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…

Morning guys, this is me for this week. Look OK?
Very nice Carolyn
Looks good! I’d put Delap as #1 on bench just in case he’s called upon (I can’t see Mitchell doing much against EVE…famous last words).
Likewise. But that’s the only change I’d make, good to go otherwise!
Morning gents,
Am I good to go?
I have a FT in case.
G2G
Looks fine. If you really wanted, you could do Werner to Ings. But I’d keep it as it is and save the transfer to have 2FTs for the international break.
Hey Atlas,
Thought about it a lot with Werner not delivering. But he’s too good not to deliver…surely.
I’ve still got Werner too – he needs a bit of time, but he’ll get there
. This week is the week the scores – surely!! :rabbi:
Looking good – nice to have Justin waiting in the wings in case Podence doesn’t play.
Theswirly
Wasn’t sure which one to play but attacking options generally get the vote!
hey guys,
Got 1FT 0.5 ITB.
I don’t have any real concerns right now, sticking w Werner and Havertz(for now)
What should I do w Dier? I really like Lamptey and would probably get him for his good run of games next week onwards, but Dier himself plays United this gw.
Should I make the move now or bank the transfer?
Might as well go for it mate
Save the transfer. Dier might surprise you
.
I’d make the transfer, personally.
Good to see a consensus :p
I’m 50-50 atm, and seems like it’s dividing opinion here too. Leaning towards making the transfer I think
Kunal – which do you see more likely to start for you and get you more points?
That’s the thing mate, I don’t think either of them keep a CS, maybe Lamptey gets an assist but yeah.
Lamptey looks good to be in the team for the next few weeks, it’s just about getting him now, or banking 2FTs to go in the international break
Good to go? I’ve 1ft and 1 mil in bank
I would be tempted with mitro to dcl
0.1 short :dash:
I’d either play ASM and hope he does play, then benching Mitchell, or use your transfer to change Egan or ASM.
Start Saint-Maximin over Mitchell – he should feature this weekend. Everything else fine.
Thanks
Good Morning all,
Due to the Mane debacle I’m somewhat belatedly considering the WC.
What do you guys think?
Team 1 is my current team on a -8
Team 2 is my draft WC
Thanks
Team 2
Treacle, if you get Ings instead of Vardy you can upgrade VVD to TAA and have a spare 1.0 to do something with Burke or Mendy.
Or a spare 1.5 if you put in Robertson instead.
I’m actually managed to fit in Robbo and keep Vardy.
I’ve had Vardy since gw1 and he has saved my gw twice. I realise his points are mostly pens but they seem to be in plentiful supply this season!
Pereira’s back in training so Justin won’t have his place for much longer.
Are you suggesting putting Pereira in now?
With Mane out. Isn’t Sarah way more interesting as campo?
Yes
. The stats (a few pages back – one of Cookie’s posts) suggest that Salah does better when Mané isn’t playing.
