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.
Afternoon all!!
Do you think alcaraz will be a starter for the next few weeks??
Mitro, I would imagine so with Stones out. He got the nod on Saturday, kept a cs, fair assumption to think he keeps his spot.
Cookie – so bringing him would be a good move? Thinking of taking out duff!
Mitro, I can’t second guess Martinez – Distin is also available. But bearing in mind he chose Alcaraz at the wkend and they kept a cleanie, that’s my best educated guess!
Mitro
Keep in mind Alcaraz is also a Martinez signing so may carry favour over Distin.
I’d risk it.
distin is 36/37 and in his last year of his contract so I’m thinking alcaraz would be the better option until stones is back!!
I think it’s worth risk.
Voted with an old e-mail address I can’t even enter anymore. Hihi. Iirc in the year 0 I created an e-mail account so I could post on goal.com or whatever it was. Don’t remember. Don’t use twitter and sorry guys I don’t think I ever will. BUT I VOTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
E-mail account should be ummmm twitter account. That mail account was created because I didn’t trust the net, don’t want them to spam shit to my regular address. Now Chopper, Cookie and Potty have my real mail so I’m kind of scurred bad things will happen.
Thanks Raz, much appreciated – you don’t need Twitter to vote at all.
IT SAYS TWEET YOUR VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >.<
But wait, I can send a normal mail. They don’t spam or anything do they?
No mate, you’re safe!!
Oi, it got in junkmail and asked me to confirm my vote. That’s ok right?
I NEVER GET JUNKMAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >.<
Yes mate, you need to confirm the email for the vote to stand.
Done. Now off. See ya in 2 hours, hoping Di Maria and Falcao show some magic. Latersssssssssssssss.
Voted via tweeter just now.
Well done guys, good luck for the finals but being there is already a huge and well deserved achievement!
Thanks Albertini!
Who would you put in Baines, Coleman or Ivanovic?
Full time – the order you have them in there.
I’ve put in Baines and I stick with that choice. Penalty kicks and set pieces made it an easy choice.
have to say Baines for his dead ball duties and attacking potential
Thanks guys. Baines it is
Is this worth a 4 point hit?
Taylor & ADM out
Baines & Tadic in?
not in my opinion no.
As tempting as Baines is i wouldn’t sacrifice ADM for him just yet.
Best to see how he goes tonight first.
True but he’s playing Chelsea, Man.city and Arsenal in his next four games, can’t see UTD getting many goals against them but waiting for tonight’s game first is a safe bet,
thanks
Why you wanna get rid of ADM?
To fit Baines in mainly, I could downgrade Sterling instead but the couldn’t afford Tadic. Any ideas?
It’s a tough on but I personally would. Baines has scored 1 and bagged 5 assists so far this season, he’s on fire. Baines and Tadic out score ADM and Taylor over the season 100%.
ADM is a much more reliable captain though.
If you don’t have much value built up in ADM you could take him out for a few weeks then put him back in place of Sterling.
Full time
Any move to remove ADM I think you will live to regret mate.
Thanks GP I will leave him there and keep tinkering to fit Baines in somewhere down the line.
Full time
Its very difficult. I only have Baines coming in next week and I’m only able to go that because i got rid of Costa this week.
I have a plan to get him back after the United game assuming he’s fit
Fair play I could never afford to but him back if I sold him.
Hello everyone
That’s me voted twice by email and also via twitter.
My three year old daughter and two month old son have also cast for FF247 on ‘their’ accounts.
Every bit of help is appreciated guys. Keep it going.
