FF247 Site Team News GW7
Icy cold
Welcome to FF247 Site Team GW7
In FPL a fixture swing can sometimes be an opportunity, more often than not though, it serves only to cloud our judgment.
In my own team
I diligently played my wildcard in GW6 because you know, fixtures and that. I looked at my side with its Arsenal Tripple up, Mbuemo and all the other likely lads and thought ‘yup, this is the week I turn things around. When we reviewed the site team I shuddered, we weren’t playing our wildcard and our 11 looked sub-optimal at best.
Little did I know that the site team would end up beating my own by some 34pts, thanks in no small part to our patience with a certain Cole Palmer. If only we’d captained him. Dammit. But let’s not be greedy, whilst our captain (Haaland) did blank, elsewhere we had enough to see us over the line and halve our rank from 2.8 million up to the heady heights of 1.4 million.
So, we may not have the perfect Arsenal triple-up (and spoiler but that’s not about to change this week either), we may not have flavours of the month Like Rogers or Solanke, but what we do have is a smattering of tried and tested assets. In Watkins, Gvardiol, Mbeumo and of course Palmer, we feel we have a side that is more than capable of challenging the ‘template’, furthermore, we haven’t even discussed when we’ll be playing our wildcard. We’re just so damn chill.
So, once more I’m reminded that the grass is not always greener. Sometimes you need to step away from all the noise, smell the roses, enjoy your own garden and hope the cat from down the street hasn’t decided it’s the perfect dumping ground (literally).
Our Gameweek 6 Result

We have £0 in the bank and 1 free transfer to use ahead of GW7. Let’s go see what was decided….
Our GW7 Transfer(s)
With empty coffers and just a solitary transfer, it won’t take a genius to work out what we decided to do this week. A unanimous vote to roll and go with what we have was swiftly dealt.
The big man takes the armband because whilst he may have malfunctioned up and St James, there’s every chance big Dan Burn has now emptied his pockets and the robot will be looking to exterminate the Cottagers up at the Etihad this Saturday. Cold takes the vice just in case we need him.
To confirm then we have rolled our transfer
Captain – Haaland

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

Need to do something about Eze got 2fts and only 0.1 in the Bank.
Any ideas would be very much appreciated
Click on image to enlarge:
Eze and Wood to Havertz and Carvalho, or Eze and Pedro to Solanke and Carvalho might work. To be honest not sure on Carvalho, but he’s cheap and allows access to Ars/Spurs. Or Eze to Johnson, Kulu or McNeil.
Or Eze to Trossard / Martinelli for the short term, but may be a problem in a few weeks.
Thanks Stone Frog, great tips.
Gonna look into them
Salah > Diaz
Eza > Martinelli

ITB 0.5m
Can I get away with rolling the FT? Would like to get Palmer in, but only way is to ditch Salah.
International break could always lead to a few injuries, and thinking having a couple of transfers afterwards is always a good idea.
Thoughts please ladies and gents.

I’d roll the FT.
Your team is still nice and it’s not like salah can’t score 1 or 2.
Don’t see plamer getting back to back 4 goal. And the IBs are always messy
Cheers Gavy
Hoping Palmer doesnt (didnt they say similar about Haaland and his hat-tricks!!)
Yes, IB’s are messy, hence wanting to roll with it – lol
+1, that is what I keep telling myself, Palmer cannot keep hauling like this, so hopefully he has a quiet game of one assist, most of my mini league have him
I would hold for now, but if you want Palmer he’s well in form now and at home again, if you are planning to get him at some point, why not now?
I don’t really worry about the breaks, if you have a top player unless they are out for a while you are not going to transfer them out, 1FT is enough imo.
Do I need to do anything here? I have 1FT with 0.1 spare. Or worth just rolling this week?

If in doubt, roll
+1
+1
Roll the FT.
I would play Faes over Mazraoui though.
2 FT. I can’t get Palmer in easily so think I’ll just wait until after the international break. Jota to Mbeumo?

I’m be tempted to roll. 3 FT gives you loads of options over the IB.
Would you want to do Saka to Palmer?
Both could do well this week so it’s anyone’s guess
There’s no way I’d sell Saka this week. Palmer has a tough run of fixtures coming up too.
I agree, but Palmer is scoring and a key player for Chelsea, where Saka isn’t really scoring and there are better and cheaper options for Arsenal attackers that are scoring more frequently than Saka.
Which one of these would you start?
1) DCL – NEW (H)
2) Lewis – FUL (H)
3) Rogers – MUN (H)
A
C – Rogers, could get an assist, especially against this Man United
I would say Rogers as he just has more potential for points.
Issue with Lewis is will he get start and then get enough minutes.
DCL has to score a goal for you to get a return, the others have more chances and options for points.
Toying with a WC which I can do on the exact money. Is it worth playing ahead of this GW or activating over the IB?
Click on image to enlarge:
Should also say I have 1FT this week that could be used if I save the WC. Possibly for Henderson > Flekken
I’d keep that for over the IB. Not enough notable difference or gain there from doing it this week.
+1
That was my thought too. Worth changing Henderson to Flekken with the FT?
Yea probably. That or ESR to Rogers.
If you want to WC then do it, don’t worry about the international break, that is what your bench is for, (example) if Palmer gets a knock and misses the next Chelsea game you are not going to transfer him out.
