FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GWX
Oh b*llocks, is it?!
Welcome to FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GWX. No, this isn’t an April Fools Day joke, we are actually publishing a Site Team article! Why? Well, because we meant to do one two weeks ago, and then again last week also, but we didn’t, for reasons which we shall expand on later. Perhaps also it is because we are a bit bored, and simply not used to having a break. But also it is to remind you of a few key FPL related things, which may have slipped your mind, understandably.
We shall however begin with an update of our GW29 performance, at least for some semblence of normality, if nothing else. Looking back at it, into what seems like a lifetime ago now, we evidently got a bit shafted with the DGW postponment having brought in Saka and Aubameyang (as captain) specifically for it, and having held onto KDB too. We’ll spare you the horror story of the rest but other than Salah getting a goal we didn’t have a single other player score above 3 points. And we had some good players, with decent fixtures. When your luck is out and all that… It looks like it meant quite a fall in the rankings too, in fact we managed to double our rank from about 82k to 164,492nd.
Onto the two article titles then..

No, this wasn’t a typo. It’s more because we have no idea when the season will restart, of course, but also less of an idea how. The fact that FPL Towers decided that we could keep making transfers throughout this ‘hiatus’ seemed to be because they presumed it would restart at a later GW. Which now looks less than likely. What is perhaps now more probable is that (if anything) there will be some sort of crammed in mini-tournament style period of about 6 weeks where they will attempt to finish the season. Re-starting at the GW30 cut-off seems the most likely scenario. How FPL deals with that is another matter, given their above stance. Will they simply reset us and ask us to forget all the interim transfers? Anything is possible. But for now we have been asked to crack on regardless, and so we have…
‘Oh, bollocks’, etc
This is a reference to our lack of a recent article. The reality is that we did intend to do one prior to GW31 and we did indeed have a meeting to discuss our phantomtransfers. Only for someone to point out in the midst of said meeting that the deadline had already passed as it was a Friday night one, and not as we all assumed a normal Saturday one! So that was one transfer down the drain. Not that we feel this will matter particularly, as it looks like we will have more than we can possibly use before proceedings get back under way.
And so we sat down in the middle of last week for another meeting… only to discover half way through that one that it was indeed an International Break, as such, and that there was no planned deadline for another week! Pay more attention, we must. Reinstante the Countdown Timer, we have…
Our GW32 Transfer(s)
Crack on regardles, we do. And we have formulated something of a mini-plan. So we thought we would share this with you, for a lack of anything else to actually say at this moment in time!
Bruno Fernandes seems to be our main missing jigsaw piece right now and so we have decided to prioritise him, along with a whole other raft of minor surgeries which we hope shall put our squad in better shape, should this be required as and when To accommodate Bruno this week we have decided to do away with our double Liverpool defence, an idea that was beginning to be in vogue around about GW29…
Beyond this we are looking at something like Saka to Mount and possibly Ings to DCL, but we shall see.
To confirm then we have SOLD Andy Robertson & James Maddison and BOUGHT Aaron Wan-Bissaka & Bruno Fernandes
Captain – Boris Johnson

Good morning,
Here’s 5 to tackle this Sunday.
Who were the first team to win all four English league divisions?
Six teams have won the PL, one player has played for four of these clubs but not won it himself. Who is it?
Name the three teams Neil Warnock has led to promotion to the Premier League.
Who was Jurgen Klopp’s first signing as Liverpool manager?
Which is the only island team to play in the Premier League?
I remember Wolves famously going from top division to fourth level and back up again but I doubt if they were first
I’m going to propose Huddersfield as a complete guess!
For the last one Cayman islands have a ‘premier league’
Anyway, all of the premier league teams are on an island !
3) Cardiff & QPR, can’t remember the third one…
Sheffield United almost certainly.
2) Paul Dickov.
I can think of an island team who have been in the top division and FA cup final but they haven’t been in premier league
Is Portsmouth not an island?
Oh yes, Fratton park is on Portsea. I could only think of the championship team
Who was Jurgen Klopp’s first signing as Liverpool manager?
Was it Andy Robertson?
I was thinking Milner.
Milner was there before Klopp
Maybe Karius then?
Grujic, dunno if its spelt right.
The G was correct. The rest of it is spelt; o-o-g-l-e. :big_boss:
Well done everyone, collectively, I think you’ve got them.
Wolverhampton Wanderers
Paul Dickov (Arsenal, Manchester City, Blackburn Rovers, Leicester City)
Sheffield United, QPR, Cardiff City
Marko Grujic
Portsmouth
:yahoo:
Thanks GP, enjoyed those. Never heard of the Liverpool bloke, mind!
Hope you’re well pal.
Hey guys. Getting bored. Give me some FIFA 19 tips..
Don’t play it with your kids, they will embarrass you.
I’m in the process of getting my Amiga out so we can play Sensi. That’ll teach ‘em.
Love this
Atari coming out here, bored of getting beaten.
Bet you were a Frogger guy.
Frogger and Pac Man.
Ah Pac-Man, I had mastered that game to the point where I wouldn’t even lose a life, I had broken the code and if you took the same exact path every time you can play forever, played for several hours one time as a 7-8 year old, after that I sorta of realized I had ruined the game for myself, not sure I ever played again. Pole Position, Frogger and some game with a plane I loved.
haha..Point well noted. getting better everyday..
Island team, West Ham ? Theres water on all 4 sides of the of the ground.
Nice ansa. But cookie already said Portsmouth. How about an island team in the championship?
Make it 2 in the Prem.
What to do here? No real issue, double Wolves attack may not be ideal, but how to get funds to upgrade Jota? 0.0ITB.
Don’t, you’re fine. There are worse double ups I could think of and the rest looks good as it is.
That was cathartic, if nothing else
It’s good to see Pope flanked by the stay safe messages. That’s all you need do, SF: pray.
Thanks both.
I will be amazed if the season gets going again in June, in all seriousness. I’d love it to happen but a weird malaise seems to have set in here (UK).
I think if say the German league gets restarted and one or two others a few people here may start scratching their heads and say ‘hmm wonder how they’re managing that I really fort we was best at everythink’.
This is exactly my team only I have Soyuncu & Lascelles (I think) instead of Wan-Bis & Egan… I’m pretty happy with it, just playing the waiting game now
Coupled with the obvious yet somehow easy-to-forget playing the staying safe game
How about Jimenez to DCL….And if you don’t feel right about it of course you can go back next week… hippo hippo
Who am I question?
So, Liverpool, Man City, played abroad for Mourinho and possibly Welsh?
This is annoying me!
Most things do :rofl:
Any guesses? Or at least attempts at eliciting clues? Not that he seems forthcoming on the latter!
Newcastle, Palace, Man City and Utd was another angle I considered.
Spanning Pearce to Rashford is the stretch which throws it though.
:finger:
I can give a clue?
There was a team GB Olympic team
That had occurred to me. Am I allowed google that squad?
I’m going to throw a name out…Daniel Sturridge?
I’ve just realised he didn’t win the CL!
Actually, he did win the CL but also the PL. I’m not doing very well!!!
Correct well done
Morning all,
Hoping we’re all well and coping during the lockdown whichever stage it is in in your area/country.
Not a question (sorry) but my mate sent me this yesterday and I can’t stop thinking about it…
Stoke City lost 2-0 in their first fixture on the 8th September 1888 to West Bromwich Albion. Since then and TO THIS VERY DAY their cumulative goal difference has never been better then -2.
4591 games later.
Cracking stat.
