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.

Hey guys have I got my subs right? I’m thinking Robertson or WB could make way for Hoj or Bennett? Or am I good to go?
I’d play Bennett instead of Höjberg, unlikely he’ll get any returns, Bennett could get a cleanie and bonus (even)!
I mean to put Bennett in front of Höjberg on the bench, not play him
Mkhi likely to miss out, or make a 1 minute 1 point appearance, so, if you put Bennett ahead it is almost like playing him
Cheers Kralin!
Hello all, long time no post, but now I need your help. Above you see my team, fit my 1ft I wanted to do Salah – > Hazard, but now with the news that Lloris is out, I’m not sure. What do you think, should I save transfer?
Crack on with it if that was the felling you had that that was the best move for you.
Thanks Init, not sure now because Vorm is a massive downgrade for the spurs defense..
I know, i know. Kane would score a hattrick soon. :P. How does it look??
Hello Constantine, to be honest I don’t like it! I think you will miss a lot of points without any Liverpool coverage! Apart from Hazard the midfield looks very weak!
Just read a great piece on Reddit on Maddison!! If someone’s been considering him again, you might wanna read this first!

I preferred the other guys argument…
I agree mostly with your arguments, and I will take it into consideration, since I need replacement for Walcott.
Here are my arguments for getting him.
He shoots a lot. It doesn’t really matter that most of his shots are currently outside of the box. He has a tendency to shoot, which could lead to lot of shots from inside the box in the future.He play advanced role. Often he looks like a second striker. This is the same as Gross last season. He is in the box on almost every attack, but he is midfielder on FPL.He passes eye test ( as you mentioned )Leicester looks good. This means that several players from Leicester could get points in next gameweeks. Vardi is coming back to a team. This could lead to more assist potential from Maddison. I also think Gray is good option.He is on set pieces. Even though he didn’t deliver yet, he will eventually deliver from set pieces. Almost all players on set pieces will get some points from it during the season.His price will rise soon. He is on 96.6+ on fplstats with low ownership, this means he will probably rise before the deadline, and if he scores this weekend, you could earn 0.2 on him in single gameweek ( this is important for long term progress of my team imo ).Leicester have easy fixtures
“He shoots a lot. It doesn’t really matter that most of his shots are currently outside of the box. He has a tendency to shoot, which could lead to lot of shots from inside the box in the future.”
This for me is an IF, meaning I’d rather wait and see. If he starts to shoot more inside the box I will consider him in the future! He’s on my watchlist, not on my WC draft at the minute!
Also if Gray takes set-pieces of Maddison that’s not good. Form over fixtures for me too regarding the easy fixtures!
Interesting argument thanks
Play any 2: (Alonso is confirm starter obv 😛 )
Wen Bissaska of CP vs Hud (Away)
Mee vs Wolves (Away)
Holebas vs United (Home)
Daniels vs Leic (Home)
Right now I have Alonso Mee and Wen as starters in team but thinking of swapping Mee with Holebas, suggestions?
I’d go with Bissaka and Holebas. I think they may all concede
Thanks smash, Yeah Burnley aren’t as good as last season, going with form over fixtures
