Grab, Avoid or Bore Off! GW8 The USA Edition
Welcome to the Grab, Avoid or Bore Off! GW8 USA Edition article. Having heard what our European writers have had to say about their own FPL seasons , Change of plans, the American contingent finished their part of this double edition of GABO first (just like the Ryder Cup), so we will go with them. Don’t let this put you off though 
We jest of course, because we know we have a good many regular site member from ‘over there’ and they all clearly know their stuff. They follow it as avidly as we do in the UK and in many cases are actually proving to be more successful. We here at FF247 love playing their game – MLS, and we would like to think we have had a fair degree of success in doing so. Except when we completely miss the deadlines! Do they have the same issues, what are their takes on our league and their fantasy game in relation to ours and how are they faring this season so far? Let’s go find out…

Do we think it’s foolish to buy Costa now? Poor fixtures and will surely get a yellow vs Leicester or United.
lukaku is better
They’re the two I’m deciding between. Lukaku’s been quite fortuntate so far!
I went for Luk over Diego because of the latter indiscipline. Can’t see going for him now
Not at all.He looks fit and is on form.I kinda regret taking him out over zlatan for Aguero now.
In hindsight, is kind of bs, Brooky. You would not be sad if Ibra just had the normal luck the other players had (Lukaku/KuN) and just scored one of those chances. Ibra and his owners pretty much had the worst kind of luck possible. Last two games he could have had 2 double digit scores.
Keep banging that Ibra drum Raz….whatever you say,1 goal and 1 assist in 5 games isn’t enough for me.I’m not saying he won’t score goals but I’m not sure he will justify his 11.5m price tag.
Can’t deny Diego is playing well, form similar to his first season with Chelsea but for me Zlatan i will choose every time once I have the money
Hey James, I think me showing my team can help you the best. I am keeping Ibra even though he will fucking kill my bank. Instead of the move Ibra to Costa I am probably going to do Baines to Stones (don’t ask why) and ummm Antonio to Wally. 😉
Wow, just noticed that even with losing all that money on Ibra my SV of my team is still 101.1m.
Owww shit, this is my team. Sorry. Moves I am planning are above you. 😉
You can’t get Son in?
You would prefer Son over Wally?
Son for me Raz you already have Sanchez , spread the love mate 😉
Always look forward to GABO and this one doesn’t disappoint! Cheers fellas. As a fellow member of the ‘other side of the pond’ team, I can only strive to offer my insights next time 😉
evening all. Spurs and Arsenal look good for next 3 weeks. I need to lose Barkley and Shaw I think. So should I Barkley/Son and Shaw/Bellerin or Barkley/Cazorla and Shaw/Walker. Will Son be in when Kane returns? Is Shaw likely to get back in view of Blinds performances?
Full squad Adrian/Pickford Shaw/Williams/Amat/Smith/Macauly Ozil/Barkley/Redmond/Capoue/Firmino Ibra/Kun/Diomande
have 2m itb for tf’s
Barkley/Son and Shaw/Bellerin sounds tempting to me
+1
Sup gramps, I’d take Koscielny over Bellerin.
Great article lads – it made me chuckle!
This is brilliant lads. Proper laugh out loud stuff
I believe Ibra will go down again possibly twice before nk GW might consider getting him back then.
Hope so. After Liverpool and Chelsea games I plan if he’s in good form to get him back in
