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

I’m going to be optimistic here for a change. If the season does restart who are the key players to have?
I’m going for a premium midfield of Salah, Mane, KDB and Fernandes. That leaves enough for a reasonable def and attack. I have 0.6ITB for Button to McCarthy.
I have the same midfield. Think I’m done with the weekly tinkering. Now just wait and see…
Some Man Utd cover would seem necessary with the fixtures despite the previous inconsistency.
I think it’s probably worth not burning your bridges with a potential FA cup short week. I’m not sure the cup continues, but will keep 3 pool, 3 Wolves and Pope just in case.
Yeah that’s the midfield I have. Though I have two free transfers now. Was thinking even if cup is played there will be a mid week game so no blank anyway.
I would be tempted to downgrade PEA and upgrade Greenwood.
Rashford and DCL could be nice, with may be Jimenez for now until Rashford is definitely back.
Do you think this break will be enough for tammy to get fit. As a proud owner of Giroud i’m worried that gw’s back on the bench once pl is back on again…
Pretty boy G to DCL? 2ft’s and nada itb….
Players like Tammy, Rashford and even Kane could be interesting differentials. I would be tempted to move Giroud on and try and get guaranteed starters as we could have lots of rotation if the games are crammed in.
Yeah expecting Tammy, Rashford and Kane to all be back
Ever play will be out of form which will make things interesting. I might take a punt on abu to kane. Rashford and bruno might link up well too.
Good point Gavy. Form is going to be a complete lottery in terms of individual players and teams.
Some differentials, anyone tempted? LG=last game
1. Pogba 8.3m, TSB 2.8%, PPM 2.4, LG GW19
2. Rashford 8.8m TSB 9.5%, PPM 6.1, LG GW22
3. Kane 10.8m, TSB 8.5%, PPM 5.2, LG GW21
4. Son 9.7m, TSB 4.3%, PPM 5.8, LG GW26
Son and Rashford are on my radar if fit.
I admire your sticking at things, Stone Frog. If we ever get going again I’ll start my usual chewing and fretting over players – and probably make some minor correction.
Maybe Sane could be added to your list and maybe players out on loan will return, too. Though resigned to things being called off I hope we do get going at some point. Would be nice to play those chips.
Thanks for your comment Kralin. Although beware an ‘ane and chips are not a nice combo.
No, I won’t fall into that trap (in the reality where the season resumes and everything seems like it’s normal when of course it’s nothing of the sort).
Yeah all of them really. I like the look of City’s run in as well for differentials
Hi
I hope you are well and staying safe?
It’s been a surreal few weeks!!
Hi mate, hope you are well too? Good to hear from you. Thanks for checking in.
