FF247 FPL Team GW4
Welcome to FF247 FPL Team GW4.
Glass half full….
As the UK government has shown consistently this year, there is always more than one way to perceive data. As I (Cookie) write this I look upon the site team with pride after GW3. We scored 48pts beating the average by a full 5pts and recorded our first green arrow of the season, jumping almost 500k places, no mean feat I’m sure you would agree. In a week where scores were low and in some cases quite unpredictable we have come through unscathed and in decent shape.
Some others on the committee may point fingers at our transfer policy which saw us sell hat-trick hero Vardy for that clown Jiménez who did at least score, just in the wrong net. Unfortunate I’d say.
Oh cr@p, here comes Init, he doesn’t look too happy, and he seems to be carrying a cosh and a hood…
Dwelling
Enough, enough, enough! Some things you can sugar coat, other times you just need to lie down in a dark room for a few days. With a gag on…
Here’s what really happened:
When you find yourself with two transfers to spare sometimes it just becomes too tempting to resist. Had we resisted last week and simply used the one we would have been a darn sight better off. 17 points better off in fact. But we didn’t… and so we aren’t. Not that we shall dwell on this at all.
As it was we scored 48, 5 above the average. Not 65. Not that we shall dwell on that. It meant a green arrow and a jump of over 400k places up to somewhere around the 2m mark. Had we have got those extra 17 points we’d have gone up over 1m. But we won’t dwell on it.
As for the team itself we tossed a coin between McCarthy and Ryan and landed on the right side of the former’s clean sheet.
At the back Trent got us an assist and some bonus points, the rest may as well have not bothered turning up.
In midfield Havertz came home with an assist. Bruno got all sorts, most of it being after the game had finished! New signing KdB got nothing, and our armband was wasted as a result.
Up top Wilson scored a late penalty, which wasn’t a penalty, even Steve Bruce said so! Mitrovic did very little and Jimenez literally did nothing. Which was a bit of a problem as we sold Vardy for him! Not that we are dwelling on it.
We move on quickly and see what insightful pearls of wisdom our committee can bring you this week…
Our GW3 Result…
Let’s go see what was decided…
Our GW4 Transfer(s)
As simple as it gets this, a nomination to sell Mitrović for DCL was followed by four quick nods.
We are buying the bang in-form centre forward of a near top of the table Everton and selling the one from bottom of the table Fulham. This probably isn’t rocket science, but going route one and not over complicating matters is sometimes as simple as it gets.
It isn’t that we expect Mitro to suddenly dry up completely, because if and when Fulham score he’s likely to be involved, but that if seems to be getting bigger all the time.
Whereas Everton will score and DCL will probably be involved, even when he doesn’t realise it.
To confirm then we have SOLD Mitrović and BOUGHT Calvert-Lewin
Captain – KdB
Again, this was fairly straightforward. Our panel seems to believe that Man City will make leaky Leeds even more leaky and that Kevin will most likely be the orchestrator.
Our GW4 team in full…
*Cookie is safe & well and we shall happily release him back into the wild. As soon as someone can find him…

Good luck to the FPL team for this week! Shame about Vardy but you guys still did better than the vast majority of people on this site, many of whom played their WC. Let’s hope KDB delivers for us tomorrow :biggun:
**FF247 team
Good luck site team, do the powers that be think Vinagre will be risked this weekend? As it looks very likely he is going to be sold.
We don’t expect he’ll play but at best / worst he either does or he doesn’t feature at all in which case Taylor gets a go at Newcastle.

Cookie disappears and so does Init, like a Saudi Arabian Prince…
Sorry, meant to announce this prior to Veer but I got a phone call! A genuine one, not a pantomime one.
An Arabian Prince? More like a member of the Taliban if you’ve got a cosh and a hood!!
seen reports that Mane has tested positive for covid. that’s 2 from the potential 1st IX now.
Hey hammers, was typing mine as did see your comment until the refresh. Looks to be true.
“Sadio Mane has tested positive for COVID-19 and is currently self-isolating according to the necessary guidelines.”
ok, quick poll as I cant decide.
Son replacement:
a) Harvey Barnes
b) James Rodriguez
c) Wilf Zaha
go…….
If you don’t have dcl B. If you don’t have vardy A. If you have both flip a coin.
Zara is a bit hot and cold for me.
ok, I have DCL, and I dont have Vardy, so going on your advice Gavy, looks like Harvey Barnes….lol
this.
thisswirly – are you implying I should go Harvey Barnes?
I’d go with B as he is involved in everything.
d) Keep and let your first sub come on if Son doesn’t play.
Cookie – Son isnt going to play!!!! lol
Cookie, then again, I have seen reports saying Mourinho hasnt completely ruled out his chances of recovering in time, so will will play him and have Doherty as first sub, and roll the FT and do my first gamble of the season…lol
I doubt he plays, but look at their fixtures after.
I’m trying to persuade my son to keep him.
thing is though, is it worth benching someone of his value when it’s a very low chance that he may play.
**just reading the latest updates, everything seems to imply that he won’t play
Just seen this on FB. but sure if its been posted. On the official page!
Hope he recovers fast
It’s a shame as he was playing well but atleast it’s the IB coming up.
Does this make Salah a more or less appealing cappo pick??
Less.
Now I am thinking to bring in Sterling for him to pair KDB with my WC.
Much more appealing for this week Banjo, Salah’s stats are hugely improved when Mane is not around.
Cheers cookie. I figured you’d have the stats to hand :yes:
He scored 8 goals and 4 assists in the 6 games Mane didn’t start, last season.
Alright rain man :laugh2: where do you get this from!
@FPL_Swe
They really are. One caveat to this is the opposition. Surrounding these stats though when Mane does not play
Wait and see if the whole team has been bedsing Mané – match may be postponed
Ha! Good point!!!
Perfect timing for the players not to be sent away with their international teams
