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 –

Hey Guys,What should be done with this lot??Thinking Stones to someone??Have 1Ft and 1.6m itb.Still have hold of the WC.
Shane,
Otamendi or Mustafi?
Right starting XI?
Snookie,
Personally I would play RLC instead of Gross
+1 in RLC
Thanks will go with him then
Good. Not sure About Kun’s minutes though.
Hello all and good luck in GW 13.
Fabianski
D.Luiz Daniels Monreal
D.Silva GroB Salah Richarlison
Jesus Kane Vardy
Elliot T.Carroll Mee Jones**
1. Play Fabulous or Elliot
2. Captain Vardy/Kane/Jesus?
1) Fab
2) I’m captaining Kane surely due a big score
Was gonna captain Kun last week then changed to Salah. Dodged a bullet. However looking a Jesus & Vardy is see a potential differential: Jesus playing against hopeless Hudd + rested for CL and Vardy plays against the team with the most conceded goals so far.
Yeah can’t argue against Jesus can see City hammering Huddersfield
Good evening all, as u can see i have 3 sure non-starter (carroll, jones, atsu) & 1 doubtful starer (aguero)…. i want to change at least 2 of them… what should be the best transfer decision among them ??
1. aguero + carroll/ atsu to wilson/murray+sane/hazard
2. jones + atsu to otamendi/kompany + RLC
Any other transfer suggestion would be very much appreciated
Personally I would do the first one. Just sounds a lot more exciting! I’d probably take Sane just because that’s a much better fixture in theory plus you have Morata already and not having any City attacking cover would scare me!
so should i transfer out atsu or carroll and take wilson or murray ??
Sorry Wilson. Murray is doing great but given his age you’d expect Hemed and him will start to share time when the fixtures get busier. Like this week! Atsu out. At least Carroll is actually fit to play if you need him.
Don’t see Murray light it up against man u away. Wilson for me
First one Sane for Atsu and Wilson for Aguero
thanks mate
Keep kun or swap for lukaku or Lacazette?
Sort that defence out man!!
Hehe.
If you do go this way, then looking ahead, I think Lacazette. Interestingly he hasn’t played 90 minutes once since the opening night! Ironic when looking for an Aguero replacement :winktongue:
Indeed, that defense is more problematic than mine.
Sadly Francis screwed everything over for me, last weekend.
Don’t worry I will sort my defence out as well!
Dunno. Looking elsewhere myself.
Don’t get the Lacazette appeal he will be rotated in a worse team. I have reservations about Lukaku but might still go with him
Which one
That’s not sorting your defence out as well pal !
Don’t get the Smalling move with the situation you are in
Smash
Suggestions?
Favouring a 4.5 guy Kiko and then using the cash to get another 4.5 in for Mbemba.
Or Daniels
So lukaku and Daniels for kun and Jones? The next week sort out Mbemba etc?
Or Lacazette instead?
Yeah Lukaku and Daniels. If it leaves 4.4 for Dunk in for Mbemba great. Though feels a bit wrong as I might not go Lukaku myself
Who you going for?
I might go Lukaku but want to do Jesus, Pogba and Kiko in for Aguero, GroB and Jones which I’m favouring
Ritchie to Sane and Kun to Vardy/Firminho for a hit?
Or Kun to Wilson and keep that cash?
Sane and Wilson I would go for mate.
Wait till evenening to do transfers, right?
+1 on that
Yeah after this afternoon’s press conferences but BEFORE TONIGHT’S DEADLINE RAZ!!
Yep there is a game tonight!
We know what you’re like
It will be ZOMG 5 minutes before deadline
I’d would take firmonho on his next game. Good going forward after that though
