FF247 Site Team News GW8
Welcome to FF247 Site Team GW8
After a disappointing GW6, we’re pleased to report that GW7 was a much better week for the FF247 Site Team!
We finished on a very respectable 78 points, comfortably beating the weekly average of 59 by 19 points. That gave us a GW rank of 859,796 and hopefully signals a return to form after a few frustrating weeks.
Unsurprisingly, the main man was Erling Haaland, who delivered a fantastic 26 points as captain. Calvert-Lewin also chipped in with a very welcome 9 points, while our defence certainly did its job. Konsa returned 9 points, with Calafiori and Kadioglu both contributing 6 points apiece. Verbruggen also added another 6 points between the sticks.
Elsewhere, Groß contributed 5 points, while Saka and Rogers were relatively quiet with 3 and 2 points respectively. João Pedro also disappointed with just 2 points, although thankfully Haaland more than made up for that!
We also had 4 points from Le Fée sitting on the bench, but we’re certainly not complaining after a 78 point return.
Our Gameweek 7 Result
We have £1.6m in the bank and 2 free transfers to use ahead of GW8. Let’s go see what was decided….
Our GW8 Transfer(s)
After using two transfers ahead of GW7, we’ve decided to keep our powder dry this week.
With Liverpool’s defence being very iffy and Spurs being poor, we talked about trusting the players we have to do well. On paper it might not look pretty but hopefully it works out. After a strong overall performance last weekend, we felt there was no need to force a transfer simply for the sake of making one.
Rolling gives us another free transfer to play with next week and a little more flexibility should injuries, suspensions or changes in form force our hand.
It’s not often we resist the temptation to tinker, so let’s hope our patience is rewarded!
To confirm then we have DECIDED TO ROLL
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

A good week last week. We have had to go live early but there may be some movement regarding Saka after last night’s match so keep an eye on the comments if we decide to do anything.
