Site Team Gameweek 3
Welcome to Site Team Gameweek 3
For a team whose captain blanked (didn’t most?) and not (YET) owning Benrahma, to score a 13-above average 69 points – and a total of 163 points after two – we don’t’ feel too bad with the current position.
We are 677,270 overall and we shall apply the old adage, “You can’t win FPL after the first couple of Gameweeks but you can lose it”.
Now let’s go win it!
Gameweek 2 you remember was the captaincy battle between the two FPL behemoths – Mohamed Salah and Bruno Fernandes – when all along we should have gone with Antonio, Trent or *checks notes* Tsimikas …..
Those three led/dragged our team along with scores of 16, 12 and 11. Only DCL and Raphinha (both 7) with goals and Luke Shaw with his two bonus points (no, really) didn’t blank.
Our Gameweek 2 Result…
Let’s go see what was decided…
We arrive at Gameweek 3 as planned, with 2 free transfers.
We’ve lost a couple of quid and we’ve gained a couple of quid but we haven’t panicked and rushed into anything. ‘Slow and steady’ and all that!
Our Gameweek 3 Transfer(s)
If we asked you to guess what our move (singular) would be based on the above, would you say Barnes to Benrahma?
Well you would be correct.
The move was pretty unanimous and we get in a player in excellent form for one … who isn’t. Simple this game some times.
Kind of now also helps that this is a downgrade (in monetary terms anyway) and we stash a few pennies away into the Ronnie-day fund.
To confirm then we have SOLD HARVEY BARNES and BOUGHT SAID BENRAHMA
Captain – MICHAIL ANTONIO
This one was between the West Ham man and the man who takes up the vice captaincy, Bruno. By 4 votes to one Micha’ takes it.
More Dirty Dancing against Palace please big chap!

Little Red Lacazette
I don’t have Benhrama.
I hope he doesn’t punish me too much.
ODT
Same here.
OddDane
Well, then what did you use that tasty 2nd FT for then?
tiijayz
LOOOL.
Little Red Lacazette
I am rolling it. Plan to use it to help get Ronaldo in gw4.
OddDane
I thought he’d not be ready before gw5. Anyway, so you haven’t done a single transfer? I am thoroughly impressed
Little Red Lacazette
I did one.
Tsimikas->Livramento
OddDane
That one doesn’t count! Go spend that juicy 0.1 on the 2nd one
Goldilocks
Morning all.
Am I good to go? Used my Ft for Torres to Benji. Anything else I need to get done?
OddDane
looks good
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
We’ll need to see if we can get you a better midfielder than Gilmour/Brownhill after the international break.
Fine for today.
Goldilocks
Ha, yes. That is next on the list unless I have to solve the defender issues!
tiijayz
A brace for Harvey Barnes this GW will be good for morale.
OddDane
Yes please
OddDane
No wait. I sold him..!
Loud Atlas
Me too
!
Gear
This would be most welcome
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
This free transfer needs to be used today for a one week punt……
Talk to me folks.
McButcher
Get rid of Tsimi no?
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
I’m wildcarding next week (probably) so he’ll be ditched then.
I was looking for an obvious player for player in the XI to change.
Bruno to Son was on my mind.
OddDane
You mean Salah to Son?
Loud Atlas
I’d go Salah to Son. LIV vs CHE is a hard one to call.
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Both have been OddD
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
That was my initial thought LA
OddDane
Ricardo Pereira for Trent seems a good punt imo, especially if you’re not certain on that wildcard.
Else Son (as Cap’n) for Salah (or Bruno).
Of course Cresswell, Reguilon or even Digne could also be an option for TAA.
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Thanks mate.
I think I’m likiing Salah to Son for free and could captain Son then.
Salah looks as though hes’s dropping in price tonight so I’ll get him for the original price on WC anyway.
Little Red Lacazette
I see nothing to improve in you starting 11.
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
That’s a good sign! Thanks LRL
Jamie Mc
GP,
Spurs have the best fixture so Salah to Son for me.
Are you sure wildcarding is the correct move?
CR7 may need time to adjust and Manchester United fixtures toughen up soon.
Jamie
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Jamie,
Thanks mate, I hope you are well.
Salah to Son I think it’s going to be.
I liked the international break WC idea BEFORE Ronaldo was announced so I think I’ll stick to the plan – but I may need to factor in that now (well I will have to).
Shrivathsa
One less obvious punt would be Armstrong for Wilson.
Armstrong is high on transfers in round. Wilson is high on transfers out in round.
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Shrivathsa
Cheers. That wasn’t what I was expecting to hear but is interesting. That’s why I asked!
photek
if you’ve got some money GP, maybe change sanchez for a week punt
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Thanks photek.
Doesn’t excite me like the upside of Son though.
photek
True mate, I can see the Son appeal
Gear
Salah > Son makes a lot of sense
AllanBrallan
Nooooo!
Loud Atlas
Sweet music to my ears!
AllanBrallan
Put your sweet music where the sun dont shine! And your ears!
Loud Atlas
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
It’s a toe complaint that he has been managing lately so I think he’ll be OK.
AllanBrallan
My bench isnt meant do deal with injuries!
McButcher
Forgot to cut his to nails
McButcher
Toe
AllanBrallan
Or cut them too much. That hurts!
Gear
I’d love for him to drop back down in price the little bugger
Sarri-ball
Going forward, who would be a better pick?
Pereira
Cresswell (excellent fixtures but would mean tripling up on WHU)
Shaw
Digne
OddDane
Those are all decent imo.
Pereira for gw5 is on my list, probably in for Shaw.
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
I think it is Cresswell.
Sarri-ball
Cheers guys…I think Cresswell’s fixtures are too good to ignore… Thanks.
Loud Atlas
Shaw, the assist maestro (sometimes). Ronaldo’s coming and he’s pretty good with his head!
Gear
I’d want Cresswell and Shaw tbh
Sarri-ball
Shaw over James?
