Site Team Gameweek 2
Welcome to Site Team Gameweek 2
The 2021/22 season is underway and we’ve started off in a very handsome manner indeed; 94 points and a rank of 817,700. Although this wasn’t the opening century achieved by many of our friends, had you offered us 25pts above the average prior to GW1, we’d have snapped your hand off (in true Football Clichés style).
Despite the best efforts of our shameful Five (Barnes with 3pts, Toney with 2pts and Bachmann, Shaw and Raphinha all just a solitary 1pt) who tried their damndest to bring down the average, our other six (who had clearly read the briefing) brought home the bacon. Nice.
Double Liverpool at the back got us off to a solid start; a clean sheet win at Carrow Road bringing in a solid 12pts between Trent and the self-anointed ‘Greek Scouser’ Tsimikas.
Up top, DCL opened his account for the season, and the members of our team who voted him in as our late Watkins replacement have a justifiable ‘smug face’, although in fairness, the alternative (Danny Ings) also did the business, I digress. Michail Antonio proved to be a sound pick; 13 points for an all-around performance at St James’ that even a penalty miss could not diminish, we knew he’d be a great pick and won’t apologise for it!
Finally, onto Bruno and Salah ©. They did alright, I suppose.
Our Gameweek 1 Result…
Let’s go see what was decided…
Our Gameweek 2 Transfer(s)
Such was the contentment with our opening performance and squad in genera (as it stands), that none of our management team suggested a transfer. Which is about as much of a conclusive ‘save and move’ as you’ll find.
Don’t ask us what our plan is moving forward (we have nothing) but we do like the idea of having two freebies in GW3 and an opportunity to go FPL high-end shopping.
To confirm then we have SAVED OUR FREE TRANSFER
Captain – MOHAMED SALAH
Once more (of course), it came down to the two midfield gladiators, and in a vote of seven, it’s the Egyptian who faces Burnley at home with the armband firmly wrapped around his upper arm. In case you’re interested, the vote ended 5-2. At one point it was 3-2, it could have gone either way, but in the end, the last two votes went the way of the Liverpool man. Bruno takes the VC.

***NEW ARTICLE – SITE TEAM GW2***
Good start, remain steady, see it through etc etc.
What a hellishly infernal rythm of publication! No sooner had one read and commented on the previous article than the next was released under one’s nose! Good on you site team- I ain’t movin on trades till you do! A Mexican standoff of sorts! Een tho you outnumber me!
We’ll be like kids in the sweetshop with our two FT’s next week no doubt!!
Bit risky no man city perhaps?
It’s a risk we are willing to take! We are very brave like that!!
Me too!
Hi all. I’m thinking of holding my transfer. Only thing I thought about doing was swapping foster for Steele perhaps. Other than that am I missing anything ? Thanks all
Team looks good there, I wouldn’t swap over your GK unless absolutely necessary.
If it was me I would bank the free transfer
Hold it.
Swapping a 4.0 non playing keeper for another 4.0 is a waste of a transfer. Roll it.
Looks good to roll!
Thanks all
Seems logical to roll it, will cookie be doing his diary this year?
Good team, good hold on the transfer. Good luck this week!
Thanks Pippin!
Hi Gang, I hope you’re all keeping well.
I’m going to hold this week and then decide what to do next week with 2 fts.
Should I start Digne or Coufal? Thanks
Neilos
Tough one. I think neither may get a clean sheet, both have good attacking prospects. Lots of chat this week that Benitez is prioritising slinging crosses in for DCL, so mabe Digne is the better shout against a somewhat shaky Leeds back line?
Cheers Pippin
I’d go with the D
