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.

Breaking news….
It would be awful if there were crowd cheering noises played when anyone scored in a sexual sense.
‘Is it in, yes, he’s scored at last, breaking his drought since early October.’
Cue mass cheering!
Cue an even more f*cked up society, more like.
Great comic potential, admittedly.
Only just, not months ago! Anyway that’s abuse of the system. You shouldnt be furloughed if there is little prospect of a job to go back to. :rofl:
1FT and 0.1 ITB. Thinking Cavani to Antonio as the latter has a great fixture vs Leeds and helps me prepare for GW29. Antonio does have Man U next, but seems almost fixture proof.
Any thoughts?
That’s a very good idea.
I was looking at Antonio myself but he’s the one who got away from me this GW.
leeboy – a very sensible move.
Yep like it. Just got Antonio myself with Son
Ditched Vardy, perchance?
Yep he looked so bad. Could not handle it going forward
Hey guys, how’s everyone doing?
I think I’ll roll the ft this week. Any thoughts, am I gtg, cheers.
CS odds suggest Rudiger over Coufal:
Chelsea 44 %
West Ham 26 %
Only thing I can see, otherwise GTG.
I’d play Rudiger over Coufal.
Thanks guys.
Can’t shake the urge to get rid of Bruno for Son guys :wacko:
It makes sense, but takes guts to sell the highest scorer in the game, to this point.
What will u do with this lot Cookie ?
Phœnix, I would sell Bruno for Son, and indeed I did.
Auba was a strong option also but I was hesitant on the thought that Arteta would prioritise Europa.
Son gives you decent fixtures, form, a game in 29, a DGW still to come, though a blank in 33.
Bruno to Son done ✅
**new gimmicky feature** If you make the move we will guarantee the site will break out in huge applause.
There’s a canned laughter option too, or the sound of one hand clapping if you fancy?
I wouldn’t.
Might work this week though.
Although that old ‘Spurs v Palace’ thing may be a trap too.
Im keeping Bruno so I sold Salah
84 points for me last turn including the triple captain chip on Kane.
8 points trebled to 24 points is much better than last seasons 1 point trebled to 3 points for Mane.
Moving onto this game week and I have finally thrown in the towel on Salah.
I know he is home to Fulham but totally scunnered by him.
Had to remove Foden as I had two other Manchester City players to bring in KdB and Shelvey(!) to help for game week 29.
Armband on Kevin.
Jamie
Evening all. Ended up on 99 last week and looking to build some momentum. I have 1.4 in the bank and 1ft. I wanted to do Barnes and DCL to Son and Antonio but am 0.1 short. Any ideas in what to do here? Barnes to Lingard? Thanks all.
I’m not seeing a great deal wrong with the team as it is.
Cheers init. Worried about no Son but cant bring him unless i drop bruno or salah
It’s a fools lottery that, just stick with what you have .
And come what may.
Cheers init
