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.

Might need someone to talk me out of Sterling triple captain.
Terrible idea? We expecting a better DGW?
Kralin
The only person who can talk you out of that one is yourself old chap, he said sententiously.
Just go for it if you fancy it. It’s not the worst TC punt.
Little Red Lacazette
If you are feeling it, go for it.
Little Red Lacazette
Good luck everybody. I am Rolling FT. Hope my guesswork for benching players works. :wacko:
Cookie
Best of luck Little Red.
Little Red Lacazette
Cheers man. How are you set up?
Cookie
This is me Little Red. Anyone of the Bench you’d play and for who?
Little Red Lacazette
Don’t know Cookie, Ricardo didn’t impress with his 2 points in the double. You already have Villa def cover, maybe Digne over him? But go with your gut.
Cookie
Thanks Little Red – Leicester as a whole didn’t impress me!
However, Pereira looked great vs Villa so am happy to give him games vs goal shy Brighton and Sheff Utd.
OddDane
Cookie you could play Targett over Rüdiger or DCL, this raises the bar of high your score will(reads; can) go I think
(in small print; of course the floor becomes a tad deeper too but let’s keep to positives, eh?)
Smash
Like it I’d be tempted by Dallas over Digne
Little Red Lacazette
Yeah, 50-50.
OddDane
Yeah this was my thought too. Nice team though!
Santa
Am I good to go ?
Cookie
Santa, good to go? You’re the best part of 10 months early mate.
Santa
Haha, gotta do something in between wrapping presents. :laugh2:
Cookie
You do need a keeper, Santa as Smash points out.
Santa
I did Calvert Lewin > Kane, and Mee > Rudiger for a hit. Do I take another hit for a keeper?
Cookie
Up to you Santa, but I think Forster plays.
Zed Leppelin
McCarthy —> Ederson
Smash
Apart from not having a keeper yeah
Santa
Maybe McCarthy plays… taking a risk. Had to prioritise bringing in Kane this week.
Smash
It’s possible but I doubt it
Tornado
1 FT, 1.4 ITB. 50/50 on playing FH in 29.
Starting XI, bench order, need of using FT?
Any ideas here?
Cookie
Tornado, the conservative / play the safe game says to hold.
Smash
Looks good
Tornado
Cheers both
inittowinit
Play Neto or Raphinha?!
Got Raphinha in there right now but looking at the fixtures Villa v Wolves is on today at about the exact time I’ll be settling down and ordering pizza …
Kralin
Neto very marginally.
Best of luck this GW.
Kop Warrior
Cookie, please stop logging in as Init!!
Kop Warrior
Well spotted Kralin! :big-lol:
Cookie
What will you be doing at 8pm Monday?
inittowinit
Probably wondering why I played Neto over Raphinha :rofl:
Smash
At least you have pizza for this one Monday you might have something awful
inittowinit
Awful? Like what?! Sounds like you may have deep seated wife based cooking issues!
I make my own most nights so it’s very rarely awful.
Monday is steak night, for the record.
Smash
Oh in that case prob Neto and enjoy the pizza. Nah Monday is good shop day for me it’s usually decent
inittowinit
Ok, done.

Keep flip flopping between Dias and Gundo captain.
I feel like two CS are quite likely for Dias. I can’t work out if Gundo is gonna keep popping up in the six yard area or if the return of KDB/Aguero/Jesus is going to reduce that.
Kralin
Follow your heart, beno1234.
Good luck this GW.
TheDreamers
Id go Dias if I had him
beno1234
Thanks guys. As a Man U fan I should probably back my team to score and go Gundo…
