FF247 FPL Team GW3
Welcome to FF247 FPL Team GW3
¡Arriba, Arriba!
Thank the good lord for Mitrović, for our cheap and nasty striker was our highest scorer this week with his brace at Leeds leading to a dozen very gratefully received points. Aside from him it was our men at the back who kept us afloat with clean sheets from Ryan, TAA and VVD while Taylor chipped in with an assist. Captain Aubameyang contributed a mere assist at home to the Hammers and will be lucky to survive the chop. Midfield maestros Havertz and Saint-Maximin hardly troubled the scorers while Vardy and Wilson weren’t much better. In fact, when Leicester score four and Vardy isn’t involved in one bit of it then you probably know the writing is on the wall for your GW. Our score of 53 was below par and has brought us our first red arrow of the season. It won’t be the last! We go into GW3 with a rank of 2,424,028, but we’re ahead of Kop and Cookie at least. We have much to ponder, as do they!
Our GW3 Result…

Let’s go see what was decided…
Our GW3 Transfer(s)
Gameweeks 1 & 2 have been relatively peaceful and controversy free at FF247 HQ. The ‘virtual WC’ in GW1 was agreed upon surprisingly quickly and the decision to carry a free transfer in GW2 was unanimous. The calm before the inevitable storm perhaps…
We won’t have been alone in the pre-determined decision to transfer out Auba for KdB in GW3. The only variable for many will have been seeing the latter appear fit and healthy in GW2, the fact that he did but also didn’t miss a step and somehow looked even better than ever sealed that particular deal.
And then in stormed a Jimenez lover, and he wasn’t much up for leaving until we all joined in his Mexican orgy…
Poor old Vardy was on the block but he got some love to stay. Timo Werner was mentioned as an alternative, but he was deemed to be too premature, and such was our cactus holders passion and determination to press harder that the rest of the cast were left naked wearing only sombreros and sipping Desperados quicker than they could say… albur.
Something to do with his next three fixtures being West Ham, Fulham and Leeds, apparently. And their propensity to be leaky.
A -4 was considered to bring a certain Colombian newbie to the party but that was shelved until next week. The feeling being that he will climax at home to Brighton as opposed to at the Palace this week. Which would just be rude.
To confirm then we have SOLD Auba & Vardy and BOUGHT KdB & Jimenez
Captain – KdB
The strength in conviction wasn’t so strong when it came to the armband though as KdB romped away with this one, Jimenez coming second.

Last Q from me. How we assess Dunne vs Mitchell?
Smash
Mitchell. I think he might keep his place
OddDane
Is PVA not getting better?
Smash
PVA has never been nailed under Hodgson. Mitchell has been heavily praised and he’s been playing well. He certainly stands a chance of keeping his place
OddDane
Fair point. I thought it was just the injuries that kept him off, the lad is a CP institution though, difficult to imagine a team without him
Zed Leppelin
Here’s my WC team, good to go? Don’t have much time to tinker…
IvanTheTerrible
Zed, smart selection. You could be missing Mitro this week but the team looks excellent. I bet Finlandia contributed :drinks:
Zed Leppelin
Mitro will never come close to my team! Finlandia contributed to the extent that I’m having a rough time right now, might need to start the day with another dip down to my cellar :drinks:
IvanTheTerrible
:laugh2: Cheers for that, it’s already a happy hour in Hog Kong :drinks:
OddDane
As an American fast food franchise might say, I’m lovin’ it
Zed Leppelin
Cheers mate!
Leprechaun
Looks good.
Is Martinez a better call than Ryan for GK?
Zed Leppelin
I don’t know really, I think I might actually change to Ryan still… Martinez is there for save points (hopefully) and you get the backup keeper in Steer…
Leprechaun
Yes the saves could help – he has a tough run of fixtures after this week
TheDreamers
If you go Martinez, you can get Lamptey. If you go Ryan, you can get Konsa I guess
Zed Leppelin
That’s true, I guess that’s a decent point too towards getting Martinez
s
Kdb or Werner for captain :blink:
OddDane
Or Salah, all good options! I‘ve gone with Werner for now
s
Me too bound to get it wrong oddane :dash:
OddDane
Well, let’s hope not!… But, I’ll be sure to blame you if we get it wrong :laugh2: 😀
Smash
Right A or B? It’s basically DCL and Anguissa or Hamez and Brewster? DCL draft has 0.4 in the bank
AmateurOpinions
Brewster will go somewhere this transfer window and score goals. But he may not start immediately and his place will not be assured.
DCL is excellent value still so probably safer to get on that bandwagon.
Things will change in a couple of months.
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
As much as I love James, I think DCL will benefit more on points because he’s finishing everything.
The fact Anuguissa is playing and has an assist already, sways me that way too. Another thing is the better flexibility you have in attack with a 7.2mln striker as opposed to a 4.5mln one.
DCL and Anguissa.
Stone Frog
I would go for DCL and a sure starter. I also worry Rodriguez may assist the assister a lot.
AmateurOpinions
I think that is a fair analysis of James.
MadHatter
Not much love for Sterling. Thoughts on him over Salah?
TheDreamers
Dont think so MH. Who knows
inittowinit
Don’t think I’d take him over Salah but I bought him last night myself.
specialK
Morning all. Am I good to go here?
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
I’m sure you are special
Good luck.
specialK
Thanks GP, and you too!
