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

Gather your friends and foes and see who has the best strategic skills in fantasy football!
Morning all!
Thoughts on my team for GW12, am I benching the right player?
Nope. There’s no way i’d bench Pelle. If i had that choice to make then Payet would take the bench.
Mitro. .mane for me
Mane for me aswell Mitro.
Happy?
Much better for me..it will be payet or mane anyway..
Looks good.. I would bench Mane as well out of them.. U will have this head-ache every week.. Alternatively u could downgrade one of them to a bench player and get DDG in..
Morning Mitro I would not be benching Pelle against Sun maybe Payet it’s a tough one good luck mate.
Payet is too good for me to bench it has to be either mane or pelle!
Tough week for me”
Anybody know how many points take you into the top 10k?
Mito – where are youuuuuuu??
Currently 626-629 is the range for top 10k
14 away! Hopefully everything goes according to plan today
Wow!!!all da best man..that is really a good score u have there for sure..
Thank you
Anyone know if the tactician has thought about pulling a crazy one and benching Mahrez for tonight’s game?
Don’t start saying that!!! He’s my cappo!
Same here that’s why I’m worried. But I cant see any sense in it with IB coming.
I am captaining Vardy jus cos of this..
Save ft?
Myhill.
Sagna Cedric Rojo.
Mahrez sanchez payet Kdb.
Pelle Lukaku Vardy
Gomes Hoola Ward Bellerin*
Have a similar team.. And i am thinking of saving the FT too..
I’m seriously tempted by a mahrez capt this week.
Only thing that concerns me is that Watford haven’t exactly leaked goals that badly. Villa on the other hand…….
Exactly. Thats why Im capping KDB
That is my concern too man..but its leicester for me and they never failed yet to score..go with ur guts..im just playing it safe this week and go with pelle..cheers..but my vice definitely go to mahrez..
Hmmmmm – good point. Just saw that Villa have only kept 1 CS so far this season.
Hammers – I’ve gone with him as mine
Would u make any transfers to this team? 1 FT and 2.4 mil ITB
Or should save the transfer?
Forgot to attach the team
Nah. Keep ft. Looks fine. Please have a look at my post above
monitor Sako though
Thanks mardeal.. I wanted to kick out Sako, Gomez and Krul, but none of the options I thought of as replacements for these players would get into the starting 11 and thats why I am thinking of keeping my FT..
I will save it for sure..IB is around the corner..it will help u alot next GW..
Thanks Casey.. I guess its the right thing to do..
