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.

Not seen many on here or at all with him to be honest, good luck

After United’s next four fixtures I’d imagine a lot more will have him.

With the rumour of Rooney playing a bit deeper, I’ve taken a punt & gone SIGGY!
duthers
I’ve got Rooney at the moment, I thought about siggy but thought it’s too much of a risk for me
HL
Duthers – Rooney here, too !
With the likes of Mata & Di Maria behind him – he will score a few, for sure…

That’s what you’d think, but with this united team, any things possible. Fingers crossed

JOVETIC for me

Sturridge or Rooney? I think Sturridge with Rooney playing in a “deeper position”?

What’s your thoughts on Daley Blind mate?
Veer
Currently got Jovetic as my captain, should I change to Ramsey?

In a similar situation with Rooney, Ramsey and siggy. I’d keep Jovetic, stoke haven’t looked great at the back, and being at home you’d fancy at least a goal from him
