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.

I’m up against the might of site team in the FF247 Championship. Doubling down on an 11 with double City will be tough to play against, I’ve got none (well, I have Cancelo I suppose).
I could use a result, I’m slipping in this one. Good luck everyone this week.
Solid team there, good luck!
Sounds like the discussions started around afternoon tea, passed on through dinner and into supper! :yes: :mosking:
Site team will do well. Double City and Kane + Vardy.
Tea!
Gtg?
Thanks
Very solid :yes:
Thanks
Great team.
Would you do castagne to walker here for a hit?
Yea that’s worth it I reckon
Alan – what money have you?
1,6
if you sold Steer for a 4.5 keeper (MCarthy or Johnson) , and play Bellerin
Bellerin “should” get 2 at least
New keeper should get at least 2
As an alternative to your plan , you at least break even but you have two chances of more than just 2
Nah. Won’t take a hit to bring in a 4,5 keeper that rarely gets more than 2 points.
McCarthy has 4.2 points per game
I dont see an overall reason to not play Bellerin.
Bellerin will play.
But i’m still one player short unless i play brewster. Or mitchell but his minutes aremore than a doubt
No wait, i’m confused here!
No wait again! I’m not!! WTF!?
I see how you are confused
It was me :big-lol:
For some reason I thought you were benching Bellerin and were taking a hit for the Leicester guy when you didnt need to
Original plan is solid
I give up! I’ll play brewster! Got a feeling that this is his time to shine!
Or Dias (he’s cheaper)?
Morning guys
A bit of help plz.. I am happy with my team however is it risky having mahrez as captain as I have a few choices.. who would you cappo in this team:
1. Mahrez
2. Vary
3. Fernandez
4. Take a hit and get KDB
Thanks
Pep confirmed he will play so why not
Oh did he.. so mahrez is in?
Worth a punt on majrez as cap??
“I need the strikers to score goals. Riyad Mahrez scored three goals against Burnley and tomorrow he’s going to play. Because he scored a lot of goals. The guys who score goals are going to have more chance to play. The guys who don’t make mistakes behind are going to play. This is about the performance, not about the quality. The quality we know they have, they are top players but it’s about performance. The performance has to be better and better than the day before.”
if I had him, I’d certainly consider him. I’d prob still captain KDB but if you dont have KDB, then why not
Mahrez
