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.
If anyone is interested in following the site teams progress then you can do so here and we wish you all the best of luck this week with your own teams.

Smash10
Play Britos, Pieters or Amat? Already have Holebas so have Watford already
The Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Pieters I reckon Smasher
Brookyboy
Firminho or Coutinho for cappo ??
elleffcee (ex champ with a potty prize)
Coutinho, hearing Klopp could make changes today, especially that Sturridge may start, could affect Firmino.
Smash10
If Sturridge starts Coutinho will be deeper
Brookyboy
But Firminho wont play false 9 ?
Kop Warrior
Sturridge has been ruled out with a calf injury.
Brookyboy
So Firminho will play false 9 ? Coutinho may be benched if he has a niggle ?
theswirly
Coutinho, Brooky.
Brookyboy
Ok cheers lads !
specialK
How’s this team looking folks?
theswirly
Looking good to go!
specialK
Cheers Swirly, hoping for green arrows this week!
theswirly
You and me both, bud – known nothing but red arrows the past three or so weeks!
theswirly
Guys, news RE: Sturridge and the Liverpool formation…
Raziel
This makes a better case for Firminho as cappo.
banjomaker
Who are you going for Raz? I still can’t decide between Kun and Firmino.
Raziel
Firm or Coutinho.
banjomaker
What’s the best source for finding out team line ups the second they’re announced? Hoping to find out whether Kun starts before making the cappo choice.
specialK
Twitter is very reliable mate.
banjomaker
Maybe I should crumble and open a twatter account.
theswirly
It means you can also follow loads of people who claim to be fantasy football experts
Mito21 @TheLegendMito21
You are missing out. 😉
Raziel
Am I crazy if I buy Giroud? :p
banjomaker
Slightly, yes. I still think he’s far from nailed on.
theswirly
I’d wait for him to play 90 minutes before I bought him, but yeah, it is tempting!
Raziel
Should I do something with this team? I have 1 ft and 1.5m in the bank.
Raziel
I keep fearing for Redmond start but he has started every game so far. But his finishing has been really disappointing for a second striker. Siggy could be a better option but he plays for a shite team.
theswirly
Keep hold of your transfer, Raz.
banjomaker
Thought you said your cappo was Firmino or Coutinho? 😉
But, yes. Looks good to go.
Neo
I’d hold it Raz. Extra transfer would be very useful for the coming weeks 😉
Who are you gonna cappo?
Raziel
Old picture Banjo. It is currently on Coutinho. PRoblem with Pool mids is that 1 will always be quiet. Firminho in some games is invisible and then Coutinho still has free kicks and corner.s
