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.

Kop/ Init – you don’t see Costa playing?
Dreamers, I’d be surprised if he starts mate particularly with his hammy record.
Kop – cant say I disagree. But not seeing great alternative choices. Possibly Adebayor with Liverpool defense being new but even thats not great. Have already Dzeko so not doubling with Jovetic.
I agree mate, I decided to take a punt on Ade
Team is all set and the weekend is about to begin.
Hey guys, How am I looking this week? Annoyed I left 15 pts on the bench last week with Naismith and Hutton.
Krul (Mannone)
Koscielny, Hutton, Caulker (Pieters, Duff) Still keeping faith in Caulker for this week anyway
Silva, Hazard, Ramsey, Siggy, Sterling
Rooney, Jovetic (Naismith)
Chico
Looks set mate.
Morning All…
All set for GW3 ?
What do you think about my front 7 ?
Sterling / Ramsey / Di María / Schürrle
Balotelli / Rooney / Jovetic
:satansmoking:
You’re happy HL, that is the only thing that really matters.
On that note, does look awesome. Hope they will all play. Epl has some great new additions this season.
HL
Obviously some gambles on there but they could pay off. My main concern with jovetic owners is what happens when he stops playing as in the 7.5-8.5 million region there’s nobody looking that good at the moment (besides him haha)
HL
I like it. Least we know who will be happy if the new boys catch fire straight away.
Best of luck.
Tnx, lads 😉 !!
Mad Mario is a risk – I know…but acc. all news Di Maria should play from min1…
Let’s see..
O’Shea away at QPR
or
JWP away at West Ham
Thanks
Swiss
JWP. Only because I side with MIDS normally.
To spend the afternoon praying for a CS is not my idea of fun either. Thanks GP.
Well after tearing myself apart over costa i’ve taken the plunge and got myself a shiny brand new Aguero.Lets just hope he doesnt break after one game for me !! Better to regret something you have done than something you haven’t done right ??……………. Right ??
Brooky
I’m in the same camp.
Kop told us to get him in the tips article so don’t worry it’ll be his fault if it goes wrong :cuss:
Ha ha.Was really torn what to do.If i’d only had one transfer i might have left costa in,then i couldnt decide between jovetic sturridge or Aguero.But in the end theres only one Agueroooooo !!
