exclamation: meh
expressing a lack of interest or enthusiasm.
“meh, I’m not impressed so far”
48 points in GW20 and six above the average. ‘Meh’ about covers it.
Our team did secure a green arrow in the overall rankings this week moving up to 1,141,741 from 1,201,188 – 59,447 places. Woo. Hoo.
We know, we know! “It’s a step in the right direction” / “It’s no red at least” / “The correct side of the average”. Etc. etc. But come on this is boring. We want big scores, flashy jumps. In essence, we want to be the hare not the tortoise!
Not looking at it forensically this week – but we had FOUR players with a solitary point in Alex McCarthy, Vlad Coufal, Paddy Bamford and Harry Kane so thank goodness for Gundogan, Antonio, Grealish, Chilwell and Dias for pulling their weight and doing the heavy lifting for the aforementioned rubber ducks.
If only we’d captained Gundogan but can’t honestly say it crossed anyone’s mind…..
Our GW20 Result…
Let’s go see what was decided…
Our GW21 Transfer(s)
Nobody in our number fancies Kane does a Lazarus and starts on Sunday and with not much value to be lost if we need to buy him back, we thought we would dip into the market for a new striker. This one was as quick a transfer decision as has been seen within FF247. Two minutes quick, in fact:
To confirm then we have SOLD HARRY KANE and BOUGHT DOMINIC CALVERT-LEWIN
Captain – ILKAY GUNDOGAN
With three quickfire votes for the German (and one member temporarily abstaining due to recent personal form), this one too was quickly done and dusted. We like City’s fixture, the midfielder is in scoring form and ‘could/should’ be on penalty-taking duty.
If Pep peps us, then BRUNO FERNANDES will step up as vice captain.

Anyone worried about Gundogan minutes? – i.e. that he could come off early again if game is over as a means of giving him a rest like last gw.
He had already scored two when he was subbed, my take is he was rested for the benefit of the coming games which I suppose bodes well for this gw.
Good point OD
I approve of this message.
+1
Pep said in the presser than there’s no way Gundo is rested and he plays vs Sheffield.
And as for managing minutes, it only goes to show that pep wants him starting ever week. And isn’t that what we all want ?
I’ve done Kane > DCL.
Bit of a strange one, ended up with 12.4m in the bank and no idea what to do with it.
Looks good to me, good luck :good:
You could buy Salah or Mane for JWP and bench Bamford?
That’s not a bad idea!
If your team doesn’t need the cash, then just leave it in the bank. I have 10.3 itb currently. There’s a reason that most managers have plenty in the bank with so many cheap options available at this point.
And the big names either injured or not performing.
Wise and bright folks, decision time..! 1.2itb.
Kralin kindly advised the good move of Kane to DCL, any other good suggestions in store?
That certainly seems the obvious move. I’m taking a punt and holding on to him, but then I had bigger problems to fix.
Might keep him too and ship out Coufal and/or Branthw… Or a (not so) big hitter from the midfield
Braithwaite to Stones?
Thanks Doc, 0.1 short unfortunately
Who to captain??
DCL
Son
Salah
Bruno
Cancelo
Oops sorry, that was meant to be a reply!
I’ve gone Salah. Son vice.
Was seriously considering Cancelo!
Cancelo is tempting… Hmm… I’m between him and Salah, but I also have had horrendous form since gw13…
I have absolutely no idea… Currently on Son, it’s a minefield out there, anyone’s guess…
I’ve gone Salah. Son vice.
Was seriously considering Cancelo!
Mines currently on DCL with Cancelo vice! :wacko: too many options!
What about Cancelo? He’s on form
