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?!

Not had chance to get on much this week, good to go with this lot? Admittedly taken a hit and done Barnes & DCL out for Gundo & Cavani. I felt Gundogan was getting to must have territory especially with the double.
No idea what I’m doing next couple of weeks mind…
Think Gundogan will definitely be the most captained player. So yes not having him would hurt! And if he blanks you’ll be on the same boat as the many..
Other then that your team in grand
Thanks, i should have brought him in a few weeks ago when I got rid of Foden but was trying to be clever with Barnes. Oh well.
Hi gang. Final check in for me! I got in DCL early and used my ft and he got injured. Ive got 5 million in the bank. Shall i bench him and play Soucek or Chillwell? Or alternatively get in another dgw player like Digne? Thanks all and have a great weekend
I did DCL —> Richarlison just for the heck of it
Nice idea. Thinking of this for my team as well
Just scored twice out of the blue so thought to myself he might continue that now, who knows
And I guess he will lead the line for Everton with DCL out against Fulham?
No necessarily, they might start with Joshua King as Ancelotti mentioned yesterday I believe, but he might, Ancelotti didn’t say 100% King will start, he said something along the lines of King could play well in that position for Everton…
But yeah I wouldn’t definitely do it for a hit, apparently DCL might be back soon and he should have a great DGW in GW26 so just bench him! Play Soucek instead!
I thought about Richarlison – who seems a good choice – but fretted slightly about his state of potential knackeredness after the epic game the other night. But, these chaps are fairly fit.
Yes, and as DCL is out there’s not a lot of alternatives at Everton, think he’ll play
Have put in Soucek. Ive missed a few of his hauls. Maybe he does something today
Better?
Yeah I like it!
Nice one Zed. Is it worth a hit to do Ryan to Pope?
I have no idea, I would hope so as I have him in my team, but it’s tough decision that, it could pay off though… Martinez has a good chance for a clean sheet I think
Would you play Bamford or Antonio this week? Leaning towards Bamford…
Bam Bam
Antonio
One for each, oh the headache continues :laugh2:
Antonio.
Both if you can, but Antonio if needs be.
Good morning gents. Still with 2FT and 2.1m itb. Should I do Dier & DCL to Lowton & Ings? Any thoughts/suggestions?
I am in a similar position and I decided to go DCL —> Richarlison this week and then sell him to Ings next week
Yeah I was thinking initially to get Ings a week earlier but Richy is an interesting option having watched him getting his mojo back thanks to Spurs
Coys, I went Cavani as one week punt. Most likely we all going to be wildcarding next, so why not 😉
Yeah not sure about wildcarding next gw but if I’m more certain about WC I think Cavani sounds good
Yeah makes sense. Ings or Cavani not a lot in it. Cavani is more punty
I quite like that though – brings an element of fun into the game; you win some, you lose some. I’m figuring the DGW should cover any bêtise (if you can call it that).
However I’d bring in Ings this week if not wildcarding next.
What about Richy as a punt for this week?
. Also Digne instead of Lowton/Mee ?
I think Cavani will get more big chances than Rich across two games personally
This is me bench boost is activated. I’m still debating on captain
Interesting capo Smash, good luck with the BB mate.
Best of luck Smash. The nice thing about playing the chips is getting the bloody things out of the way and not having to worry about them until next season – and presumably you have the FH up your sleeve anyway if a subsequent DGW is ultra-juicy.
Logical captain choice, I ummed and erred between him and Gundogan before the lure of the DGW drew me towards the latter.
Good luck with you BB Smash.
Yeah I could still go Gundogan as captain I’m really not sure
Back on Gundogan now
I’ve had the armband on Bruno more often than not this season, however the double for Gundogan with the surprising form he is in seems the logical choice this week.
FWIW I think they’ll both score similar points, between 12 to 15 I’m going.
Yeah think I agree with this
Would you play Anguissa (double game) or Bamford this week?
Bamford
+1.
thanks guys!
