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…

*** NEW ARTICLE ***
Not the most straightforward of weeks that to utilise 2 free transfers, so we agonised and ended up just using one of them!
Peruse means edit not announce… :slaphead:
I do know – already edited now go eat your sandwich.
***NEW ARTICLE – SITE TEAM GW11***
We didn’t know what to do. But we did something. Salah hat-trick incoming! :punish: :rofl:
No team news, or did I miss an announcement? Thanks.
None this week unfortunately, everyone is on holiday! Myself included. Occasionally these things have to take preference.
Thanks, Init. The squabbling over the site team more than makes up for it!
You can probably check out the Guardian online. Click on Sport then Football. You’ll see a sort of general article ( dunno what it’s entitled this week) about the upcoming games and press conferences. Cheerio!
Aah finally the team. There it is? What? Sideways transfer? Crazy.
By the way. Why is everyone so sold on Jimenez and Wolves?
Fix. is good…Wolves is expected to do well…no guarantee though…I probably switch to Vardy in couple of weeks if I see Wolves not improving.
Can’t say I’m a fan of it either but what alternatives would you have done Raz?
To this team or my own?
I’d take the Kun route to fund the rest of the team. I did that two weeks ago. Though he can easily score a hatty this gw
.. Like every gameweek.
Think I’ll end up with three pool players and one city for the upcoming games.
The Site Team. Selling Kun was chucked out early doors. For this week. Next week he may well leave, not this though.
Thanks Guys.
I must say that I am a bit surprised that Digne is still there. Fixtures don’t look great and anyone that delivers a -1 deserves to be dumped
We are keeping him given Everton’s next couple of games after this one. Then he can leave. Had City not got Liverpool and Chelsea next he’d have probably gone for Mendy.
Great to see the site team progress. Do I need to make a transfer here? I have 1 ft and 3.1 ITB.
Don’t think a transfer is required but I would play McGinn ahead of Rico.
Yeah looking at that GP. I’m playing them off each other, Rico has done good for me the past few weeks but I guess McGinn could outscore him.
McGinn to Mount or Martial ?
