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

These fixtures – for the initial 16 days – contain just two ‘non-football’ days.
Don’t worry, we’ll get each other through those days.
We’ve fasted for months and are then will be gorging ourselves constantly at the all you can eat buffet. The 2 days off, may well be a welcome relief.
Cheers GP.
Looks like I need more Sheff Utd defenders
Villa & Newc in a mini dgw?
What’s the deal with Lundy, is he nailed or not?
Got him atm, would him and 1 other be a good idea?
Also is Mendy still worth a punt? @5.5m he looks good vfm
There may well be some value in cheaper often rotated players after all everyone will be rotated now. Mendy was basically a great LAM at the start of last season, so could be an interesting punt.

Assuming that first week is a double for each I’m going for 3 each from all four teams!
The FA Cup
Further study required but Chelsea and Manchester City play each other until about 10pm on Thursday and then each face a tricky away cup match on the Sunday!
City then play Liverpool the Thursday after the FA Cup match (which means no blank for City that GW). Tough run of fixtures, and essentially rules out any DGW besides the one we already know of.
I’ll just wait and see what they come up with Teks.
My main point being that rotation surely happening there regardless of how the gameweeks fall.
Hope you’re well mate.
Here’s how mine was left.
Love the organisation on the sides! 😉
Look at the state of this.
:rofl:
“Look at the state of this”
Most folk start with, what should I do here lads? etc.
FWIW I don’t think it’s that bad.
Afternoon all! Was chatting with Smash and GP and comparing teams so thought I’d throw mine up!
I made 3 transfers early in the lockdown but stopped in the final 5 weeks. I imagine it’ll be FH for me in GW39 but let’s see what happens!!
Also while I’m here I’ve talked myself into writing a GABO article, so thought I’d ask if there are any pressing questions that anyone would like addressing by the collective!?
Gonna have to do a lot better than that rubbish if you want to break the top 20k mate :wink2:
GABO – In light of the disruption and to keep interest, if FPL were to give us one “bonus wish” (chip/additional feature etc), what would the Gabbers like to see added for the rest of the season.
Cheers Rosco
Hey Rosco.
GABO
Salah vs Mane
Or both?
Lundy or not ?
FBL keep or Boreoff?
Or none as Liverpool would have won the league
Yes – suspect Klopp will be taking full advantage of the five subsitutions. Liverpool will be able to chill out a bit.
The teams battling for European qualification may be the ones to focus on.
