FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW5
Welcome to FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW5.
Greedy B@stards Camp
This felt like a week when you either scored 70 odd and were happy with it or 40 odd and weren’t. And that all largely depended on whether you captained Aguero or not. We did the latter but somehow didn’t end up in the 70 camp. Probably because we had Pope, Soyuncu, Cantwell, Mount, Sterling, Pukki and Barnes all doing the sweet end of FA for us. A few noteables did show up, albeit briefly; Digne got an assist and somehow a bonus point, Zinchenko got a clean sheet and Salah got an assist. Although we were rather in the Mane camp of rage when we saw what Salah did and cost himself another sure fire assist near the end #greedyb@stard.
We ended up with 64 points, a meagre 7 above the actual overall average. We were actually a tad disappointed with it, having just deployed our wildcard, but we shouldn’t be too greedy having narrowly plumped for Kun over Sterling in the captaincy vote. It did mean a fair old jump up the rankings though, 20,000 places in fact and we now sit at 62,179th to be exact.
Our GW4 Result…
Going in to GW5 we have 1FT and £0.3m in the bank, so let’s go see what shenanigans this week’s meeting produced;
Our GW5 Transfer(s)
Having only just played our wildcard last week and with no apparent injuries to contend with it may come as little surprise that we have decided to roll our transfer and keep it for a rainy day. It may not make for the most terrifically entertaining of articles but in all honesty our team looks in decent shape for the week ahead and there is sufficient depth on the bench should we need it.
To confirm then we have HELD OUR TRANSFER
Captain – Mo Salah
The only real decision we had to make this week then was where to plant the armband. Essentially it was between Salah at home to Newcastle, albeit in the early game, or one of the City boys away at a fairly leaky Norwich. And it was Salah who took it with three votes with Kun and Sterling both grabbing one apiece.
Kun won the vice captain vote unanimously.

Morning guys. Last minute WC tinkering. Basically, Otamendi and Guendouzi or Lowton and Ceballos?

Hi all, cannot settle on wc team 1 or 2, any thoughts?
inittowinit WCC 2019 Winner
Team 1 probably suits the fixtures better in terms of Barnes vs Vardy.
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
I think having Vardy over Barnes will pay off better across the entire season and I think bringing in VVD for TAA and Rico for Dunk is worth it for that.
Team 2 for me.
swampster
Appreciate the thoughts thanks guys
Smash
Team 2 there
TheDreamers
Same Team 2.

Seems like this GWs captaincy battle is mainly between Salah and Sterling. Is there any particular reason a rested Agüero against an injury hit Norwich team is not top of pick? NOR defending is quite dreadful with their first team players so can’t imagine if they have to play their backup def. Basically any love for the FPL legend?
Smash
If I had Aguero it would be him
coys9
I’ve seen teams with Kun but capt is with Salah/Sterling. Wondering if I’m missing something out :scratch_one-s_head:
GentleBenAKA
Yeah same. If I had him I’d captain him. But I don’t. For the reason you give, I’m going for city rather than pool. I’ve just got to decide between Sterling and Kevin….
coys9
Hopefully it’s a goal fest with KDB, Sterling and Kun all :biggun:
Smash
This is tough Sterling or Salah? What’s everyone going for?

I was set on sterling until I saw the site team…
I still think city will put a few past Norwich and want to be in on that party.
I’ve got the captain choice wrong pretty much every week so far though…
MadHatter
Absolutely no idea!
I predict Liverpool will beat Newcastle 3-0 and City will beat Norwich 6-2.
Salah will most likely get 90 minutes, Sterling likely won’t.
Salah may be on pens and I expect Pool to be camped in Newcastle’s half so a pen is likely.
Can’t call it
inittowinit WCC 2019 Winner
I’d go Sterling out of those two myself, but yeah there’s not much in it. Give yourself something to look forward to after the ceremony with a pint?
Smash
That’s a good point
TheDreamers
Aguero
DMC
Sterling for me Smash
Sarri-ball
Finally settled on this WC team….I think!!
Went for Sterling/KDB/Salah/Haller over Sterling/Mane/James/Aguero…please say it was the right choice. I see Aguero scoring big this week, though…
Sarri-ball
Would you drop Pukki for Barnes?
Sarri-ball
I’d lose 0.3 on Pukki but I have 0.3 itb…
Smash
I like it how it is
Sarri-ball
This was the other option…
