Good luck for GW17 from all at FF247!
I hope no one minds if I blow my own trumpet; I claimed last week, on this very site Adeboyor could be back to his old ‘fantasy gold’ status!
how’s everyone’s fantasy weeks going?
71 with Wally to play, signed O’shea and Adebayor this week so I’m more than a little chuffed as both are getting the +3 bonus..
In other news I’m second bottom in the new FF 247 classic league out of everyone who’s been playing since GW 1. Must be a fix
Nice Andy, how did Ade play today?
I never watched the match mate, I work away all week and have little time to watch football (Might be a good reason as to why my Fantasy teams so poo.) but I couldn’t care if he played crap as long as he bags 3 goals in 2 games for me. he’s well rested too.
What made you bring him in? I thought he could be a good differential, was great in my team a few years ago!
Guesswork really, I imagine Spurs will want to play with 2 upfront and I don’t think a Defoe \ Soldado partnership would work very well. He’s played little all season so I’m hoping he’ll get more game time over Christmas then other forwards.
56 with haz and Ramsey to play, pretty poor. Midfield needs work.
What do people think to taking a 4pt hit and doing Nasri and amalfitano out with Silva/Yaya and lallana coming in?
That could work well.
Can’t seem to pick any consistent midfield points, Nasri flatters to deceive fpl points wise.
Just whether to choose Yaya or Silva?!
I like Silva more, but Yaya doesnt seem like stopping anytime soon.
Shadow, Silva for me.
Shadow…
Do it..!
Shadow – what about Cabaye instead of Lallana?
Yeh I had thought of cabaye aswell, you reckon he’s a better shout than lallana?
I like Lallana, just watching the game today and he looks good. Cabaye and Lallana are from the same mould; nothing for a few weeks then score well. And out of the two Newcastle have better fixtures.
Vorm to Mannone (to free up cash) and Morrison to Wally for a 4PH or do it over two weeks? I do quite want wally in for this week plus prices changes would mean id have to go for a cheaper keeper. Cheers
Ok i’ll answer my question with another question, if Wally is at 91/1% (totalFPL) do you think he will go up tonight?
Hi Alex mate Walcott wont go up tonight!! he’s had 596 transfers todayand would need another 2500 (roughly ) to go up so I think you’ll be fine!!
Cheers Peaky pal, will watch the game tomorrow and then make the call. How’d you go this week?
Wally won’t be going up tonight but I’d definitely wait till after managers press conferences before the boxing day game before signing him. Arsenal now have 4 games in 10 days and after just recently returning from injury Wally will most probably be high on the list for possible rotation.
Wally needs 3058 transfers in order to change tonight! Guess he will only rise tomorrow provided he gets sufficient game time! So my guess is after his 2 goals tomorrow get him in but without a hit? But seems you are strapped on cash! So the 4PH might be necessary if Wally on fire again!
Cheers Kung Fu and Andy, good words of wisdom. Money is tight so those 0.3would make a difference!
A midfield with Wally, Silva , Ramsey Hazard os also one I am looking for..I am just “worried” about Silvas fifth yellow card looming around the corner…Would you straight swap Lallana for Wally if you were me?
Got Ramsey, Lallana, Hazard, Cabaye, El Ahmadi as midfield and 4 in the bank.
Kung fu: that is the midfield I will have after Wally is brought in so, whilst I like Adam L, I would do that as it is the midfield four I think is best long term. Who are your forwards?
NZ Alex – Mannone is only playing cos Westwood is injured. He is due back the 26th Dec. Don’t buy Mannone
Thanks dreamer although I heard Westwood needs a shoulder op? Any recommendations for a sub 4.2 keeper?
Ya – read that after (cheers HL btw) so that potentially changes things. Sub 4.2 is hard, think downright impossible for a playing keeper so maybe Mannone is worth the punt as WC is only a few weeks away
Cheers Dreamer, thats my thinking. Run the risk for a few weeks and then sort in January.
Can anyone explain why williams got a bp and coleman didn’t ?
It makes no sense, I didn’t see the game today but a goal and only conceding one!?
I watched the game and still don’t get it, tbh… :oogle:
Because FPL wants to lure people into buying Williams and then BAM he gets yellow carded and misses a game….or something?? To do honest WIlliams was solid at the back but Coleman deserved that bp point and maybe more! Mc Carthy getting 3 is also beyond me.
Thats a mystery, and it shall remain a mystery.
if Carlsberg made gameweeks……..
Net 76 pts.with Walcott, Ramsey and Mata still to play. With the added bonus of 6 pts on the bench if , say Mata, doesnt play.
BB top 4 qualification very close now barring a season best performance from Hazard (which I admit is possible). Not there yet but…….
