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…

Morning all
I’ve used my transfers and have 0.6ITB do I take a hit and get rid of Ota? Will he start? Will have £6m to spend, any thoughts?
Thanks
Personally I got rid for a hit
Who did you bring in?
Ok, so I’ve done one of these either very dumb or very brave moves in trading Salah for Sterling in order to keep KdB (planned move all week was to do KdB for Sterling for free because as sideways move as that looks I think Raheem’s form can’t be ignored). The idea is to perhaps keep Salah out of the team for the City game next week too and then ship DeBruyne for their arguably worst set of fixtures and just go with Sterling and Salah as my mid premiums from there. Planning too aehad I know. Have Robbo and TAA to compensate somehow the missing Salah. Dumb or Brave?
LOVE that DMC
I’ll take that as “brave” move then! :)) cheers GP
Morning all
Soy or Lundy
Jorginho or Dunk / Cantwell
Happy green arrows
I’ve gone Lundy.
Too close to call, Dunk maybe given Cantwell has a yellow flag
Not seeing much love for Lundstram on here, with suggestions of benching him compared to other players – do you reckon Sheff U will concede against Burnley?
Swirly – I have just benched Pukki for him. I thing Sheffield keep Burnley at bay. Who are you contemplating?
Yeah, I have a feeling Sheff U will keep Burnley out too, was just intrigued by a lot of people saying he should be benched when looking at other teams. As it stands, I’ve got Tomori on the bench with Connolly starting, but I’m still not sure about that!
I’m playing Lundstram over Soyuncu.
apparently Leicester don’t have a good record against Palace and Burnley at Home is pretty decent for Sheffield who defend well
I think the reason why Lundstram is being benched is the fact that Burnley have scored in every single match this season except for Liverpool. So on that basis, you can’t expect a clean sheet.
Having said that, SHU have a decent defensive record, and Lundstram is OOP. So he is in my starting 11.
That argument doesn’t really make sense. I mean they can obviously still score but Sheffield have the best defence in the league with only 8 conceded (the same as Liverpool), so the fact they didn’t score vs Pool says they won’t score vs Sheffield either. Barnes Hattie in coming then!
Never bench big John!
I am playing him!
What’s everyone doing with Kun? Is he worth giving the armband or should I stick with Sterling? wacko
Lol Manu. You’ve been ignored twice. I’ll answer. I replaced him with Vardy a couple of weeks ago ago. That worked out. This gameweek he could score big though. Like every week. I would hold if I had him today. After this gw maybe bye bye.
Cheers Raz, nice to be heard lol. Would you give him the armband though?
Good morning peeps
Is it worth pea & Yarmalenko for martial & Vardy for a hit ???
Good moves, I like it.
Although I have a feeling Arsenal will do well today.
Advice to roll ft ??
