FF247 FPL Team GW7
We go again…
In what was undoubtedly a quiet week all round we scored 43 points in total, which was further damned by the -4 points hit we took to bring in Ezri Konsa (and Mohamed Salah).
So in a week where the average score of 48 meant that anything like 60-70 points was somehow doubly good, we don’t have to concern ourselves with that. We just sit here and reflect that Salah had a goal ruled out for offside (correctly, we don’t pedal anti-VAR nonsense here) and had one off the post to grab us 4 points as Captain whilst Sadio Mane got 8 (which would have been 16!)
We’ve said it from the start… MANE IS MORE EXPLOSIVE! (Slight in-joke, but see last weeks article for reference).
The rest of the team then: the aforementioned Konsa conceded three and along with ‘defensive’ mates; Mat Ryan, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Tyrick Mitchell they scored 7 whole points between them.
Alex McCarthy of Southampton (who we’ve always said is more explosive than Mat Ryan), laughs at us with his 6 points.
Three clean sheets in midfield however – where you don’t really want them – as Saint-Maximin, Son and Bruno all kept out their opponents. Sonny Boy scored against Burnley on Monday and with 11 points accounted for over a quarter of our total points!
A welcome sight was Wolves 1-1 Newcastle on Sunday as in that game two of our strikers combined to provide an assist (Callum Wilson) and a goal and three bonus points (Raul Jimenez).
DCL managed just one point on a day that will surely not make it onto the highlights reel in the ‘Everton FC – Champions 2020/21’ DVD.
43 points then and a drop to 1,942,808 in the Overall Rankings. We go again.
Our GW6 result in full:
Let’s go see what was decided… other than drowning our sorrows.
Our Gameweek 7 Transfer(s)
We come to this gameweek with 1 Free Transfer and 0.7mln in the bank.
Unanimously, nothing. We voted to roll the transfer and review next week with 2FT’s to hand. Originally we had planned to ‘sort Max out’ (not in a Phil Mitchell way) but with The Champions Elect Everton looking a bit shaky and shorn of a few defensive assets he gets a one week pardon.
The main two – Salah and Son – unsurprisingly dominated the captain discussion. With 4 votes to one with one abstaining (or being too busy to vote, we’re not quite sure), the armband goes to *drumroll*
Son at home to Brighton! In the case something happens to the Korean, Salah picks up the duties with the VC.
To confirm then we have SAVED THIS WEEK’S TRANSFER
Captain – SON
Vice Captain – SALAH

Hiya folks, some defensive issues for me this week with Digne and Castagne ruled out. Already replaced Digne with Chilwell, but is it worth getting rid of Castagne for a hit? He’s back GW 9 at the earliest, when Leicester play away to Liverpool (though their three fixtures after that are very nice, but then again, people said that about their fixtures v Aston Villa and West Ham). I’m very tempted by West Ham (nice upcoming fixtures) and Coufal, who scored 11 pts vs Tottenham and City (two assists). If I don’t replace Castagne, Taylor (Burnley) or Mitchell (Palace) will have to come in.
Worth selling Castagne for a hit to Coufal or someone else? Or keep Castagne and play Taylor/Mitchell?
Thoughts appreciated!
I don’t think I’d do it for a hit. Hold fire and maybe consider Cresswell from next week.
Cheers banjo. I guess not taking a hit and waiting a week is the more sensible option
I see the GK has been changed in the site team. That’s what I would have gone for, hopefully it works out well.
Yeah, it was an oversight on my part, should have been the other way round in the first place.
I was keeping everyone going there Init!
(spoilsport) :mosking:
Sorry to keep spamming you all. This is my last request for help this week, I promise!! Which of these is better?
1) Castagne to Zouma
2) Castagne & Podence to Chilwell & a 4.5 mid (Mendy?) for a hit
I don’t expect the hit to pay itself back this week, but I’m wondering whether it’s worth it in the long run. Although I am concerned that I kinda need Podence this week due to Hamez’s poorly bollock?! ie Mendy (or whomever) will have to play.
Thank you!
1, I don’t think the hit is justified there.
+1
Kilman or Targett to replace Mitchell?
Do you have to replace Mitchell? It seems Kilman’s spot is his to lose now, so I’d lean towards him. But at that price he’s never gonna be guaranteed!
Afternoon
Thinking of ditching Rodríguez, which do you prefer?
A. Foden
B. Ziyech
C. Maddison
D. Grealish
A or B for me
Zaha could also be an option.
Of the four options B or D for me
Going to hold on to Rodriguez as I’m already on a -4 this week and FPL site says he’ll be back next GW
Who should replace him from my bench: Mitchell or Anguissa? I doubt Palace will keep a clean sheet away at wolves and a good chance of them conceding 2 which would leave Mitchell with only one point. Anguissa on the other hand has only got one assist this season but WBA at home seems as good a fixture as he can get
Anguissa for me (Mitchell is flagged as well)
