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.

Fixture Tracker – the next 6 games
Sorry if it’s been mentioned lads but should we be worried Aguero’s yellow flagged this morning or will he be ok?
Someone’s too busy to read the articles hehe
Should be fine Milburn he was training yesterday. No panic yet anyeay
Guilty mate. In my defense I’m horrifically hungover and that many words look a daunting task at present. Thanks
Haha you’re forgiven. Know what you mean mate, hungover myself and had a terrible sleep. Good luck this week
cheers guys, i’m in the same boat, difficult to even think
i have 0.3 ITB and 0FT left. Thinking of transferring out aguerro for a -4 hit ..but dont see a viable replacement option other than ibra. Since i am planning to bring kane next gw ..should i do any transfer or change my captain??
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
hochoki
No way would I be selling Aguero for a hit. I’d leave your team as it is.
what about captaincy??
Probably one of the Liverpool mids. Whichever you have the best feeling for.
Keep your team as is. For what it’s worth, I’m captaining Mane as things currently stand too. I’m most likely bringing in Kane next gameweek.
Morning all!!
I seriously do not know what to do with my team – was on firmino last night but I have changed it back to Kun!!
Do I keep the FT or do i bring someone in?
Help!!
You’re beyond help, Mitro! :winktongue:
You don’t need to transfer anyone – have two next week you’ll enjoy it more.
I am also unsure on captaincy but I think it may be an unnecessary risk going with Kun when Liverpool have a decent fixture. It may be so obvious that it’s the right thing to do. I may go Coutinho, so either him of Firmino for you.
It’s going to be a long lunchtime watching Kun with him not being my cappo!!
I will flip a coin between firmino and Coutinho at 11.29am
Cheers GP
Anyone going with Aguero as captain? I’m finding it tough to not go him.
Smash – I was, I am I don’t know, I’ve got a headache!!
Arghhhhh!!!! 😉
Not sure he will start
Early kickoff
Played CL mid week
Burnley at home are not easy, Arsenal barely managed to win
Hmm I am quite sure of not going for him 😉
Yeah I’m really not sure. I might go Sanchez. Burnley got hammered by West Brom though and Aguero is due
Smash – I have it on him at the moment.
Aguero or Sanchez
hi Smash, the only dilemma is if he doesn’t start.. but if he does it’s a really good chance to have him as a differential, which is a really rare case with him. bit risky. i’m gong with Alexis
My Team:
Cesc
Holebas Nyom Fuchs Walker Amat
Coutinho Firmino Sanchez Capoue Allen
Lukaku Kun Deeney
In the bank 0.5 & 1 FT
Options:
1. Deeney to Austin
2. Lukaku to Austin (later Deeney to Costa / Kane)
3. Sanchez to Hazard (will Sanchez start today?)
4. Hold the FT
Any suggestions?
Don’t play fabregas as goalie would be my suggestion
I would say bank the Ft, Luka has as much chance as Austin to score, Deeney has decent fixture and with the fixtures coming up would definitely hold on to Sanchez
Haha. Sorry for the typo. No Chelsea cover scares me. Plus confused on Lukaku vs Austin
Hold your transfer, matey. Gives you a chance to evaluate how the players got on this gameweek and then do two or even three the next.
Hello fellow fantasy nuts hope all is well. Just wondering what your thoughts are on my team, captaincy hasn’t been confirmed yet as there are up to 5 players I could choose from. Any comments or potential swaps from bench to starting 11 and captaincy tips are welcome. Cheers in advance
epl
Looks a good lineup. Captaincy is as tough for you as the rest of us!
