Fantasy Football 247 League Updates
Welcome one and all to the August round up of the FF247 leagues. I hope eveyone had a good summer, enjoyed the World Cup and has come back fighting fit for the turmoil which is the Premier League for 9 months. So as quick as we compiled our teams for GW1 of the 2014/15 season then the first month is over already would you believe it so lets find out which fantasy teams got off to a flyer :- [clear]

4th—204pts–Mr Bean–Adam Hodgson.
5th—203pts–Knights–M Junaid Ameer.

Congratulations to Tom Farmer who leads the way with a total of 216pts followed by Simon Maytham 4 pts behind on 212, the next 3 places were filled by Boblewo-Garutti, Adam Hodgson and M Junaid Ameer, only being seperated by 2pts.

FF247 Doubles League
1st—176pts–Aditupem–Init + Elleffcee.
2nd—175pts–Belly + Clyne–Chins + Calvin.
3rd—172pts–Indecisive Warriors–Kop + Floydeth.
4th—166pts–Potty Morbid FC–Potty + Morbid.
5th—165pts–Potty As A Jock–Potty + Gallant Pioneer.
The doubles League has just 11 teams but will be fought tooth and nail until next May, the team that wins this prize will be the outfit that has fewer tiffs. After 3 GWs, it has last seasons champions Aditupem surprisingly top of the pile, but only by 1pt from Chins + Calvin who in turn are only 3 pts ahead of Kop + Floydeth. You may notice that in 4th + 5th place are two teams with Potty in both, he appears to be going along steadily with both partners, we wonder if they know they are being two-timed?!
Well thats it for August, may you all have a good September with your fantasy teams, except the doubles of course, and I’ll see you here at the end of next month.
Naismith or Welbeck?
Naismith.
Welbeck.
Aha, so the code word is Welbeck then? I like it 😉
AGUERO !! !
!
Lads, which three would you choose out of these? 1.7m in the bank.
Welbeck, Aguero, Naismith, Balo, Falcao, Costa, Chamakh.
Costa, Aguero & Welbeck/Naismith
Bry
Definitely option 2 mate
Adebayor, perhaps? Along with Kun and Costa/Falcao? If not, then that guy who plays in blue, you know the one, he’s partial to battered mars bars 😉
P.S MLS this week… LD (c)? surely? Either he or Henry, i think.
*Henry/BWP* even.
I’ve been hurt by not captaining LD the last 2 weeks and the week before I even didn’t make any transfers or set my team lineup from the week before !
I’m ranked 241 in the world but my target is top 100.. I’m going Henry this week I reckon…
Demsie – Same here, top 100 is now the aim. I’ve just had a look and 100th place is exactly 20 points ahead of me. It’ll be difficult to first get into, then maintain it. Donovan/Henry will be hard to choose between. I’ve just ruled out BWP as his BP accumulation is atrocious for someone with so many goals.
NIN
How dare you? Naisy kicked that habit when he left our shores years ago
No wonder he’s kicked on recently 😉
1. Lloris,, Shawcross & Naismith
2. Begovic, Shackell & Welbeck

1. Clyne / Di Maria / Naismith
2. Colocini / Marney / Falcao

Does anyone think Jovetic will be fit for Arsenal ?
lennon, we’ll just have to wait until City’s presser on Friday for more details, though you would think they’d take little risks with the CL starting next week.
Looks like we will have to await further news on this once City have had a chance to assess him properly.

I think I need to find out before Friday. This could push me into a WC (I mean a wildcard, not a toilet), but thanks for replying chaps.
I’m just wondering… How do you plan on finding out before Friday ??
1) Janmaat and Wilson
or
2) Coloccini and Pieters
Colo and Pieters will be settled for the rest of the season if not injured. Janmaat same, Wilson I have big doubts.
Raz,
What doubts are there over Wilson?
Huth I guess. But he has been out for a long time and as Stoke kept clean sheet at City doubt they will change that back four any time soon
