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.

Hi good folks,
On a wild card with 0.1ITB
Am I good to go with this team?
OR should tweak it abit ?
Think I prefer Pope’s chances in goal.
Done! Though I’m not sure About tripling Burnley
Now 0ITB! Lol
Would u start ayew or lundstram/Lowton?
A few points that someone might not have thought about yet regarding picking a captain… I think Norwich has conceded a lot more goals than Newcastle, and they’ve got all the defensive injuries, although they are at home! But, and this might be quite important, Liverpool play CL on Tuesday, whereas City play on Wednesday… Could be Salah is more likely for an early sub than Sterling/Kun then, or am I completely bonkers? Just trying to separate Salah and Sterling with something
You make a fair point with Newcastle’s defense and the CL schedule. I mean Liverpool still wins this but they’ll surely have to work more than City to score and that takes its toll especially after being say 2-0 up. They are likely to stop working so much and leave it at that whereas city score with less effort. I think Kop will have another cricket score to write home about and it wont be at anfield.
Yeah that’s my point exactly, plus with Pool playing on Tuesday Salah perhaps more likely to come off early and Pool will just defend the 2-0 score, think City will score more goals quite easily.
Hi guys, kindly RMT. Who should I captain?
I don’t know, but check my post above! Think it’s as 50/50 as it gets, Pool at home but City plays CL on Wednesday and I think Norwich defense is worse… I’m tempted by City, tempted to pass the fact that Pool play at Anfield
Morning all. This is my current team ATM. OFT and 0.4 itb. Should I be benching AWB for lundstrum
I think that’s lined up fine eresh.
Who to captain?
Kun
Sterling
Salah
Pool CL game on Tuesday, City in Wednesday if that’s of any significance for you
Salah seems to be the perfect captain pick this weekend. But I can’t stop myself from picking sterling. Please change my mind! 😉
In the same boat… Norwich have everyone out injured
Yeah, but that damn aguero might steal all the points!
So might Mane
Ah! Good point!
Aguero Hatty incoming !!
