FF247 FPL Team GW14
Welcome to FF247 FPL Team GW14
Lattes all round
Look up the word mediocre in a picture dictionary and you’ll find one of our team from GW13… at least there was none of the mayhem of recent game-weeks and we actually captained whom we said we would captain.
You know things haven’t gone well when your defence is the star of the show! Up top, our forwards combined for a grand total of 9pts. Our midfield trio weighed in with a staggering 13pts, which included our captain KdB and new signing Jack Grealish. At the back, Coufal picked up a clean sheet and two baps, Targett a clean sheet, Chilwell an assist and a bap. Dann (who came off the bench for Mahrez) and McCarthy should just go play in midfield or up top.
All this saw us score a whopping 46pts, four above the average which allowed us to register back to back clean sheets for the first time since GW5, and we now sit in 1,627,496th place.
That’s enough about GW13. It’s time to get serious, we have two free transfers burning a hole in someone’s pocket and we now have BGW18 and DGW19 to build towards. With that in mind, it’s over to the committee…
Our GW13 Result…
Let’s go see what was decided this week with our 2 free transfers and £0.4m spare.
Our GW14 Transfer(s)
It all started off in quite a sedate manner…
Kop opened the meeting by asking if anyone had any thoughts on transfers. Init responded with an extremely sensible suggestion of replacing with Kilman with a Leicester defender with DGW19 in mind. The next thing you know, Cookie barrels into the office and suggests selling Vardy & Mahrez for Salah & Bamford. I think he’d been on the mulled wine! Cookie’s Colombian partner in crime then weighs in with support and starts waffling on about tea & latte. Unsurprisingly, Floydeth is also in favour of these moves. Cookie only needed one more vote to make this happen… surely it couldn’t?
The next thing you know, Init, GP & Kop are on board. It’s really happening. Cookie & Mito have finally gotten one over the line. As GP said, “This season is batshit nuts”.
Just a word on the blank and double GW’s in 18 & 19, given as we touched on them above. Having ran through a number of scenarios the consensus at the moment seems to be that we will play our Free Hit Chip in 18 and possibly our Bench Boost Chip in 19. This means building a squad between now and then to do so. Which rather flies in the face of our eventual transfer decision this week! But we can’t just put everything into 19 as we also need to score points in 14. And 15. And 16. And…. you get the point.
To confirm then we have SOLD Riyadh Mahrez & Jamie Vardy and BOUGHT Mo Salah & Patrick Bamford
Captain – Harry Kane
Unlike last week, our captain decision was not a unanimous decision. Kane took the vote by 3 to 2 over Salah. It goes without saying that our vice-captain will be Salah.

Kane to Vardy?
Kdb to Salah?
Both?
Neither?
Vardy to Kane *
Vardy to Kane
KdB to Salah looks good too, but I doubt KdB will blank in this game so might not be worth much
And Salah might not play mate
My transfer for this week was Fernandez to Salah 😯 :suicide:
Thinking of using wc. I have to use it at some point! Original team posted and possible options. Any advice/thoughts much appreciated. Thanks
I’ll be in a better space to answer wildcard type questions when I activate my own – which won’t be just yet. I’m not in any mad hurry to do it before I have to.
I’d think about what you plan to do in 18 and 19. E.g. when I play mine I plan to cram by bench with GW18 players, if this is possible, so they can have a spin in 18. City and Spurs play in 18. And so on.
That’s also my thinking. Other option is this
It has a slight flavour, graphic wise (and indeed name wise), of a representation of the crew of the Starship Enterprise.
Sorry I can’t be of much help but when my head is in wildcard mode – which it will be after Boxing Day – I’ll be slightly more helpful (I hope).
hi kickers – think you need to plan ur gw18/19 strategy first and then once thats clear, decide whats what
GW18/19
If the last graphic reminded me of Captain Kirk, this one reminds me of one of those work spreadheets one stumbles across now and then that has become hopelessly corrupted and needs fixing.
However, very useful information: thanks.
Should have given credit. Its from Ben Crellin
Dreamers, he said that long time ago.
So 18
3 City ( Ederson (because he is guaranteed, a defender who hasnt been rested of Dias/Cancelo or Walker and KDB – most will own 2 at most I would think
Spurs – at least 1
Everton – DCL. Maybe Richarlison – lets say 1
Arsenal – none
Wolves – maybe 1 tops
Villa – 2 tops (prob 1 for me)
Brighton – unless filler – I have actually currently 2
Palace – 1 tops – not a defender even if Arsenal. Ese or Zaha ?
SHU – none
Newcastle – Wilson
I wish we had thought of doing something similar.
is that
1) we are about to or
2) We did. Read the bloody articles you tit?
Definitely 2 :punish:
Fair enough
I still havent looked :hippo:
I’ll let Mito deal with you :butcher: :wink2:
