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.

I got a feeling he’ll be on the bench for this one
Be interesting as technically he only got 45 mins so is rested and was not really injured
We’ll Soon see tomorrow, I’m not sure who to get Martinez or Ederson?, For me city have better fixtures
+1
He will start and he is a great deferential captain, together with Cancelo for this GW.
If u have the funds, then Ederson.
I wouldn’t be bold to c b silva. Cancelo vc probably.
Spurs could be rusty after a 2 week covid break so salah still best c option i feel.
Hi all
6.5 ITB 1FT. What moves would you make here? Bring in another City Mid? Bring in Ramsdale as well?
Ramsdale sounds good for a free. Since you already have 2 City players, I think that’s enough unless you’re willing to gamble on the Pep roulette.
Would take a hit to field a full 11 though?
I’m in a somewhat similar situation. I’ll have a full squad if I do Ronaldo to Watkins in a FT but that’s with Brownhill who is likely to get just 1 or 2 points. Contemplating taking -4 to upgrade Brownhill by can’t decide if it’s worth it.
Mount perhaps also an option as mid.
Would you get a GK on a free transfer?, I have 9 this game week I could easily roll over if it ain’t worth it
Of course for free.
I’m thinking Ederson or Martinez what do you think?
Martinez
Good job I didn’t do Martinez haven’t made a transfer yet
Ronaldo & Brownhill to Watkins & Foden for -4. Yay or nay? Or maybe just stick with Ronaldo to Watkins?
How certain are we the 5 games will go through?
Guys any help on the best 4.4m or 4.5m midfielder
Is it Ramsay?
I’d say yes, just make sure you get the right Ramsey
Jacob Ramsey.
Brownhill to Foden?
How certain are we the games will go through? Poop has a big chance to be cancelled? And then others?
Or Duffy to Alonso?
I’d get in Foden, Chelsea defence has fallen off since Chilwell got injured
