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…

Don’t really know what to do here. I’m happy to roll the transfer but I have 2 already! I suppose I could do Hayden for Mathew Longstaff or Saka for the sake of it, but are these guys rotation risks and I’ll end up wanting Hayden back come 2 weeks? Improve elsewhere?
I have 0.1 itb.
Thank you
Saka will be the one to miss out if / when Laca is back. Not sure on Longstaff.
Nakamba at 4.4 mil seems nailed. Frees up a valuable 0.1 mil for that extra transfer
Great site team! I am on a WC and still put it together :rofl:
I am on this ATM but there a few talking points that need settling.
1) I don’t like Traore in there as a 4th mid but couldn’t find a better option in that price bracket (if the rest of team remains untouched)
2) Still undecided on front line, as twitchy feeling tells me to find place for Wilson there. Keep going back and forth and can’t decide whether I should go without one of my strikers and go for Callum or not.
3) I am not that stupid, I am very worried for the lack of Liverpool assets upfront..but just think the next 3 MC fixtures are very tempting..then they face each other and I guess I can jump back on Mane/Salah. I am typing this and seeking for your reassurance :dash:
4) Pope could go to Gazzaniga for funds. Tomori could make way, so I have another Chelsea spot for CHO. Just couldn’t find good replacement for Tomori. Value for money seems like one of the better options out there.
HELP, DEADLINE IS COMING FOR ME! :help:
What does Auba to Wilson leave for a Traore upgrade?
8.9
Vardy to Wilson
Traore to Yarmolenko?
I’ve got 2 FTs but 0 in the bank! Any suggestions here?
Unless you can replace Guendouzi I can’t see much else.
Thanks init! Do you think it’s worth switching Ryan to a 4m keeper giving me an extra .5 to upgrade elsewhere another time? Namely giving Pukki one more week until maybe bringing in Jiminez before some good fixtures?
Possibly. Depends how much you’d actually planned to use him?
I’ve only used him once all season! I think I prefer Pope to be honest!
I think it’s wise to downgrade 1 of your GKs than losing the FT
Your team is quite strong and 0.5 mil goes a long way.
Solid team Igy….don’t think there’s anyone better than the players you’ve got for their prices. Similar to my own but this week I did Pukki and Hanley to Ayew and Pereira, though may have jumped the gun with Pukki!
IF he fails again this week you could drop to a bench warmer and upgrade a mid or defender next week…maybe Ayew & CHO or something, but this week I’d just put your feet up, relax, enjoy and be happy that in a position where FT’s are going unused!
Morning people!
Who would you all captain out of this lot? It’s been between Sterling and Tammy for me last 2 weeks but the few Newcastle 5 at the back shutouts and Palaces/Sterlings form have made it a tricky choice!
Ended up going with Wilson who ….on paper …ticks all the boxes! Sterling, Tammy, Mane & KDB all still in contention though …who would you all pick?
Cheers and good luck everyone!
You’ve picked Wilson so go with that call.
I’m so tempted to do a -4 and bring in Wilson for Pukki!!
I did it!
What should I do?
Ceballos to traore?
Like it!
This will be the week when Pukki goes big!!
Hi all. Been reading that Son and Aurier may not start. Is it worth going Aurier to Tomori and Son to KDB for a -4?
Yeah I would. Ditch those Spurs, especially any defensive assets.
Yup
Yeah I like that move and it should pay back the -4 pretty quickly I reckon
Thanks guys!
Done! Although I’m now tempted to captain KDB. Thoughts gang …
.
Good team.
Cheers GP
