FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW8
Welcome to FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW8
Don’t panic…
When McGinn is your joint top scorer on 8 points and he isn’t even your captain you could be forgiven for panicking. But, alas, it’s all relative, and most people were in the same boat this week.
Our new signigns Mings and Abraham proved to be unispired choices as they combined for a grand total of 3 points. Elsewhere we had Sterling on 7, Mount, Pieters and Soyuncu all with 6, Salah on 3, Pukki on 2 and Pope on 1. Our captain (Aguero) didn’t even start the game, although he did come on and notch a belated assist.
All that left us on 50 points, 1 below the average, and an inevitable red arrow, our first of the season. It knocked us back about 20k in the ranks and we are now at 61,495th. It happens… don’t panic.
Our GW7 Result…

Let’s go see what was decided this week…
Our GW8 Transfer(s)
Boringly but probably very sensibly we have unanimously decided to hold our transfer this week. As you can see our team looks decently set up for GW8 and having 2 free transfers for after the international break may turn out to be very useful.
To confirm then we have held our free transfer
Captain – Raheem Sterling
With Sterling getting a partial rest in midweek we expect/hope (delete as appropriate) Pep to play him on Sunday, while we do not have the same level of confidence that Aguero will be as lucky! But we live in hope!
With Wolves having faced a long and tricky Thursday evening in Turkey, albeit a winning one, we would expect City to come out flying with or without KDB.
Salah is our vice captain, just in case we get Pepped!

Sane planning, sensible tomorrow.

Morning all. Should I save the ft or I’m looking at James- Mount.
0.9 ITB

If it involves taking a hit, I’d hold on the transfer. I’d rather have 2 FTs for the IB.
FplDoc789
Has nothing to do with the Site Team btw
😛
Offalymartin
I have 1ft but wondering should I save it or not 😆
Beaker
I have 2 ft so might as well use one. Anything obvious. Could do KDB out but then I would need to bring him in in 2 weeks again.
I know Wickham is injured but I plan to change him in a few weeks anyway and he’s just bench fodder
Horse
Nice side Beaker. How about Kane to PEA?
Beaker
Thanks, yeah could do that. Keep looking for reasons to lose Kane then he keeps scoring a goal
Horse
He’s annoying like that. 😉

Since you have 2 FTs’ why not wickham to Green wood. 0.1 mil cheaper and will give you 1 point if it comes to it..Nothing to loose in my opinion since your other parts looks fine.
Beaker
Yeah that is the other logical move if I can’t see anything else
Special Agent Dale Cooper
As you don’t have many changes to make right now you could swap out KDB for Mahrez for this week (depending if you don’t lose too much value in him by doing this), could really pay off big. Then you still have the two transfers the other side of the IB to swap back which puts you in a prime position to do a move like this. Just a thought.
Stone Frog
Kane and Wickham to Abraham and Wilson?
kickers
Should I stick with current team or change something. 1ft and 0.3 itb Cheers
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Save. I don’t think there’s anything needing done there.

Thanks guys

Hi all. Made my transfer early in the week getting rid of Aurier, Lamela and Haller for Wilson, Soyuncu and Yarmolenko. Am I good to go? Or should I rearrange my bench? Cheers
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
I think I would play Digne over Guilbert.
