Fantasy Football 247 League Round Ups February
Welcome one and all to the February FF247 leagues round up. Well I must say its nice to be back, I have tended to my personnel business, got new batteries in my hearing aid and given my jam jar glasses a good clean, so I’m raring to go. Thanks to my young apprentice for standing in at short notice and writing a great article for the month of January. I had a great meeting with Stevie G and Bruce Arena, all is looking swell for the LA Galaxy. Stevie has been given the number 8 shirt, which he is happy about, but there was some argument over taking the captaincy and penalty duties off former Liverpool team mate Robbie Keane, which are still to be resolved. There is also talk of Stevie building a brand new mansion not far from Liverpool, does this mean he could be loaned back to Anfield from LA Galaxy? We shall have to wait and see. Anyway on with the round-up.
FF247 Overall League. 
Top of the podium in the overall league is David Ross with his team ‘Rossaldinho’, David has achieved a grand total of 1650 pts so far. In 2nd place, with 1647 pts is team ‘Suarez ate my team’ with owner Ben Martin. 3rd goes to Stephen Gayton… Qual, with his team ‘LFSteve’ and a total of 1640 pts. The 3 guys mentioned have also hit lofty heights in the global rankings, their positions being 82nd, 90th and 156th respectively, positions which would give most of us nosebleeds, well done to all 3 of you. 4th + 5th positions go to Sakari Uutela with team ‘Oulunkylan Tahti’ and Andy Gaskell with team ‘Pretty in Pink’, both having 1637 and 1624 pts respectively
FF247 Manager Of The Month.
Gold medal position for February goes to Rishad Islam who managed to achieve 263 pts over the 4 gameweeks with his team ‘Hunain F C’. Team ‘James United’ took silver for James MacKenzie with a total of 258 pts. We had a tie in bronze medal position with Dan Treeby and Akshay Salunke each gaining 252 pts with their respective teams ‘Inter Young Boys’ and ‘Akshays Warriors’. In 5th just 1 pt behind bronze was Soud Abdallah Soud with his squad ‘SAS United’.
FF247 Doubles League.
Top of the shop are NZ Alex & Peaky Dave with their team ‘North South Divide’, this pairs joint efforts have amassed 1585 pts so far, this total also gives them a global ranking of 1669, which I think is great for a doubles team. 2nd position goes to team ‘Potty Morbid FC’ with a total of 1540 pts for our old friends Potty and Morbid. Team ‘The two Uniteds’ are just 3pts further back in 3rd place with a total of 1533 for owners Silvers & PvR. In 4th and dropping like a whore’s knickers, are ‘The Boss’ Init and my good self with 1521 pts for our team ‘Aditupem’, as pointed out by my apprentice in last month’s article, our cheating looks to have been found out???? 5th spot goes to the pairing of Monty + Norfolk, with their team ‘Le$bian Lion$’ with a total of 1500 pts.
Congratulations to all mentioned, and if you are not, as in the case of our regular poster ‘Razman’ keep plugging away, it will come good eventually. That is it for February, I’m off to commit a crime or two, so I will see you all at the end of March.
Good Afternoon all – thanks to Elle for the write up and his head of artistic design for the graphics!
Well done to all those mentioned doing so well in the leagues – great to see especially Albertini and Andy up there and having superb seasons -keep it up lads !
How’s your week so far Cookie?
I’m on 54 at present, like 90% of people I think. Kane (c) and Austin still to play.
Hey Milburn, nice score – I’m on 50 (-4pt hit, so 46 really), Kane (c) and Eriksen left. I’m getting screwed by Theo not being selected by Wenger. Bastard.
Afternoon Cookster. Theo -> Liverpool mid, perhaps?
I’ve got Sturridge NIN and i think that’s enough – need to get Hazard back in a week or two I think.
Good point. I forgot you had Sturridge. Just had a look at your team, and yeah, Hazard is needed. Tough to choose who to downgrade though. Cazorla maybe?
I think i’ll wait and week and sell Puncheon and Theo for Hazard and a cheapie NIN
This concludes my woeful advice for the day. You’re welcome
hahaha your advice is always appreciated NIN! Problem is Caz plays, Theo doesn’t and even selling Caz wouldn’t raise enough for Hazard.
Cheers Cookie 😉
Great stuff Albertini and another good week for you brewing too. Love the Moses pick, those little differentials can be priceless.
Cheers Init 😉
Moses is part of a hit taken last GW to avoid the blanks and it actually paid off as I’ve removed all the deadwood I had in my team (Marney+Gardos+Wisdom) and brought in him, Bertrand and Dawson.
And an intact wildcard, just for good measure 😉 Potential champ right here :thumbup: Great stuff.
Haha
Less than 100 points from top spot… :hippo:
Yep. Keep it going and you may well get there!
Albertini, I’d offer you an exclusive FF247 interview but I don’t want to jinx you !!!
That’s a great rank Albertini keep it going mate B)
Blue I am worried that the just the mere mention of the ultimate jinx for a FPL manager might already cause a decline that will turn a fantastic season on its head.
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?! :hippo:
Me and my big gob !! Just ignore everything I’ve just said, Albertini !
I’ll come back to you when I get my next red arrow Cookie! 😉
Cheers Silver, you’re doing very well too, good luck mate.
wow! hope for less than 100 points. you’ve inspired me. i am 45 points off my mini-league’s leader.
Thanks for the write-up Elle and congratulations to you guys posting such great scores. There are some seriously talented FPL players here and it’s so cool to see some of our own at the very top of the rankings. Best of luck for a strong finish!
Cisse has issued an apology for spitting at Jonny Evans. That’s usually a 6 game ban, just in case anybody has him. Evans has strenuously denied the same accusation.
Apparently United are asking for Evans to get a ban but the other 19 clubs are fighting it.
Classic
Haha nice!! But that would leave us short at the back once again! Hopefully calamity Jones makes a swift return!
:big-lol:
Thanks for the write up Elle @ least I got a mention in the doubles league although I haven’t heard from my partner in crime since before Cmas hope he’s ok cheers again mate
Silvers you are now officially disqualified with that statement. 😉
Last 10 GWs I got 9 beautiful red arrows. My biggest worry is what the hell is that green arrow doing in there?? Last year overall rank of 648 seems a distant unachievable memory! Can’t I have a secret Suarez to make me climb that ranking!!?!?!
@ Cantona
