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…

2FT need to get some pool cover in best option is in defence to upgrade saiss or gabriel but means downgrading Auba or KDB, Suggestions or even other transfer that could be done.
Rogueblood – two reasons not to get Liverpool cover this week. Firstly with Covid sweeping through the camp, who will get it next?
Secondly you don’t need their defensive cover this week.
Suggestions – Werner to Jimenez and bank the cash and carry 2fts over the international break.
After that look at Auba to Son and Pulisic and you can then get anyone Liverpool bod you want.
Thanks Cookie, I appreciate it.
I prefer using Jimenez ahead of KDB as my captain because of their fixtures
I won’t, Jimenez usually does well against tough opponents and not so well against easier opponents, I’m expecting a goal perhaps but definitely KDB’s ceiling is a lot higher this week, I mean City against Leeds they might score 4-5 goals
Morning guys! Am I good to go? Bench order ok?
Was tempted by a Werner/Wilson & Saka to DCL & Mendy/ Greenwood for a -4 but decided to hold for this week!
Cheers
Would you play Justin over Taylor?
I’d play Justin
+1
Morning all.
Here is my current team, 1ft and ..7 in the bank, Thinking need to get rid of Doherty who is losing value quickly, Castogne seems like a good option but not sure in double up of Leicester defence Any thoughts advice would be appreciated. Cheers
Think ur ok for this week, better to have 2ft is in the bank for after IB. You can consider Doherty move then. I would look to move ASM out. This week if Vinagre doesn’t start you have Doherty as cover.
Thanks Gaz93
yes i was debating that . my biggest concern was the money that doherty has already lost and continuing to lose
Good to go? Should I double up with Castagne and Justin or leave James in? Thanks all.
I would say leave James, he’s been a real attacking threat down the wings. The problem with doubling up is all it takes is 1 goal to kill your 2 cs. Might be a risk averse way to look at it but that’s me!
Thanks Gaz.
I think Justin might only have one week left. Maybe two max 3. Pereira is now training
Hey Smash. Thanks for the heads up. I’ll probably switch him out to Lamptey down the line.
I did not know this. Cheers.
Morning all,
This is how I’m currently set up. Should I take a -4 to bring Jiménez in for Wilson?
I would say hold Kop, Wolves seem to struggle against easier teams and Jimi may get 1 but that’s it. Not worth a -4 imo
Think I wouldn’t to be honest, although I think it depends on your future transfers, if it’s a move that you’d want to make anyway next week or in the near future and there are most likely other transfers you’re looking to make in the near future as well then might as well take the hit as a long-term move now that Jimenez has a delicious fixture, although Wilson could do well against Burnley as well…
Jimi does have decent fixtures coming up, are you planning to bring him next GW?
Think I’d be leaning towards it. Even more so if you don’t plan on using your wildcard
Cheers lads. I’m leaning towards taking the hit as I like Wolves’ fixtures of the coming GW’s. If I don’t take the hit this week my concern is the IB will throw a spanner into the works and I may end up missing out on Jiménez.
