FF247 FPL Team GW11
Welcome to FF247 FPL Team GW11
Tea or Dinner?
Clearing the weekly average by more than just a sliver of daylight was a refreshing change for us in GW10. We scored 57 points which was a full 13 above the average of 44. That’s more like it!
We had three tens, a nine and an eight among our lot and shoutouts go to Kevin de Bruyne, Jack Grealish and Jamie Vardy (all 10) – although JV9 needed the armband to achieve his – then onto Diogo Jota (9) and Ben Chilwell (8).
The rest, well the least said the better with no fewer than FIVE 2-pointers which at least was better than Scott Dann with his big fat zero.
We now look towards next week and the obvious Aston Villa/Newcastle issue which of course affects us too! We have Grealish and Targett missing for this game-week so how do we cope?
Well, with the confidence of a green arrow and a rise of 374,490 in the rankings, we welcome the challenge.
We now reside at 1,674,807 (yeah, great…) with eyes on the top 1 million our next target. What a season, and all that. With two free transfers and a bit of cash in hand (albeit just £0.2m) we should be ok to hurdle this quite easily, shouldn’t we……….
Our GW10 Result…
Let’s go see what was decided…
Our GW11 Transfer(s)
This wasn’t quite as straightforward as anticipated. In fact we were almost stumped at one point. After a few easy weeks in terms of decisions it was perhaps refreshing to finally have a debate on our hands. The good news was that we decided on next weeks moves. The bad news was that this weeks proved rather more difficult.
Rather than talk you through some 357 or so WhatsApp messages allow us to summarise the sequence of events:
Next weeks transfers were decided first, oddly. And not to throw in any spoilers for GW12 but Salah was in the mix, obviously.
Targett was then the target and either Dallas or a Saints defender were coming in. End of.
Until someone woke up and asked about the logic of that given that Dallas faces Chelsea and we already have a Saint in goal.
Plan B seemed to involve Vardy leaving. When he faces Sheffield United…. erm, what?! Suffice to say that was thrown out too.
Back to the drawing board.
Such was the lack of direction or focus another debate broke out instead about whether the evening meal was called tea or dinner. This one has history and dates back many years, with both Cookie and Init getting quite (inexplicably) passionate about it, both then and now. Apparently it’s tea in the north, and most definitely dinner in the ‘posher’ south. For two people who get along so well this is a bizarre dividing point, but seemingly one they are happy to come to blows over. And they did! We’d appreciate feedback on which one it is… we think.
Then an epiphany. Of sorts. JWP had been mentioned along the way and he suddenly became a person of interest again when Mahrez entered the equation. We already have KdB so this would be quite a bold and attacking move and probably rely on City doing Fulham 5-0, which to be fair is not beyond the realms of anyone’s imagination. But poor Ziyech, we barely knew thee.
It gained traction to the point of being passed by the committee. It was flowered up as an attacking stance. So let’s go with that narrative and see how it pans out!
All of which now ruins next weeks transfer plans!!!!
To confirm then we have SOLD Grealish and Ziyech & BOUGHT Ward-Prowse and Mahrez
Captain – KdB
Less confusion about this one, in fact none. We would imagine that most people who own him will come to the same conclusion.

Oi, dinner boy. It’s 2-0 so far :yes: #tea
Course it is, the civilised ones amongst us are still enjoying their dinner/supper, on their
second bottle of wine between courses.
My afternoon tea was great – those finger sandwiches just the ticket.
It’s *Of course it is :acute:
Typical tactics, know the writing is on the wall so resort to nit-picking.
Still 2-0 as far as I can see :wink2:
2-1 😉
I’m really disappointed in you. You know I won’t forget this Kop.
Need some suggestions? 0.0 in the bank and 1FT.
I’m thinking Son to Mahrez and Martinez to Mendy. Usually I wouldn’t take a hit for a goalkeeper but Mendy is probably an upgrade over Martinez and worst case I think it’ll be for a 2 point hit instead of 4. The only concern is Martinez would have 2 games in hand, anyone know when they’ll be rescheduled? I don’t want to waste transfers again to get Martinez back for double gameweek if the fixtures are rescheduled in the near future. Thoughts on my team and moves?
KP, I think Spurs will destroy Arsenal so I’d leave Son there and get Adams for Watkins and play Lamptey.
That’s a great suggestion Cookie. Although I’ll have no one which stands out as a captain choice. Feels like Mahrez vs Fulham should be a better shout than Son vs Arsenal but then again peptation is a little bit of a risk too.
Oh Mahrez is playing alright KP
Wwwwwwwooooooowwwwwww some positive team news from Pep.
Captain KdB should beca starter and fingers crossed fora Carcelo start.
Jamie
Oh and it is dinner in my house north of Hadrian’s Wall.
I.e. What is for dinner, not what is for tea.
Sorry Init,
Jamie
Not necessarily true Jamie.
I’ve done some research and seemingly Edinburgh folks call it tea. But they’re odd anyway.
Oh I see “in your house”. Fair enough pal.
Thought you were speaking for the country there mate
I’ll take the population of Edinburgh.
482,008-1 now.
I’ll believe it when I see it.
I’ve bought & captained Mahrez. Pep won’t let me down! :dunce:
Evening all,
I occasionally call that particular meal ‘dinner’ but will mostly say tea. However I always refer to the “tea time kick off” and the kids eat ‘school dinner’ at lunch time NEVER school lunch.
I shouldn’t be allowed a vote really should I?
I’ll take that as a tea.
3-1 now dinner boy
See what you did there :mosking:
:wink2:
I’m looking for a million quid to make KDB happen for Son.
Ziyech to Jota?
+1
Definitely this!
Thanks all. I’m thinking about just that actually.
Just to spice things up a notch and make it more competitive – we say ‘dinner’ in my house.
Idk why I am entertained by this ‘tea vs dinner’ debate but I really am :popcorn: :laugh2:
That’s a shame, I used to like you as well Tornado. You’re dead to me now :rofl: Oh well… :butcher:
403,008-2
Oh, nooo 😯 Uhm, I think I misspelled ‘tea’.. :laugh2:
