Fantasy Football 247 League Updates September
Hello everyone and welcome to the September round up of the FF247 leagues. So how did everyone do this month? Injuries were more common than a scouser in a car park and managers were dreading to be the first one to get the bullet, so lets see who managed to steer their teams through the mine field that is fantasy football and top our compliment of leagues. Any successful managers will be added to our Hall of Fame which is coming soon.
FF247 League
Top spot in this league has stayed with Tom Farmer, who was also top in August with his team ‘Blame It On Debuchy’. Tom had amassed 394 points up to the end of September and was sitting pretty in 6th overall in the world, keep up the good work Tom. (The pic above includes this weeks scores that include week 1 from October). 2nd spot goes to Gerrie Pistorius, with his team ‘Pick_And_Hope’ on 387pts, and that points haul took him to 27th in the world. A further 6pts back in 3rd with 381 is team ‘Societa Esportive77’ and owner Boblewo-Garutti Brasil, who has also stuck around in the top 5 for 2 months. 4th place goes to Jaye Williams with his team ‘FC Yayunomi’ on 379 pts. In 5th, a further 5pts back with 374,was Hammad Mudassar and his team ‘Fantastic 11’.
FF247 Manager Of The Month
Top spot for September goes to A Khan with his team ‘Disneyland’, he managed to achieve 190pts from only 3 gameweeks, this score had also propelled him to 44th in the FF247 league. Ivan Bosnjak with his team ‘Leafs FC’ pushed for top spot all the way but finished just 1pt behind to take 2nd place with 189pts. Konrad Wojtowicz and Richard Prowse came in with 187pts to tie for 3rd spec with their respective teams ‘Gooners FC’ and ‘Tinkerman United’. 5th place went to Richard Jagers team ‘Wolf Pack’ with 185pts.
FF247 Doubles League
The overall positions in this league are changing every gameweek and top spot at the end of September goes to Timmy + Cartman, alias our Colombian friend Mito + his sidekick Suarez, with their team ‘We Will Bite You’ and a respectable haul of 339pts, NZ Alex + Peaky Dave fought tooth and nail to reach 1st place but just failed finishing 2nd by 1pt on a total of 338. 3rd spot went to an unknown entity, Mr + Mrs Facepalm, with their team ‘No Hope Bob Hope’ who since the start of the season have been slowly picking up momentum to achieve 335pts. Last seasons champions Aditupem have dropped from 1st to 4th place with 330pts. In 5th spec are the up + coming FF247 article writers Calvin + Chins, they appear to have dropped off the pace a bit on 319pts with their team ‘Belly + Clyne’ but will probably blame it on their time writing superb articles rather than amassing points.
Well folks that’s it for September, so congratulations to everyone mentioned. Don’t forget there are only 3 gameweeks in October as we have another international break. Good luck to all for the next month, especially young Tom Farmer, keep the flag flying for FF247 with that high overall ranking.
hammers
Afternoon all.
This is how my team looks currently
I cant decide between bringing Welbeck in for Ulloa with my FT or shiftingit around a bit to get baines in which would take a -8 hit. The transfers for this would be Ulloa to Sakho, larsson to Boyd & Dummet to Baines.
I happy with taking the -8, as i think for Baines its justified, however cant decide if its a better option overall than bringing in Danny boy.
Any help appreciated
Cheers
Cookie
Hammers, tricky one that. Welbeck or Baines. Both would be nice! I think if I had to choose between the two I would select Baines, but it’s very much a 50/50 call. I have brought both in this week!!
hammers
Cheers cookie,
Yeah i would like both too however i could only do that by ditching sterling which i don’t really want to do just yet. Maybe next week for another hit lol
Looks like its baines for a -8 then!
Cookie
Hammers, seems a bit extreme for an 8pter
hammers
What Baines?
Thats my dilema – an 8 pointer for him or welbeck for free. Prepared to take the 8 if its the best move overall
photek
I’d take wellbeck on a free than baines for -8 pt hit
hammers
what about between baines for a -4 or welbeck for free then photek?
Raziel
Dummie injury, just f-ing genius. >.<
Raziel
IB not even started yet. How do they f-ing do that? >.<
photek
its not unusal for players to be injured around an IB but thats normally when its some meaningless friendly.
Cookie
doesn’t look like Dummett’s injury is that serious Raz
Kop Warrior
The world seems to be gone Baines mad!!
Cookie
consistent performer Kop – not a fan ?
Kop Warrior
Nah, I’ve gone off the idea of getting him.
Cookie
deliberate policy of going differential or just not a fan full stop?
Kop Warrior
If Everton can start picking up clean sheets I’ll consider him. At that price I’d currently go for Ivan.
Cookie
fair enough mate – Chelsea looked v solid on Sunday
inittowinit
That’s what missing a penalty can do for your appeal Kop, imagine if he’d actually scored it! On that point it wasn’t a great pen but if you look back (this is apropos of nothing by the way!) then his pens generally aren’t great he just tends to send the keeper the wrong way, Sunday was an accident waiting to happen but hopefully a one-off. I’d take him over Ivan personally but who knows…
elleffcee (ex champ with a potty prize)
Hey up Chicky, everything AOK ? Who is your mls cappo this week ? I’ve gone Wondolowski.
Kop Warrior
Don’t tell him Init, he’ll only copy you 😉
elleffcee (ex champ with a potty prize)
Nice one Kopster, but as you can see from the post, i’ve done my cappo. :shake:
Kop Warrior
I suspect there’s time to change it!
inittowinit
Yep Wondo for me. Definitely. 100%.
elleffcee (ex champ with a potty prize)
There you go Kop, Chickys copied me, tell him off. :cuss:
Kop Warrior
But Elle, can he be trusted?!
inittowinit
Well I don’t own him for a start………..
NIN
Oh dear. I made my transfers the other day but completely forgot that MLS doesn’t stop for internationals! My squad is in tatters :shake:
Looks like a -8 for me, maybe even a -12.
inittowinit
NIN. Oooooooops.
The Gallant Pioneer (@mitchellcraig81)
NIN,
You have scared me. I don’t know who I have who will be missing for the internationals. Keane I know will be at least one. I’ll check later tonight.
I see I beat Init in the Waffle Diner last week. (Not a euphamism, before anyone starts)
inittowinit
:oogle:
NIN
init – Oops is correct my friend. This mistake could undo a lot of the good weeks i had a while back. Arse to it anyway.
TGP – I seen someone on TFPL earlier saying he had 8 players out! My squad isn’t quite that bad but there’s two suspensions in there for me too. Looks like a -12 just to field an 11. Feck it anyway.
photek
I agree Kop, i don’t see why i’d want to get rid of my mids or a in form striker for Baines.
I appreciate Baines is good but his not worth taking a hit or weakening other areas for imo
martaaaaay
hi guys struggling where to use my 2FT any help would be appreciated I have 0.2 mil in the bank.
Was thinking of getting rid of schneiderlin but not sure.
Cookie
I would get shot of Shaw and Moreno mate. Baines, Ivan, Azpi, Kompany all
Decent options for the prime spot plus one other of your choosing.
martaaaaay
cheers mate ill have a look
MattX
1 FT and 2.2 mil in bank
Mannone Krul
Trippier Clyne Pieters ( Wisdom and Taylor )
Fabregas Di Maria Sterling Siggurdsson ( King )
D.Costa Dzeko Welbeck
What, if anything should I do?
The Gallant Pioneer (@mitchellcraig81)
Hi Mattx
Would downgrading Pieters to say, Hutton combined with what you have in the bank, allow you to get Aguero in for Dzeko?
MattX
Yeah I had Hutton in before so you think I should take the hit and make both this week?
The Gallant Pioneer (@mitchellcraig81)
MattX
Unless money is tight (ie. less than 0.2 million to spare), then I would suggest to hold off on the transfers and do them for the following week.
This way you would have Hutton available for QPR rather than Everton and Aguero playing West Ham and you wouldn’t suffer a hit.
MattX
Good plan cheers mate that helps
Calvin Clyne
Afternoon ladies and gents.Want to just get my transfer done so I can relax instead of fretting every hour for the next fortnight! Anyone WCing?
The Gallant Pioneer (@mitchellcraig81)
CC
Hi mate. My WC is long since expired . . .
I am however contemplating an early move or moves. What are you thinking?
Calvin Clyne
Alright Gallant mate. It’s likely to be either Ulloa to Welbeck or a defender to Baines. I’m not sure which defender though.. I even considered it to be Bartley haha but that would be too much spent on defence and wouldn’t let me get Welbeck.
Tbh I’ll probably just get Welbeck and worry about which defender to drop next GW instead. I know most will probably suggest Lovren to go, but they were unlucky not to keep a couple of CSs lately and have good fixtures so not sure..
What move are you thinking of making?
The Gallant Pioneer (@mitchellcraig81)
CC
I think Welbeck in is quite wise.
I’m thinking as you may have alreday read below, Moreno out for Azpilicueta and carrying on a transfer.
Calvin Clyne
Sound move GP. I’ve been amazed at the lack of Luis playing all of this time, but looks like Jose won’t be fixing what isn’t broken.
MattX
I’ve already used my WC mate so I don’t think I’m any help to you
Calvin Clyne
No no Matt, not going to use mine, just curious as to other’s plans. Slow day
MattX
Oh right haha
inittowinit
Get RvP and Mata 😉
Calvin Clyne
:finger: Well at least one of them!
Cookie
Hey CC, have dealt early, 3 transfers done, feeling v relaxed and stress free my friend! I can recommend it!
The Gallant Pioneer (@mitchellcraig81)
Cookie,
After our chat earlier i’ve worked on it and I can’t get Baines in without losing either ADM, Fab, Sterling, Siggy, Costa, Aguero or Welbeck.
I know your position on Sterling (sold) and going on the basis I want to give Welbeck a run whilst Giroud is out and they have four really decent games coming up, i think my personal Baines move is scuppered.
Not to worry. I would like to remove Moreno and I have Azpi lined up for him as first choice, Mangala and Kolarov joint second. I’m convinced that the Chelsea man is the right move.
Can you see any last minute alternatives as I too want to get my transfer done early?
Ta.
KI
I was surprised to see how quickly 2 goals (and 2 assists) moved Hazard into Fabregas territory. Looking at that, I’m considering dropping Fab for Downing, and the cash to get Baines (who has a good run of games coming).
Calvin Clyne
Not considering Fab to Hazard then KI after saying that?
Calvin Clyne
A rare hit eh Cookie? Which moves did you make? And I don’t mean at the retro bar last night 😉
Cookie
CC, I sold Moreno, Sterling and Ulloa and bought Baines, Downing and Welbeck.
GP – Azpi is a good choice in my view – less explosive than Kolarov but also
less likely to be rested. Post your squad and cash situation up
again and I’ll have another look, but by the sound of it you want to keep
Sterling, which I completely understand.
The Gallant Pioneer (@mitchellcraig81)
Cookie
Thanks mate. 0.5M in bank and 2 FT.
Cookie
GP, has to be Azpi if you want to keep that front 7 mate – unless you want your man Kolarov. I’d leave the other transfer mate if they all get thru their internationals.
NIN
TGP – Azpilicueta or Mangala in for Moreno, for me. I would lean towards the latter as i would rather have double City and Chelsea than treble Chelsea & Kun
Either way, your team is looking good my friend.
The Gallant Pioneer (@mitchellcraig81)
Cookie
Sensible advice.
Cheers pal.
The Gallant Pioneer (@mitchellcraig81)
NIN
Its on my mind to go two from each side mate. But if i go three from any team it will surely be Chelsea.
Thanks sir.
NIN
Calvin – Haha, i hear you buddy 😉 Really want to make my transfer now too but there’s not much point unless the old £’s are really tight. I’ve got a 0.3m buffer so i’m going to wait. Ulloa -> Welbeck for me too. Not the transfer i had in mind but it’s the best that can be done i’m afraid. Hopefully he does the business.
