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.

Okay so i admit im not doing so we this season, and ill turn this around soon enough. So, does my crap team deserve a WC?
Gross Out. Mendy doubt. Mkhi Out. Stephens wont bring more than 1 point, and if he does im buying donuts at work. Lastly, a bench that can be used as an ingredient of a stink bomb.
Guys, its now or never. Im counting on Rosco to write a detailed analysis on my teams situation.
Players that need to go imo:
1) Bednarek
2) DDG
3) Peltier
4) Zaha
5) Mkhi
6) Gross
I would probably WC, you could end up with 8-9 men there quite easily!
There is no need for a detailed analysis I’m afraid your situation is dire! Haha just kidding!
I do think there is a good argument for a WC, however if you simply don’t feel like it, I’d downgrade Grob (Fraser would be my choice) then use the money to upgrade one of your non playing defenders to either Shaw/ Peirera/Doherty/Bennett.
Give Mkhi this week then switch him to Richarlison and then use the money left to upgrade your other non playing defender. 😉
Oh and I think a -4 would be ok given that bench and the Ings situation!
Mkhi has an ankle injury he picked up late in the game
Nothing wrong with your team that a -8 wouldn’t sort out….. 😉
A hit? That sounds gross!
I hadn’t seen the Mkhi injury, I think with potentially 6 injuries / players ineligible and a couple of players who are not doing so well I would be inclined to WC. If not then when would you use it?
Im not sure. Last season I had to use it at the last moment just for the sake of it. This season i am hit by a catastrophe early on, so might as well use it?
I use 1FT on Gross who is out, and I still have 2 inactive players (Mendy and Mkhi), with absolutely no back up on bench.
Guys, I am doing it.
It’s a good time to WC mate, I WCed last week even though I was in a better situation than that! Somehow feels good to get it out of the way!
ok,. I did post on another thread the other day, but thought as its Friday, and this is newer, I will try this one as there is more news.
Help needed.
1xFT and 0.7m ITB
1. Wally->Richarlison
2. Wally->Richarlison and Kante->Fraser
3. Carry over FT
Captain Aguero.
The leader has Hazard, and is 60 points ahead. I have toyed with the idea of getting Hazard, but is it worth it? I would only match his points, but having Salah(although he has him as well), is not paying off. I will still play Arnie even though he is a doubt for the weekend.
Thoughts please.
Well at so early stage I would say that don’t think what the rival has! It’s too early for that, if you think Haz is a great option for your team then get him in! You only match his points but at least you’re not getting further behind! Just play your own game, and wait for April 2019 and then start thinking about the rival imo!
I agree completely with Zed here. Just play your own game.
I want to be different, so will maybe steer clear of Hazard for now. He doesn’t have Firmino (yet), so hoping he could be a difference maker. (Rival has used his wildcard and triple and I haven’t)
Do you guys think I need to do any transfers this week, taking into account that Pedro might play, as well as Arnie being a doubt.
Or is my team ok to go for this weekend.
I think Pedro will be rotation risk anyway so I’d sell (I’m selling) for Maddison/Richarlison/Fraser/Pereyra(if you want to be different 😉 )
If that was my team and Arnie and Pedro are ruled out i would strongley consider using my wildcard !
From what I have read, they are doubts. Reports reckon Pedro will play, although some say different. I am going with those that say he will, including those reports from him. As for Arnie, at 7m, I think he is worth keeping.
I don’t want to pull the trigger on a wildcard just yet.
Team locked and loaded.
Decided on Aguero as captain
And not to spend the free transfer I have left.
Looks good to me DD.
Afternoon folks, how does this mess look? Second week in a row I’ve started with a back 5 even if Mendy auto subbed out. I only have 1 FT and 0.1 itb so not much to work with.
That squad could be a lot worse, bud. Could have been like mine was before I activated the wildcard! How about changing Chalobah to someone who’ll definitely start and then you’re ready if Mendy doesn’t play.
Cheers mate. I’m going to have to change Chalobah now that Mendy is confirmed out.
Hmm, Mendy is out. What to do, what to do.
I was expecting that. I have no idea I don’t really want to get rid but how long is he out for
Exactly the same. Think I’ll just switch Walcott out to someone else and play him instead of Mendy for this week and reassess next time round.
Guardiola conference starting, may get Mendy news
