Fantasy Football 247 at the Football Blog Awards. Last chance to vote!
As we are sure you are by now aware FF247 have been shortlisted as a finalist for the Best FPL Football Blog Awards (FBA). The finals take place on November 13th at the National Football Museum in Manchester. Voting closes this Friday and it is a close run thing so far so this is our last plea for more votes! We would dearly love to bring home an award for you all as a thank you for your following and dedication. We are under no illusions that the competition is strong and we are honoured to have even made it this far in our first year but with your help you just never know. Details of how to vote follow below and the main message here is that if you have already voted in the first round of voting you need to do so again as votes were reset for the finals.
[clear]
We would like to thank all our members for being such a huge part of the site – without you we are nothing. We have always aimed to make FF247 a community site, a fun site as well, of course, and an essential all round tool for FPL managers.

So we thank you deeply and look forward to a bigger, better, funnier future together!
Finally, we would like to ask that you vote for us in the hope that little old FF247 may just upset some of the more established names that we are up against.

Thanks again for your time, patience and support!
All at Fantasy Football 247.
Okay so Sterling is going to go down AGAIN and I can’t take losing anymore on him so I’m thinking of risking my transfers tonight..
Thinking Welbeck to Sakho and Sterling to Walcott for another point hit. Think it would be worth it though. West Ham have great fixtures and Walcott offers more than Welbeck for Arsenal coverage-a fantasy gem!
screw it, I’m going to do it..don’t suppose anybody knows if Sakho is definitely back next week?
AT he should be mate, he was close this week.
cheers init, do you think I should take another 0,1 loss on Sterling or ship out and risk it with the CL?
Personally I’d wait until they’re done but depends if funds are that tight?
after the sale I would have 1,2 so not tight at all haha. Just hate losing TV!
You’ve got 5 guys there who are all probably first teamers for you who play this week in Europe. I’d wait it out and suck up the 0.1 or whatever it is.
AT- if you feel it- do it!!
I know a few have done pelle and ster–> sakho and sanchez/walcott….. done it myself (on my second team mind you), i think its a wise move.
Could be a bit early for walcott but he was only on for 11 mins and nearly had a goal and an assist- as you say- a fantasy gem!!
No need to rush it, but if you are paranoid about TV (like me), id hit fire.
you’re right. Just hope he doesn’t drop even more!
Chances are though, if someone gets injured I would do the same transfers and then take a further hit 😉
Love how much views differ! If someone gets injured I would just take another hit haha, or bench them!
AT, If it’s worth anything I sold Welbeck and Sterling for Sanchez and Sakho. So considering that you should probably do something different as my tip about Collins didn’t pay off! Well done on have Chambers btw
SAF, hahaha…I was so close to bringing in Collins!
I would replicate your moves but don’t have quite enough but I think Walcott is more than up to it.
Not worried about CL with your moves already made?
I almost got Chambers but didn’t because I’d have to take a hit and figured a CS would just leave me even. As it was I had 5 defenders with CS but he smashed it with 18 points!
I usually do transfers early mostly because I’m impatient. It’s not often injuries happen but if they do I have a pretty strong squad so it’s all fine
If Walcott takes off like last season then I don’t see a lot of difference between him and Sanchez. It’s just that Sanchez is in form and Walcott isnt
Walcott can’t be inform from 11 minutes of play SAF haha 😉
Exactly my point! Although Kane got MOM for 33 mins today. Just shows what a crap game it was
Oh, I see what you mean! And yeah, could have done without Chadli bagging.
Going to make the exact same transfers but I’ll wait till International Break.
Please please please let’s have a real go at winning this award for FF247 – if you have already voted for the second round of voting then thanks. If you haven’t and want to then please do – every vote will count here if are to bring this trophy home to you!
Also, pls ask family members, friends, colleagues etc if they would vote too! If you can all target to get two votes a day this week we have a chance! Cheeky request, but we would love to win this.
Fanks!
guys- will an iCloud.com email work? never used it before!!!!!
Everyone please make the biggest effort you can to vote multiple times.
I’ve cast using every email I’ve ever used, FB and twitter too.
Ask your friends to take 2 mins too to help us. We’ll be up against it but let’s fight our corner.
Reposting this post. Evening all, well a meagre 58pts for me, could have been worse, at least i have Chambers. So as a Pool fan i have to admit we are diabolical and i can’t see it getting any better, some fans are wanting Brendan out, seems a bit harsh to me. Like everyone else i have to ditch Sterling, if i do it tonight i will have 8.9mill for a replacement, i don’t usually do early transfers as things can go wrong, especially with CL games taking place midweek, but Sterling is dropping faster than Liverpool. I do have 2fts though, so suggestions please or should i wait till the CL games are over ? Thanks for your reply Cody on the other thread.
Elle who are you ditching him for? I’d wait as I stated above to AT.
Don’t really know, was looking for suggestions. As you know i don’t like early transfers anyway. Mrs Elle had already voted for us, just sitting here, i asked how many e-mail accounts she had, 4 was the reply, bloody four, whose she robbing ? So shes just whacked another 4 votes in with 3 e-mail accounts and a FB one and i’ve just done another one. Go win that award.
Lol @ 4 mail accounts. Like ya team but you have to ditch Sterling I fear.
Great stuff Elle that’s the spirit!
I’d suggest Chadli but I know that’s a bittersweet dig this evening! 😉
Very droll Chicky.
Ngl, you need some arsenal coverage… walcott seems so right..but there is a slight risk!!!! Guess you could take in ramsey until wally fully back?
However, you could look to welbeck, and downgrade sterling to a chadli/downing/barkley- this changes your mid/fwd balance, which i am not sure if you are keen to or not!
Like for like swaps (premium mid), there is not much out there, (walcott fits so perfectly!!!!! :cuss: ) maybe a punt on oscar? or eriksen(not sure what spurs fixtures are like!!)
*Also, forster–>fabianski in two weeks makes sense, but then that leaves you without any soton coverage, which may not be a bad thing,but clyne seems to pick up an awful lot of bp’s!!!
Evening folks, looking for a second opinion… Sterling and Siggy to Fab and Downing for free?
Krelliott
Baines Clyne Chambers (Wisdom Bruce)
DiMaria Chadli Siggy Sterling (Wanyama)
Aguero Costa Pelle
Thanks!
Erlanger – not a lot wrong with it. If possible I’d prob go Hazard over Fab.
Thanks for the input. Unfortunately .1 short of hazard and can’t seem to find better than downing and fab as a compromise.
I’ve voted 3 times for this second round.
Guys, I don’t wanna see you post another comment before you’ve voted. So when I see your next comment I expect you to have voted. It’s very simple and takes such little effort. GET TO IT!
And that’s the spirit too! Cheers Cody.
Voted twice… one time with a twitter account I forgot I had (which I never used lol) and once with my regular mail.
Raz that pic is so God damn cute!
I tried to hug a cat yesterday too. It punched me in the face. Thanks gosh its claws had been pulled out.
For real? I was attacked by my cat two weeks ago (he bit and scratches me in the leg). Had to go to the doctor and got a penicillin cure which made me ill and I had to immediately stop. HAHA. My cat is boss though, can’t hate on him. At times I fear him though, HAHAHA. Taking out those nails, that’s just evil. Vikings are the worst!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rant:
This is my boss cat by the way. He’s called ”Ramzi”. A true killer, he just needs to remind himself who his friends are, HAHA. When he sees another cat in hi territory he goes LOCO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey hey, it wasn’t my cat, I used to have scratches on my body all the time in Norway because I always played with my cat. I carried those scratches like a man son.
Ain’t never heard of having to go to the doctor for being attacked by a cat before; your cat must be the real deal. Give him some pot brownies to chill him down or sumting aight.
Cheers mate. Cats can give really bad infections if wounds aren’t treated properly. Especially if they bite you. Keep that in mind if you ever do get bitten seriously.
