Form over faculties?
Welcome to FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW4.
GW3 was tough. Really tough. We brought in a couple of Ole’s babies and one eeked out an assist, the other sh*t the bed, to be frank. Martial got us 5 points for his troubles, Wan-B got us zero after a yellow card and a late goal conceded. Not every transfer decision can be perfect and Palace at home screamed clean sheet. In theory…
Wan-B’s defensive compatriots didn’t fare much better as they amassed 7 points between the sorry lot of them.
Our ‘left-field GW1’ pick McGinn got us an assist to keep things ticking along in the midfield budget basement. Our premium mids did what they do with Salah and Sterling (C) bringing home 31 between them.
Up top we may have some issues as Jota and Kane got two points apiece.
Overall we got 53 points, which was 9 above the average. It somehow meant a green arrow, albeit the tiniest of ones and we moved up 300 spots to sit at 82,365th.
Our GW3 Result…
Let’s go see what was decided this week…
Our GW4 Transfer(s)
Problems have been mounting as Martial has been ruled out, Walker-Peters looks likely to be so, our front-line is mis-firing, our back-line is conceding and even our sub keeper was getting so fed up with them all he buggered off on loan to Ipswich for the season. Now we could have ridden some of this but in all honesty a mini overhaul was on the cards and we wanted to jump on some in form players early doors before their prices prohibited us from doing so. As such we voted to WILDCARD this week.
As for our actual picks many (most) need little or no explanation as quite frankly it looks like a who’s who of who has scored the most points recently. We believe that is called ‘form’ though and so make no apologies for doing so. Our front-line is a case in point; it now consists of the three highest scoring forwards in the game. Chasing points much, you may ask. In all honesty no because they are simply the form guys and we wish we had had the hindsight to pick them all from GW1!
If you have further questions about the choices please feel free to ask them in the comments below and we are sure one of the committee will be on hand to offer any explanations but as we say it looks pretty straightforward as to the why bit in most cases.
To confirm then we have WILDCARDED
Captain – Ben Stokes Sergio Aguero
If we could have captained our hero Ben then we would have (many did in the Captain Poll!) but it was a toss up between Kun and Sterling and it could have been either way round really. We clearly feel that City may go on one this week, despite Brighton’s promising start. Kun edged it narrowly, Raheem will back up if Pep suddenly decides to lose his mind rotate.

Hi All,
I am on WC this week, Please vote, A or B.
B
A there is not much difference you could have just posted the differences rather than both teams
A.
It’s basically Adrian as a backup and Ceballos over Mount and no GK backup.
I think Pope is good enough cover at GK even for the tough weeks, and Mount could edge Ceballos especially in the short to middle term, with his fixtures.
Also helps to keep the money less scattered about if you wish a redo.
It is A than, thanks to both.
Pieters over mings?
Yeah just.
Fixtures are fairly equal after this week but Burnley have a proven pedigree of being tight, Villa are unproven at this level yet plus you’re talking a semi attacking fullback over a CB. That said it wasn’t me who picked him and that particular spot wasn’t overly* discussed.
*not discussed at all
Fair enough. Thanks for the reply
Current team:
Ryan
TAA VVD Zinchenko Kelly Smith
Salah Sterling Martial* Mount Dendoncker
Vardy Pukki Greenwood
Would you WC to this?
Pope Button
TAA Digne Zinchenko Söyüncü Lundstram
Salah Sterling McGinn Mount Dendoncker
Aguero Pukki Greenwood
Could you hold off and activate during the IB?
Think I will do that. Hope Greenwood starts. Will play him ahead of Dendoncker. Good luck this GW Gallant.
Jeez, just seen your 2017/18 season. Did you cap the right guy 38/38 times right?
That was quite a season – probably never to be repeated 😯
In my experience it is better to do WC at beginning of the week rather than close to deadline to pick up price rises. I would wait for international break if I was you.
Nah not for me
What do we think Kane will produce this GW. I need him desperately
Hopefully close to what he did last week as I just sold him for Kun!
Init
TC Kun?
If not, why not?
Only reason why I would not TC is because it’s so early and you have to live with the decision all season when everyone is banging on about it later in season. I like to at least see what the doubles look like or who the truly awful team is. Then it’s Salah or Sterling vs then really.
The main drawback yes.
Cheers Smasher.
No GP, that ones for a DGW, as you well know.
:good:
Why do you need him desperately? Much better value out there I think. Spurs could struggle if they don’t start Eriksen. Although Kane does have a good record at arsenal.
I do think Kane will score this week although I think (and hope) Arsenal will be the better side and Kane will just nick a single goal/penalty rather than go on a scoring spree.
Don’t think anyone should be ‘desperate’ to get him in this week though considering Spurs form atm and the amount of disappointment he brought people last week resulting in a massive selling frenzy!
Aguero on the other hand could well warrant the ‘desperately needed’ tag imo
I think he might actually get sent off
Think I’m set. Though the -4 was unnecessary I’m quite happy with my team going forward
The hit is justified if you’re happy with your side Smash.
Ceballos for Cantwell is the only one I would odds (I assume you’re close on that one yourself?). Maybe not, but I think that’s worth the consideration.
Yeah I’m pretty happy with it going forward. Don’t think I’m close to a wildcard. -4 was looking ahead with Barnes and price changes which is not the right reason Yeah I would have been but Ceballos did not look great last week while Cantwell has looked good
Just some caution on Mount. SHU have the 2nd best xGC so far and then it’s Wol (A) & Liv (H). Three fixtures after that look great
