hit twice to lose Salah to get him back. One hit maybe but not both weeks.
They wouldn’t actually be hits as such (i.e. not -4’s). They’d just use 2 transfers that I could otherwise save as free transfers for GW38
