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.

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.

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.

Thanks again for your time, patience and support!
All at Fantasy Football 247.
How’s my team for next week? Did two transfers last night
Looks fine Veer, but bear in mind you have four of your starting XI playing CL this week.
Looks good to me Veer, as Cookie says just keep your fingers crossed you don’t pick up an injury in the Euro games. Interesting captain choice.
Diego Costa sat out Chelsea training this morning ahead of tomorrow’s Champions League against Maribor according to the BBC. Hmmmm…
Xabi, he was never playing tomorrow anyway – I foresee a week of rest for him. Mourinho will be speaking at some point this afternoon.
xabi- doesn’t mean anything FPL wise, its an easy game for us (hopefully), so remy/drogba should do the job fine..might as well give him rest during the easy games no?
He will be back for united, I’m 80% sure!
Afternoon guys,hi Hazard I thought u just said he’d be rested for the easy games!! 😉
Ha!! Very quick I must say.
Lol couldn’t resist Xabi! In all seriousness I wish Moronho would commit either way and put several million people out of their misery!!!
haha like it Peaky!
haha, very true peaky!!
Playing against jones and blackett would be easier than training 😉
Oi. At the moment I can play with team that I have Falcao-Kun-Costa as forwards. Bit too much and Pelle is fine for the next 4 games. After that though.
screw you raz -_- don’t tell me you have a beast midfield and decent defence do you :what:
My midfield was better a few weeks ago. Sterling looked like a season keeper but I really don’t think he can hold this much longer. Like a billion fixtures for England, Liverpool (EPL), Cups and CL. Nightmare for dude. So felt I had to replace him with Tadic, Tadic looks really fit…
But yeah, I should be fine for the next game. Waiting on Costa news though. Read he missed training today.
sterling went this gw for me too! it will be a waiting game this week, loving all these costa out transfers though (as long as no price drop!!), they will all feel stupid when he plays and will have to get him back in for apr the following week= price rise for us
Hi
I’m new to site so first post. Can’t decide what needs sorting defence or my back up subs.
Team is
Degea (my hill)
Clyne Moreno o Shea (wisdom duff)
Di Maria fabregas Ramsay henderson (cattermole)
Falcao costa welbeck
I’ve got 2 fts and 0.4 mil in bank. I’m looking at
1. binning o Shea and moreno for jagielka and chambers
2. Changing cattermole but for who? Davis
I’d also like to get Barkley in now he’s back.
Sorry I don’t know how to link my team so suggestions welcome.
Cheers
Hi Kickers, welcome to FF247!
If I may point out a couple of thoughts on your team. Of course you don’t need to listen! With Welbeck in there, do you need Ramsey too? Maybe sell Ramsey for Tadic (Saints still have good fixtures), with that money you could upgrade Moreno to Baines?
For linking your team, pls read the attachment

alternatively you can take a screenshot of it and post using “upload image” below the message box.
Cheers cookie. I’ll have a go at doing that next time. I’m not sure on tadic to be honest because Sunderland were so bad and I think I could have scored but time will tell!. I guess I’ve alway felt Ramsay was a pretty decent points scorer
hi kickers, welcome to the site, be sure to stay around- you will see your rankings soar (trust me, we all have, well, i have anyway!!!)
have you thought about aguero? he’s a must have in my book, however:
Your back up subs aren’t that bad!! duff/wisdom are really not too bad, but cattermole probably does need changing (—>boyd?)
i would put main aims into defence, o’shea–>chambers looks good, how much cash does that leave you??
As you already have welbeck, ramsey is ok to go, so you could get barkley in there, but i would maybe look to tadic and have barkley up your sleeve when he has some more game time.
Cheers hazard. I guess getting chambers wud overload me with arsenal!
Changing is he’s to chambers leaves me with 0.3 mil
Oshea! Would you bin Ramsay and Henderson for Barkley and tadic?
sounds good, but the problem still is the defence, which really needs some money!!
o’shea–>chambers
ramsey–>siggurdson (need to see more of barkley first)
that leaves you with?? 2.2 mil? which you could do falcao–>aguero (as you have adm), or as cookie said, get baines in for moreno!
kickers – Welcome! I would get rid of Ramsey and Moreno for Sigurdsson and Baines. Then next week, it’s Aguero time 😉
Cheers everyone for the advice.. Not convinced on aguero for fitness yet but awesome when he is. I feel a wildcard coming!
But waiting till after champions league
Aguero has played the 90 4 times in the last 6 games. I think it’s safe to say he’s fit and most definitely firing.
Which of these 3 options would you go with?
Or this one
Kickers, the Baines one for me…ie no.1!
Cheers cookie. I’m swayed with that one to as gives best all round coverage
Agreed Kickers – Baines or Coleman are almost must haves for this period, in my view. I would still recommend Mane or Tadic in that midfield though.
Maybe Coleman as he’s cheaper! May wait and see on tadic when he plays a decent team
Don’t you want him while he plays the crap ones?
I see your point cookie. Talking out my arse!
Not necessarily Kickers, just my view!
I know you’ve changed your mind on it anyway, but just to add another view.
Don’t get Davis – he’s decent but you could end up in the position I’m in i.e. unable to get Tadic because you have 3 saints players.
After falcao going on the bench any options are possible now!!!
Well done guys…
My vote is in!
Thanks full time
Tweet from FFF:
“Couple of adjustments currently being made to make the price rises even more accurate, updating very soon!”
Cool. I read Diego Costa missed training today. We already knew he wouldn’t play midweek. Guess this is Mou giving him rest. We’ll have to say if he gets back to training later this week.
yeah, saw that too, nothing that bothers me yet raz.
