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.

What do people think of Billing or Camarasa as a replacement for Chalobah?
Waste of a transfer in my opinion Matt.Why not just transfer Ings out for Jimenez ? Southampton have some tricky upcoming fixtures. Or consider losing Mendy ?
Not too sure there Brook. I only just brought Ings in and I have a feeling he could do well. With no time frame being given for Mendys injury I’m not sure what to do with him. If I sell him and he’s only gone this week then I’ll be raged but if I keep him and he drops but he’s out for weeks then I’ll be screwed that way.
Hello,
I’m glad the site team did the same transfer as me, except I did it last Saturday 😉 hopefully it will be better than last week Firmino to Vardy transfer.
I still have 1FT and 2.4 ITB, would you do anything else?
Some options I was considering:
a. Bilva to Dilva
b. King to Giroud
c. Mendy to Doherty and Bilva to Hazard for a hit
d. same as c but with Sterling instead of Hazard to bit a bit more adventurous.
e. hold FT
Thanks a lot.
*to be a bit
hi Frenchie, while your Hazard in plan looks tempting I’d hold the FT. your team is decent.
of course if it will turn out that Bernardo won’t feature, then pull the trigger imo
I’d hold the ft
Looking for some advice:-
Bought Mendy for £6.4m, now £6.5m will drop back to £6.4m tonight.
Keep Mendy,
Swap to Walker?
Swap to Tripper?
Something else?
Thanks
Jamie
hi Jamie, who are the other defenders you own?
Alonso, Robertson, Bennett & Wan Bissaka.
As he’s only gone up by 0.1 since you brought him he hasn’t made you any money yet, so you can afford to hold him for one price drop. Wait and see if there’s any news first but get rid before he drops below 6.4
I’d keep him, Jamie
any news on mendy?
Fraser v Maddison? Please vote.
Rest of the team: 0.2 itb. 1FT
Hennessey – Ryan
Alonso / Shaw / Mendy / Wan / Bellerin
Hazard / Mane / D. Silva / Pedro / Ward
Aguero / Mitrovic / Wilson
Going on fixtures (shameless self-promotion 😉 ) they are both great options but Maddy edges it for me. Leicester have amazing fixtures and he is a vital player in that midfield.
Fraser
Nobody minds that I have Wilson already and Stanislas is returning? Well, I can always do Fraser to Maddison in a few weeks!
Fraser, also has good fixtures coming up and 0.9 cheaper than Maddison which is quite significant.
In addition to my previous comment, Maddison has better stats.
Shots: 12 – 9
On target: 6 – 4
Off target: 1 – 2
1 woodwork for Maddison, more passes. The only better stat from Fraser is 6 big chances created v 1 of Maddison.
But yes, 0.9 is significant!
I’d prefer Maddison
Yeah, but Fraser is cheaper and also has a lot more points so far! The stats are one thing but you don’t know what kind of shots they are putting in for instance! Earlier I read that Maddison had a lot of shots outside the box for instance!
Stanislas has been out for a long time, he should be eased in slowly, can’t see him threatening Fraser’s place with such a form for now! The price decided it for me as suddenly you might need the extra cash in a week or two!

A bit more on Mendy Simon Stone BBC Sport
“Just a little bit more on Manchester City defender Benjamin Mendy. It has now been established Mendy has damaged a fifth metatarsal.The extent of the damage is not known and neither is the length of time he will be out.”
***
Hmm, I bought him from the off at 6mln and now a transfer value to me of 6.2. I’ve also got Ings out this weekend, plus Peltier on the bench. So, 3 playing defenders would be Alonso, Obi-Wan and Jonny (away to Utd). 0.1mln in bank and 1 ft. So save transfer and hope Utd don’t hit goalscoring form or take a -4 point hit and sell Mendy and Peltier and sort the defence going forward…
BUT if Mendy is only out for a week then it’ll be 0.2 loss to bring him back in and I only have 0.1mln in the bank. But when reports are that they don’t know how long he’ll be out for that doesn’t sound great….
To sell Mendy or not??? Hmmmm
