The Banterbury H2H Leagues are now in their second season and were originally formed to give a few of us seasoned FF managers a real challenge, and what started of as one H2H league soon turned into 4 leagues, due to its popularity
Based on the English league format we now have a Premier League, Championship, League 1, & League 2 with promotion & relegation (3 up, 3 down) with a knockout Cup run every 5 gameweeks. I also added a new competition this year “The Banterbury Shield” (where the top 4 teams in each league at Christmas qualify for a 2nd half of the season Champions League type format).
At the start of this season I had so many managers wanting to enter the leagues that we had to open a Qualification League with the top 3 teams at the end of the season earning a invite into the H2H Leagues for the next season.
Premier
It was a nightmare game-week for the top 4, as they all suffered defeat. Bottom of the table  Killer Instincts pulled off the biggest shock by beating pace-setters Cookie’s Monsters 89-77, while defeats for Reubens Rioters, Where’s The Dosh? & Bocadillo Allstars have seen them all slip a couple of places to 4th, 5th& 6th. New boys to the Premier, Arsene’s Boys, move up to 2nd and reigning Champions, Park Bench Exports, now sit 3rd  and both have joined Cookie Monsters at the top, albeit with a much inferior goal difference. Eddy Hitler XI lose a tight game to Buzz’s Bomb Squad 55-54 but stay 7th and wins for Gasco’s athletic, Horse FC, I LOVES THE CAKE & Pork n Cheese United keep them all in the hunt for a Shield place come Christmas, At the bottom two of the leagues big guns are now in the drop zone – THE MUTTS NUTS hit the bottom as they lose again, their 10th defeat in 12 outings, but the bigger shock is to see last season 3rd place Kop Warriors fall into the relegation spots zone. Wins for Kojak’s Fireball & Buzz’s Bomb Squad see them move 4 points clear of the bottom 5, who if they are not careful could become involved in their own mini league for survival

Championship
The top spot in this League seems to change hands every week, This week elleffcee has the honour, with WhoIsRonaldo dropping to 4th after a 69-66 defeat to FC Tom Tomsk. James 101 falls out of a Shield place to 5th losing 85-69 to Buzzilona, Gallowgators move up to 2nd, while Real Morbid climbs  three places to 3rd after winning the derby in the Kirk household and leaving his dads team, Pathético Morbid, rock bottom. A win for Son of a Pitch sees them take 7th spot & will now see him eyeing a Shield place. Down at the bottom, The Gallant Pioneers lose again and drop back into trouble, Red Magic win but stay in the bottom 3, Mito’s Mercenaries lose 82-56 to Balotellibubbies, meaning they swap places and twitter maestro Mito is now sitting just one place above the drop,

League 1
Well what can we say about the Powerful Potty FC? Still breaking every Banterbury league record in the book with 11 wins & a draw from his 12 games, they are now  just one win from almost certainly being the first team guaranteed a spot in the Banterbury Shield in the New Year. We love Manchester remain in 2nd and in pursuit of Potty, while Monty (CazDaz) & CFC (Awesome)  swap places in 3rd & 4th. Bodene’s Army win again to stay 5th, wins also for Bradbury Park Avenue & DavesRedDevils see them move up to 6th & 7th. Elsewhere wins for Fergie’s Henchmen, Nosgoth, Slumdog Mignolet & Sporting Abeergut move them away from the danger zone. The five teams at the bottom all lost so there is no change, with poor Nifty’s Hotshots  in 19th losing 9 in a row & The Special One remain in perilous position having lost 10 out of their last 11.

League 2
Norfulk-in-chance made up for last week’s defeat to win this game-week and still holds top position, while WhiteBoysDay lost to Wavey Squad & drop from 2nd to 5th with Wavey taking his place in 2nd. E For Idiot & CR win and they make up the top 4. Elsewhere, wins for Manlet FC & Denbow’s Degenerates move them to 6th & 7th. At the bottom, Prata manages to get off the foot for the first time this season and replacing him are destroyers, though all the bottom 5 are on 12 points so a few victories will see any of them climb into safety and away from relegation and the horror of losing their Banterbury Leagues status.

I dont follow Portugese football so would any1 care to give me the lowdown on Jackson Martinez. Is he as good as how Falcao was when he was there?
He’s not as good as Falcao, who I think is one of the top strikers of the world, but he is also quite good, has very good skills and scores a lot of goals. He has now 8 goals in 11 games in the Portuguese league and Porto has been under performing this season. Last season (his 1st at the club) he scored 26 in 30 league games, more than Falcao or Hulk have scored in the previous seasons. Could be a decent signing for Chelsea but I can’t understand why Mourinho would want a 4th striker, unless one or even two of them go out next January.
got my mail for the qualification league!!!
unfortunately, also took a 8 point hit for gw13!!!
i might be on to a rocky start!!! :alert:
That’s great news Jasprit and thanks for entering. There are 50 teams in this so far and some big names in there as well. Won’t be an easy one to win that’s for sure.
yeah. will need to buck up now and stop wasting points on them additional transfers!!
hoping for a good run!
cheers.
Would this be the Banterbury H2H qualification folks? If so, there are big names outside of the already established 4 leagues that are also trying to qualify?
Hi Calvin yes this is the same one that you are in. Not sure what your question was though?
Thanks init (feel very street saying that haha), guess it was badly worded. It was regarding you saying there are big names in there – I guess I figured most of the big names would already be in the main leagues, not the qualification leagues, that’s all.
Lets hope I am against you then
I might stand a chance of getting off the board.
So another round of Banterbury League h2h’s is upon us.
So Come on guys please review your Match-up in your eyes,OK?
Here is mine
This weekend Powerful Potty Fc travels across many forests to take on The Special One in the Banterbury Division 1 clash that see’s a Top versus Bottom battle.
In the past 3 Matchweeks..
The Special One has lost 3 on the bounce while gaining 141 points.
And my Powerful Potty Fc has won 3 on the bounce gaining 206 points.
Simple win I hear you shout?
Well I don’t take things for granted and i am treating this as if we are equal.
Pottys has removed Armoutavic and purchased Fer.
Dropped Boruc and Lovren to his bench and brought in Jazzy and Moxey.
But I believe in my tactics and ability in gaining another 3 points this weekend.
The Special One,my boardroom members like salmon so get some in,fresh not Tinned!!!
Potty
Seems like fun, I’ll do one for myself when the fixtures are generated
Banterbury (1 place) Qualification.
Potty has scanned all the teams and…..
Fc Pheonix and Zoostorm Fc will be big Contenders.
Once the transfer deadline has passed Folks.
Please preview your own H2H this weekend here on this page,ok?
Potty
Potty,
Am I a big contender too? FC Pheonix has an overall rank of 98,106. Zoostorm FC is on 107, 554. I’m on 91,172!! :big-lol:
Sure Veer, it’s anybody’s place. Doesn’t matter if you had a bad start or have had a slump the past few weeks, it starts from GW13!
Thanks flingy, good luck to you this week
A seriously under fire Moreinho’s mojo manager Andy goes into the Banterbury Qualification league with the fans far from happy with recent performances by the team. Out of 81 originals in the Fantasy Football 247 league the mojo’s rank in at a very unimpressive 80 ( A lot of you guys are off the Christmas card list but I’m not bitter at all. ) and with people looking to join the new site every week a lot more red arrows have been predicted, and with Andy’s men only taking 555 points from the opening 12 Gw’s this season a lot of fans are starting to turn on the manager with chants of “You don’t know what your doing” echoing around the arena.
Even opening days opponents Brutal Deluxe see the first fixture as an easy three points as they have taken an 8 point hit and still must feel confident that their forward three of Suarez – (c) Aguero – Lukaku will be more than enough for the Moreinho’s to handle but I’ve an ace up my sleeve called Benteke and I’ll always believe, always.
Oh dear,i got Norfolk n’ Chance in the first GW in the H2H..very difficult start,bring it!!
Floydeth,Init,Cookie,Kop – Any of you guys about?my teams link seems to have changed to one of my mates teams somehow,tried to re-link but it hasn’t worked,any ideas??
hmmm..strange, indeed…
Howdy HL – I think i might have made a balls of it and linked his team instead of mine, maybe i thought i was on my team but was actually on his,we are kinda similar,still though…should be able to change it back..
That’s quite bizarre NIN…I’ll mention it to Floydeth and ask him to look into it.
Cheers Kop,as i said above i think i might have done it by mistake,cant seem to change it back though..
Kop – Scrap that,it just changed there,happy days!!
Happy days
