FPL Team Gameweek 5
Welcome to the FF247 FPL Site Team for Gameweek 5
Another week/Another Green Arrow
Easy this game – OK so we are only spitting difference away from the weekly average but those +9 points have brought us up to 392,480 and only two points away from the 300-point mark for the season.
We captained Ronaldo at home to Newcastle and stole a march on the two people in total who didnt and he landed us 26 points. Those 26 nestle neatly between the 34 points Salah grabbed us at Norwich and the 22 haul Antonio secured at home to Palace. Three captain successes in the opening four is very very welcome.
Salah got us 8 points thanks to his goal at Leeds and the rest was a case for the defence. TAA (12), White and Shaw (both 5). The rest a collections of 1s, 2s and 3s. Oh and a -1 for our former favourite Antonio. What have you done for us lately, Michail?
Our Gameweek 4 Result…
Let’s go see what was decided…
Our Gameweek 5 Transfer(s)
With Rafa El Gaffer being so open pre-Burnley in explaining to us that DCL is out and will be for at least 2-3 weeks with toe (and potentially other) problems, then we decided that we’ll take that as gospel (more fool us?) and with our one free transfer, we were after a forward replacement for this week (and short/medium term). The rest of our side is in pretty good condition so we are afforded the luxury of a straight swap.
Antonio is to be benched. Although it wasn’t openly discussed in full, it was taken as read that we’ll back the West Ham striker to come back in in time for Leeds and Brentford. Noice.
Bamford was suggested by one of the team and this was quickly seconded, thirded and fourth-ded (?). In comes Paddy lad and as a consequence we now have more Leeds than the Kaiser Chiefs!
To confirm then we have SOLD DOMINIC CALVERT-LEWIN and BOUGHT PATRICK BAMFORD
Captain – MOHAMED SALAH
Salah hoovered up the early votes and was never likely to be realistically challenged this week. As for vice, our resident United fan doesn’t like the Red Devils’ chances this weekend (not in those exact words but stuff it! … I’m shaming him!) and he voted for Bamford. Everyone else realises that should the worst happen to Salah, CR7 is the sensible VC choice.

Used my 1 FT to do Toney>Bamford. Almost show time….What do you think? Bench order correct or should I paly one of them over someone else?
Very nice
Yep
Cheers y’all!
WC: So I think one goalie goes to a 4.0 fodder and then I need to spend an extra 1.0-2.1 I think – who should go?
Hoping to save a ft next week and then get big Luke and Rüdi in gw7.
Benrahma to Jota maybe? Or Benrahma to Raphinha and Marcal to Semedo?
I am with Tornado. Ben -> Jota.
Cheera guys
*Cheers. Also just learned I didn’t save my changes
Luka or Salah for captain guys? Spurs not looking good but are at home.
Salah is the safe option.
I don’t have salah so i am going trent as Captain. A rare time i ll c a defender
Anyone going with Tsimikas or keep 1st on bench?
I wouldn’t just because you would not want a 1 point cameo. How does the rest of the D look?
I fielded 10 and the 11th spot is for Livramento or Tsimikas or Brownhill (Foster and Antonio no-show).
Sanchez
TAA,Shaw,Ayling
Salah,Tores,Raphinha,Benrahma
CR7,Bamford
——- I can sell Tsimi for a hit to get Semedo.
If any of Raph or Torres do not start, then it will be even bad. But I guess that will be similar for all.
Don’t sell a def for a hit.
Guess what, I am playing Brownhill with Amartey and Livra on bench
Is today the season’s premier of the Bamphinha show?
Did you get Bamford? I feel I don’t not yet know what LEE will do.
Who you captain Luka if you had him, or Salah? Can’t decide.
No Bamford. I have Jimi instead.
Tough one…I would cap Mo.
All the best LRL! Went with Salah. The stats support it.
No it will be a Raphinford show
Any chance of ASMiron to steal the show? I do not trust Leeds def, playing Ayling though.
Ronny or lukaku for this GW?
What do you mean for this GW? Wouldn’t you have them next week then? Ronny definitely for the next two for me, Lukaku from thereafter
