Fantasy Football 247 Site Team Gameweek 11
Welcome to the Fantasy Football 247 Site Team Gameweek 11 article. If we said that six of our team all scored 3 points or less this week then you’d maybe expect that this would then lead onto a story of sorrow and despair. It just goes to show what having a minority of decent performers can actually produce though as we managed a fairly respectable 79 with a load of hallowed green arrows in all the right places. Cech, Walker, Pieters, Sterling, Capoue and Deeney are the players doing the walk of shame. Holebas, Firmino, Sanchez, Aguero and Lukaku can all hold their heads high, if they can shoulder the weight of our team. They carried us through to a small rise in the rankings from 57k to 39k. It’s not ground breaking but at this stage it’s acceptable. We do have a small confession to make this week though…! We voted for, and subsequently published, that we would captain Deeney last week. That was our intention, albeit a bad one, with the benefit of hindsight. Fortunately, as such… we didn’t actually captain him, we inadvertently captained Sanchez. We didn’t actually notice the faux-pas until we checked the score on Saturday evening. It was a net gain of just 11 points but that probably represented a good few thousand places in the rankings. We did the transfers but we just failed to confirm the final team. It happens to the best of us. And we’re delighted to say it happened to us this week!
Transfer #1: Capoue to Gundongan
We had a transfer saved in the bank this week and we felt it was a good opportunity to fix a couple of issues so we unleashed both.
We rarely make an early transfer but we did this one on Tuesday as he was going up in price and he was also clearly on fire! Given his form allied to City’s fixtures and his bargain price this one was a no-brainer for us. When he was signed it was expected he would be just another cheap DM with little or no FPL value, and his price reflected that, but he’s proven to be a box to box midfielder with goals in his locker. Think Yaya Toure about 3 years ago, but about 4 stone lighter, an actual work ethic and an agent who isn’t a w@nker.
Transfer #2: Deeney to Austin
This is what happens when you don’t score 3 against Hull, we just sell you. Let that be a warning to you Mr Austin! We hope it’s one he heeds as he’s ours now, or at least he is until he either fails or another ‘3rd’ forward presents themselves with either better fixtures or better form. Hull may have finally put a resistance last week but this one still makes sense all round, especially given that it’s for free.
THE NEW TEAM IN FULL FOR Gameweek 11!
Our captain is (possibly 
) Sergio Aguero and our vice captain is Charlie Austin
Unanimous. That probably says it all. As a bonus treat we even double checked that we saved it this week…

Morning all,
“This is what happens when you don’t score 3 against Hull”
I should sell Deeney also, no SoT against Hull means crap. :smirk:
Triple City should be rewarded I think.
:thumbup:
I was being somewhat facetious! But yeah he’s been awful has Deeney and chasing Hull with a good striker still seems the right thing to do if your situation allows it.
i’m transferring him (deeney) out without hesitation
Holebas against Liverpool and Pieters against WHU instead of Walker against Arsenal? That’s my only issue here. Team looks set up very nicely for this GW!
1-0 to the Arsenal……..
Innit, did you not see my Kane prophecy on the last article comments?!?!
Guys,
HEAT ON!!!
BelleRin, LOLvren, Daniels
Sanchez, Coutinho, Firmino, Allen
CAPT Kun, Austin, Blankaku..
Jaku, Capoue (seriously!!), Amat, Kingsley
1.3ITB, 1FT
Am I set for this weekend?
Cech
Williams, Holebas, Stones
Gundogan, Firminho, Sanchez, Coutinho
Lukaku, Austin, Aguero (C)
Pickford, Amat, Barry, McAuley
Or play McAuley instead of Williams/Holebas? Played my FT
i will play McAuley over williams due to holebas attacking mindset
Vokes playing Crystal Palace at home or Allen against West Ham away? Who is going to score more?
stoke are losing shaq and arnie if im not mistaken. Have no idea how they will accomodate that to help allen, while burnley are very shy to get a goal.
both are good option and will be predict to get something from the game,
but, im preferring allen for west ham leaky defense
Gents
What should I be doing this GW; 1FT & 0.1 ITB
Morning Mitro, hold the transfer mate!!
Do you think wally will start?
Mitro, yes I do – he trained yesterday and Wenger said he was the closest one of the injured crew to make the game. I am guessing, but hopefully it’s a solid and educated guess.
Cheers cookie!
Fingers crossed he does as he usually plays well in the NLD
+1 That team’s set up very nicely for this week Mitro.
Cheers milburn
save FT and waiting for International break
It’s looking that way – cheers labyrinth
