Fantasy Football 247 Site Team Gameweek 13
Welcome to the Fantasy Football 247 Site Team Gameweek 13 article. So we managed a scintillating 38pts last week which was two below the average. Despite again finishing below the average we were actually quite pleased with ourselves on Monday night. Going into the West Brom game with had just 19pts to our name. Step forward Allan-Roméo Nyom and Darren Fletcher. When we bought Nyom ahead of GW12 we didn’t expect him to be our highest scoring player but thanks to the clean sheet, an assist and two bonus points he finished up on 11pts (High five us!). Fletcher climbed off our bench to replace Gundogan and duly chipped in with a goal meaning he contributed 8pts to our total. The fact that the rest of our team managed 19pts between the nine of them says enough about how pathetic they were! As you might expect we were handed yet another red arrow as we dropped to 80,126th position… it could have been so much worse had it not been for the Baggies!
Transfer – Sold Raheem Sterling and bought Philippe Coutinho
No surprise here as we had this transfer planned out last week. Liverpool home to Sunderland will hopefully provide plenty of scoring opportunities for him, and as we have seen Coutinho has been central to much of what Liverpool have produced this season. We are probably a bit late to this party, after all he is the most owned player in the game, but sometimes better late than never and if we leave it any longer he may well leave us standing alone in the corner once the lights go off, wondering why we never even bothered to ask for a dance, as he jets off into the night with the hot chick. But fear not Philippe, the fat ugly chick is coming along for a threesome… :hippo:
We did consider other options and most notable was our lack of Chelsea cover and this is a big concern for us. We looked at ‘extreme’ measures such as even ditching Kun, but we decided to at least give him this week given what West Brom did to Burnley on Monday but he could be the fall guy very soon as we look to restructure a bit and add some dark blue to our ranks.
THE NEW TEAM IN FULL FOR Gameweek 13
Our Captain is Alexis Sanchez
Even before the ‘Kun is a doubt’ news came out, it was a straight fight between Alexis and Coutinho for the armband. Poor Kun didn’t even register one vote which is a bit odd really given that his points per 90 minutes away from home this season are an amazing 9.5. The only player eclipsing that is is Coutinho as his home game rate is a straight 10 points per 90mins. For the record he got 40% of the (sensible) vote this week. The Gooner somehow nicked it though with 60%. His PP90 at home is just 5.3. Let’s hope he makes a mockery of the stats this weekend then! Just in case Wenger gives his favourite Chilean the weekend off Coutinho is the vice-captain.

Think the site team captaincy really settles it #TeamBear
I think you have to take into consideration who 66% of the 60% were! Kop is immune, you voted strategically… for you, the last third can’t even tell the difference between 6pm and 10pm
Evening all,
I have a few questions if anyone can help.
1. Is my bench correct
2. Should I try to include Mcauley
3. I’ve captained Aguero – is that a stupid thing to do?
Personally I’d start McAuley over Stones and Pieters, and I definitely wouldn’t captain someone who isn’t 100% fit especially when other players also have great matchups
Thanks for the response. Yeh I’d planned to include Mcauley, just concerned over double West Bromwich at the back!
I know what your saying about Aguero, I was looking at him as a bit of a differential
If not him I have 3 main contenders – Firmino, Sanchez or Hazard.
I hadn’t noticed that you had Foster so that makes sense now, however Hull just failed to score against Sunderland so I wouldn’t worry too much about double West Brom
I am thinking of playing amat against crystal palace or fletcher against hull
Who is better?
Amat
can’t be sure on my 3rd cb. Walker, Smith or Amat? Smith and Walker is facing tough opposition and judging by last season, the match was ugly and I won’t be surprised if there’s lots of cards in it. For me it’s a straight fight between Smith and Amat. Any thots?
Smith for his attacking potential, I am playing Amat betn kelly, Amat and Francis so don’t take me seriously
Morning! So who is everyone going for as captain?
Coutinho for me !
Pretty sure it’ll be Firmino for me. However I need to make my transfers first and the decide which of my defenders are least likely to concede!
What am I saying, I’ll probably go with Coutinho
The only thing I’m not sit about Coutinho is if he plays Sturridge yeah big if Coutinho drops deeper
Sturridge could stsrt but I’d be surprised if he does. Either way Coutinho will remain our chief creator.
Yeah very true he is Liverpools best player
Still he is on Fks and corners and his shots from outside the box are always a threat so will keep him
Morning all, thanks for the feedback on my team yesterday.
Captain Sanchez ftw for me!
I’m still on Aguero. Not sure if I want to change to Sanchez. I have both Coutinho and Firmino if I captain one of them may be a bit too big on Liverpool
