FF247 Fantasy Football Team Gameweek 6
Welcome to FF247 Fantasy Football Team Gameweek 6. We got 3 clean sheets this week. That is, unfortunately, just about the top and bottom of our highlights this week. Yeah ok, Lukaku brought us some points but it’s difficult to celebrate that when he brought almost everybody else the same points too. Likewise with Groß and his assist. We made 2 transfers last week and neither were a success with both Alli and Choupo-Moting coming in and both doing screw all for us. Alli got us a clean sheet bonus point and that was the highlight of our transfers, which says it all really. We scored 53 points. We began in a semi respectable 173k. We ended up in a semi disgraceful 463k! Onwards and upwards and all that then, here’s what we have decided to do this week in an attempt to arrest the slump…
Here’s our team as it looked after last week…
Transfer for GW6 – we have sold Lukaku and bought Aguero
The curse of Kun has struck again. His hatty at Watford last weekend spooked what seems like the majority of FPL managers to suddenly decide the Argentinan is after all quite good and certainly good enough for their FPL teams. Poor old Romelu, what more does he have to do? He has scored in each game bar one for a United team which has matched City’s goal returns. To talk you through our complete rationale would mean us taking you into a dark, murky world of deceit, deception and derision. Instead, please accept the short version…
– Well, first of all the proposal was to keep Lukaku and sell Alonso and Firmino for a bum and Kun – the idea was proposed as such: “Buried Alonso at the back of the garden and low and behold Aguero sprouted up!” This suggestion came from Anti-Alonso in the middle of the night when he knew his audience…. or so he thought.
– Unfortunately for him the suspect charged with originally suggesting we acquired Alonso was awake and chatty and immediately argued against said move. Alonso Lover was then dumped into a wardrobe while appearing to shout, “Willian to Ramsey”.
– Anti-Alonso got back to work looking for someone to agree to disposing of Alonso.
– Instead, Dopey arrived from his self-induced coma with his ever informed awareness with the line, “have we got 2 free transfers?”. Quickly rebuffed Dopey returned to… well being dopey and wouldn’t be seen, or heard from again, until the morning.
– There was a muffled cry from the wardrobe… “William to Ramsey?”. Which ended with a thud.
– Having failed to win favour, Anti-Alonso sulked off to sort his MLS side.
– Roughly 2 minutes later and confident that Dopey was asleep and Alonso Lover had been silenced, Anti-Alonso tried again, hoping someone, anyone, had awoken and would be bored into submission with the excuse that “we should do this Kun thing, otherwise the article is boring”. Not wrong there. But still no takers.
– The night continued peacefully, no-one else surfaced but Anti Alonso still grumbled, with something not vaguely printable and implanted more pins in the Alonso doll hanging from the wall.
– The committee slowly reconvened in the morning but quickly descended into insults such as ‘fraud’, ‘sheep’, ‘d*ckhead’, ‘Kun*’ etc. Alonso Lover was released from the wardrobe looking slightly dishevelled. And a little abused. He didn’t mention Ramsey again. The ‘discussion’ continued fairly sensibly without really progressing before wardrobe boy suggested playing the Free Hit chip, loading up on City and Arsenal assets. Dopey, presumably in sympathy, voted with him. Anti-Alonso and Mr Sensible (now awake and new to the story!) quickly voted against before the Mule (likewise) turned up and laughed at the suggestion while forcing wardrobe boy back into his hole where he remains to this day.
It was finally decided by all present that we all wanted Kun but it was a toss up as to whether to sell Kane or Lukaku, or simply decimate the team by losing Alonso and Firmino. It was decided not to decimate, we’d only regret that in the morning and all agreed that Lukaku must go. Strange old world, if only someone had suggested that at the start.
It may still be an odd decision and we may reverse it next week or indeed play a Wildcard to negate the lot. Who knows. The only wonder really is how we’ve got this far and to have still previously posted some decent ranks, especially with the circus as illustrated above…
The team in full
And so this is how we line up ahead of GW6…
Our captain is Aguero
Now after the painful and somewhat exhausting committe meeting to decide to buy Kun, one would assume that skippering the Argentinian would be a formality. No sir. Our friend Dopey reappeared with the suggestion we should captain the misfiring Harry Kane, who plays at West Ham where Spurs never win. To the wardrobe he was sent. Fortunately the rest of the committee voted for the in form Aguero, who plays at home to Woy’s Palace a week after slamming a hatty at Watford.

cheers Rosco & Banjo 😉
Okay guys, finally caved in and wildcarded, primarily to get in Kane for Lukaku (I played it before last week’s matches to save 0.1 rising on Kane and another 0.1 dropping on Lukaku, neither of which happened with any urgency as projected), and Kolasinac.
This is the WC team I came up with before last week’s matches.
Fabianski/Elliott
Cedric/Davies/Femenia/Mbemba/Kolasinac
Silva/Alli/Gross/Ritchie/Carroll
Kane/Jesus/Vardy
Now I’m wondering whether
a)Kane is essential
b)Double Spurs is warranted
c)If/When to bring in Hazard
I want Otamendi as well, and I can only have two of Otamendi/Hazard/Alli if I keep Kane. On the other hand, if I ditch Kane for Morata I can have Chelsea cover while taking Mkhitaryan to cover Utd and keeping Alli to cover Spurs. But I’d be going without Kane, Hazard, Lukaku and to some extent Aguero (some because I’d still have Jesus), all of whom can murder me even with a short burst of form, and I wouldn’t be able to bring them in without a bevy of hits, which would kind of defeat the purpose anyway.
Or I can skip Otamendi and keep Kane, and restrict my dilemma to which one of Alli and Silva to drop for Hazard – Silva of course needing an additional Ritchie to Atsu to facilitate the swap. However, the guy in Otamendi’s place right now is Femenia, who’s nowhere close.
Or I could do Alli and Cedric to Stones and Hazard, and be done with it, in which case Femenia replaces Cedric, which still sounds weaker than the other options.
It’s doing my head in. Please help.
My current team, and the one with Cedric to Otamendi
If Alli is the one to lose for Hazard, I’m willing to wait two more weeks till Chelsea have played City to make the switch. However, as I’ve mentioned, I have to use Kiko for either Cedric or Otamendi right from now, because I don’t want to take unnecessary hits later.
I prefer the option that loses Ali to get Hazard. Especially if you already have Kane.
Do you mean the one with Cedric and Atsu, or the one with Femenia and Ritchie? And should I wait for two weeks or swap Alli to Hazard right now?
I think you gave us all a few too many options there, Nike 😉
Right, he’s a simple, but difficult poll for you all… Who will score better out of Kolasinac and Ritchie? On a WC and can’t decide between 3-4-3 and 4-3-3. Thanks.
Kolasinac in the next three games could be deadly. I mean the guy found himself in the penalty box while playing as a CB :p Kola for me.
Banjo, I’d probably go for Kolasinac.
I agree
Thanks Guys. I think I am leaning towards 4-3-3, with this being the latest WC draft:
Fabianski (Elliott)
Kolasinac, Davies, Jones, Otamendi (Mbemba)
Mkhi, Salah, Gross (RLC, King)
Kun, Kane, Morata
Good to go?!
Defenders are scoring just as well as midfielders this year, for much cheaper
Not bad Banjo. The RLC king thing is a bit of a concern. Bar that you know I like your sqaud! I got a q for you. Eriksen and Lukaku or Mkhi and Kane?
I think RLC is the best option at 4.5, and I only have 4.4 left, so King it is! That duo choice is really too close to call. If I was forced I’d probably go Mkhi & Kane, but we’re splitting hairs really.
Hi guys,
Is my starting 11 good to go?
I’m on a wildcard btw
Thanks
Yep. Really good team that. Just shows how the Kane funds can be spread elsewhere.
Firstly, I can’t believe there are 1,233 other Beno’s. Crazy eh?
Re. Your team, not much to change there. I think I’d rather have Ali (or ideally Erik) instead of double United / Miki.
Nice team though.
Haha cheers Chins. unbelievable isn’t it…
can’t quite afford Mhiki to Alli / Eriksen so I guess ill have to leave it
Looks good but not too sure about Wood.
Lol. I have the same points as the Fantasy Football 247 FPL team.
Fabianski, Alonso and Jesus
or
Jones, Aguero, Courtious/Ederson/LLoris (dont have any of there teams defense – could be any keeper non United)
Jones, Aguero and Courtios for me
I think I’d agree with this.
