DON’T MENTION THE WAR BENCH
Welcome to FF247 Site Team Gameweek 21
Regular readers will know that we played our Wildcard last week and those fat cats at FPL towers and their rules – just let us ‘double-chip’ and bench boost in the same week! Purlease?
We’re having a good season no doubt – even our bench is hoiking up the points (THIRTY FREAKING TWO!) – but we’re too good, for our own good, clearly.
CURSE THESE METAL HANDS.
On to the team itself and pleasingly, scored 82 points and a week which shows us being 23 points above the average of 59, also saw us take a red arrow and drop 1708 places to 6,797 overall.
Despite Mo Salah missing the penalty and GP smugly smiling (he wanted to sell him), he eventually returned a brilliant 32 points as a captain and it is a good job some of the FF247 committee know what they are doing!
We thank Alphonse Areola (11) – our ONLY points in defence oddly, Bukayo Saka (7), Phil Foden (12) and Julian Alvarez (7) of The City and Ollie Watkins (8) for pulling their weight.
Our Gameweek 20 Result
We have 0.8mln in the bank and 1 free transfer to use ahead of Gameweek 21. Let’s go see what was decided.
Our Gameweek 21 Transfer(s)
We sell Salah as planned and the vote was really split on this one.
Richarlison
Pascal Gross
Diogo Jota
Luis Diaz
All of the above were proposed and by just one vote which covered three of the above players, Diogo Jota was the choice. So not at all unanimous however, we all agree that it is probably the most likely to be explosive for the week ahead of us as the Portuguese plays Bournemouth.
In theory, his expected minutes must go up with Salah being away and Nunez still being there (ho ho!)
To confirm then we have SOLD MOHAMED SALAH and BOUGHT DIOGO JOTA
Captain – COLE PALMER
Again, a very mixed bag of responses with no clear winner and with another split vote. Winning by one, is Cole Palmer. Probably for the reasons of explosiveness mentioned above when discussing Jota – but we obviously fancy another 18-pointer now that we know he has it in him!
From benched to captain – What A Rush!
Saka is vice as he was second with 2 votes.

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

For anyone wondering about when to play the bench boost …… last week is the answer mate.
On -4 right now. Can I get away without activating the wildcard or even FH? Money is no object

Keep your chips. Think another hit for -8 to get another player out it worth it.

Smash suggested Salah to Saka.
Site teams move of Salah to Jota seems a good move too.
Should I keep Bowen, as its a risk whether he will play. If not, and I keep him, who should my bench order be?

I went for Saka. He is the second most favourite captain candidate after Palmer but I wouldn’t go that far.

How come no Palmer here!
Yay site team! Made the same (one of them anyhow) transfer of Salah to Jojo (Also Son to Richo), have the same captain this week, who incidentally was the same person I had on the bench last game week! The only difference is our ranking – well only 990 000 ranks difference ‘tween us. Fom where I was sitting, a score in the 80’s got me a green, but am obvs not seated in the lofty heights of the site team ! Maybe I should call my squad the ‘Shite team’ just to differentiate! Hahaha – have a good game week everybody!
Think I could be in trouble this week, no Foden and Jota for me. have Bowen & Gross instead.
Ivan,
Thanks mate. It’s tough as Saka, Jota and Palmer are good choices.
Should I keep hold and play Bowen?
As for captain, still not sure as to who this week
This is a reply to post 3.1
Hammerfan, it’s one of those weeks: eeny, meeny, miny, moe for a captain pick
Look at that

Watkins I think. Be different.
Just to decide on Salah replacement.
Everyone in my ML. Has Saka and Palmer, but not Jota.
I am staying with Alvarez for now. Unless, FOMO grabs me again and move to Palmer in the last seconds
