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

Kunde Malong looks like Bundesliga version of Adama Traore physically.
GM, any news on MLS restarting the season any time soon?
I am totally disconnected at that end
Postponed all matches till 8th June (announced during Mid-April). Earlier it was till 17th May. Considering the situation in US, I do not see they will return very soon. But then money talks and we never know.
I guess, MLSPA will publish another statement by next week.
Ah, OK. Nothing can surprise me over there. Trump is pushing for full restart on everything, watch this space.
A lot of hopeful dribbling is my initial assessment of the Bundesliga, quite entertaining to watch I admit
Dan, how is the situation down under? Are you getting back to normal or is it too soon?
Too soon but getting there. Restrictions easing as of last week but ‘normal’ is not coming back anytime soon, for anybody really. The Bundesliga starting feels totally unreal in light of everything, pa tichonichku
Yep, it will take a while to get to the new normal, whatever that is. Hopefully thing will get better for the new season, finishing this one, still not sure how and when can happen. This coming week is the deadline for the FA to produce a plan.
I like the scoring in Bundesliga – at least every player gets something based on action – though I have not really seen what earns the point. That BPS system in FPL is not great as it awards only 3 points max, that too to only 1 player.
Anyone having below error in FPL – Points/transfer tabs?
Error
Sorry, but there has been an unexpected error processing your request.
You can return to the home page and try again or contact us for further help.
Yes, but GW38 has passed so they’ve probably taken it offline pending whatever they need to do next.
Berlin v Munich
Thanks!
Here’s your Malone GM, driving through the middle of defence.
He was like a bulldozer, went straight through the Köln half-line and none really tried – taking away my CS points.
All of our points GM, no need to get melodramatic
But you’re right, Schlumil defending and a clever finish.
Now then. Do I stay with Kainz 18 points or gamble 5 points and move the star to Gnabry :wacko:
Having a gander through these games I’d say go for Gnabry, the defences look pretty schlemosel. Then again, I know next to nothing about this thing.
Yes Dan. I am going big on Bayern. Moving the stars from Kainz and Haaland to Gnabry and Lewa, that is -13 points. Let’s hope for a CS from Neuer :yes:
haha big stuff, I ain’t touching Haaland personally, I’ve already messed up earlier so keeping the tinkering as low as I can..
Just done it, can’t go back
Live or die by the sword of maccas WC rules. I prefer the fatalism of FPL, set your team and watch it burn, helpless, with only your mates from a thousand lightyears away to share your shoulder in that inevitable pain :drinks:
