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.

Sorry, copying over from last article.
Mornin all. Planning on holding my FT this week, resisting the Kane > Kun move. Hoping it doesn’t continue to bite me in the arse. Good to go or suggest something else?
1FT, 1.1 itb
DDG, Elliot
Cedric, Davies, Mee (Hegazi, Hunemeir)
Silva, Mikhi, Ramsey, Grob (Carroll)
Kane, Luk, Firmino
Hi Colriles, nothing obvious to do there really so yeah just carry it over. At least your defence won’t be conceding many with two goalies
Cheers Innit – my secret weapon 😉
Greetings all,
I’ve just emerged from 8 days with no power (including an evacuation), hit my wildcard immediately when the lights came back on and landed on this.. I’m considering doing Jones and Davies for Valencia and Mee/Lascelles…. or not… thoughts?
Alright HighAction – hope you’re well – you in Miami or the Keys? Team looks decent and I’d take Jones and Davies mate.
Thanks Cookie, i’m in Southwest Florida actually, had some Key West friends staying with me and we all went to Jacksonville and got flooded out up there.. Nasty storm.. very much looking forward to a weekend of football and air-conditioning…
Jones and Davies for sure. You may as well lose Lascelles as you have Elliot already.
Cheers innit..
Sell Mikki or Silva to enable to get Kun ? Do have Lukaku.
‘To enable’ and ‘To get’ Doh !
Never heard of him.
Good at table tennis I think
Answer me question.
Need more details than that really Elle, like who’s coming and going as well. Without that I’d say keep Silva.
Can’t sell Silva before Palace
Gents
Team for GW6, good to go?
Looks good Mitro. I don’t expect Trippier to start but you might as well leave him in your XI
It’s not looking good for him! Suspect I will have to deal with tripper next week!
I’d switch keepers just on the probability of a clean sheet being higher for Elliot. That’s unless you think it’s zero for both and you’re playing it based upon chances of save points in which case it’s alright as it is.
Missed that one. I’d defo swap the keepers
Playing foster as I’m assuming he will be the busier of the two…. I hope!
I’m playing Elliot but team looks good
Smash – would you play Elliot over DDG in my case?
I’m not sure I’d ever play Eliot over DDG!
Except for Week 4!
I’ll stick with DDG.
Hindsight is wonderful
Nah always play De Gea I agree with Kop
Atsu or Ritchie?
Ritchie
Ritchie
Ritchie.
Ritchie. Pens, set-pieces etc.
Thanks all! Ritchie it is.
My toilet team. Don’t have much time to manage it and won’t be around for the games this weekend.
I was thinking Kiko to Simpson and Lascalles to Mbemba. Hoping Lascalles goes up tonight so I can sell him with a gain.
Unsure if I’ll keep Silva or get Salah instead.
This is a WC Raz yeah?
Yes, and I have no time to look at it. So all advise is welcome. Hehe.
Keep Silva for one more week? For the CP game? Or get Salah in for him directly?
I’d keep Silva
Carroll to King? King will keep his place? Why did he miss the first games?
I don’t think King keeps his place
Looks good. I would prefer to see Salah in there
