FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW11
Welcome to FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW11. What a strange old week that proved to be. So many players not playing for so many managers and so many diverse scores on the boards ranging from the Salah shunners to some posting treble digits. We were somewhat in the middle of those and ended up on 71 which was 13 above the overall average and 2 above the Top 10k one. It meant another green arrow, albeit a small one again, as we moved from 104k to 92k overall.
Last week’s success stories were Fraser and Alonso both posting 11 points, Mendy grabbing 6 and Richarlison a 5. And of course our transfer in of Salah in place of Hazard was the biggest of all as he came home with 30 captain points for us.
On the downside we had high hopes for both Robertson and King and ultimately neither featured which left us with a couple of Palace defenders coming off the bench, which was never going to be ideal given their fixture, and so it proved as both managed a solitary point. Moura, Vardy and Aguero managed to amass 4 points between them all!
Let’s go take a peek behind the stained curtain and see how long it took for the white smoke to emerge this week…
Last Week’s Result
This week’s transfer decision…
Oooof, interesting! The word ‘wildcard’ was used for the first time this week. Initially it was simply an opening suggestion that it may be something to look at ‘soon’ but then quickly escalated from garnering an actual vote to do it this week to a full blown discussion on who the core players in any hypothetical one may indeed be.
For the record the 7 core players suggested and generally agreed on were; Robertson, Alonso, Mendy, Salah, Mane, Hazard and Aguero. Which is obviously a pipe dream given their values but certainly 6 of them are achievable if you leave out Kun. Which then looks a mightily dangerous proposition. Or does it…?! It cetainly does this week anyway but more on him later.
As for our ‘wildcard voter’ he did try to pull the wool over some eyes with a sneaky suggestion that he somehow had a majority vote and was good to go! Now I’m not calling him out here by any means, and I’ve been frowned at previously for sharing private conversations publicly, but it’s a fine balance because some people do enjoy the occasional peek behind the curtain. And when it’s funny it’s always worth a share! #sh*ttymaths….
Back to reality though, the wildcard suggestion was taken as just that and summarily shelved for another day but it was good to at least consider it as we have a number of players who are either running into bad fixtures or indeed potential rotation issues, namely; Patricio / Hamer, Wan-B, Tom(p)kins, Moura, Fraser and King.
Sans any WC then, this week’s vote was actually a fairly straight forward affair. Despite us basically having had a gun to this guy’s head pretty much all season it does come with a smidgen of regret that we are finally dispensing with the services of Josh King. Sorry Josh, you’ve frustrated and delighted in almost equal measure but with your fixtures turning a bit and West Ham’s going the other way we thought it was best to finally call an end to this rocky and sometimes (definitely on our part!) abusive relationship.
And so we welcome in a player who has scored 0, 1, 1 and 0 in four of West Ham’s last five games, a glowing recommendation if ever there was one! We will however caveat this by saying that he did actually miss two of those games through injury / illness (gets better doesn’t it!), but also that in his last few actual appearances, Brighton and Spurs particularly come to mind, he’s been massively unlucky not to score at least one, maybe more. Point is that he’s passed the eye test as sometimes scores like the above can put you off unless you know the full story.
To confirm then we have SOLD:JOSH KING & BOUGHT: MARKO ARNAUTOVIC
The Team In Full…
Our Captain is Sergio Aguero
Truth be told we didn’t even bother voting on this one! Sparky’s in for a spanking and it should simply be a case of how many for City, and hopefully then by association Aguero.
For the record Salah was a unanimous choice as Vice.

King out…
Wilson stays on pens then
King hell! Have to rely on Private Fraser to get us through – Bournemouth isn’t quite a Dad’s Army team yet though! Do they have anyone called Pike or Mainwaring playing for them?
Sergeant Wilson no good?! :big-lol:
Good call! . Wasn’t he the one who was with Mrs Pike?
Don’t panic!
Corporal Jones (5.2m) is still struggling to make it into the dodgy Man U defence
He was the butcher wasn’t he? Always made dodgy illusions to the Khyber Pass! Ah 70s telly!
GTG or play Jimenez and bench Doherty?
Ederson
Robertson Alonso Mendy Doherty
Maddison Hazard Mane Richalison
Wilson Aguero
Boruc Jimenez Hojbjerg AWB
Hey Little Red, given that Doherty looks as attacking as Jimenez, I’d say you’re GTG.
Cheers Cookie and good luck this GW.
thanks Little Red, you too mate
I’ve got to find 1.1 mill, so it looks like this for me.
Mane or Salah out ?
Mahrez or Dilva in ?
Leaning toward Mane/Dilva.
Morning Elle,
yet you’ll surely want Mane back next week?
Yip. But i need 1.1mill.
don’t we all?
Back to the drawing board.
why do you need 1.1mln?!
Cookie, thinking Arnie in for Ings.
I would keep both Mane and Salah, especiall for GW12.
Hi Elle. I got an almost identical outfield team as you. Ricarlison and Docherty for your Theo and Bennett. If I had funds I would probably ship Ings for Arnie. I am probably going to save the transfer.
Hey guys, I took a hit earlier in the week to bring KDB and Mane in, very wise move now, anyway is he definitely out do we know? I may be tempted to use my wc now or should I do one more transfer for -8 or just leave as is? Thanks guys.
Patricio,
Alonso, Robertson, Mendy
Mane,KDB,Fraser,Hazard
Kun Wilson,Arnie
Subs: Sperroni,WanB,Stephens,Peltier.
man u man,
no way KDB plays this weekend, but wait to see what Pep says at lunchtime anyway. They may still be waiting on test results, but given he played 90mins last night anyway he won’t play vs Southampton.
Given that Stephens plays at Everton (2pts prob?) and WB plays at Chelsea (1pt prob?) you could take a punt on David Silva home to Southampton or even Mahrez? Either has a better than even chance of paying for that next hit.
You do need to stop these early hits though mate, esp with games being played midweek after you have made your moves. Recipe for disaster.
Cheers Cookie. I know, I’m like a bold child, I just don’t listen. I need to forget about player’s values rising and dropping I think.
yeah defo – easy to say with hindsight though!
Cookie, according to the Graun, KDB should be back within 6 weeks.

So people could just bench him till he’s back
Good morning guys
Pls RMT. I already trans Hennessey to Fab
1ft left roll or do u see any more changes to be made ??
Cheers
Phoenix, probably leave it be and have another look with 2fts next week.
Thanks man
Morning All
King the one who needs to be shipped out….But ive 0ITB
Best to just bench him this week and do two moves next week or is there someone worthwhile at 6.4m
superstruggler, unless you join the Success bandwagon and massively downgrade then you really need a few more shekels to afford the likes of Murray, Arnie etc…..
Success has only really seen decent gametime while Deeney has been missing so I’m reluctant to advise him….unless you want to play 3-5-2 or 4-4-2 on a regular basis. Which is obviously your call.
Cheers Cookie
I could take a hit and do king and hazard to aguero and Barkley
No don’t lose Hazard, especially if Sarri confirms he’s back this weekend.
I’d probably leave it alone and let Stephens or WB come in – not ideal but easier to fix for free next week.
Cheers Cookie
Following on from what Cookie said, I’d just move Stephens to first sub on your bench. He’ll probably only get one point more then Wan-Bissaka, but it’s worth doing.
