FF247 FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW11
An Englishman, an Irishman and Nostradamus walk into Cash Converters…
Welcome to FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW11. Where do we begin? As you may remember from last week’s article, we toyed with the idea of selling Kun & Mount for Vardy & KdB. If some of the committee members hadn’t (literally) fallen asleep during the meeting we may have made those very transfers, but we’ll never know now.
Let’s forget about what could have been and concentrate on what did happen. We registered a paltry 51pts which in itself wasn’t horrendous and was actually 2pts above the average but it wasn’t enough to prevent a 4th red arrow in a row. Anymore and we’ll have enough for our very own aerobatic team. We now sit at 181,371st.
We at least got our captain right as Sterling returned 22pts. The only others to return more than two points were Soyuncu (6), Salah (7), Mount (5) and Abraham (5). Lucas Digne chipped in with a -1.
With 2FT’s at our disposal we move on to GW11. Is drastic action required to stop our slide?!
Our GW10 Result…
Let’s go see what was decided…
Our GW11 Transfer(s)
It seems like Groundhog Day at the moment, every time we land on 2FT’s we seem to be scratching around as to how to not actually waste one of them. There were plenty of suggestions but none that actually grabbed the group collective. Digne to Mendy was mooted, as was Kun to Vardy, Martial was mentioned as coming in, Mount was mentioned as potentially leaving. All had their flaws though. The dilemma was probably best summed up as; “For the numpties in our squad we don’t have enough (cash) to replace them with decent alternatives”.
For the record, the Mendy move was approved for this week, but a look at their respective future fixtures suggested that this was perhaps a one week wonder.
It’s difficult to explain what we actually did in the end as it wasn’t universally liked but rather got through due to a lack of anything else to do and a sound arguement for doing it. Looking ahead we need a bit of cash, for things like a Liverpool defender and a ‘KDB’, and so a rather sideways move of Salah to Mane was put forward, simply to begin raising said funds. The argument itself was as follows; “two similar players, pretty much like for like scoring, going into the Christmas period and one is carrying an injury. The other is 0.5m cheaper”. The counter argument was chilling in it’s Nostradamus style prose; “I’d go with it only I have a terribly nagging Salah hat-trick feeling this week!”. Gulp. This already smacks of Vardy-gate Part 2!
To confirm then we have SOLD Mo Salah and BOUGHT Sadio Mane
Captain – Raheem Sterling
Nothing complicated, revolutionary or controversial about this one, Raheem swept up all the votes. We probably shouldn’t have to explain why, and therefore won’t.
Sadio Mane, our (definitely) complicated, (possibly) revolutionary and (slightly) controversial purchase got the Vice armband, probably just to make those who voted for his inclusion feel a bit better about it all. Before Salah bags his hat-trick…

This is me. Best of luck all!
Have a great weekend
And when Saints score tonight…. 😎
Although I can’t see Ota starting so you might not actually have a double City defense, Tomori is a good one to have off the bench in that case though! Good luck!! :good:
Not too bothered really, Zed – not taking it too seriously this year… And my weekend state of mind is much better for it!
Yeah I completely get it, I’m doing something very similar this season, my weekends have been a lot better thus far, with the family and all, FPL used to drain too much of my energy but now it’s all good, win or lose, who cares it’s just fun to play the game :good:
Good luck AT.
I’d find space for Tomori if that were me.
Looking good, AT!
Thanks all. God knows what will happen to Ota, so Tomori might come on!
Sterling TC – am I mad?
No. Normally you’d do it in a double game week. But his form, SOU form, and him not playing midweek = potentially a good score.
I should add that I’m not TCing him this week!
If it feels right, go for it! I tend to wait until the DGWs but then we have seen already what the likes of Vardy and others can manage in one game!
Ok, GL to all! Cmonn rahim!
Not mad, it’s a gambling game, you gotta gamble a bit as well, Sterling might get a hatty which is all you want from a TC, it would be amazing score!!
Although of course I should add that I am leaving it until the DGWs, probably Salah in a DGW if Pool get one!
Easier to score 3 goals in 180mins (even in 150mins) than in 90mins!
Guys, which three would you play out of these?
Perreira (Leicester don’t have a good record v Palace)
Tomori (Chelsea aren’t good at keeping clean sheets)
Connolly (might not start)
Lundstram (Burnley have scored in all but one)
Connolly – highest ceiling imo
As in, you’d bench Connolly?
Yep
Pereira, Tomori and Lundstram*
*like me.
What GP said!
Good to go here?
Best of luck everyone! Here’s to FPL going better than the World Cup Final! #fingerscrossed
Dull game of penalties for 70 mins – glad I went to parkrun and missed the first 35 mins!
