FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW9
The King is dead, long live the King…
Welcome to FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW9. GW8 was a disappointing week for many a side and we were no exception, sadly. We scored just 40pts which was still amazingly above the global average of 36. Our highlights reel therefore reads very quickly and is led by Tammy Abraham (8), Pope & Mount (7) and good ol’ Lundstram with 5pts. The rest have been sent off to have a big old think about their performance and we expect a stark improvement once the international break concludes.
We somehow managed to avoid any vast plummet in rank, which probably sums up the GW for ‘those who have being paying attention’. We fell just over 800 spots to basically break even at 62,802nd.
We have 2 free transfers available and £0.3m to wield for GW9 so the threat is there if any of the underperformers return without their tail between their legs. They have been warned…
Our GW8 Result…
Let’s go see what was decided.
Our GW9 Transfer(s)…
This week’s meeting was short, sharp and to the point, mainly because we were largely happy with what we had. But at the same time we did spot a small flaw, along with a bigger opportunity. Had we not had 2 free transfers we may well not have done this but when we looked at Pukki and then looked at Bournemouth vs Norwich we wondered who would score more, and the answer seemed obvious; Norwich are dead set bottom of the ‘Away’ table with 4 losses and just 1 goal to their name, wheras Bournemouth have scored 7 at home. Plus Bournemouth have a pretty decent run of games ahead. And Pukki has failed us 3 times in a row. We are ruthless if nothing else!
Our thought process then went a bit like this;
– Lets’s get Wilson in for Pukki.
– We can’t afford Wilson without a 2nd transfer.
– Ok so let’s bin Digne.
– We (strangely) fancy Digne this week. And who would we get anyway, we already own a fair set of cheap desirables!
– Ok, so let’s get King.
– Isn’t he just a cheap mans Wilson?
– Yes.
– But he’s not far behind in points. Plus he’s on pens.
– And we carry another FT.
And so it was.
To confirm then we have SOLD Teemu Pukki and BOUGHT Joshua King
Captain – Tammy Abraham
This was far less clear, as we had 3 votes for 3 different players. For the record those were 1 for Tammy himself, 1 for Sterling and 1 for Kun. The deciding vote took on a strange but logical logic; the voter went away and looked at a few Captain Poll’s, along with our own, and the conclusion was that Tammy was streets ahead in them all. It’s hardly daring-do and it’s hardly innovative and it does smack of self preservation but as ever it’s also very much ‘us’.
It was also somewhat surprising but perhaps it’s a combination of Chelsea’s good form, Tammy’s good form, uncertainty over Sterling’s form, uncertainty over Kun’s game-time and Liverpool facing ‘Man Utd’.
Then again Newcastle have conceded 11 away from home. In Tammy we trust then…

Thinking Pukki to Abraham and vandijk to something cheap. Any suggestions Mings dunk?
Any help appreciated
Cheers
Not bad moves. Mings has pretty nasty fixtures though so Dunk out of the two
I think I might have suggested Dunk to you yesterday so for that reason, Mings
Nah, Dunk still mate.
Good luck!
Cheers both. Couldn’t find yesterday’s comments so thought I’d double check!
Morning everyone,
Sorry I’ve not been on as much as I would have liked recently. Here’s my team – am I good to go?
Ta muchly!
That’s because you’re swanning off all over Europe again birthday boy!
Perfect team.
Haha, thanks bud
Looks good to me
Cheers, matey
Hey all! Hope everyone is excited as I am for the fixtures this weekend..
I have 2ft and had thought about a late wild card (still on the table) but currently thinking of doing a -4 to take out Salah, Son and Pukki for Mane,Maddison and Vardy. Thoughts? This would give me 1.4 itb for me to swap Van Djke for TAA or Digne later down the line. Any other advise would be appreciated.
Possible transfers
Possible wild card team?
I wouldn’t wildcard or take a hit. Put simply, the three guys you’re taking out could all score goals this weekend.
Honestly, your attack is fine. I think you have issues in defence with Zinchenko and Digne being issues for me.
Hope about changing Zinchenko to Soyuncu or Fredericks and rolling a transfer?
Madisson + Conolly or Vardy + Dendo? Obviously first option would save appox 2m.
Prefer the Vardy route for Leicester
Cheers GP. Vardy then.
Hi Gang! I have one ft and 0.2 itb. Am I good to go? I have the armband on Wilson at the moment, what are people’s thoughts on this?
You have 9 of my WC players. SO, I think you are fine. :drinks:
Cheers Constantine. Who have you captained?
Sterling for me ATM.I just think that if Norwich could hold City for Nil then they might have something in books for an attacking side like B’Mouth
The state Spurs are in there is a case to sub Aurier!
Honestly it’s fine. I’d save the transfer.
Cheers GP. I did think about taking him out but will probably hold til next week and assess then. I hope the Wilson captain choice pays off. Knowing my luck, Joshua King will smash it instead lol
