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

Damn, Sancho coming on.
So, when the bonus points get added? What should we expect from Haaland, with a star, who is currently on 14?
Ooops, disregard this. He went up to 23 :yes:
This is not like fpl, you pick the right captain or player and you can make up a ton of points in a hurry. I had Werner captain earlier this season for a 54 I think. He scored 36 points x1.5. Think they beat Mainz 7 or 8 nil.
Well that’s it for me for today on points.
One game left for today, Frankfurt and Borussia M’Gladbach, so if you have any players on the bench from them two get them in if possible, also, if you are not satisfied with your captain and have someone going from this game, just captain them because you never know.
Thanks for the guidance this afternoon Legend :good:
Just brought on Almamy Toure for tonight’s game.
Just happy to see some fantasy going on and really happy to see footy again, I mean I love watching old youtube videos of Karius passing the ball to Benzema and tring to catch a Bale shot, but I also like watching some live stuff. :smoke:
Zimmermann with 14, doesn’t feel quite believable from a defender but I guess that’s probably only slightly above average
Depends who you still have. 14-16 is that point where you consider keeping it. Unless you have a Hakimi (already played) or a Kimmich type still left to play. Some other defenders out there also have real nice floors and are worth the risk. But if all you have is cheap defenders, I probably keep that 14.
38 points from 6 players is OK for a newbie, even if I am second last on the mini league table. My plan: Davies coming in for Sancho and midfield star goes from Baumgartner to Gnabry (that will be -6 points). Neuer and Jacobs will be replacing Schubert and Kenny. Most likely the forward star will remain on Haaland.
Go ahead and move Neuer in, even if he gets hurt doing toast today a zero from him is still better than that negative score.
Mito, done :good:
By the way, make Kainz captain if he is in the team sheet if he does just ok then switch to Gnabry. Koln plays the early game tomorrow. Watch to see if Katterbach or Jakobs is in the Xi, if only one is, I make them captain, if both are I make Jakobs captain as he tends to be oop.
Yep, will do that. Never thought of it tbh, thanks for the tip :yes:
Frankfurter v Borussia Mönchengladtobeback
Frankfurt anyway, Gladbach seem to have forgotten there is a game on…
Gladtobeback :declare:
haha see what you did there.
Ah, there we go…
They took a while to tweet their team out. They are not as exact as the PL handles are on what time they tweet. They aren’t as bad as mls, but their team sheets can be a little delayed sometimes.
Thanks for doing team sheets, certainly made it easier this morning having them all in one place instead of searching around on twitter for each team.
It helps you? Screw that then, that’s the last ones I put on here :suicide: :rofl:
There’s now a Bundesliga List under the site twitter handle. Although it looks like the one I was ‘piccing’ from is the go to guy / gal anyway.
I have a fantasy Bundesliga list, I probably should have mentioned that. :mosking:
Although, it might be a private list.
