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..
GWX
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

My latest attempt and most likely the final :meeting:
@Ivan, good stuff! Looks a serious contender there.
Thanks Mito.
Quick question. It looks like there is no captain but star players instead who get extra points. Can they be changed to someone else who has not played yet, throughout the round?
Absolutely, so ideally you have them with staggered fixtures in case one fails then you have someone in the same position to make captain. And just know that you don’t necessarily have to drop them from the side, you can leave them in and just make someone different captain. Which I think is similar to UCL in that sense.
Jakobs is suspended according to Mitos website.
He is not suspended as far as I know.
Ooops, hes in red in the Bundesliga predictions, Mitp said earlier avoid players in red. Upamecano is suspended.
The red means that there is a difference of opinion on whether a player starts between the two sites predicting line-ups.
That’s exactly what you said earlier. Listen up Ell(p)e! :punish:
Hello all, hope you are all doing good.
Well jumped in for Bund Fantasy. Opened the site, but really struggling to build a team. Price is so high for players. Anyway, will try to fit somehow by tomorrow. Do we have a league?
Saw, an FPL update in Pl site – all chips are going to be retained whatever we have as of Gw38. Nothing is mentioned about the FTs. I guess, they will give some fixed FTs. I have 2 FT, should I use them?
Hey GM, Bundesliga league for us is under;
FF247 Bundesliga
Mito has very kindly put up a $25 prize for the winner of the first week. Although I do rather suspect this may be because he has a 3,035 point lead already or something as you’ll see when you join! It’s his previous season points :no:
Plenty of ‘tips’ article links have been posted if you scroll through the above.
Hey GM, here is what you need to get in our league.

Joined the league. How many transfers for MD 27? Is it 3 transfers/MD? Do we have a carry forward?
@GM, no carry forward, if you don’t use 3 you lose whatever you don’t use.
Bit of FanTeam action available for the Bundesliga too for those who like to make money from their hobby!

This is me for now.
Nice side, Elle. Going to be an interesting battle week 1, good captain spacing also. :yes:
Cheers Mito, katterbach is only mentioned in 1 line up but theres not a lot about at that cheap price so i’ll take a chance with him.
Yeah, he will get some minutes in the coming weeks even if he doesn’t start today, so I be ok with him considering his price.
Have no idea as to what I am doing…but here goes.
I probably switch Pervan to Schubert from Schalke, since Pervan won’t start, other than that I make sure you put players who play first in the XI and also captain players who play in the earlier fixtures first. You can change captains and replace people with people from your bench if they don’t do well, as long as they haven’t played yet.
Hi everyone, do tell if there’s anything glaringly stupid would you? I know next to nothing about the Bundesliga so this team is certainly not my gesamtkunstwerk, cheers!
Dan, Absolut fantastisch. Bereit zu gehen :yes:
VD, check out Mitos post, 131.1, it has probable line ups. I think Benes is not mentioned, i had him but got rid.
Thanks guys!! Back to it.. Goodluck
Also thanks Mito for the helpful contributions.
Yep, had Benes early in the season and his minutes are not consistent.
