FF247 FPL Team GW24
Welcome to FF247 FPL Team GW24
A strategy?!
As some of you may recall this was the week we took the plunge on two Burnley players – Nick Pope and Matt Lowton – as they had a nice little run of games and started those at home to improving but hardly world-beating Brighton. And then 10 minutes from half time, Lewis Dunk happened. Four points from our duo of new signings was hardly a fantastic start to the week (more so when you take into account we had Jack Grealish with a 2 point apology in the lunchtime match).
Thankfully Saturday was rounded off with a Coufal clean sheet and then 26 points from Bruno © and DCL at Old Trafford in that brilliant 3-3 draw.
Sunday’s big match saw us owning Dias (1), Salah (7) and Gundogan (13) with Bamford grabbing a 6 pointer in the Monday Night Football.
The arrows are still green though! Well, the overall one is anyway as we move to 962,223 – about 5,700 places of a rise. Our overall total is now 1329 points thanks to our 67 this past week. We are getting there.
Our GW23 Result…
Now with the DGWs about to begin and with every second player seeming to be picking up an injury in the cup, we go to the judge’s scorecards to see what’s been decided.
Our GW24 Transfer(s)
How to summarise 72 hours worth of WhatsApp messages in a few short sentences? Well, we can knock about 70 of those off before someone (sane) actually pointed out that the previous 70 meant nothing without a DGW strategy!
That did at least seem to concentrate the wandering minds and it was crystalised down to this, in traditional RMT fashion:
- A. No idea
B. WC in 25, BB or TC in 26
C. Stumble on through until after 29 and then WC in 30 (we have no FH chip left)
The reality is that we don’t actually know what 26 looks like yet, or even what additions will arrive in 27 & 28. or even a complete 29 for that matter. But we have crumbs of clues and we expect 26 will look big, the next 2 may have some small additions and 29 will be as is but plus Villa v Spurs. Tha latter of all that is actually a big saving grace in terms of playing the WC next week as it means we can probably negotiate 29 with some degree of respectabilty without having a FH or ripping our team apart again with hits galore.
All of the above was discussed mainly beacause it impacts what we do this week. No WC in 25 would mean concentrating on what is beyond, a WC would give us freedom for a one week wonder.
Our team page on Thursday looked like the United Nations had invaded it, on Friday it looked like Boris had been in and cleaned it all up. Except for the DCL flag which he seemed to have left behind, torn in two, rather unhelpfully. And of course that became the main thread of the discussion. With Fulham out of the equation and Man City looking questionable, and that was regardless of his actual participation, we decided that he should probably leave us for now and so two options were presented: Ings or Cavani. Ings represented the convervative side of having a player who would then have a DGW in 25, Cavani was our one week punt and represented us throwing caution to the wind (and let’s face it, probably WC’ing in 25).
There was a feeling that once 26 was announced we would almost certainly want to WC and so Cavani was in favour, much favour in fact, full house favour.
To confirm then we have SOLD DCL and BOUGHT Cavani
Captain – Gundogan
Full agreement again here, in fact the whole committee voted: Gundogan (C), Bruno (V). Who’d have thought that back in GW1?!

2FT
Martinez
Stones cancelo lowton
Salah gund Bruno son
Dcl Watkins antonio
A. Stones, dcl, son -> Tark, sterling, cavani? -4
B dcl -> bam or Cavani
Over thinking it??
I like A bit sans Stones leaving, I guess that’s not possible.
B depends on whether you are WC’ing next week, to some extent.
Is this my best line up/bench boost order?
Have no idea if I will WC or not, so have not made a transfer.
Will appreciate any input.
Thanks guys
I may play Soucek ahead of Son but other than that it seems fine.
Thank you Kralin…will do that.
Do you think Charlie Taylor will start? I have him on the bench in my B team.
I was about to ask Kralin the exact same thing myself, funnily enough.
I was going to sign off but thought I’d wait for that question. I sensed it was coming.
Not only will he play, Bees, but he will score a power header and lay on an assist.
As a consequence your B team will be like Ivan’s – always there before us, and always ahead.
Hi guys
i need your urgent support
1 FT 5.2 M in bank
what you recommend for transfer ? is minus 4 needed ?
Dcl to Kane/ Ings or Justin to Digne
I’ve been out of the loop this week but seen I need to switch Justine and DCL. I’ve got 2FTs and 2m to spend. Should I be looking at any dgw players? Thoughts here?
For justin you are looking at either one of the Burnley boys or Dallas then DCL to either Cavani or Ings with next week in mind.
2FT 5.7 ITB
Still unsure on my chip strategy but for this week i’m looking at either
Forster to pope
DCL to cavani
think I’m more inclined to bring in pope as everyone seems to have double burnley
I think I’d do Cavani there.
Last decision to be made.
Should I play Son over Bamford :scratch_one-s_head:
Dunne not getting any minutes?
Nah, Dunne has been a deadwood and will remain as such.
Was going to replace him with Lowton but opted out as will need cash for Kane and it’s not the best round for BB.
In that case I think you’ve got it right
Ha think I might be bench boosting. All team specific
Smash, I think 26 could be a better one for the BB, this round looks a bit messy and we’ll be faced with some weird unexpected scores once again.
So does 26 it’s not easy anyway. The cheaper teams have one fixture. A lot of the doubles have one good and one bad. That’s if they all even go into 26 which they might not. TC is what I’m thinking then
That makes sense. So I gather that you will be wildcarding in 25 then.
It’s a possibility but maybe not. Like this week I could go straight to Kane but think Cavani might be worth a punt. Need some Leeds for next week Raphinia or Dallas maybe both. Think I’m well set for double anyway
I’ve been thinking the same for the last couple of days, then the idea of WC started rolling. This morning brought in Cavani and left Kane for next week. That said, still think that him and Son will spoil City’s CS.
Yeah I think they score.
