Fantasy Football 247 Site Team – Gameweek 12
The Kings of Bonaire, Saint Eustatius and Saba
Welcome to FF247 Site Team – Gameweek 12
Well we bet you don’t want to hear a success story after the shambles that was Gameweek 11 do you? Well, unfortunately modesty (only just …) prevents us from happy dancing in front of you as we are celebrating a Gameweek 11 where we scored *gulp* 55 (FIFTY FIVE) points.
Sam Johnstone scored us 9 in Palace’s clean sheet win at Burnley, whilst Kieran Trippier and Fabian Schar (disgracefully) helped themselves to 14 points between them. A goal from Jarrod Bowen (7) and an assist from Bryan Mbeumo (5) led us to Monday night and James Maddison and Cole Palmer to go. The Chelsea man rattled in 12 points whilst Maddison didn’t.
In one of the best games we’ve personally ever witnessed – if for drama and excitement and not overall quality – we somehow came away landing on the correct man (excluding Jackson, because well, who did?).
The 55 points was 23 points ahead of the weekly average and has landed us another green arrow to *drumroll* 2,130 in the world AND JOINT FIRST IN ‘BONNY SANTY SABA’ (as us locals affectionally call it)*.
We have 740 points overall. Crazy.
* it’s Curacao adjacent and north of Venezuela.
Our Gameweek 11 Result
We have £0.0mln in the bank and 2 free transfesr to use ahead of Gameweek 12. Let’s go see what was decided.
Our Gameweek 12 Transfers
We are looking at having to deal with the binfire of Spurs and our James Maddison (injury) and Destiny Udogie (suspension) issues. Udogie may be one we can park on the bench and return to when he is back. Estupinan coming on and then back off in Brighton’s good win at Ajax on Thursday was the red flag which turned to a green light to sell. Too risky – and Brighton haven’t kept a league clean sheet all season.
The Maddison replacement went to Anthony Gordon who we like fixture-wise and position-wise in this Newcastle team. Our very own ‘Mr Toon’, Rosco, didn’t raise as much as a smile eyebrow when it was mentioned and that’s good enough for us – it has to make sense!
To confirm then we have SOLD PERVIS ESTUPINAN & JAMES MADDISON and BOUGHT WILLIAM SALIBA & ANTHONY GORDON
Captain – MOHAMED SALAH
Mohamed Salah was picked by author default looking at his fixture versus Haaland’s and no one resented the decision so much as to challenge it so here we are.
Haaland vice.

PREDICTED LINE-UPS
Back by popular demand! Well, sort of… Drafthound have changed their line-up approach this season and what it means for us is that we are no longer able to display a live feed of it on here due to some technical difficulties. That said, what they have done looks great and is still only a click away so if you want to access those they are HERE

***NEW ARTICLE – SITE TEAM GW12***
Some odd transfers going on but who are we to question!
May Saka strike you down…
Some smart changes to the site team there looking good.
What would you’s do with this mess 1ft (already did burn to livra) 0.4itb willing to take a hit to set up for coming weeks
No need for a hit this week… provided Tsimikas and Livramento (I brought him in too) both start, you have a good first 11… good luck..
Sorry, do you mean you still have 1ft? If so, I’d look at the defence. If not, hold
Yeah i still have 1ft to use
Evening everyone
What would you do here:
FTx2
ITB:0.6m
Do I do Burn->Schar/Lascelles or Gabriel->Saliba, or both?
My thinking is, as its an IB after this, might be better to have 2FT for that.
What are people’s thinking?
As for captain, Son or Salah?
I’d so 1 and carry 1. I’d also keep hold of Gabriel
Do 1*
Thanks Gear.
So Burn->Schar or Lascelles?
Depends on if you really want to stick with Newcastle with all their injuries at the back and between the 2, if you’d like the extra cash or not?
Burn to lascelles. Think he is safe to start for a while
my feel is that Botman is closer to return than thought.. so I wouldn’t do Lascelles… Burn to Schar if you can afford it…
I can do Burn->Schar
Thing is, if people agree, my team looks ok for this weekend, so whoever I bring in will be 1st bencher, so may not play.
Needs to be someone who might not play, but, if comes on, can get me points, but also have a good run of fixtures coming up.
I’d probably just fix Burn for cheaper D then… take a stab at Livramento, a Palace defender or maybe fix Turner?? If you’re not going to play Schar every week, I don’t see why you’d spend the money..
highaction – its just potentially this week, although I may well play him instead of Tsimikas – as I am not convinced he iis a guaranteed starter.
Hey Hammer??? why not a Hammer? great run of fixtures, pretty much guaranteed starts for Coufal, Aguerd, Emerson… long term hold… they’re all cheaper than Burn on paper…(not sure how much you’d get back)..
CRAP… I just wrote all this out and saw the name MUBAMA.. sorry… nevermind.. maybe deal with him?? Archer for the win???
Think I will go Schar, play him, Tsimikas first bencher.
Now to decide captain..lol
Maybe Salah, vice Son….
Anyone else tempted by captain Watkins, or should I follow FOMO and stick with the usual Salah trap?
Didn’t you read my cappo piece!
I did Gear and I need some really bold moves to get out of the current mess
After all, Fulham have shipped 10 goals away while Brentford only 4
Honestly, I don’t think he’s a bad shout
I c him. Don’t have salah.
Hi All
Do you think Bowen or MARTINELLI best replacement for Maddison ?
do you think tiskimas worth try or sold burn with minus 4?
Bowen all day with those fixtures. He hasn’t gone 2 games without a return yet this year..
This
GTG? Have I benched the right player?
I mean, it’s Lascelles or Tsimikas, Gear, right?? I think I might do Lascelles.. he’s going to start for sure, Tsimikas has more attacking potential for sure, but what if Gomez starts and Tsim gets a 20 minute cameo? tough one. gut call.. good luck.
Looks good Gear.
As above, Tsimi call is tough as didnt play last weekend apart from a cameo 1 pointer.
Cheers both
Newcastle defender over a Pool defender.
Yeah play lascelles
