Fantasy Football FF247 Team Game-week 12
Well, not exactly what we were looking for in game-week 11. We scored 53 points which was 3 points below the average. Our rank for the week was over 2 million and after those numbers there was no real doubt that we would see a red arrow. We proceeded to drop 124,910 spots in the overall from 483,140 to our new rank of 608,050. The tough season continues, but there is still plenty of time to climb in the overall to a respectable position. Onto a quick rundown of the week that was before we discuss our plans for the week ahead.
In goal we had Boaz Myhill who was probably tired of us looking at him with our puppy eyes, just begging for a clean sheet. So naturally he decided to let in one or three. One point from our shot stopper this GW. If the upcoming difficulty of his fixtures are any indication we should see a lot of one pointers over the coming weeks.
In defence we had the ever consistent Morgan who once again delivered his customary returns with a one pointer. Good to know that we can count on him to never keep a clean sheet when we play him. It is not that we take pride in being ignorant we just choose to embrace the delusion in owning a Leicester defender. Speaking of defenders producing little to nothing, enter Kolarov. With the clean sheet gone his chance came to redeem himself with a penalty… ARRRGHHH! Just about summed up our season so far that one. Luckily our new transfer brought us some joy, as van Dijk was able to grab a clean sheet. Now that’s money well spent, for now.
Our midfield was the Mahrez show after he grabbed a brace and the 3 bonus points for an outstanding 15 points. However his 55% ownership means that he also did that for just about all relevant teams. So with Payet, Sanchez and KDB only combining for 10 points it wasn’t happy days in the FF247 offices.
For those following along, you will have noticed that we did a small pros and cons on 4 forwards last week in our transfer section of this article. We proceeded to highlight why or why not we thought Kane, Giroud, Lukaku and Bony could turn out to be good or possibly a bad transfer. Naturally we selected Gomis to move out and we bought his non goal scoring cousin Bony, such a smooth transition that one. So that’s right, we managed to pick the only one who didn’t score at the very least a goal. FFS!!!! One time…one time, it be cool if we catch a break. Oh well, at least we still had Pele (Vardy) and Pelle to console us a bit with a goal each. Now onto our transfer plans, where I am sure we will make another brilliant decision and ruin some poor footballers good form.

Transfer(s) for GW12 – None!
We don’t often fall out. Well at least not Saturday to Thursday anyway… Friday seems to be the tipping point for some unknown reason. Well, we say unknown…
The only real suggestion this week was whether to transfer Myhill out (good idea, given his fixtures) and bring in DDG (good idea, given his fixtures) or to save the transfer and spurn the inevitable 4+ point gain. The vote went in favour of saving the FT with a view to having two FT’s after the international break.
It was not a vote well received in some quarters and let’s just say that some prams were without dummys for a while on Friday! Either way that was the decision reached but investigations have begun and let’s just say that vote rigging is a crime punishable by a 26 week ban…

Team Selection
Ten of the eleven need no explanation this week. As for the 11th – Naughton vs Morgan, we can’t really offer any viable argument as to why we would field either! We had to pick one and went for Naughton. All four teams involved in the decision this week have comparable stats in terms in terms of goals for and against given their respective home and away status. Purely on the basis that Leicester can’t help but concede early on and then have to make a drastic rescue mission we plumped for Naughton.

Captain – Kenin de Bruyne
Having been rested mid-week Kevin should be raring to go and a flailing Villa side feels as good a target as any for a rampant Man City.
Our vice-captain is Graziano Pelle

FANTEAM.COM – FANTASY BETTING
It’s time for your fantasy manager job to finally pay off.
Gather your friends and foes and see who has the best strategic skills in fantasy football!
Good to go?
I think Ighalo will score and Mane won’t, so I would swap those. Totally personal preference though. Mane has been cold and Ighalo red hot. Other than that, good looking team!
Aston villa match dont think so easy for city
And remember Norwich home
Even if kdb is rested the rest are tired
Why u didn’t think of vardy or mehrez captain?
I am officially crazy.
Good luck guys!
oh gosh what have I done!! Barkley please don’t score…
Ozil would not be my top choice, but good luck! I’d have saved the transfer and just played Martial instead of Barkley.
lol used both of my ft for gomis and barkley out for igalo and ozil.
lol.
going for a bir of an utimate differencial thing i guess. It’s dangerous but like, high risk could mean high reward right? well… we’ll see…
this should be interesting.
Ozil and Ighalo have been in form (and consistent point getters) this season while Barkley and Gomis have been hot and cold so I wouldn’t be too worried, Bob. I might double up on Sanchez and Ozil if I knew who to get rid of (maybe Mane). Anyway, good luck this weekend!
Come on Barkley lol
I have Galloway in defense, will he be a regular first choice for Everton or should I swap him out?
anidare
I don’t think he will be a regular choice, no. Not now that the senior players are returning from injury. I’d look for a replacement.
Should be fine this week as Baines isn’t ready yet and Oviedo is injured again as usual. Baines will be ready after the break so you won’t see too much of him after that.
Good Day,
My front 8 :
Mane / Mahrez / Ozil / KdB / Payet
Lukaku / Vardy / Pelle
who shound I bench??
Between mane or payet..since u have pelle for coverage then my choice will be mane to bench..just hope pelle will score hatrick..hahaha
Tks Casey …
and armband also to Pelle??
Currently my armband is on pelle..just hoping the best from him..mahrez is a good captain pick but i guess i just want to play it safe..hahaha..
U just can’t bench anyone against Sunderland. Payet imo.
Whoever you bench will get points.
This is very true Robin. You can’t beat yourself up when it happens though. This is what happens with a very strong front eight.
So I am unsure on 2 things. Who should I have as captain and whether to stay with an ‘All Out Attack’ leaving Company on the bench or use it with a standard formation.. Thoughts? Suggestions??
No point in Benching Kompany against AVL and playing Wijnaldum by using AOA.
Go with your gut for this GW cappo selection. Anyone can shine.
Good advise regarding the AOA and holding out for another day. I’ll play Company for sure. Cheers for the input
AoA looks very good.
Hi phil
Both choices are personal ones I’m afraid. Nothing stands out to say YES or NO on the AOA question. Sound reasons for both playing it and sound reasons for also using Kompany. Personally, as you have the potential for a City CS, I’d hold off.
The captain one has so many choices there that it’s hard to pick one. Gut feeling on that one mate.
