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.

I’m looking at Antonio being fit by then and selling Wilson will give me just the few coins that will upgrade my defence
Please rate my team below
I have 2 FT and 0.1 in bank
Whom to bring and what about captain ??
Cross my palm with silver and I shall reveal great things to you, o khaledhesham
It gets better every time I see it.
Only issue I have is Aina, but there aren’t exactly many alternatives who would definitely keep a clean sheet this week, so I’d just say to forego that free transfer!
Good evening gents, strange dilemma last few GWs, relatively satisfied with my team at moment. 2 FT 0 itb. My last resort is to swap Steer to free up a Villa slot just in case. Otherwise any suggestions?
Yeah I suppose that’s good! :good:
Agree. Not sure I’d change anything.
Could potentially be my most boring transfer ever lol. Cheers guys
Yeah, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! Nice squad!
Thanks Swirly
:scratch_one-s_head: Hmm 2FT and 0.1itb
Out: Pulisic, Robertson
In: Bruno, Taylor
Yay or nay?
Out: Kane, Pulisic
In: Bruno, Bambam
Woop or blah?
I think I prefer option two. The presence of Pulisic is making me anxious.
Nausea and a slight migraine comes and goes, yes
We’ve all been there: operating on a hunch so slim that it verges on the edge of madness.
Dane, you would be mad to break up the magnificent duo Kane&Son, especially with the upcoming fixtures :no:
You should know me by now, so straight swap- Salah↔Bruno :yes:
Are you Pinho in disguise? :rofl:
Pinho who :unknw:
Bruno’s agent.
Thanks init, you put my mind at rest
thx Ivan, but I think Salah stays
Dane, I didn’t expect anything different. You and our dear Smash are diehard members of the Salah pilgrimage.
Best of luck mate :good:
Option 1 for me because I can see you (or anyone without Kane) arriving at GW16 and suddenly realising Kane has Fulham at home and having to take a hit to get him back in. Now, of course we all know how that usually pans out with Spurs / Kane / home banker of bankers etc but at least there won’t be a hit involved to rub salt etc.
When I rid myself of Kane and Son it was in the knowledge they had Liverpool, Leicester and Wolves on the horizon. And I have the first wildcard to gather them back into the fold (thinking of easier fixtures after Wolves plus the fact they play in 18 (I think)). So it wasn’t a cry for help type transfer.
Cheers gents. Other ideas for getting Salah in are welcome. Salah stays put though.
*Ahem
Ideas for getting Bruno ind. That lad from Ole’s lot.
I assume Pulisic and Robbo can’t become Bruno and anyone who actually starts in defence?
Taylor starts, no?
Can you be creative and ditch Pulisic and Grealish – get Bruno plus some dreck? Will allow you to keep Kane and play a reasonable 3/4/3 (Soucek starting instead of dreck).
Taylor of Burnley I might add init
Thanks Kralin might do that, though one probably shouldn’t expect too mich from Soucek
All jokes aside, Soucek has been one of the stars of my side this season. His points have been timely and welcome. Though he may start from the bench for me this week.
Definitely option one – don’t lose Kane!
cheers Swirly :good:
Mccarthy
Chilwell webster dier
Salah kdb mahrez grealish
Vardy adams Dcl
Subs forster justin dallas bissouma
2 FT
What u propose?
No united or spurs assets who to get?
What do you have in the bank?
0 in bank
Rank 21k
Welcome back!!!!!!!!
I take it this means you can do your own H&L now without emailing me, which is timely as you have about 4 to do at once!
Yesss thanks for ur usual support
What do.u think about my team?
Looks good :rofl:
Have 2 transfers
Should do 1
Fernandez
Kane
Son
Must have or other idea u have
Wow, 21k without Son or Kane is impressive! How about Bamford and Son in for Mahrez and Vardy?
I wildcarded 2 weeks ago and got kane and son before also fernandez
Planning to get some of them
Son or Fernandez?
Evening all!
Looking at Vardy and Soucek out for Bamford and Son using my two FTs. Would leave £1m in the bank in case it does become the case Salah needs to somehow come in! Sound like a plan?
Looks good Swirly :wink2:
I’d then do KdB to Salah next week and let that ride throughout Christmas / NY.
Cheers, Init! Hope you’re keeping well mate
Very solid plan indeed mr Badger! :good: :yes:
Haha, thanks Dane!
I thought it was a dog too.
:acute:
