Welcome to FF247 Site Team GW4
GW3 – Triple Captain. Red Arrow. Obviously.
Despite playing our Triple Captain, we somehow still ended the week staring at a red arrow.
To be fair, Haaland did his part. 9 points wasn’t quite the monster haul we’d dreamed of when deploying the chip, but it’s also not the dreaded blank that can so easily accompany a Single Gameweek Triple Captain. Tripled to 27, we’ll take it.
The problem was, quite literally, everyone else.
Not a single return from the other ten players. Szoboszlai and Cherki scraped together a clean-sheet point apiece, Verbruggen chipped in with a save point, and that was about as exciting as it got. Our defence proudly served up a trio of two-pointers, while three yellow cards gave us the considerably less impressive achievement of a trio of one-pointers.
Ouch.
Just to rub it in, our two highest-scoring players outside of Haaland were Kinsky and Le Fée.
Naturally, both were sitting on our bench.
When it rains, it pours.
Still, it’s early days. Our 47 points came in below the Gameweek average, but only by four. And while the fall from 525,349 to 880,579 feels fairly brutal, we were only around seven points away from a green arrow.
The margins at this stage of the season are tiny. A return here, a yellow card avoided there, or perhaps actually fielding one of the players who scores some points, and the picture looks very different.
Two chips down. Two red arrows.
This aggressive strategy is going brilliantly.
Our Gameweek 3 Result

We have £0.4 in the bank and 2 free transfer to use ahead of GWXX. Let’s go see what was decided….
Our GW4 Transfer(s)
Last week we sold Mbeumo (8pts) to buy Cherki (3pts). You really could write the script on that one.
But have we learned anything? Not really. Well, maybe that a good fixture on paper doesn’t automatically mean the goalfest you’ve already decided it’ll be. And perhaps that just because a player hauled last week, there’s absolutely no guarantee they’ll do it again.
So, standard FPL thinking then.
But have we really learned anything? Clearly not.
The new lad has let us down and has been promptly shown the door. There are sound reasons behind the decision, of course. Pep may be gone, but it seems the new fella not only looks like him, he’s inherited his penchant for rotation too. Either it’s a touching homage to his predecessor, or City simply insist on buying every good midfielder available and the resulting rotation is too much hassle for us to bother with.
Either way, last week’s new boy becomes this week’s old boy.
Morgan Rogers comes in for Chelsea’s ‘plum home fixture’, with us — and seemingly every other FPL manager — hoping Hull choose this particular week to revert to the whipping boys we all assumed they’d be.
We all know how this ends.
We don’t have Palmer, and we don’t want to heap even more pressure on the aforementioned new boy, so João Pedro gets the armband.
Let’s hope he doesn’t let us down because, as we’ve demonstrated this week, our patience is very limited.
To confirm then we have SOLD Cherki and BOUGHT Rogers
Captain – João Pedro

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

We’ll pretend last week simply didn’t happen, the season starts here etc.

Nice to see the aggressive approach by the site team.
The line on last week’s new boy becoming this week’s old boy is pure gold.
All the best for the GW, site team

Hello all. Long time. How are things going?
Been missing the action for sometime now.
Cheers to all!!
AJW
Welcome back Constantine!

Hey AJW. All fine here sir.
Been busy with LIFE lately.
Team is doing fine. 45k currently. Early days I know.
On WC this week. Had to take care of 8-9 players, hence took that decision.
How’s your team doing?
Terminators
Hi Constantine
constantine
Hi Terminator. How are things?
Terminators
What are members thoughts on Ben Chilwell at Palace, thinking of bringing him in on my WC he will mostly be on the bench but will be rotated in from time to time.
Terminators
Maybe Mitchell is a better punt!
Shrivathsa
I do rate Mitchell, one of the best performers, came off the bench for me last GW to save my GW. Chilwell entry does complicate things as he could rotate with Mitchell, which is something to monitor
IvanTheTerrible
2 FT and 0.3 ITB
Seriously thinking to play the FH

LJY1985
Struggling here. What would you suggest? 0 transfers and just leave things as is?

You could do with a Chelsea mid ( Palmer or Rogers).Depends how much cash you have ? Don’t forget you will have to sell a City player aswell.
Terminators
How can you not have any transfers?
I think you need to WC to be honest, Haaland, Pedro, Cali and Tzolis are the only ones you need to keep, BrunoF could be a hold, but Utd’s fixtures have swung.
Reg83
Definitely get rid of ndiaye and foden.
Shrivathsa
Maybe swap Ndiaye out for Scott
Terminators
Going with this on my WC, I may still change my GK’s for one £5m I am not sure yet.
