Welcome to our mid-month FantasyFootball 247 Leagues round-up.
Most of us initially will have got into fantasy football through work or friends leagues. Nothing wrong with that, but to really challenge yourself, how about you test your mettle against other Fantasy Football 247 regulars?
Season and Monthly League winners will be awarded a place in our Hall Of Fame – more on that to follow!
The Overall Members League (full season)
With a solid 85 points, Barntons Bashers retain their top position in the main league after GW16. Holding a global ranking of 1,473 and with 1,078 points, they are having a great season, and we are glad to have them setting the bar in our league. Herewegoagain are close behind having moved up to second spot with 1,074 points, and only a further 2 points back, third spot is occupied by Shane-PAIN FC on 1,072 points. New entrant, Robin Van Pricey, are straight in at fourth spot with 1,068 pts, having delivered an impressive 97 points this game week – the highest score of this week’s top 10. James101 make up the top 5, with 1,062 points.
A mere 14 points behind are a 3 man chasing pack, containing second season wonder Michu’s Grassy Ass, and two very experienced managers, Powerful Potty Fc and Cookie’s Monsters, all on 1,048 points. Site regular, Milk and Busquets, follows 4 points off, on 1,044 points, with Norfulk-in-chance closing out our top ten on 1,039. Other notable movers this week include the perhaps misnamed duo, Not so SPECIAL ones and Real Morbid, who both managed to score 103 points, almost double the game-week average of 55 points, moving up to 24th and 31st spots respectively. And no, no Potty Prizes will be awarded for guessing who they captained!
The Monthly League
In top spot at the mid-month point is X Treme, on a very impressive 275 points for the month, including 91 for this game-week. The team’s overall ranking isn’t so high as yet, but with this kind of performance and a team value of £110m we feel that’s going to change fast. In second spot, on 268 points for the month are The Untouchables. Falling to third spot, but only 5 points behind, Killer instincts delivered 263 points in December to date. In fourth spot, on 261 points, are our season league leaders, Barntons Bashers, and Real Morbid rise to fifth on 254 points, lifted by their outstanding game-week.
The Greatest FC enter our rankings at 6, narrowly missing out on a ton, scoring 99 points (unlucky!). In 7th spot this month is James101, with Pimp my Side in eighth spot, at 247 points. Closing out our top ten are Inter ma’nan and Monkeys Nuts.
Many thanks to elleffcee for working out the monthly table – you may notice a slight difference in a couple of the rankings, this is because the monthly charts that are automatically generated do not take all hits into account – clearly these should be factored in to show who’s really performing best.

I need to play one out of Baker, Chester, Ravel or Ward-Prowse this week. Any suggestions? Leaning towards Chester at the moment.
Im so happy I have found this website. Its great to talk to people who share the same interest in fantasy football(being from Canada there isn’t too many of us). Was also chuffed to unexpectedly read about my team in the “FF247 League Round-up Gameweek 16” thread. I will definitely be spending a lot of my future saturdays and sundays here.
Cheers from Canada

We are happy to have you on the site!! And you are not alone, there are several from North America on here. Josh721, Coliries , Me. Hope we can help and judging by your ranking, I hope you can spare a thought for some of our teams.
It’s good to have you buddy, we’ve got a few members dotted around in different time zones so you’ll probably find a group active when you’re about! Mito doesn’t sleep so he’s a regular all day, hence the name 24/7.
Cheers TPIJosh…I get my best fantasy work done while at work, 8am to 4pm Monday to Friday from sunny (frigid) Rhode Island! Glad to have you aboard!
Ok so I put it out there that maybe it was time to get off the Ramsey train. Nin put a good case forward as to why Ramsey was still a must, im still undecided (sorry Nin!).
My midfield is as follows, I need to make up 60pts on the leader of my mini league, I missed GW1 and its my first season of FPL.
Ramsey Hazard Silva Whittingham Ravel
Would a starting midfield of…
Walcott Hazard Silva (Whittingham Ravel) give me edge I need in my league for a few weeks?
#DreamBigAndDareToFail
Dunno about must-have, but at 7.6 he is still the best value mid, or any position maybe, in the league. Personally I am probably going for Wally and Ramsey until early Feb then re-assessing. His form is still good and the fixtures kind
Yep
James, yep… As in have both?
I think you could do worse mate, yeah.
Different players but both serious point scorers in the top team this season.
Theo’s awesome and Ramsey is just too good value…
I really think Wally will perform v Chelski.. If I do sell Ramsey it will cost me 0.6m extra to buy him back at the moment. But I was going to keep Roons for the next 3 game weeks at least due to fixtures and then put Negredo in if he was on form. Stick or twist, that is the question!
I just picked up Roon. Good for a few IMO.
I have to ship out Roons to fund Wally and keep Ramsey. Not possible otherwise.
Shotts – have you brought in Rooney already or not?
Yeah I signed him yesterday Dreamers. Wish I had gone for Negredo so I could of brought in Wally and still kept Ramsey.
