Site Team & Predicted Line-ups Gameweek 18
Fantasy 5-a-side
Our GW17 Result…
Amidst the carnage that was GW17 we managed to field 9 players and came out a bit bruised and battered with just 51 points and with another red arrow through our hearts, as we plummeted 40k in rank to 256,951st.
But we still had some decent performances within that via goals from Trent, Salah (c), Jota and Death Rowe and a clean sheet from White. Rudiger, Raphinha and Antonio all got two, whilst Ayling rather unhelpfully came off the bench to add a -1.
We have £0.9m in the bank and 2 free transfers to use ahead of GW18. Let’s go see what was decided….
Our GW18 Transfer(s)
All things considered we aren’t in that bad a shape this week. That’s if you take out the absence of any fit or available goalkeeper or forward!
It was quickly decided that we should go route one and grab Watkins to fill that striker breach. He’s in a bit of form and Stevie G seems to have Villa firmly on an upward trajectory.
Given as we still have our Wildcard to use it seemed like a no-brainer to use our other transfer and this became a toss up between buying a playing keeper, and therefore fielding 11, or buying Lacazette and playing with 10 and a couple of outfield subs. There were merits to doing both but ultimately we have gone for the conservative approach and grabbed a keeper. Not necessarily the one we wanted either but Ramsdale has his qualities. Being affordable was his main one…
To confirm then we have SOLD Antonio and Bachmann and BOUGHT Watkins and Ramsdale
Captain – Salah
Little argument here again, as per.
Watkins got the nod as vice should he be required.

Predicted Line-ups Gameweek 18
For the busy Christmas period we are adding this feature to the end of each FF247 Site Team article give the limited time we have between most of the GW’s.
As a quick reminder –
There are two versions of this article.
The one below has a drop-down version. It’s fairly idiot proof – you simply click on the small arrow to the right of the team name and you get a drop-down list of all the teams. Simply click on the one you want to see and hey presto, etc. This is the published article with the comments section to crack on with.
The other one is permanently live and has the ‘nicer’ grid layout. If you want to see that version you can click here. This can also be easily accessed at any time via a myriad of links on our homepage – Header link, Hot Topics link, Quick Access link on mobile and it is also linked towards the end of all of our regular articles.
What you see below is a live link to what Drafthound have on their website. Why is that significant? Well, firstly, it now means that the second they make any updates in reaction to live team news then they will also appear on here. Being uber helpful in that respect they also time-stamp all of their line-ups so you can tell to the minute when it was last updated.
As an additional extra if you click on any player icon on the team line-up that will take you to their own page on Drafthound, from where you can see up to date season stats, their upcoming fixture schedule and use a comparison tool to view similar players.
Given their time and effort in providing this content for us it would be rude not to occasionally click on the Drafthound link and check out their own fabulous content as there are FPL articles aplenty on there too.

Isit worth doing a -4 for de gea to ramsdale?
Done Antonio to Watkins already
I don’t think so personally. Unless you really prefer Ramsdale over De Gea moving forward then there is a case for it
Cheers smash.
Just the 9 playing for me
Watkins move is good enough.
Nah. DDG looks a keeper to keep going forward. And Ramsdale could very well get a 1/2 pointer.
Does the site team have some secret love affair with Lukaku? I mean it was a bad/baffling decision at the time as he weren’t fit and now has Covid
That’s a bit harsh
Harsh but probably fair
Tbh, he wasn’t even mentioned!
He was, I wanted him out for Lacazette.
It was an unfortunate and somewhat unlucky gamble at the time of buying him as at that exact point he had already returned to action, Chelsea were struggling in front of goal and had a very favourable fixture (Watford) in front of them. Just didn’t pan out, so unlucky yes, baffling not so much.
Baffling yeah because the week the site team got him in I knew he weren’t going to start. Tuchel pretty much said it himself. As a Chelsea fan I would have loved to have got him in but he’s not been match fit for ages
Morning guys
Strange time for FPL right now.
How does the team look
I have 0.8m Itb
Shall I go for
Gray&Gallagher for Jota & ??? (Maybe Ramsey at 4.5m)
This will be for a -4 hit
What do you guys think?
any advise please
Thanks
How about Mount instead of Jota? 3 pool players will be hard to navigate if they have a postponement.
Good idea
That will leave 4.8
Any better replacements than Ramsey at 4.8
Morning all,
Am thinking of using my ft to move King to Lacazette but am making it really tricky for myself to get Ronaldo back again.
Should this be a concern or do I just go with it.
May as well just play the GW that is in front of you at this stage and worry about the others as and when / if they happen.
Do I bring in Foden or Bernardo for Gallagher for a -4 ? Have wc left. Or ride out this gw?
Thanks
May as well grab somebody there or else you only have 9, I think.
Thanks
I see the Bilva yellow flag has been removed. Was he declared fit to play?
They declared a fully fit squad apart from Torres. Whether you believe that or not is another matter…
Thanks
He was pictured in full training yesterday Bernardo Silva
