FF247 FPL Team GW27
Welcome to FF247 FPL Team GW27
ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY!
Well ok, not quite. But that was about the target. It has to be when you go in with 14 DGW’ers, which is effectively 29 players. Or two and a half normal teams. But perhaps these modern DGW’s lull us into a false sense of security. A few years back you could pick said 29 and be relatively assured that you’d get about 27 or 28 of them on the actual pitch. Not so much these days!
As it was we came away with 113, minus the odd hit. And by ‘odd’ we mean a -4, not a -32. Someone best go check on Cookie…
As for the players themselves a few did exactly as expected (see Martinez, Digne, Son and Kane, even Lowton for that matter). A few got rotated as expected (see Gundo and Cancelo). A few disappointed (see Bruno and DCL). None particularly excelled.
Collectively though they saw us through to another green arrow, our 10th in 11 attempts, and another modest jump in the ranks of about 200k to see us now sitting 408,190th. Slowly, slowly, etc…
Our GW26 Result…
Let’s go see what was decided this week.
Our GW27 Transfer(s)
Our only issue was the injury suffered by Harvey Barnes. We looked at like for like replacements for the Leicester man and there was more than one nose turned up at what was on offer. Add to that, that if we did transfer someone in, it would mean that one of our current front seven would have to be dropped.
Some of our number were ballsy and were talking about Bruno being benched (he is looking a bit tired) and even DCL at Chelsea but the more risk averse members motion carried and the transfer will be held.
We don’t have our Free Hit chip left remember, so having two transfers to shape us up as best we can for BGW29 and another week’s worth of information is probably not a bad idea. We will also have greater flexibility in a Barnes replacement this way.
To confirm then we have HELD OUR TRANSFER
Captain – ILKAY GUNDOGAN
The obvious DGW attraction meant that it was a sure thing that the armband was going to a City player. But which? Well we are obviously in no mood to take any defensive captaincy risks – we’ve witnessed some big scores from Stones, Cancelo, Digne etc – and the armband then, goes to the midfielder amongst our Citizens. The German goes in search of his 12th goal of the season. We’re backing him to get it (and more!)
Should anything go wrong, we will swerve City altogether and place our back up chip on Harry Kane at home to Crystal Palace.

Site team for GW27 is announced.
Ok I’ve gone and mummified that red blanker. Will my replacement frog turn into an egyptian plague or spawn me a load of points? Behind the sofa time again !
Best of luck.
That’s a brave call.
This is my team tonight
It’s a nice team.
I promoted my Brighton defender to my starting XI in a moment of suspended disbelief.
I’ve got a deranged finger that wants to bench Fernandes for Soucek
Breathlessly here we are again :wacko:
98 on my bench boost and a green arrow.
What about this then?
One week soon Raheem is gonna smash it.
Prob the week you sell him
How was the DGW for you? Was that thrashing worth it, in the end?
I’m not sure your pep talks worked.
Let’s just say he wished his troops the best of luck but may have also put them somewhat behind the curve to begin with!
Puzzling in front of all the uncut barbed wire, eh.
Was it worth it? No not completely.
On reflection it was 2 hits too many – one of which I only did last minute which was annoying. The other really bad one was Vardy in, was surprised how poor Leicester were before and after the Barnes injury.
Was fun though, I gave it a shot and don’t care if I finish 1mln or 200k.
Last minute?! Hmmm….
Vardy may still come good; I came perilously close to getting him myself.
Vardy will go for Kane soon enough (not this week, already done 2 trannys!!)
Kop is partly right – my first transfer was Grealish to Barnes, which clearly didn’t work.
My last, and I agonised over this was Azpi to Pereira. Pretty annoyed with that one, in hindsight.
Kralin, if they are determined they just climb over it. They are venturing toward sure death anyway so a few cuts along the way hardly seem to either register or matter.
Sounds like contemporary British society.
Can’t lose if I never sell him then.
#winning
Looks fine but you could consider Rashford to Son if you’re fishing for transfer ideas.
Thanks Kralin. Was tempted to hold.
Double Everton forward looks iffy bs Chelsea defence but otherwise looks gtg
I’m not selling either though. I like what’s coming up for Everton. I can live with it.
Cheers
Hey guys
113 sounds like a decent week…I only managed 95
Here is my team…brought in Saka
GTG?
Or bring in Watkins??
I would play Watkins over DCL.
Still got my TC chip. Any others? Plans when you’re going to use it?
Yep when Spurs should get another double. Saints and could be Everton or Villa
I was, romantically, planning to play it on Salah when they take on Villa at Anfield.
But I have a sinking feeling now that one will be 1-8.
Likely to put it on Kane in Spurs’ DGW.
Hey guys. Decent DGW with 112 points and a nice green arrow. Would like your thoughts on the next GW.
I know the trend is moving towards double City attack. I’m on 2 players atm after selling Cancelo a few GWs ago but I’m thinking of going back to the double city defence albeit with Dias instead. Am I crazy ?
Or do I take out Bruno/Salah for KdB and be done with it?
I’d prefer double defence. Just think it offers better value
The City double defence has yielded me a lot of points so I wouldn’t argue against it. I doubt you’ll regret getting Dias in.
I’m playing it that if/when Gundogan gets injured I’ll move for Sterling or KdB. And hang the expense.
Thanks Smash and Kralin
