FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW5
Another green arrow and we’re into the top 100k for the first time this season. 96,136 to be more precise. We finished GW4 with 55pts which was 11 above the average. Once again it was our defence who led the way. Patricio had a clean sheet. Mendy & Robertson both chipped in with assists. While Alonso picked up a clean sheet, an assist and a bonus point. Elsewhere our capo, Kun, weighed in with an assist, Firmino got us a goal, while our new signing Lucas Moura picked up an assist. The rest all flopped, essentially!
Last Week’s Result
What have we done this week?
Possibly lost our marbles?! Possibly not, but time will tell on this one. We had 1 free transfer and £0.9m in the bank. And in all honesty a fair few avenues we could have gone down and a fair few issues we could have dealt with….
We’ve got Stephens and Cairney as our 4th and 5th mids.
We’ve got Mkhitaryan who no longer looks nailed on.
We’ve got Moura with (the) Son looming in his background.
And we’ve got King who we are getting disgruntled with, a feeling his many owners will probably empathize with!
And we’ve got Tomkins and Hamer both possibly injured.
So you know, just less than half the squad with some sort of issue hanging over them………
And so what did our esteemed committee vote to do? Sell Firmino!!!!!!
Why……. you may well ask. Well, I asked, and this is what I got back, verbatim –
“Because we wouldn’t sell him before the Southampton game!” (GW6)
“Our logic gets better by the week!”
“Sturridge will play GW6”
“Everyone seems to think Klopp will make changes for it”
“I don’t see it”
So yeah, erm, yeah! Don’t worry, I’m still none the wiser either. Oh and by the way, the incoming player is Vardy. That one I do understand at least!
One late addition probably went the most way towards explaining it though – “Klopp rotation over the next 6 weeks plus 4 tough fixtures in the next 6. Leicester’s fixtures are better and they won’t rotate”. That one probably nails it best, plus the small gain of £0.6m actually helps a lot towards fixing one or more of our other issues as noted above in the coming weeks.
So to confirm we have – SOLD FIRMINO, BOUGHT VARDY
The Team In Full…
CAPTAIN – AGUERO
This one was much less murky and certainly doesn’t need anywhere near as much explanation. None, in fact. Our new boy Vardy will carry the vice, as we are sure he does often in life, just in case Pep does a Pep on us all.

***NEW ARTICLE***
The team you’ve all been waiting for is here…
Cappo Kun- Assist..Just saying
Great write up Kop. Vardy looks like a good addition to the side.
Site team article on Thursdays. It’s like Fantasy Football Cheat all over again.
Cheers Horse. Not that I can take credit for writing it 😉
It’s possible that the site team could become a regular feature on a Thursday!!
Mane to Alli. Too freakish a move?? After GW9. he can become Mane again.
Possibly not given the fixtures. I certainly wouldn’t do it this week though.
KOP.. you think Alli might not start??
I’m sure he will. However, given the form of both Mane & Alli I’d back Mane to match or even better Alli this week.
Cheers my friend. It’s just that I’m on a WC and don’t trust that Pool cover is a must for the next 4 GWs atleast (barring Soton). OTOH, Spurs have Huds, Cardiff and Westham to play. Also, i have a hunch that Alli would score this game
I wouldn’t go without Liverpool cover on a WC.
Alli may be out of the match due to a hamstring problem. Check the latest news if you’re thinking of buying him.
Hi all. Thoughts on Pereyra v Schurrle please.
Pereyra
Ta Constantine. He’s who I have at the moment
Closer than I thought but I’d veer more towards Pereyra. They clash in GW6. Fixtures for both are ok, maybe Watford’s are narrowly better.
Thank you for another great article.
Salah to Hazard or Firmino to Vardy?
I have Mane aswell. Im going to activate my wc soon.
I think Kop made a great point on Salah a while back in that if you are going to risk going down the route of losing him for a bit it’s probably best to do so from a position of strength in still having a WC handy and hence the option of getting him back more easily. I wouldn’t be against either move in all honesty.
That was helpful wasn’t it!
Thanks alot
Dont know how to insert smileys, but there was supposed to be one.
I think Ill transfer Firmino out first and The we will se what happens during the wc
Salah’s stats are very similar to last year and we all know what happened there. Mane will drop off
I’ve done both myself mate. Definitely think Vardy could be a huge differential in the next few weeks.
So your opting for Firmino out? I dont like to dit behind the couch during the Chelsea game though
