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!

Special
Clyne to Lovren and Heaton to Lloris?
Brookyboy
Or Valencia to Koscielny…
Brookyboy
And ditch Fer in my opinion !
specialK
Fer is just backup really, who would you be looking to move him out for?
Brookyboy
I’d try and sneak snodgrass in there or a cheapie.
specialK
Good spot there GP with Clyne to Heaton!
I like a premium keeper but just not sure, Heaton is a great stopper too… lots save points and BPS.
The Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
With Fer downgraded if necessary.
specialK
No one likes Fer?
The Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Too much for the bench if you are using Capoue.
specialK
I get you now GP and Brooky.
I may just keep Barry then.
Like this, better?
The Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Where’s Lloris??
Better in my eyes mate.
Good luck. :thumbup:
RITZ

smithy
Haha cheers, not too sure, really wanted Walcott but have to weaken defence too much to get him in.
Mitro
Get him in mate
The Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
He isn’t needed.
That is a very strong midfield and Sanchez is there.
You’re fine.
Mitro
