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.

No Salah?
Wow, that puts the cat among the pigeons set the cat among the pigeons :rofl:
Minamino isn’t good enough. So, even if Salah doesn’t start I’d expect him to come on.
Doesn’t seem to be. I’ve been disappointed with him as he certainly looked ideal when he came in. On previous CL showings.
I’d play Iwobi before him right now which is saying a lot!
Yet again, I demonstrate that I know SFA!
Wow, that would be a bonus to us non Salah owners.
Jamie
Jamie, schadenfreude… :not_i:
Init
I know Init.
I thought if you wheni typed my message.
Don’t know what is happening to me as I am normally not that type of person.
:help:
Jamie
That’s why I have commented on it twice now, because it is totally out of character. I’ve no particular issue with it but I have a feel for what is the norm and what isn’t, and this isn’t the norm for you.
As long as you are aware of it yourself then I’ll hold off calling in The Samaratins for a bit.
Although perhaps I was too flippantly dismissive of the shoelaces comments, assuming it was all in jest.
Feel free to email us / me if you ever need an ear, I’ll always respond.
I totally appreciate the offer.
Can I say that on the whole that this is a wonderful community.
Jamie
Damn! I was just debating how to get him in. Hmmm :scratch_one-s_head:
There seems to be an exodus of Vardy, am I missing something?
Leicester’s fixtures are toughening up whilst Spurs fixtures are easing slightly.
I did the Vardy to Kane transfer fir this game week.
Jamie
Just seems to be the chosen makeweight for other moves is all. Can’t say much as I did it myself last week, albeit reluctantly. There will be a week or so when it bites I’m sure as he’s capable of big returns at a moments notice.
That’s what I though! He is also normally pretty good against the top teams. As my defence needs sorting more than anything I have no option but to keep him!
Good evening!
2 FT, 2.1 M.
I wanted to bring Salah but there are rumors circulating about him being rested.
Any ideas?
Go to bed and forget about him?
Great shout but I am traveling atm, so no beds around. Other ideas :laugh2:
You might need my shoelaces if you end up bringing in Salah and he is a no show.
What about Vardy to Kane for this game week?
You may want to tidy up Mitchell for a regular playing defender at some point.
If Salah is rested then you can then bring him in at home to West Brom for KdB for the Boxing Day fixtures.
Jamie
Thanks Jamie!
I was actually considering those scenarios:
1) Vardy and KdB to Kane and Salah
2) Vardy and Podence to Brewster and Salah
3) Vardy, Podence & Chilwell to Bamford, Salah, Dier [(or similar) for a -4 hit].
I will sleep on it and will reassess tomorrow morning.
Hi Tornado,
Love option 1.
If Salah does indeed become a potential no show then just Vardy to Kane.
Save the transfer and bring Salah in with one if your two free transfers for the next game week..
Jamie
Cheers, Jamie!
I don’t want to sell KDB but I just can’t find a way to bring Salah in without sacrificing him. I will check the news in the morning and go from there!
Good luck this week!
Tornado. It’s a good team. Podence to Grealish?
Cheers, Constantine! Not enough funds for this move
Hey guys, am I gtg here?
Check the news / updates in the morning as regards your capo pick.
Help…have no idea who to cpt now that Salah looks like being rested.
Kane or Bruno?
Cheers!
If Salah is your preferred captain choice then keep the armband on him.
If I had all three then I would have the vice armband on Bruno.
I only have Kane so that is who I am captaining.
Jamie
Capo GW14
We normally ask the writers who they are captaining and post it at the end of the Capo article but we aren’t doing one this week so let’s get a feel from the community.
Who are you going for this week?
Init: DCL
Between Kane and Bruno.
So far, leaning strongly towards Kane.
**DCL massive differential captain choice who can do wonders.
GP: Kane (unless I’ve bought Salah and forgotten about it)
Init: DCL
Ivan: Bruno
Init: DCL
Ivan: Bruno
GP: Kane(d)
Tornado: Bruno (unless what GP said)
Init, just correct it please. I have to stay faithful and go with Kane.
He has been faithful to me for the last few weeks in the so called “tough” rounds. I carried him over together with his brother in crime Son, so that’s it, my final decision-HurriKane (C) :yes:
Ok, will do
Init: DCL
Ivan: Kane
GP: Kane(d)
Tornado: Bruno
Been on Bruno all week, fancied Salah but the benching rumor is enough for me not to go there!
I am going Kane, that record versus Leicester is outrageous.
+100
How many of those were playing for Jose’s new Inter though?!
2nd highest scoring Spurs team in the last ten years at this stage of the season. Only the 11-12 team had scored more at this point.
Leicester have conceded the least big chances away at Spurs (than any other other team) since Feb 31st 1957.
That was in their old stadium, they have conceded the most in the new one.
Spurs have made less big chances in both stadiums combined vs Leicester than they have to Marine in either.
Bruno (if I decide to get him, somehow), else
Salah
Init: DCL
Ivan: Kane
GP: Kane(d)
Tornado: Bruno
Rosco: Bruno
Mito: Inter Kane
Dane: Bruno or Salah
Init: Kane
Ivan: Kane
GP: Kane(d)
Tornado: Bruno
Rosco: Bruno
Mito: Inter Kane
Dane: Bruno or Salah
Me Bruno or Son
Its Salah for me unless he’s “confirmed” to be benched in which case it’s Kane.
Who have Liverpool got to replace Salah with like?, Jota is injured
Init: DCL
Ivan: Kane
GP: Kane(d)
Tornado: Bruno
Rosco: Bruno
Mito: Inter Kane
Dane: Bruno or Salah
DMC: Salah
Aarron13: Bruno or Son
Kane for me.
Jamie
I’d go with Bruno. Leeds do not exactly care about defending. Atttack vs attack. So, could see many goals here.
Init: DCL
Ivan: Kane
GP: Kane(d)
Tornado: Bruno
Rosco: Bruno
Mito: Inter Kane
Dane: Bruno or Salah
Jamie McLaces: Kane
Constantine: Bruno
:big-lol:

Bruno I think
I’m going with Kane, he has an impressive record against Leicester
LA: Kane
Kane
Init: DCL
Ivan: Kane
GP: Kane(d)
Tornado: Bruno
Rosco: Bruno
Mito: Inter Kane
Dane: Bruno or Salah
Jamie McLaces: Kane
Constantine: Bruno
Mitro: Bruno
Cookie: Bruno
Smash: Bruno
photek: Kane
Loud Atlas: Kane
Swirly: Kane
I’m doing Bruno I think
Going with Bruno regardless of the Salah news.
20 minutes left to cast your vote.
So far, 10 for Bruno and 7 for Kane. 1 goes to DCL and 1 undecided.
I am sticking with DCL now, I was going to go with Salah but not seeing this news, so my vote is for DCL.
Kop: Bruno
Bruno, begrudgingly
Bruno for me
Init: Bruno
Ivan: Kane
GP: Kane(d)
