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.

Morning All
Team for GW11; good to go?
Is Mitchell likely to start?
No
I don’t think so but I’m starting him. Palace have conceded a lot since he came out of the side
Took a hit for Jesus and kdb but didn’t fix non playing defender’s. Risky mate.
Also taking out Spurs coverage.. which I’m considering… but Kane and Son could wreck Arsenal.
Its possible Kilman starts in a 5 this gw. if you believe that, you are good. If you dont, you have a player short
I’m seeing many Ziyech to Mahrez…. while I have both(missing anything?).
Also undecided on captaincy; Werner, Mahrez, Ziyech or J Rodriguez(yeah I still own him).
Also made a very weird transfer(Ait Nouri –> Clyne) with Grealish and Wilson on the bench.
I read two different things in the last week re Zitech
1) a concern that as good as he is, he is not fpl good and assists the assister
2) He is up there with who has created the most big chances
Another option guys… Gerealiseerd to JwP and Son to KdB? This instead of losing Kane to Jesus and son to Kdb?
Got inspired by Raz and took a second hit to bring Mendy.
It’s Christmas after all :drinks:
Who had you Ivan?
Do you believe Cancelo starts?
It was replacement for Steer who was preventing me to have another Villa player.
I am prepared to see Cancelo benched again but hoping he miraculously starts.
If inspired look up and help. Haha.
8ph for a GK? 😯
I hope it’s worth it! :good:
That’s like reading it backwards. You would get KdB and Jesus for a hit…
Non playing goalie a playing goalie is-2, usually. Haha.
Anyway went Grealkish Mahrez and Martinez to Mendy.
Sorry… wasn’t a response to me.
LA, it’s very likely I will be with minus defender (Cancelo) so, hopefully if not a CS Mendy could save a penalty or a few saves to pay back the hit.
I just don’t know anymore. Haha.
Decided.My team. -4…
Is it okay?
Well done. Now, open that bottle and congratulate yourself :drinks:
Tnx mate. Was the hardest transfer window ever.
+1, I think you have to keep one at least of Kane or Son, they are pretty much fixture proof this season.
Already done Maupay out for Bamford but which do you prefer of Grealish out for Mahrez or Son out for KDB for a hit? Feel I need that City coverage as I’ll be capping them. 0FT 3.0 ITB
