Finalised Fantasy Football 247 FPL Team – GW3
We pre-released our team on Wednesday evening, suggesting that we were just going to make one change. However, as you know, rumours of a hamstring injury to Chelsea striker Diego Costa were beginning to surface, hence we needed to wait for today’s press conferences to clarify the situation with him and indeed everyone in our squad after a busy week of Champions League, Capital One Cup and Europa League action. Jose Mourinho confirmed that Costa is “a big doubt” for the game vs Everton and hence we have decided to sell him, despite the injury not believed to be as serious as first thought. We could have benched him, but we have decided instead to buy Liverpool’s Daniel Sturridge. This is a move not just for GW3 but for the medium term as Liverpool have a great run of fixtures coming up and we had no cover from them. For a team that has become free scoring, we felt cover in this area would be essential sooner rather than later and Costa’s injury presented us with the excuse to invest in Liverpool.
To supplement Sturridge we needed to raise 1mln and so we had to use our 2nd free transfer and we have sold Joel Ward and bought Newcastle’s Paul Dummett. We explained our preference for the Newcastle defence on Wednesday and although we would have preferred Daryl Janmaat, price dictated that Dummett was our only option.
Stevan Jovetic remains our captain for this week, with Gylfi Sigurdsson the vice captain.

GW3 Team!
Happy for a -4 hit or good to go?
Thanks
Sky Sport Italia’s Gianluca Di Marzio is reporting that Chelsea have indeed agreed the signing of France striker Loic Remy from west London rivals QPR, The Blues are said to have activated a 10million euros (£7.9m) clause in the 27-year-old’s contract.
Which team is better? Current team with De Gea or a WC team with Courtois? I have 0.5 in the bank and 0FTs for current team! Thanks!
Why are you even considering using your WC?
Yeah I don’t get it at all.
Kop, I’m more worried about my defence with Chambers likely not to start, Bruce has been out and I don’t like Duff in there! Also El Ahmadi has not been playing so my subs if needed are not playing!
Ok mate but I don’t think it’s worth using your WC because you’re not happy with your fringe players.
Bruce is likely to play this weekend as Chester is suspended.
Do you think so even with the arrival of Dawson? Maybe I could take a 4pt hit and switch Chambers for Taylor?
If they play 3 at the pack which appears to be Bruce’s favourite formation then I suspect that Bruce, Davies & Dawson will play.

Costa situation obviously isn’t great, but defence is in more need of attention. Luis out Clyne in, or that transfer and take a hit to get dummet in for Baird?
Team:
Who to captain out of this lot?
Too risky to put the armband on Siggy? Ranked 36k atm, so there’s potentially big downside if he blanks…
Siggy or Rooney for me, neither guaranteed points but it’s just sort of Gameweek by the looks of things
