FF247 Site Team News GW5
Welcome to FF247 Site Team GW5
Our Gameweek 4 Result
Soooo…. do you want the good news or the bad news first?
Well, the good news is that we didn’t leave many points on the bench – 1 between them. And that’s the end of the good news.
The bad news is that just two of our players contributed 39 of of our miserly 54 points. Or 72.2%. The other 9 got 15, Palmer with 3 being the top scorer out of those. In fact 4 of them got just the 1, the other 4 doubled that. Pathetic.
On a more even note it seems to have been a similarly poor week for the majority. We only know this because despite us being just 3 above the average of 51, we somehow still got a green arrow! A small one, but after that sh*t show we’d have taken a sizeable red one on the chin and still moved on as if nothing had happened. We jumped up 150k to 2,031,489. Super.
Swiftly onto GW5…
We have £1.0m in the bank and 2 free transfers to use ahead of GW5. Let’s go see what was decided..
With Muniz seemingly losing his spot to a revitalised Jimenez, the main question this week was whether to bench him and play a 4-4-2 or simply ditch him. The vote went 5-0 in favour of giving him the boot.
In terms of a replacement we were restricted to £7m, unless we made another move. Turns out that that mid-price striker bracket is actually pretty stacked. We put up Vardy, Wood, DCL, Pedro, Welbeck, Raul himself and even Larsen. To our surprise it was closer than expected. More to our surprise was that Wood actually came 2nd with 2 votes. Dominic Calvert-Lewin just nipped it with 3. And that despite being out mid-week with an ‘illness’.
Our GW5 Transfer(s)
To confirm then we have SOLD Muniz and BOUGHT Dominic Calvert-Lewin
Captain – Watkins
Fairly unanimous this, with Oliie winning 4 votes to 1. Haaland gets the VC, just in case.

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

Hmm Site Team- I see you’re slowly building up your quota of Everton players. Is this some subtle trick to try and please Init??? I’m not sure about him being terribly impressed by it. (Was he the one who voted against DCL?) .
Anyway, good to see you went up by a sizeable amount of points! Cheers.
I voted for him, tbf. It was him or Vardy for me. See how he goes for two games, and then perhaps he can become Vardy after the Arsenal game. Other one is a defender and I certainly wouldn’t have him but he snook in there pre-season. DCL could have had 5 vs Villa so at least we know the chances are there and coming. Plus he’s on pens. And Ndiaye has a dive in him! Great player that lad btw, seen him twice in the flesh recently and he’s lightning quick on the turn, apropos nothing.
Fair enough Init. Have fond memories of having him a couple of seasons ago when they were on a mid season run. Unfortunately I held him way too long!
Welp ain’t no party like a Vardy party! Or at least that’s how I hope it goes this weekend. Perhaps those 2 fellas from Liverpool and MC will celebrate too. Good luck folks,
After arsenal he has some run.
I have Welbeck now. Itching to ship him for Vardy.
Morning
Current team for GW5, was planning to roll my FT.
Good to go?

Looks good, all the best for the GW
Faes 1st on the bench for me.
The rest is g2g
This. Rest is gtg
Should I do Welbeck to vardy?
Have the ft. Or wait til after the arsenal?
Everton have let in 14 goals
Feels a bit sideways but Vardy does have the fixtures to be fair.
Cheers Matt.
Maybe I’ll hold off until after arsenals game.
Then catch the big fixture swing
Morning everyone,
Salah or Watkins captain?

Go for Salah (…who I wish I had!). Looks good!
Thank you, my bench is a mess though x
Hi fellas. I have both Wellbeck and Pedro and 0.2m in bank.
I can do either to DCL or neither.
If I do transfer, which one?
Taking out either could cost you. I would move off one of them but maybe not this week.
Who would be your first sub if JP doesn’t play?
Rogers
I’d roll I think.
