FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW6
No Hazard, no party, evidently! Seven of our players scored two points or less last week. Although that was a was fairly typical scenario, from looking around a bit. The identity of the other four probably dictated whether you had a stinker, an average week or a bonanza one. Our other four got 6, 9, 11 and 14 (c) so whilst not too shabby it still left us in the middle bracket. To excel last week one or more of them had to be Hazard or Fraser but unfortunately we had neither. We landed on 52 and whilst that was 5 above the average it saw us get the dreaded red arrows and a drop to 168k overall. Certainly one to brush under the carpet and move on swiftly from.
So will Hazard’s obvious form finally tempt us to move on from Salah? Or will we rip up our team in a knee jerk reaction and wildcard? Or will we simply decide on another genius move such as selling goalscorer Firmino for two pointer Vardy like last week?! Let’s go find out what the decision from the headquarters of the Cirque Du Solei of fantasy football discussions was this week…
Last Week’s Result
What have we done this week?
We’ve come to about six different decisions, basically! And at least three of those involved selling Salah. And yet we haven’t, ultimately. We only have one Liverpool fan on the panel and when asked about Salah he rated his chances of actually starting at “less than 50/50”. Which obviously sparked a fierce debate as to whether we should then simply sell him for Hazard. Six hours later, once the storm had calmed, he was asked to vote on the issue. And he declined to sell him! And then when pushed further on the issue still said he doubted he would play, but again wouldn’t commit to actually selling him. Confused much? We were a bit but it probably sums up all Salah owners feelings too. If he plays it’s a great fixture, in theory, if we knew he wouldn’t then Hazard in is an easy and understandable move. But we don’t know. and #LemsipGate doesn’t really clear the already muddy waters.
We decided to keep him, for now. Kane went through a similar spell not so long back and was sold off en-masse and then banged in back to back to hat-tricks out of the blue. That’s the thing with these ‘explosive’ players… they can explode at a moments notice. And it’s also why we exercise patience with them.
So what did we decide to do instead? Our midfield was beginning to look a bit barren, to say the least. Mkhitaryan starting in the Eurpoa League was probably the final straw for us as far as he was concerned. That on top of our 4th and 5th mids looking iffy at best meant that we needed a major overhaul in that department. And so we’ve set out on a path to correct our weaknesses and sold Mkhi for Fraser this week, with a view to selling Cairney next week for either Richarlison or Maddison. And it leaves funds for King to maybe Mtirovic or Zaha in our ‘blue sky’ future.
To confirm then, we’ve… SOLD Mkhitaryan and BOUGHT Fraser
The Team In Full…
CAPTAIN – AGUERO, VICE CAPTAIN – SALAH
Kun took the vote very easily, possibly on the back of our Liverpool fan and his Salah ‘uncertainty’. Aguero got rested midweek, in a fashion, but still came on late doors to show that he is is fit and available, we hope. It is Cardiff after all and with a bit of Pep rage in their sails after the midweek defeat you’d have to think that City may be motivated to prove a point.

Good FF247 team!
I have 1FT, 0itb. Any advice?
Hi mate, I’d keep an eye on Pedro. Willian looks like he has got form back and will most likely be the first choice as Pedro gets less minutes. Not sure when that will be but it will be sooner rather than later. Also saying that, I can see Chelsea sharing the points around quite a lot and even if Pedro comes off the bench, he can still score points. If Chelsea manage to break a team and are comfortably winning, their bench always does damage in the last 10-15min. Something to consider either way you look at it.
Hi Makeya, Pedro suffered a shoulder injury in last nights Europa game, Not sure how serious it is yet!
Hello lads. I like your thoughts on Fraser and I think I’m going to follow suit. I have two players I don’t like in my team and am contemplating a -4 to get some points. I have 1ft with Mikhi and Walcot that need to go. Who first if I don’t take a hit and who in if I do? Any thoughts welcome. 2.7 currently in the bank.
Here is my current team.
Keep Walcott. He still has good fixtures after this week and his form was good up to his injury.
Sell Mkhi for either Fraser or Pogba
Aguero or Hazard? Who do you think will be the proper captain for gameweek 6?
I am going with salah. From your 2 I’d go with kun. Hazard is due a blank and Westham is Chelseas biggy team
In the sense of who do we think will get the most points? Very hard to call. Both are strong captain options this week.
So I’ve used my 2 FT to do Salah and Walcott to Mane and Hazard.
Am I stupid to be tempted to transfer out Ings and Bilva too? I am worried about needing my bench this week as Bilva could be rotated and Ings can’t play this GW.
Options would be Maddison or Richarlison and King – or any other suggestions?
Cheers
Or Fraser and Mitrovic
Try to think long term. Ings is very handy in that respect. I think your team is fine going into this weekend.
BSilva is in last chance saloon for me but a game against Cardiff is as good as any. I suppose bringing in Fraser / whoever may allow an upgrade to Ings, down the line.
Is this worth a -4?
Micky t To pogba
Pedro to Fraser
It is likely that Pogba and Fraser will recoup the 4 points for you. So yes.
+1
Yes is fine. Both have fine fixtures up and coming and you’ve plenty of time to get back the points you lost.
Cheers guys
Site team did you pay 5.7m for Fraser?
Yes. We did put in a cheeky bid of 4.5 but they insisted on 5.7.
