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…

Hardly the Salah of last season so that move isn’t as crazy as it may have been at one time.
I like it.
He’s getting a hat-trick today.
“Remember this tweet”
You know me better than that :wink2:
Still abroad so a bit out of touch with what’s happening all things FPL and stuck for ideas. Thoughts on Ceballos>Traore?
2FTs £0.8 ITB
Wouldn’t you be better getting rid of Digne for a cheaper defender. N use those funds to upgrade Ceballos to a more attacking midfielder in a better team ?
Mount or James or Maddison?
I agree
Thanks guys makes perfect sense
I got rid of Dinge a few weeks ago, he is Evertons best player, but doing nothing fantasy-wise and if you need a fourth DEF Rico is playing pretty consistent.
I’m going Lascelles.
Is my team selection good to go?
Any changes in starting 11 or bench?
Used my FT to bring in Connolly just for this week considering my bench was pathetic for this GW.
Thanks in advance.
Good to go.
Looks good. But leaning on Lund over Soy.
Yes that’s my conundrum too.
Going with this.
Very strong. Nice pattern as well
Yeah! How did you get the players arranged in such a uniform pattern? Extremely jealous! This is perfect! Hope colour coordination brings mass points!. Cheers!
There’s a way to do that
You gotta sub the players and bring em into the main team in a particular order.
Lundstrom over Soy
Can’t decide between Mount, Tielemans, or Martial? Leaning towards Martial at the moment.
Mount
I’d prob say martial, Tielemans and Mount in that order.
Not helpful are we
I can see martial been a key buy at the minute
Martial would be the riskier pick of the 2. But would pay more dividends if he clicks.
I’d go safe with Mount for now and look to bring in Martial in the coming weeks as your 5th mid by downgrading Robbo?
Would give you time to asses Martial as a viable option
Good luck to all this weekend.
Bench order player selection right?
Pope
TAA Lundstram Tomori
Mane Sterling(C) Mount Cantwell
Abraham Wilson Vardy
Button Söyüncü Diop Cleverly
Could make a case for Leicester keeping Palace out and for Soyuncu to play ahead of Cantwell. I think I would in fact.
