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.

Who’s your captain this week and why
Kane, record against Leicester
If I had Kane I’d go for him, but I don’t, so Bruno :big_boss: :yahoo:
Kane now, salah could be a last min runner
2FT’s 1.0 ITB
Totally unsure what to do with my team. Mahrez isn’t nailed on yet I have no east way of getting the cash for KDB/ Salah obviously. Do i downgrade robbo? Upgrade Kilman/ Mitchell to a playing defender?
duthers,
I think Mahrez plays today and possibly against Newcastle too. I would hold. I reckon your staring defence is perfectly fine considering they all have a DGW in week 19. The rest of the team I love as well.
I see this as a near perfect opportunity to straighten out Kilman and Mitchell with those two free moves. Vestergaard/Bednarek from Southampton, Taylor from Burnley, Coufal from West Ham.
Would not only set you up for the DGW but should also provide much needed cover across the rest of the festive period and beyond.
GP
really appreciate this, was kinda freaking out over my team but this has settled me down :yes: Think I’l go Taylor in for Kilman this week and start him then Coufal in for Mitchel next. cheers
Mahrez has three goals and one assist in eight appearances against Southampton, of which one goal and one assist were at St Mary’s too. He was rested the last game and him missing really showed, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see him play this week. I’d swap Mitchell for Burnley’s Taylor and then play him ahead of Dallas. Your team looks good, otherwise!
Cheers swirly, yeah Mahrez is such a weird player. Brilliant on his day but sometimes goes missing and sometimes pep just does pep things. gonna go with that transfer suggested. :good: How is your team looking?
Nice one, duthers. Yeah, quite happy with my team, having brought in Bamford and Son for Vardy and Soucek. Have £1m left over for a Salah move if needed. Kane as captain, fingers crossed!
:biggun:
Can’t decide between Kane or Bruno captain :wacko:
Just went to Bruno from Kane. It’s the goals conceded by Leeds that may be change my mind. I feel Bruno may haul.
Trent or Robertson?
I’m thinking of a punt on TAA, for a couple of weeks before I WC
I had the choice and went for Robertson.
He’s obviously more settled than Trent this season and there’s not much between them on ownership anyway.
yeah Robertson has passed the eye test too, I just can’t help and wonder a TAA haul is incoming for some reason.
It’s been a while
went with TAA, I like going with my gut, worst come worst I’m Wcing in 2gws anyways
