FF247 Fantasy Football Team Gameweek 3
Welcome to FF247 Fantasy Football Team Gameweek 3. Our good start didn’t last long. Just one game-week if you want specifics. After finishing GW1 with an impressive total of 86pts, GW2 brought us crashing back down to reality as we finished with just 35pts and a game-week rank of 3,402,911. If it hadn’t been for our United duo of de Gea & Lukaku we’d be stood in the corner wiping away the tears. With 18pts between them they accounted for just over 50% of our point’s total. The rest of our team were such a disappointment that they don’t even deserve a mention. So onto GW3 and our two free transfers…they’ll be needed!
The team in full
We have sold KdB & Kompany and bought Pogba & Alonso
Best laid plans and all that! The City boys get dumped unceremonously after just two GWs. Kompany may feel slightly hard done by but KdB has not yet brought his preseason form into the league and the lure of a United midfielder, both form wise and price wise, was too much for the committee to turn their back on. So Ginge has gone for the Ginge-wannabe, but we’ll be dabbing with the best of them. Now we very nearly decided to leave it there and carry over a free transfer for after the international break – that of course would be the normal, conservative move we would normally decide on – however, one bright spark suggested getting the most undefensive defender outside of Liverpool and after his Wembley brace, Alonso was voted in. Just. The two sensible committee members voted to hold, the two mavericks voted to get Alonso and spend, spend, spend and their bullying persuaded the final member to side with them.
At least the talk of treating Alonso as a midfielder does (subconsciously at least) make our midfield slightly less sh*t than it did before!
Our Captain is Harry Kane
No goals, two yellow cards, the August curse, but stats don’t lie. Or so we’re told. And Kane’s stats are pretty good – more shots in the box than anyone else in the league, hitting the woodwork three times already, it is felt that goals are imminent. And hopefully they are GW3 imminent. If Kane gets lost finding Wembley or fails to play for some reason, than the inform and popular Romelu Lukaku will wear the armband.

Site team is live – two transfers, a new capo, what could possibly go wrong ?!
Any particular reason with going with GroB over Carroll? I have both players and considering to go with Carroll as he played 90mins last game, on set piece and played 2 key pass.
Not really COYS, bit of a coin toss to be honest mate
Thanks Cookie
Morning Cooks. Do you know what time Southampton’s presser is? Hoping for an indication whether or not Stephens will retain his place.
Morning Milburn, presser was yesterday and the manager said they are still to decide if Hoedt will be part of the squad, so Stephens looks safe for now.
Cheers mate.
Brave moves! How much does that then leave you in the bank?
0.9 left itb Ollie. You can follow it here –

Morning guys,
I have 2fts and nothing in the bank. Any transfer ideas?
You literally have the site team so following their transfers wouldn’t be a bad idea this week. Did KDB to Pogba myself, and then maybe hold on the Alonso move so you have two transfers for the int break.
I don’t like Ince or Gros but there’s no good budget midfielders to recommend – Mooy is a slightly sideways move and I can’t see Huddersfield maintaining their current form.
So just follow yours instead is what you actually mean 😉
I do agree, that 2nd move is unnecessary overkill.
I very slightly disagree with Init over the Alonso move – I can see why Alonso may not be deemed necessary right now, but my view is you are getting the highest scoring defender in now at 7mln – fixtures are meaningless for him I think, you’re buying as much for his attacking as for his defending – after all, not many would have bought him before playing Spurs.
I do agree Cookie, just unsure about it this particular week given Kompany’s fixture.
Yeah I know – that was what put me in 2 minds. Still not 100% on it to be honest. I think you know that anyway, hence the delay in making the transfer – I still haven’t voted 😉
I brought Blind in for Kolasinac so I couldn’t recommend he do that as well 😉
I believe Alonso is almost a must have and have had him since GW1 but I also think it can wait till GW5/6 when the fixtures ease up before bringing him in now, especially if the player being replaced has reasonable fixtures.
2 FT for an international break is always ideal.
Good morning Cookie,
Richarlison, Phillips, Brunt, Mooy? Help me picking one of them. Thanks Cookie
Mooy- has better fixtures long term
But Richard is the better player, playing for a better team.
Wazza, I’ll side with DMC here – I would opt for Rich – better player in a more experienced PL team with a manager who should set up to play to his strengths.
I’ll alos agree with DMC and Cookie
I realise it’s a small sample size but Richarlison’s stats are impressive.
Thanks DMC, Cookie and Kop Warrior!
Westbrom fixtures are better than Watford’s fixtures. However, Richarlison is impressing more than Phillips/Brunt.
=> It made me difficult to pick :-s
Wazza,
I could pretty much guarantee that Watford will score more than West Brom over that run of matches.
