Plan B.
Welcome to FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW13.
They say a week is a long time in politics, which must therefore translate to ‘a fortnight must be a lifetime in FPL’ for two cracking game-weeks has taken us from a season long low in GW10 to a season’s best rank after GW12. Like many we were indebted to our Leicester coverage for our success. New recruit and insta-captain Vardy returned 24pts while Soyuncu at the back weighed in with an 8pter. Goals from Mane, Abraham and Jimenez and at last a clean sheet from Pope saw us score 75pts and we now have a global rank of 25,280th. And we still have two free transfers to use this week! Therefore, all is looking positive and rosy, what could possibly go wrong?!
Our GW12 Result…
Let’s go see what was decided…
Our GW13 Transfer(s)
Not only did we have two free transfers but we also had a whopping £3.3m in the bank to play with after our recent ‘fund raising’ activities. Which is where the fun began this week because not one of us could actually remember who we were saving up for! You’ll have to forgive us, it’s been a long IB and we are getting older!
We have some semblance of recall that it may have been KDB but if it was then we must have been relying on some interest payments because we are still short of that one unless we let another big asset go and we are perfectly happy with all of those right now. In theory Digne could have left along with Mount or McGinn to accommodate it but in all honesty we like the fixtures of all three this week, for varying reasons.
Onto Plan B then and the one thing we do seem to have been lacking / missing out on a bit is some Liverpool full-back cover, or a 5th / 6th midfielder as some prefer to think of them as. With Liverpool’s upcoming fixtures looking favourable in terms of both goals and potential clean sheets we have decided to invest some of our cash at the back. Ideally we would have sold Lucas Digne as his and Everton’s fixtures go in completely the opposite direction after this week, but with Norwich at home he has a final reprieve before we most likely wave him on his merry way next week. Given as we already have Pope in goal and seem to be showing little desire to ever actually double up with both him and Pieters then it was decided that the latter should leave.
So just the one transfer which means that we will arrive with two of the bad boys again next week.
To confirm then we have SOLD Erik Pieters and BOUGHT Trent Alexander-Arnold
Captain – Jamie Vardy
As obvious as this one sounds the vote was actually split with both he and Sterling getting 50% a-piece initially, before one of Raheem’s fans had a last minute change of mind, and so Vardy takes our armband down to Brighton to hopefully wreak havoc once more. And put us on a par with the other 95% of people who will have it on him…..

**NEW ARTICLE – SITE TEAM GW13**
It’s what you’ve all been waiting for 😉
Thanks for the article. Brave move benching Lundstram.
Perfect :good2:
What a rank as well.
Going great lads!
I’ve asked this earlier in the week but you’ll have to humour me as I can’t find it now plus obviously the Salah news is a movable feast.
What would anyone do here please, I’m in about 6 different minds. 2FT’s, 1.5 ITB.
1. Cantwell to Pérez
2. Connolly to say Deulofeu or someone >6.2.
3. Salah & Connolly to Maddison / Martial / KDB / any mid & Jimenez
4. Any other suggestions welcome.
TIA
Another option which may work:
Aurier and Cantwell to Rico and Tielmans?
Sorry Stone, thank you!
Anyone?! :close_tema:
I would do this;
3. Salah & Connolly to Maddison or KDB / & Jimenez
That was sort of my preference too. Until….
Hey Init. Cantwell to Perez is the one that jumps out at me – Chilwell seems to be on blinding form and at some point Perez is surely going to learn to run toward the back post where his crosses go :yes:
I liked that too. But….
Init – go for gold…..
Salah & Connolly out….
Maddison & Kane in.
+1 love it
Or upgrade Aurier to TAA
Option 3 also good
This could be genius Cookie!!! :excited:
Didn’t even think of it as a possibility. It actually works too.
That is a sexy team. You just know Mourinho is going to get a Kane goal tomorrow.
Jose loves a big striker….Drogba, Zlatan, Lukaku…..
Plus the fixtures are there.
If it doesn’t work downgrade him to Jimenez or virtually anyone else. But it could just be the flier to soar you up the rankings before the masses find a way of jumping on board.
I don’t think I need convincing. Not often you get a RMT answered and just go ‘bingo’. It’s a ‘new manager bounce’ risk as such but he’s made the right noises and it does feel right / ripe. And if there’s any beneficiary it will surely be Kane. Plus West Ham are bending over left, right and centre!
Interesting move. Before I saw this I was going in Son’s direction for that new manager bounce thing but you may be on to something here, jumping early on Kane. Surely his playing deep days are over now? He has a bit of form too. At least with England which suggests that in the right mind frame and tactic he can get back to being … Kane! I’ll go see my team now.
Oh the beauty of that team :jumpy:
+ 1. pure beauty
Think you’ve done very well there Init.
Well done Cookie 😎
was going to suggest option 3 but Cookie’s suggestion is great here! awesome team this is
My GW13 team.
Looks good to me Terminator :good2:
Hey all. 1FT, zero ITB – roll it and give myself some flexibility next week when I’ll probably do Lascalles to £3.9m Winston Reid to raise some funds?
Cheers
Robbo
Looks good, you can roll the FT, it depends on who you are thinking of getting in case there are any prices rises.
Agree you should roll the FT but I don’t think Reid is a good idea. Need a good bench to deal with the pending sh!tstorm of Xmas fixture congestion rotation and BGW18.
evening all. current squad below. have 2ft and 0.1itb
was initially thinking cantwell to dendoncker and have 2ft for next week but can do any of the moves below instead
1. kdb to maddison or tielemans and pieters to taa
2. kdb to maddison or tielemans and pieters to robertson (assuming he is given the all clear tomorrow)
what should i go with here?
Eresh, you buy TAA over Robertson all day long with Robbo having this persistent ankle injury.
true cookie. that is the sensible option. who do you rate more between tielemans and maddison?
Eresh, probably Maddison due to set pieces but it depends what you can do with that extra million.
cheers cookie. would have done mount to pulisic next week but 0.1 short. think ill do taa and maddison tomorrow. thanks for your advice mate
I’d go with 1 for the reasons mentioned
