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

Both leagues will be shut to new entrants as of 01/01/25.
