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.
any recommendations here please? Don’t think I need to use my wildcard but could be beneficial. Really need to sort my defence out
Migs, no need to use the WC with that team. Pieters and Bruce would be my priorities, maybe Hutton or Vlaar (if already fit) from AVL could be nice and cheap options. Also Ulloa might need to be replaced soon but you’re too short of cash to change him to Welbeck.
migs – Are you willing to take a hit? Pieters&Moreno -> 4.1m&Baines is probably what i would do here. I generally don’t like taking hits for defenders but when it means Baines in for Moreno, i think it’s worth it for the long term.
Cheers guys! I like the Baines in move. Just have to see if it will be worth the hit, but for the future, probably the best move anyway
Miss my homie Jose Enrique. We used to hang out a lot. Brendan said he was the best left back in the EPL two years ago. USE HIM BIATCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :finger: Moreno sucks monkeyballs.
I’ve brought Sturridge in lads. I know this is controversial and people will disagree with this decision, but Sturridge will NOT feature in England’s fixtures against San Marino and Estonia this week after an agreement between club and country. He WILL feature in Pool’s away fixture against QPR.
Just in that his injury got a turn for the worse. He’ll be out for another 3 weeks. Oooops??????????????
Just kidding, but that can happen. I was so stupid to make an early transfer and bring in Baines, pure on emotional base. Now if one of my super 9 gets injured I’m f-ed. Have to take a hit. SOOOOOOOOOOOO Stupid. Emo move.
Haha it’s fine for me. I started playing 5 weeks after everyone else, there’s no way I can catch up anyways.
I see you opened up your own league. Is your desire to be founder of the league and to be last in it? 😛
Hahahahhaha oh god
Ruben – Sturridge wont play any internationals but how many others in your squad will? Who did you bring him in for? Also, Sturridge is a long long way off a price rise!
I brought him in for Pelly. It’s a transfer based off emotions like Raz’ transfer for Baines.
Ruben – There is no place for sentiment in FF!! 😉
As a fellow Kopite you must understand my love for Sturridge though, right? haha
Kind of
Am I right in saying that this is your first season playing FF? If I can give you one piece of advice…if you want to do well you need to throw your club loyalties out the window!!
Kop – yes it is my first season playing FF and the only reason why I made the transfer is because I am 5 weeks behind everyone else and I just want to experiment with things.
Thank you for the advice though!
I know and I’ll try to keep loyalty out of my FF next season as I’ll be starting my team at the beginning of the season.
No worries mate, make sure you enjoy this season as it’s hell when you’re taking it seriously
I sure will
cheers mate!
Mine at least made some sense. Pelle has great form and great fixtures. Four easy games ahead and he’s always playing. >.< I replaced Pieters with Baines for a whole other reason. Plus I need Baines in my team, just made it a bit too early.
Three homegames for Soton even, and imho Soton is bettter than Pool at the moment.
Yeah yours makes sense. Well let’s see who scores the most points in the coming 3 then. Pelle vs Sturridge. 😉 I’m happier with Sturridge in my team than with Pelle. Next year I’ll be more serious as I’ll start playing at the beginning of the season.
+1. Sturridge in for Pelle is an odd one given the form, fixtures and fitness of both players.
Here’s a list of the current players that i want out.
-Schneiderlin
-Dyer
-possibly Ulloa next round
and
-no sterling
-Clyne, Schneiderlin and Bertrand from so’ton
thoughts on possible transfer/s
Regardless
Tom
I wouldn’t do anything at all until after the internationals.
I also wouldn’t be too hasty to off load all your Southampton cover. They have 5 favourable fixtures ahead of them, so even after yesterday, I would keep the faith.
An obvious straight swap could be Dyer to Downing, or ditch him for a cheap benchie then use funds to upgrade elsewhere perhaps?
anyone?
haha. thanks. posted last comment a minute after you replied
The only way I can see you getting rid of the players you want to get rid of plus get Sterling in without touching any of the premium players is by doing:
Clyne -> Wisdom +1.4
Schneiderlin -> Boyd +1.4
DDG -> Forster +0.4
Dyer -> Sterling -3.1
0.1 left.
This needs to be done over weeks and prices may have changed against your favor.
great, cheers mate. they look decent enough. but probs wont get rid of ddg.
Yeah I agree. They might start scoring you points again, who knows!
Good luck with your decisions.
thanks heaps. Just worried that sterling many start to become as ‘must have’. I went Rooney-Aguero last week which made it impossible to get Sterling this week
My team currently
DDG /Myhill
Cahill, Clyne, Chambers, Bruce, Dummett
Sterling, Fab, Di Maria, Siggy, El Ahmadi
Aguero, Costs, Ulloa
Big question now for me is to downgrade Cahill to a cheap defender and upgrade Ulloa to Pelle??
wise move ? or do you think I have to address other changes?
Thanks for your advice.
Cheers
Mike
Mike,
how much of a downgrade? What do you itb at the mo?
Chelsea have just got their first back to back clean sheets, so it could be risky to ditch, however I do see your point on Pelle.
Hi BBash
only 0.2 in the bank at the moment… so the only chance to get Pelle is to downgrade cahill…
not sure what i should be doing… instinct tells me to invest into front 3.. but not 100% sure.
Mike
Mike
as you already have Dummet and Chambers (1 match ban), I would look towards Sunderland or Stoke for the swap.
I do agree with you and Cookie that it does seem a sensible move
Pelle is on great form while Ulloa seems to have been a little off lately so that definitely is a good transfer. Cahill does play for a very strong team that is capable of keeping a CS against most teams. That being said are you planning on playing Dummet? Because Bruce doesn’t play and Chambers is suspended. I’d downgrade Cahill and upgrade Bruce.
Hey Mike,
They seem like sensible moves mate – got any defenders in mind?
Hi Cookie,
my max I can spend on a defender is 4.5.. that is all I have left once I upgraded ulloa to pelle…
any thoughts?
Mike, the obvious names that spring to mind are Taylor of Swansea or Wilson of Stoke – neither of which are hugely exciting I grant you. Hutton of Villa is 4.2 and their horrendous run of games will end soon.
Hi Cookie, not sure if you remember me, use to post on FFC, just managed to set my account up here.
Wellcome site Mickey78 hows your team doing
Mickey!!!! Course I remember you, how are you mate?
Really glad you have found us on here. How you getting on this season?
Hey Mickey good to see you ol’ pal. Nice to see you on the site and make yourself at home. Everyone else does 😉
Welcome mickey
I would dearly love to get Kun in my team but would have to down grd Ivan & Sterling to raise cash & swap Welbeck to Kun my question is would say leave it has it is Ivan / Sterling / Welbeck or have Taylor / Downing / Kun when I look @ it like this I thk what I have is better thoughts please
