FF247 Site Team Game-week 7 FPL Tips
Welcome to the FF247 Site Team Game-week 7 FPL Tips article. Can we wildcard every week? Playing our wildcard last week certainly had the desired short-term effect, hopefully it also pays dividends over the coming game-weeks! We picked up 67pts which was 22pts above the average and this saw us jump back up from a rank of 262,127 to 91,692. The standout performers were undoubtedly Sergio Aguero, whom we had captained, and Alexis Sanchez. Elsewhere we had contributions from Petr Cech, Raheem Sterling and Marcus Rashford. Having brought Etienne Capoue in on our wildcard and more significantly as our 4th midfielder he blanked for just the 2nd time this season. We were not impressed. Yet again we were trolled by Romelu Lukaku. The Belgian had picked up 29pts over the previous two game-weeks but just like Capoue he picked up a whopping 2pts. Our defence let us down but between them they have some decent fixtures over the coming weeks so we should see some returns. Hopefully! On the whole we are happy with how things panned out and we move on with great expectations.

Just a bit of housekeeping before we continue. We know many people log in to check on Cookie’s team news article on a Friday. You may need to check this out! Around the Grounds GW7 update – Twins Special! We will be posting updates from the press conferences on the comments section in that one throughout the day.
TRANSFER DECISION THIS WEEK
Having just played our wildcard we have perhaps unsurprisingly decided not to make a transfer this week. The only potential transfer we discussed was the possibility of bringing in an Arsenal defender and doubling up ahead of a run of four enticing fixtures. However we were £0.1 short of bringing in either Nacho Monreal or Shkodran Mustafi for Kyle Walker. To be honest not being in a position to make the transfer may turn out to be a bonus as after all Spurs do have the league’s best defence. By not making a transfer this week we will now be in a position where we have 2 FT’s following the international break which is always advantageous.

THE TEAM IN FULL FOR GW7 –
[divider_1px_dashed]
Our captain is Alexis Sanchez and our vice-captain is Sergio Aguero
With three votes Alexis Sanchez was the democratic choice this week. There was a vote for Lukaku but there are suspicions that someone was just trying to be difficult! There was also a ‘late’ vote for Rashford. Given not only his own personal form but also Arsenal’s recent form too it was difficult to look past the Chilean this week. Leading the line with great aplomb and with the likes of Walcott, Ozil & Iwobi all coming into form we see him having plenty of opportunities on Sunday afternoon. It might surprise some of you to hear that a certain Sergio Aguero did not get a single vote this week but it was perhaps felt that as he faces the league’s best defence that this may be the week to overlook him for the armband. This decision could of course leave us with egg on our faces!

Sanchez out in front for captain choice on the poll. Hmm I have it on Zlatan
Zlatan also for me Smash.
Hattrick would be great. :ok:
Have you seen United yesterday? Were they in second gear? Just a 1-0 win over ummm the number four of Ukraine at home. I expected more goals and it was not as if they fielded a B-team either. So? Wise or not?
They looked ok. I guess if premier league Zlats would have got 9 points. I would have liked him to be rested. I am tempted by Lukaku but being the early game and he’s hardly reliable. Who you going with Raz?
Indeed, they play really bad Raz.
It all between Sanchez (I don’t have him yet), Kun and Zlatan this week. Payet could be a decent pick, but Westham is not in form yet.
United really are unpredictable. But I hope Zlatan will punish his doubters, this is why I have it on him.
how about a brace from zlatan and rashford each?????????
Smash, I currently have it on Zlatan but considering Sanchez now. Zlatan played 90 minutes yesterday so I feel as though he will be a bit tired. Sanchez on the other hand will have an extra day’s rest. Hmm.. tough choice.
Sanchez is in really good form. Just Burnley never leak many goals is what’s putting me off.
Brought Cathart in to replace Shaw, one day later he’s red flagged. Nice to start this GW.
I have bench issue need to fix.
Good luck all…
Why Cathart when there is Holebas? Although, Holebas is on 4 yellows, you could only have him for 1 game. Haha. 😉
Holebas is very attack minded though and on set pieces. For me, he’s a must.
I want Holebas but he’s on 4 yellow and Cathart would be safest pick
I thought it was tactical when Cathart subbed off last week.
I wanted Holebas last week but I’m stuck with bloody Britos. Damm Walker and Antonio not rising last week
Britos has a chance to play, late fitness test.
Big chance for CS againts BOU smash.
Hard one. Last week I had Baines playing but because he was out I got umm SMith versus Everton, never expected him to get a CS.
Any thoughts on this weeks team? Good to go? Have one free Transfer, but was going to hold on to it.
Heaton
Morgan Williams McAuley
Hazard Carorla Sterling Coutinho Capoue
Aguero (c) Ibra
Jak Diomande Friend Amat
G
I would hold that transfer mate. You look set.
Thanks GP. Much Appreciated!
You’re good to go G-spot
Gonna be very usefull to have 2FT after the IB.
Ichalviking Thank you for your reply. That’s what I was thinking.
Smash, I currently have it on Zlatan but considering Sanchez now. Zlatan played 90 minutes yesterday so I feel as though he will be a bit tired. Sanchez on the other hand will have an extra day’s rest. Hmm.. tough choice.
How’s this looking then people?
Any advice on lineup is appreciated.
Cheers
GP, I’d play Pickford as Mandanda clashes with Luk. Rest looks good. I’ve gone wit Kolarov for City defensive cover. Pep seems to like him and City have great fixtures ahead. We might see a few CSs too.
That’s not a bad point Constantine. I don’t fancy Pickford much either to be honest but a good night for Lukaku probably means a bad one for Mandanda.
Thanks.
cheers GP..I believe this week’s make or break decision would only be that who we chose our captains. Majority of teams look similar.
Looks good to go GP. I’d play Pickford West Brom don’t score many away from home and Moyes will be paranoid at getting beat
Well said constantine, Lukaku will more than likely score at least once.
Capoue set to get a goal GP. 😉
Hopefully! But less likely!
Oh I didn’t even notice he benched Capoue. That is a big mistake hahah
New Rule of FPL this season.
Never Bench Capoue.
He’s gone with Pereyra, who looks much firmer and trustworthy option than Capoue.
You are benching Capoue, GP??
I know Capoue is on the bench. *cries*
What do you recommend I do then chaps?
Thanks.
Alright so here’s my team for GW7. I am still deciding between Ibra & Alexis for captain. It’s a tough decision, but Stoke have conceded 15 goals so far, whilst Burnley only 8.
Hopefully I’ll keep ranking up. Currently 49th overall.
Good luck everyone! :beer:
Great team Ruben,
Double Arsenal and Liverpool Mid for great fixtures ahead.
Ibra against Stoke… Means hattrick…
Ichal ~ Cheers! Yes definitely a good idea to double up on those right now.
Hopefully! Ibra is due a hattrick.
Ruben..Have to say, you’ve got some guts going w/o Kun. Rest of the team looks ready to score.All the best for this week.
Constantine ~ Haha, trust me I really want him in my team, but I’m not interested in taking multiple hits to get him in right now. Especially with Spurs coming up. 😉 thanks man, that’s what I’m hoping they’ll do.
Go Ruben! Keep it up matey.
You have a great rank there Ruben but in the lg run you need to spread the love although the Pool &!Ars have great fixtures coming up lets see if we can all catch you up well done mate 😉
Silvers ~ Thankyou. I switch my mids often, so don’t worry about that. Will definitely spread it out eventually. 😉 good luck to you!
Why are you not in our league? Like any of them :rant: Boo Ruben
Init ~ Haha, sorry man! I didn’t manage to join them before the season began & my points won’t count if I join now.
Of course they will. That’s why we shut the main one around Christmas as you just get trolls joining leagues with prizes attached if they’re finding themselves doing well.
Get joined!
Init ~ OH THEY DO?!? I’M JOINING RIGHT AWAY… WAIT WHAT ARE THE LEAGUE CODES?
https://fantasyfootball247.co.uk/league-codes-intro/
Or they’re end of every article
Thankyou init! I joined the classic league.
Keep it up Ruben!!
Thx Mitro! You too!!
Ruben, its very reassuring when someone at your rank is capping Ibra like myself. Was having some doubts and was thinking of capping Sanchez instead. Will you make a last minute captain switch? Your mids are awesome. Only fault is Aguero not in there but other than that great team!
Eagle ~ I know, I’m praying to God that Kun takes a break this weekend.
I am sticking with Ibra! I trust my gut, and it’s saying this is the correct decision this week.
I banked against Kun last week and it came back to bite me, I’d try and get him in sooner rather than later.
specialK ~ yeah, but Ibra has Stoke this weekend & if I’m getting Kun, it’s going to be through selling Ibra. Next week it’s happening!
go for it, hope it all works out and you have a great GW.
Best of luck to you specialK!
Unbelievable team. I could see you getting 60 points easy this week.
Nice to see the Leeds badge Rids not many of us about 😉
Thankfully…….!! 😉
Rids – Thanks! I just hope these players keep their form for a couple more weeks
