Welcome to FF247 Site Team GW3

Even without a certain absent Chelsea forward — and with four of our front seven drawing blanks — the team managed to grind out a respectable score. The defence did most of the heavy lifting: Murillo was the lone weak link, while the rest of the backline held firm with clean sheets. Porro, stepping in for the injured Palmer, proved a timely substitute.

In midfield, Rogers and Anderson chipped in, Ndiaye kept things ticking, and captain Salah came through with a late, late assist to salvage some pride. Up front, Watkins and Bowen couldn’t find the net, but the damage was limited.
We wrapped up the week on 49 points — just shy of the 51 average — but it was still enough to climb, with a green arrow from 6.64m to 5.81m overall.

We have £0.0 in the bank and 2 free transfer to use ahead of GW3. Let’s go see what was decided….

Our GW3 Transfer(s)

The newly streamlined management team might be smaller, but decisions are being made faster. With João Pedro’s price set to rise on Monday night, there was no hesitation. At 55.6% ownership and climbing — the most-owned player in the game — he felt too risky to ignore.

We pulled the trigger early, bringing in the Brazilian, Bowen makes way following his two blanks. With 2 free transfers in hand, we’ve still got room to manoeuvre. Our thinking earlier in the week was that if Palmer is ruled out, the flexibility is there to act. For now, the focus is on momentum, not damage control.

With the news Palmer is not in the England Squad we’ve made the assumption he’ll miss this weekend’s game. The vote was cast for his replacement, Kudos came out on top. Spurs look rejuvinated this season, a home game against the Cherries looks promising and we’re hoping the Ghanaian can add to the 10pts he notched against Burnley in GW1.

It’s a tricky one for captaincy this week, we could play it safe with Salah, but in truth he’s not looked that great and Arsenal isn’t exactly an easy option. In the end we’ve opted for the in-form Pedro, it’s hard to ignore those 15pts. Fulham at home looks a tasty fixture, and despite it being the first fixture of the game week, we’re giving a middle finger to Gandhi (if you know you know) an hoping he’ll have a repeat performance.

To confirm then we have SOLD Bowen and Palmer and BOUGHT Pedro and Kudos
