FF247 FPL Team GW20
Welcome to FF247 FPL Team Gameweek 20
Technically 3 18s
So with no chips in play, we navigated Gameweek 19 with NINE double gameweek players and eight within the starting eleven (more on that later) and saw fit to ride it out as we were.
The headline is we scored 95 points – a respectable 21 points above the average – but that was dwarfed in comparison to some of the big guns within the community who were clearly clarivoyant in their transferring in of John Stones and his 21-point first match and posted scores of upwards of 130. Bravo!
The 95 brought us up in the rankings to 1,201,188 overall and knocking on the door of the top million which in broader terms is poor by our own standards but in the context of our 2020/21 season so far, is actually pretty handy considering we were outside the top 2 million just five gameweeks ago. Four green arrows in a row no less. As the old saying goes ‘slow and steady wins the race’*
*for the top 50k.
The review of the individual players will firstly skirt over the bombers. Alex McCarthy (1), Patrick Bamford (2) and Tomas Soucek (4) can hit the showers. Ben Chilwell (7) and Harry Kane (9) sandwich our eightsome reel – Salah, Bruno and Grealish – who scored one little duck each. Considering each had a double gameweek AND Salah was our captain that is pretty disappointing. Not ‘4 point disappointing’ but disappointing nonetheless.
Vlad Coufal hauled 12 in his two games and considering he only got one clean sheet, that’ll do.
Cast your mind back to the title. We had three players score us 18 points – Dias of The City, Antonio of The Hammers and Matt Targett of the Villa. However, we were somewhat off target as we ‘left back’ the Villa man on our bench.
Could have been the ton there if we had played the DGW to the maximum and left Bamford (or Kane, unlikely) on the bench. But still, as Rino Gattuso once said whilst coach of Milan and when asked what would have happened IF his team had scored first:
“IF MY UNCLE HAD THREE BALLS HE’D BE A PINBALL MACHINE”
Our Gameweek 19 Result…
Let’s go see what was decided…
Our Gameweek 20 Transfer(s)
The injury to Kevin De Bruyne obviously caught our attention and like many, the idea that an already-in-form Ilkay Gundogan would now play a more prominent role in this City team (including the likelihood of him being on at least some of the penalty duties) was too good to resist. We say a farewell to Soucek then as we aren’t likely to triple captain him any time soon.
To confirm then we have SOLD TOMAS SOUCEK and BOUGHT ILKAY GUNDOGAN
Captain – BRUNO FERNANDES
One of the number actually fancied the armband with the new signing right away. The more sensible/boring among us prefer Bruno Fernandes who sauntered off the bench in the FA Cup to sweep away a free kick from the edge of the box. Just getting his eye in ahead of Sheffield United coming to Old Trafford on Wednesday evening
Should something go wrong with the Portuguese, we back Gundogan with the vice captaincy.

Morning all, another game week upon us how does this lot look? Transfer already used so wondering if KDB out to Gundogan is good for a hit or just leave as is? Bench order ok?!
Take KDB out after this GW. No hit.
Hi
i dont know what to do
mccarthy
justin webster holding dier dallas
bruno kdb salah son bassiouma
Antonio wilson bamford
1ft 1.3 m bank
I feel I need -4 but I see I can play 4 def
please advise with recommendations
Wilson to Cavani if you fancy a punt? Most obvious is to move KDB to whoever you fancy, think you can manage away without a hit.
KdB for son and play 3-4-3
i have son already
My bad.
One of the Leicester mids then. Maddison ?
You could get in a city defender as well.
Guys any advice here? 6.3m itb and 1 ft. Cheers guys.
Sorry no ft, I already used it. :wacko:
Good to go
Planning to take out El Ghazi and get in a replacement. Who do I get out of:
Gundogan/Foden/Maddison/Barnes
I can also think of getting Diaz for injured Taylor in defense. Which move will serve me better?
Full team is below. 2.3 ITB 1 FT
Mc Carthy
Stones Justin Coufal
Salah Son Bruno ElGhazi
Kane Antonio Bamford
Bench: Soucek Mitchell Taylor
Defence seems serviceable for now so I’d go for the midfielder. I personally like Maddison but Gundogan is proving very popular.
I like Maddison too. Just got my head turned by the popularity of Gundogan.
Just that without Vardy, will opposition defense be stretched enough to give Maddison the space to score/assist?
Gundogan on other hand will be playing same role now without KDB as he did in last few games with KDB.
Tricky one for me TBH :big_boss: :scratch_one-s_head:
Hey all
Have I got the 11 right here?
Hmm, tough 1.
If this was my team, I believe I would play Wilson ahead of Soucek. Leeds D is porous.
Newcastle have looked awful though. I can see them being dominated. It is tough though.
If Newcastle get a penalty Wilson is hitting it, but I actually get why you have him on the bench. Very least I think I’d have him first on it.
Part of me just wants to do Wilson to Antonio -4 and play him over Soucek. Probs not worth it though.
Hey all,
Really can’t decide who to bring in for Vardy. I can’t afford Kane without a hit which I don’t think is worth it.
Would be grateful for any advice, ta.
You could hold and bring Kane in next week.
Bamford vs Newcastle this week ?
