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.

Konsa to Taylor
Vardy to Kane using 2 FTS.
Good luck everyone.
:good: GL!
Cheers OddDane. Good luck
Sounds like a good plan.
Jamie
Cheers Jamie! Good luck
Being picky, I’d just swap KWP and Anguissa on your bench. Hot to trot otherwise!
Hey guys, which 3 would you play out of these this week:
Chilwell, Taylor, Coufal & Dallas
Cheers
Chillwell, Taylor and Coufal
+1. No defending happening in the MNU/LEE game
.
Have Kane as capo atm, switching between Bruno and him.
I’m going with Bruno myself. Have Kane as well
I don’t have Kane but even if I did I’d leave it on Bruno
1FT and 0.6 in the bank. I have 2 options in my mind.
1. Mahrez to Fernandes and Robertson to Dier(or any other 5.1 defender) for a 4 point hit.
2. Save the FT.
I think I’d be keeping both of those there.
Robertson has a very favorable run of games and I think with Mahrez starts.
Save FT.
i’m leaving Mahrez in this week as i think he starts now after last week
Think I’d save it
Morning
Team for GW14; good to go?
See no problems there Mitro. Crack on mate. :good:
PS
NEARLY brought Ings in last night. Trust me I was very close to Jesus to Ings but I’ve gone the Adams route.
Thanks GP! Fingers crossed I see bit of leap in rank!
Morning
Mitchell and Jesus to Robertson and Adams for two free transfers.
We good?
Looks good GP and good morning!
What do you make of these Salah rumours?
Hi Cookie, you well?
I’ve had another of those weeks where I could have gone about a dozen different ways with transfers. It’s boiled down to dealing with two problems (Mitchell and Jesus) and getting in a couple of GW19 doublers with reasonably good fixtures in the interim, for free, and with a plan to get Son for Fulham.
The Salah rumours didn’t alter my thoughts on transfers, if he plays he plays, but I know that if he does play, I’ll want to own him. More importantly, I have him earmarked for captain on Boxing Day and maybe the 30th so I want to have him in the ranks.
What you thinking about him?
Fine thanks GP.
This bloke tends to be accurate so I assume he’s received word. Its a huge one to get wrong so his credibility is at stake.
There do tend to be a lot of leaks at that club.
I’m not kicking over tables if he is rested. Likely to happen with everyone at some point.
I just don’t want to burn a couple of moves on him.
I agree on the leak being incorrect and the ramifications but I’m OK with it. I’ll get Taylor or Coufal – what’s not to like? :wink2:
GP, Taylor or Coufal better than Mitchell!!
They play!
Team looks great GP.
Morning cookie – hope you are well? What rumours?
Morning Mitro, fine thanks, how are you and the family?
The rumour is Salah is not starting at Palace.
I’m good and the family are well! Currently half way around the West Midlands safari park feeding deers and zebras from the car!
Tbh salah is due a rest
looks set, good luck mate
That’s a nice side
Looks good to me GP! I’ve gone Kane cappo too. Good luck my fri
Friend*
Thanks mate
Looking more than good, GP! Best of luck
Praise indeed. You’re having a smashing season Swirly.
Cheers
