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

Eaten a packet of uncooked spaghetti through their noses?
Sure Maradona tried that in the USA 94 world cup.

Tattood names of people they have slept with on their privates?

As we currently don’t know what will happen with fpl and we’re still making transfers, I don’t want to waste any over the next few weeks. Who would you ship out and bring in?
Did Auba to Vardy myself. Frees up some funds but in all honesty there’s not a lot of other major changes you need. You could probably ensure, gradually that your defence all rotates nicely for the remaining games.
Would the following work.
Auba to DCL, Richarlison to Mane and Jimenez to Vardy?
I haven’t really been able to engage much with picking my side. When I last was engaged it was all about the looming BGW and possible deployment of chips. We are now in the midst of plague and rats. I keep expecting to see monks and nuns scurry by in the quiet streets outside.
I looked at my side the other day in the way you’d look at something handed to you at random by a stranger in the street. It seemed baffling.
I know how you feel Kralin. I have as much interest in picking up Covid-19 as I do in looking at my team!
I realise now you were talking about the Irish government the other night, when I was comically spluttering on about the ineptness of the UK’s.
I spotted that Init had sorted out our crossed wires the following morning!
I’ve notched it up in another chapter of my No Bell Piece prize nomination.
Just watched the “Fearless Foxes” story on Youtube. So much fun. It also made me sad, miss football…miss you guys.
Whatever happens I hope they give LIV the trophy…or they win it behind closed doors if all else fails.
Stay well…stay safe everyone! :yes:
I’m sure Liverpool will be given it, one way or the other.
I hope you are keeping well, Bees.
