FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team Gameweek 13
Welcome to the FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team Gameweek 13. Oooooh Marcos Alonso. Oooooh Marcos Alonso. We knew he’d come good in the end. Patience is a virtue. Try, try, try again. Our Spanish superstar did us proud, rewarded our loyalty and faith with a goal, clean sheet and 2bps as Chelsea swept aside West Brom with ease to send Pulis back to the job centre. Alas, Alonso was our highest scorer of the week but was closely followed by Pascal Gross whose goal on Monday night was supplemented by 3bps. A nice finish to a week, which was average. Well, very slightly above average – we scored 61pts vs an average of 56, yet it was not quite enough for a green arrow. Our third red arrow in succession takes us down to 420,608.
Goals from Richarlison and Jesus also helped while assists for Firmino and Silva were much appreciated. The less said the better about our Spurs duo, while United annoyingly couldn’t even keep a clean sheet at home to Newcastle.
Our wildcard remains in hand. Somehow. But we have 2fts to use this week…
Last weeks ‘result’…
This weeks transfer(s)…
Sold : Groß, Firmino
Bought : Pogba, Wilson
Bit of an odd one this week as we were all set to buy Sane and Wilson for Sterling and Firmino. The alternative to Sane was Pogba, which was debated long and hard. Sane prevailed… And then some smart-arse realised that we could actually keep Sterling and get Pogba just as we were about to write the article!
It is a bit of a risk as Sane is nailed on to play this weekend having been rested in midweek whereas Sterling almost played the full game. But then he did provide the critical moment in said game. We are risking him getting the nod again with our late change of mind but what it does (in theory) is allow us to maintain triple City attacking coverage vs Huddersfield whilst also bringing in Pogba as opposed to having Groß play away against Man United. Even if Sterling gets benched then he’s likely to appear for the last 30mins or so and we would probably rather that than anyone playing away at Old Trafford.
Buying Wilson may feel like we are chasing points a bit but we prefer to think of it as chasing form. And fixtures. They play Swansea this week. Not a lot not to like about that combo! Plus he enables the other move.
In other news we also voted (we think!) to activate our Wildcard ahead of GW14. This was enthusiastically voted in favour of, given our lack of Salah any Chelsea attacking coverage, until another smart-arse pointed out that it would have to be decided before Tuesday this time given the short turnaround in games. Deep breaths all around then but we are confident it will happen, and this is in part down to the amount of jobs seemingly available in Monaco which allow people to simply play fantasy football all week rather than actually working #mentioningnonames :hippo:
The team in full
And so this is how we line up ahead of GW13…
Our Captain is Harry Kane*
*Puffs cheeks! Really? Are we all going through this again?! He was the unanimous pick anyway. And probably the obvious one. When do we ever get to the last chance scenario with these trolls though? Hopefully not this week! We did however catch an encouraging tweet this week on Kane’s next 4 opponents and his points scored against them last season, for what it’s worth –

Here is My team and My Opponent’s team. Who will have more chance of winning?
It seems my team will have less chance. So, I’m thinking about transferring.
1. No transfer
2. Only Gomez or Mbemba to Yedlin or Kiko or Marriapa.
3. -4pts, Lukaku and Gomez to Jesus and Mustafi.
4. Big transferring, -8pts, Lukaku and Carroll and Gomez to Callum Wilson and Pogba and Otamendi.
5. Your suggestion.
Help me for this case! Many thanks
A goal for each in the Burnley game and you’ll probably win that. I’d do option 2 as Gomez played midweek and he’s been rotating that spot fairly consistently. Although it’s usually the other way round with TAA playing midweek.
Have you had a chance to update the stats table this week mate? Used it for an answer on here last night and I think it still showed last weeks data. No probs if not but it is helpful and people do use it.
Thanks inittowinit. Sorry, I have not updated the stats table this week because I’m busy. I think it is not necessary if i update today. I promise I will update the stats table for next week
It’s not a problem at all mate. And no not worth it now. You don’t work in IT by any chance do you?
Is Kiko Fermina fit do we know?
Yes. Kiko passed the physical test
He is Smash. I covered Watford last night for today’s article. He has trained all week and is expected to play.
Watford communicated?
Wonders will never cease.
Thanks was surprised to get an answer so good on that I might bring him in
Whichone better take morata for aguero or keep the ft and play aguero instead?
I have sane and silva in my team
NewbDoe
The way Huddersfield have been I would keep Aguero for this week and make the trade next week.
Morata has Liverpool and while he could score it is a tough one.
Aguero may not start but it’s all just guess work. Even if he comes off the bench, he could knock a couple in.

Nice transfers IMO.
:ok:
Yeah I quite liked the moves. A bit surprised there was no panic to get Salah in there
He’s part of the WC plans. Think we just felt that Man Utd and Man City both had a more preferable fixture this week.
Morning all, is this team good to go or are there any glaring issues that need sorting out (I know my bench is woeful) but hey ho. Cheers all for any advice
Yep, bang on. Good luck!
Assuming Kun plays! He’ll most likely come on though even if he doesn’t start.
the last two matches that he has not started he was kept on the bench the whole game, they play midweek again and reports are due to Mendy being injured, it is either him or Jesus.
I would hold my breathe for Kun to play.
