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.

Would anyone consider a 4PH for Bamford to Jesus?
Only have Ilkay as my other City attacker
I don’t think Jesus gets the United game so prob not
+1, hitting on city players not worth as only maybe 2 or 3 guaranteed to start both games
Apart from Ederson, who might those 2 or 3 be? :whistle: :rofl:
1FT 0.2 ITB. Looking at
A- Shaw to Tierney
B- Barnes to Mount/Saka
C- rolling transfer
no FH left so I do need to start building to a GW29 team. cheers
It’s perfectly usable today. I would consider saving and looking at two moves next week.
cheers GP. GW29 such a pain, having to take in players that you wouldn’t really want just to have a somewhat playable team!
Let’s see where you are next week and before GW29 – landscape could change.
Looking at A too, like both A and B(Saka)
Our teams are similar. I did B with saka and played him over Watkins.
I just had the fear of barnes dropping and saka rising
Yeah I imagine those price changes happen. Villa have looked poor without grealish, watkins chances significantly dried up.
Dcl to Antonio?
keeping dcl for burnley next week but will probably do this move the week after
Hi all. Congrats to the site team on the stedy improvement. I’m up to 181K rank so I just want to say thanks to everyone who comments/gives their opinions to help with my team!
Am I good to go this week? Took a minus 4 for Barnes to Lingard aand Fernandes to KDB. I know it’s a massive risk but Bruno looks knackered, like at the end of last season. His high ownership and odd penalty will hurt me but I just don’t see him in form at the moment. Lingard won’t play GW28 but with one more FT before now and GW29, I should have 9 players.
Also, Raphina or Watkins?
Thanks all
Yeah I like it. And great rank, well done :good:
I really like the Lingard punt, come to think about it I’m tempted too!
Ralphina edges it for me
Raph v Watkin is a bit of a coin toss. watkins at home does the trick for me. nice team :good:
Would love the option to be able to cappo KdB personally, but understand your priority too
Cheers guys.
I’ll mull over it for the next 19 mins :rofl:
Vardy is still a concern, brought him in for the DGW and didn’t pan out too well!
I just don’t see KDB playing 180 mins and Gundogan got a rest
Stay with Konsa or play Dallas?
Stay with Konsa as you have it
Given the positions te takes up and scoring potential of Dallas I’d take the punt on him.
I think I would be playing Dallas too Ivan (sorry)
OK, thanks Kunal, K an GP.
I will be throwing the dice then :good:
Hi guys, thinking of saving my transfer, good to go?
worthy putting McCarthy in the starting 11?
I don’t think so. Could be wrong but I think McCarthy is out for a bit of a break.
Sheffield game isn’t a locked in cs. City is almost certainly at least 2 goals scored. He’ll get 7 points at best, maybe 3/4 at worst.
Is he for sure the number 1 keeper too? Think I’d leave as is
thanks guys
Start Coufal over Dallas perhaps? I’ve got Dallas in for goal threat really.
don’t think either keep a CS, so I’d go with the higher goal threat and start Dallas
Cheers Kunal.
As is for me beno.
Nice. Thanks guys.
