FF247 FPL Team GW15
The rank is an embarrassment, and that’s coming from me…
We wish we could nail the captain
We wish we could nail the captain
We wish we could nail the captain
But 50% of our captains have had 8 points or less…..
OK so our lyrical talents need a little brushing up but so does our overall rank in all honesty. Plodding along at just under the 2M mark at Christmas. We feel we are really yet to truly start this season. A drop of 400k places and of course the customary red arrow.
We reside at 1,964,141 to be exact and to appease those who like everything on exact record.
We scored 53 points in GW14 which was 7 points below the average. If it was not for Mo Salah (eventually), and Jack Grealish scoring us 16 and 10 respectively, then we shudder to think how we would have looked.
Fair enough, Matt Targett of Villa secured 6 points for his clean sheet and KDB and DCL had an assist each but the rest were blankers (‘blankers’ I said).
So ahead of a busy few days as we select our Christmas food supplies and wrap the last of the presents, we are required to work out how we approach the Boxing Day FPL deadline.
We have one Free Transfer ahead of this week and a skinny £0.3m in the bank. Oh, and potentially a Chilwell injury to consider.
Tis’ the season… (to find a quiet corner and nail a Baileys or six).
Our GW14 Result…
Let’s go see what was decided…
Our GW15 Transfer(s)
Bruno and Chilwell dominated the initial thinking here. One probably needing to arrive and the other probably needing to depart. With neither being French this should have been straightforward, ish. But then our BGW18 / DGW19 plans resurfaced. To reiterate / remind you: we (sort of) decided that we would Free Hit in the former and Bench Boost in the latter. Meaning we would need to build towards 19. A gentle discussion about the merits of a cheap John Stones punt or an episode of ‘FF247 does Dallas’ ensued but it was all soon interrupted when Cookie bundled into the office and clearly had a fair bit to get off his chest, and boy did he unload…
Maybe the in-laws had just arrived (we shall discover more on Christmas Day when we release his latest Diary edition!) or perhaps he simply had a point.
Most mere mortals would be quaking in their boots at this point. The Daddy of FF247 finally losing his sh*t with us all because of our abject performance, etc.
Errrrrrmmmmmm, no…. our teflon panel, all sporting their well worn ‘been there, seen it, done it’ t-shirts, barely glanced up. And cracked on with the meeting.
Bruno was still a thorn in the side, or not as it so happened. Acquiring him was becoming problematic, certainly in relation to the 18/19 plans. Kane or KdB would have to leave and neither of those things were deemed particularly desirable this week. Bruno would have to wait. As would all others apparently as we slowly came to the realisation that saving a transfer this week was probably the best move all round, albeit understanding that we have to rely on either Dann or Kilman to turn up for their 1 point cameo.
To confirm then we have HELD our transfer
Captain – Salah
Understandably this particular decision was less complicated. West Brom at home after a ‘rest’, in which he still managed two goals and an assist. Say no more.

Is stones worth bringing in for either Dallas, kwp or Justin?
On a wc and thinking maybe defence looks a bit weak ???
Having said that city don’t have a double in gw19
Which is better a or b
For a BB soon A
Who to bring in? Trent or Robbo. Money not an issue.
Trent
Stats say Robbo
pretty boring but Robbo is higher owned so him
The cool kids have both.
What happens if I get one in?
Hey eagle, numbers say robbo but I’m going with TAA!
P.S remember what happened last year against Leicester
2FT’s 0.7 ITB
Think I’m going for Kane, Mahrez and James out for Woods/ Abraham/Adams, Salah and Coufal for a -4. Obviously losing Kane annoying but need Salah. Unsure which of the three listed strikers is best, I like Woods fixtures but adams is probably more reliable
Or I could actually do Mahrez, Son and James out for Salah, Bowen and Coufal. Basically get rid or Son or Kane
Duthers, while reading your first post I was thinking you’d be better losing Son than Kane.
And then I read your 2nd post!
Lose Son.
thanks Cookie. Yeah the thing that sways it if nothing else is Kane is on pens and getting son back in is easier as I could just take out Bruno.
Please rate my team below
I have 1FT and 0.3 in bank
Feels like there’s too much money on the bench. Chilwell won’t play so bench defender will come in. Don’t see anything glaringly obvious so would roll to have 2 transfers next week.
Planning to lock in tonight and not look at my team tomorrow. Good to go here? Brought in Coufal for Lamptey. Vestergard is out we think?
:good:
Can someone tell me why everyone is suddenly buying Coufal. Yes price isn’t bad, but he plays for West Ham and only has 3 assists all season. Feel like I must be missing something
Well he only started playing in GW4 so he’s played 11 games now and has 3 assists in those games… Tell me which 4.5m def has more? He also has 3 clean sheets in 11 games, that’s decent… Fixtures are great and Hammers have amazing double in GW19… He’s nailed and has good creative numbers!
I’ve had him since GW8 and he’s served me well!
Coufal vs Cresswell (Last 3 GWs)
Mins per touch in the final third: 4.6 vs 4.2
Mins per big chance created: 270 vs 270
Mins per chance created: 33.75 vs 90
Mins per big chance: 270 vs 270
Coufal is second for chances created and big chances created amongst defenders over the past six GWs
Interesting thanks guys. Knew there would be something statistically significant I wasn’t thinking about
