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.

That time of the week again, opinions please lads .
Captaincy choices :
Rooney
Siggy
Ramsey
Dzeko
Who would you go for and why? Currently have it on Rooney but can’t trust United(Utd fan as well).
Siggy fom those 4. At home, on form, medium-quality opposition, definite to start.
I’m going Rooney. I suggest you do aswell
I still think Rooney.
Mate there’s rumours going around that Van Gaal will play 4-2-3-1 this GW and Rooney will play CAM!
I guess it’s stick or twist time.
If he does play deep, I’ll wc next week.
Well yeah there were rumours Costa was out for 6 weeks, but it turns out he may start later, so rumours are rumours haha. I’m interested to see how LvG incorporates all his best players in a formation. If Rooney is in fact sacrificed and asked to drop deeper it would be worrying. Although with Herrera out it makes no sense to go with a 4-2 at the back.
Either way, armband’s on Rooney, may make a late change to Dzeko if I feel like it.
Please help me to decide who to start and captain. Here is my current team:
Krul (Forster)
Ivanovic-Dier-Caulker (van Aanholt, Wisdom)
Fabregas-Sigurdsson-Ramsey-Sterling-Eriksen
Dzeko-Costa (Wood)
Thanks

That looks to be your strongest team today. I’d captain between Ramsey, Sigurdsson and Dzeko.
Morning all… So I had two free transfers to make and took a punt with the intention of playing my wildcard during international break.
Costa and Mutch out for Siggy and Jovetic…
No Costa is a risk but with the slight injury and Everton away I decided to take the punt and see what happens!
So lots going for Aguero this week I see.
Too risky having Costa and Dzeko this week?
Morning all. After a terrible start this year I have played my wildcard. This is where I am at the moment. I have £1m in the bank my thoughts are either
1- upgrade costa to Sturridge
2- use £1m on defence to upgrade slightly
3- risk costa and change jovetic to adebayor
Any thoughts? Any other options you would consider?
1- prob leaves u a little unbalanced. Also just don’t feel Aguero is must have yet.
2- yes
3-I’d avoid a City double up. It could be worth a shot on Remy this week.
Seren…
While your on wildcard….go wild..!
That front 3 jumps out as being a bit too optimistic ..
Probly keep Jov
Aguero is everyones dream player…but is he ready..?
Costa has given everyone a sleepless night.
Get Sturridge in there
& tweak that defence .
Gud luk…!
Thanks both I will go do some more tweaking …… Expect me back
My prediction for the end of GW 3!
Veer – how did you do that?
