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.

An i good to go?
Thanks Little Red. Good luck to you mate
Play manquilo over allan if u r confident manquilo starts.
Done. Checked out the sites and they reckon Manquillo will start.
think im regretting it now..lol
Completely missed last weeks deadline and ended up with Antonio as captain, that went well.
Fernandes & Ings out for Torres & Ronaldo sound reasonable?
Yeah, I guess so, although I wouldn’t get Torres… Do you have Raphinha?
Yeh already have him.
Could spend abit more and go Grealish, or you thinking avoid any City?
In the main City assets are best avoided as you lack all certainty that they will start.
It’s tough, knowing they are there and their potential for points but give me a nailed player any day.
Dias is probably the safest bet.
I would avoid, there have been better fantasy players in the previous seasons than the City rotators and this season surely is no exception
OK, WC active
Any last minute amendments?
Template but looks very good. Have all the main players you’d want
Duthers, I hope so.
If everything goes smoothly without any injures it should be easy to get Luka for GW7.
Nice. Not Sure I would go with Ayling on WC though.
LRL, who else would you have at up to 4.5?
Probably White since you have Wolves def.
Looks good Ivan. With luck Torres plays. After having a MC player, I am traumatized lol.
Keep your eye on Jimi. Hopefully he is back to his best, but then Antonio is ready to go next week.
Thanks Bees
Torres will start and Jimi will be once again the hot property after this weekend
I guess u would be gutred if newcastle beat leeds 1-0 today..
But i also brought in raphinha now. And starting ayling over reguilon. Lets hope the leeds biys show their last season form.

Who has Raziel’s contacts? Remind him deadline is close.
Salah maybe is not the best choice, I have feeling that he will not play
Haha. Yeah. Maybe mane came off the bench in cl. Now salahs turn?
I’ve got this feeling also
Why do you have this “feeling”? Did you read a report?
We’ll see what happens tomorrow I guess
