FF247 Site Team News GW2
Welcome to FF247 Site Team GW2
It wasn’t exactly a Bench Boost for the ages, but when only three quarters of said bench actually turned up, we were up against it from the start.
Our captain blanked, but then so did pretty much everyone else’s, so we’ll call that a draw. Five returns from ten outfield players and, looking at some of the carnage elsewhere, we count ourselves fortunate.
João Pedro’s 11 points did most of the heavy lifting, with Calafiori’s 9 and Szoboszlai’s 8 doing their bit to drag us towards respectability. Meanwhile, our supposedly boosted bench contributed a magnificent 10 points between four players — six of those from the goalkeeper and one of them not even making it onto the pitch. Money well spent.
All in all, not the worst start, but certainly a long way from the best.
We vowed to be more aggressive this season, hence throwing the Bench Boost down in GW1. We’ll let you know how that strategy worked out in another 37 weeks…
A Gameweek and Overall Rank of just over 2 million means things can only get better. But this isn’t our first rodeo, so don’t hold your breath.
Our Gameweek 1 Result
GW1
We have £0 in the bank and 1 free transfer to use ahead of GW2. Let’s go see what was decided….
Our GW2 Transfer(s)
As for GW2, we’re going to stick a pin in that aggressive approach and circle back to it at some unspecified point in the future.
No transfers. Same bench. Same captain.
Because if doing exactly the same thing and expecting a different result isn’t sound FPL strategy, we don’t know what is.
Let’s see how a little gambler’s fallacy plays out.
To confirm then, we rolled our transfer

PREDICTED LINE-UPS
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

Mid-priced myself
Its a weird feeling. After thinking hours and hours the GW1 draft, this week has been just waiting for the next match for me. Without Haaland, the only point is to have a plan to take him in the squad before GW3, before possible price rise. And that probably won’t happen tonight. Absolutely weird feeling, weird week.
