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.

Hey guys some help needed! Got 1FT and 0.2 ITB Laporte will be leaving and was thinking for otamendi, happy to also take a hit. Any suggestions of any other moves?
Ac – message below is for u.
La Porte to Zinchenko
Barkley to Mount
Barkley jumps out there too plus WB. I think I’d be looking at Barkley and Laporte out. It then comes down to longer term thinking of structure ie if you wanted to take money out of defense , you would get a cheaper defender to line up a Kdb. A -8 seems ott but it is early in the season and getting kdb in for Barkley would appeal to me.
Morning all! Anyone considering benching Pukki? Conventional wisdom says no but arguably my first sub has a better chance at points? Thoughts?
Is this you playing the fixture and not the player again big boy? :slaphead:
I think there will be goals in that City game with it being very open
I take that as a no then!! :hippo:
:whistle:
I’m not considering benching Pukki. Ownership could hurt you. Or make it a genius differential decision.
Never bench a playing striker. That too when he is on fire and form. Thats a mistake we all have made in the past seasons and intend to make in future too, cause we silly.
We will score!!! Probably minus points for Lundstram 😉
By “we” I thought you ment Pukki for a minute there.
Morning. I can’t decide between kun sterling mane or kdb, at the moment I have it on sterling but now I’m thinking kun, need help.
All good choices. I don’t think anyone can categorically say one is better than the other.
If you need help, check the voting on the captain’s poll above.
I’d go Kun.
Thanks guys
Kun
Kun
Salah then? :popcorn:
What moves would you guys suggest, i know laca has to go with injury, willing to take a hit to fix dont want to wc just yet I have 2ft and 1.0m itb
Fraser to KDB and Lacazette to Pukki, Barnes or Haller?
I have KDB
Fraser to Cantwell play as first sub and Laca to Kun :good:
Laca to Haller
Fraser to Mount
Or this with james over Mount
Wow! The world is your oyster! You can do pretty much anything with 1m ITB and 2FT and a hit.
Lac to Aguero & Fraser to either Mount or Lanzini
Ah realised I got my sums wrong but I would look at getting in Aguero.
Laca -> Vardy
Team selection okay? No FTs left. Mings on bench is worrying me.
For me good to go. I’d stick with Montoya over Mings – I understand your dilemma though.
