FF247 Site Team News Gameweek 6
Robot Rock
Welcome to FF247 Site Team News Gameweek 6
The season started with promise, but those early green arrows feel like a distant memory now. We’ve hit a bump — no, a wall — with only three of our starting XI returning points this week: Salah (5), Kudus (7), and Ndiaye (6). The rest? Forgettable. Painfully forgettable.
We limped to 39pts. In isolation, not the worst score out there (some of the screenshots doing the rounds on social media were far uglier), but it was enough to hand us a second consecutive red arrow. Our rank nosedived from 6,712,089 to 6,871,311 — our lowest point of the season so far. Surely, it can only get better. Surely.
Our Gameweek 5 Result

We have £4.2m in the bank and 2 free transfer to use ahead of GW6. Let’s go see what was decided….
Our GW6 Transfer(s)
With over £4m in the bank and two free transfers at our disposal, we couldn’t sit still. The whole FPL world was moving for Haaland ahead of his home tie against Burnley, and we weren’t about to get left behind.
While managers everywhere are burning chips, we’re holding firm. Wildcards, Free Hits, hits galore — they’re all being deployed, but with all our chips intact, we were more than comfortable making early moves.
The casualties? Villa’s Watkins and Rogers. They promised plenty but delivered nothing: not a single attacking return in five games. Harsh? Maybe. Justified? Definitely. Their stay of execution is finally over.
In comes Erling Haaland — no explanation needed — secured before his price rise. That left £5.8m for a new midfielder, and after a tidy 9-point showing in GW5, Tijjani Reijnders fit the bill. Decent form, favourable fixture. Low risk, decent reward.
The armband lands on the new signing himself. And yes, there’s every chance we push the button and go all in with the Triple Captain. Temptation levels: very high.
Looking Ahead
The strategy is clear: ride Haaland, hope Burnley suffer, and claw back some lost ground. If the robot does what the robot does, we’re back on track.
Elsewhere, Salah’s form is a concern but he remains a set-and-forget option until further notice. Kudus and Ndiaye keep their places after respectable hauls, while Reijnders gets his chance to prove GW5 wasn’t a one-off.
Defensively… well, we’ll look the other way for now. More pressing matters are up front.
It’s backs against the wall, but that’s FPL. The slump has to end somewhere. And if Haaland’s holding the armband — maybe even the triple — this is as good a place as any.
To confirm then we have SOLD Watkins and Rogers and BOUGHT Haaland and Reijnders
Captain – Haaland

Back by popular demand! Well, sort of… Drafthound have changed their line-up approach this season and what it means for us is that we are no longer able to display a live feed of it on here due to some technical difficulties. That said, what they have done looks great and is still only a click away so if you want to access those they are HERE

Triple Captain anyone…?
AJW

Cheerio and thanks for the article Init!
ODT
Triple Cap vote for me.
IvanTheTerrible
The question now is: Will he start or just get a part time in the second have with City upcoming away game vs Monaco on Wednesday

I am all for it, if he scores 10+ it’s very worth it. He can do that in 60 mins then be taken off.

He should definitely start. He didn’t play in EFL cup and man city had a poor start in premier league. Should play atleast 70-80 mins

Afternoon all
Anything else you would do here?

Gavy
Not much needed here.
Don’t see CP keeping a CS, are you hoping for attacking returns.
Terminators
Looks good, shame to have Kudos on the bench but I cannot see who to swap him with.
bees393
Is this my best lineup/bench order?
Have 1FT .1mib but think I should roll it?

Zack_353
Similar to mine, are you on WC next week?
bees393
Don’t think so. Will have two transfers and could take a hit if necessary. Will bring in ARS defenders.
Reg83
I ve sold ekitike and gone for a 1 week punt on Richarlison and then likely to buy gykoeres.. if u dont want to keep mateta gs Liverpool.
bees393
Don’t know why but for now I prefer to have Salah instead of Gyokores.
May change my mind later.
Terminators
looks fine.

I think I play Cucurella but I don’t know who to tell you to bench.
hammerfan_lm
Can I bench my goalie lol
AJW
Far out HF, you’re a regular squirrel, hoarding those trades like nuts!
Good team – pity you didn’t keep Jarod!
Best of luck sqire!
AJW
Squire, sorry!
Terminators
I would bench Konsa tbh
hammerfan_lm
AJW – Cheers mate. I am keeping the transfers as a few players need to go, plus I would love to get Isak in when I know he will fully play.
Reg83
Any reason keeping so many transfers? U could change ur gk or sell Salah and have a balanced team.. or improve ur forwards
hammerfan_lm
Reg, to get Isak and to sort out players I don’t like – Barry, Baleba and maybe one or both goalies
Will reassess once the international break has happened unless something happens in the meantime
IvanTheTerrible
Stay with KDH vs WHU or play Neto vs Brighton instead?

chelseachick_uk
Coin toss for me. I’m not overly enamoured with Neto at the mo. Think of stick as you are.
IvanTheTerrible
Thanks CC, think that is the best arrangement.
Terminators
I agree, Brighton will be more of a challenge.
bees393
Gtg as is Ivan.
