Fantasy Football 247 at the Football Blog Awards
Fantasy Football 247 is delighted to announce that we have been shortlisted as a finalist for the Best FPL Football Blog award (FBA). The finals take place on November 13th at the National Football Museum in Manchester. This is an immense achievement for us, bearing in mind we only went live in November of 2013 and we would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the team at FF247 for all their hard work, given freely and in their own time, for making the site what it is today.
[clear]
We would also like to thank all our members for being such a huge part of the site – without you we are nothing and the site is irrelevant. We have always aimed to make FF247 a community site, a fun site as well, of course, and a useful tool for FPL managers. It is your involvement, comments, banter and engagement that ultimately has pushed FF247 into the realms of being nominated for awards such as this.
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. Clearly our age will not make it easy for us to win against other sites that have been around for years, but you know us, we’ll give it a go. Every vote counts.
Voting is very straightforward – all you need to is click on the link below, either taking you to the FBA site or through the twitter button.
In case you’re thinking, “I’ve already voted”, then firstly thanks, it’s your votes that have been responsible for us being nominated. But from now, the votes have been reset to zero and we start again.
If you’re on twitter, then this is the most simple method.
Voting via the FBA site link involves about about two minutes more of your time! Just click this link (or the red ‘tweet your vote’ button above), enter your details and under “categories”, click the FPL drop down menu and you will see Fantasy Football 247 appear. Simply highlight us and click “Vote Now” – you will be sent an email which you will need to confirm your vote.
The FF247 team will be attending the event itself and we will be sure to post pics on here and via twitter of what will surely be a fantastic night out regardless of the results! Tickets are on general sale as well so if anyone fancies it please feel free to come but be sure to let us know so that so we can include you in our party!
Thanks again for your time, patience and support!
All at Fantasy Football 247.
Well done lads, great stuff! My vote is in!
Congratulations to all of the team behind the scenes– it’s a great community here for sure, but you all deserve lots of credit for creating it in the first place and keeping us coming back. It’s added so much to my enjoyment of playing FPL. Thanks– I’ll tweet a vote tomorrow!
If anyone’s still up I’m pondering potential transfers. Things are going very well but there are things I’d like to fix…
1) Sterling game time is the Concern of the Week, as is losing Costa. I am going to resist both of these right now, though I wonder whether getting Boyd in for Quinn (who’s lost his place?) is worthwhile, so I have a playing attacking sub. That said, this feels like a wasted transfer…
2) I really need to fix up the defence. Swansea, Stoke and Sunderland fixtures get pretty nasty in 2/3 weeks time and I might be looking to clear out Taylor, Wilson and O’Shea. Coloccini isn’t a brilliant option but I fancy Newcastle a bit more in the coming weeks. I am looking at Chambers, Hutton, and perhaps Moore of Leicester. Thoughts?
3) Downing has a tough next fixture but thereafter he looks ok for a few weeks. Sigurdsson however hits a run of tough fixtures soon. Pondering Barkley, and I’m glad to have another week to monitor his return.
4) Anything else obvious? Thanks in advance anyone who’s up! (Chins, Josh, deserteagle, any of the other US residents?)
I was gonna say ur team is good focus on defense but you already know that…
can interesting though is that you might want to think about getting someone from united for attacking because they dont have anything else than primer league
chambers sounds good what about schuup or something like that from lesicter who is a defender but plays as a out of position mid
and enlighten me on barkly because I really do not know much about how good he is…
Thanks baunsir. United is tempting, and ADM is an obvious absence from my team. At the moment though their fixtures aren’t the most enticing. Falcao could be a good punt if Costa stays out but I hope it doesn’t come to that.
Barkley is a tricky one. Last season he had flashes of a few weeks where I thought he was brilliant. The big thing with Everton seems to be that there a few players who don’t do the best job of passing to each other (e.g. Lukaku and especially Mirallas). Martinez also likes to rotate. So Barkley is tough to call- he is also returning from injury. He’s cheap though, and could play at no10 for Everton. If he hits form I will be very tempted by him.
if I were you i wouldnt touch ur strikers i envy your strikers lol cuz like someone else said aguero is fixture proof
you can just save ur transfer or just get a better substitute…
what do you think about Zaha from crystal palace instead of quin
congratz guy as the great Borat would say ” VERY NAIIICEEEEEEEEEEEEE”
