Fantasy Premier League £500 Regulars League 2019/20
Hello everyone and welcome back to the FF247 Regulars League(s).
The purpose of this article is so that our Regulars League has a permanent home for reference points throughout the season such as cup draws and the like. It is permanently linked on our Hot Topics just above the latest comments.
As usual we will have a Regulars Classic League and we also have H2H leagues with promotion and relegation as well as a Regulars Cup starting in January.
We do have a main FF247 league and that is open to every man/woman and their dog. There is no autolink facility available from FPL yet but if you wish to join that one, for which there will also be a prize, the code is;
FF247 Main Site League – ikkny1 Which is almost kinky…
The Regulars League is a bit more selective. You have to be a member of FF247 and you have to post comments in the community here on a regular enough basis to be easily recognisable, and posting is monitored by the way.
Its not hard to join, e-mail me (Elle) at the address below and leave these details for me.
1- Your site user name.
2- Your real name.
3- Your team name from last season and new team name if it has changed. New members, just your team name.
These leagues are free to join but you do need to mail me. Deadline is midnight on the 6th August for the H2H leagues as I’ll need time to promote people if we have drop-outs. The Classic Regulars League can remain open for longer. Get mailing folks :- elleffcee@gmail.com
All we ask is that if you enter the league please keep the league code to yourself and don’t share it with friends and family who don’t frequent the site. It’s a community only league and we would like to keep it that way.
Thanks for reading Fantasy Premier League £500 Regulars League 2019/20. This article was written by Ellefcee

For those who want their own tracker to play with, just make a copy using the link below (GW’s 1-19)
This is my team, any suggestions?
Gibson and Kelly aren’t likely to feature GW1, so you’ll likely end up with Balbuena off the bench. I’d swap McCarthy for fodder in order to afford another $4.5M defender that you can rotate with Balbuena
Thank’s for the advice
Three Watford players catches my eye immediately.
Maybe swap one of those out. Pereyra to Redmond (Southampton) or Perez/Barnes (both Leicester)?
You could get rid of McCarthy to a 4.0 GK as you will usually use Ederson all the time anyway.
Thank’s for the arvice NDG
I like this team (for now lol)…but heaven help me if I want to get a premium forward.
What do you think?
Bench… 0ib
Yeah that’s going to be difficult to get a big striker in if you need one. I’d start with one tbh.
Love the midfield though.
I’m steering clear if the City LB area to begin with. Too much uncertainty I think. Laporte I would go for if you’re sticking with double City defence.
And in what kind of a situation does one “need” a big striker? I’m just curious as it’s a pick between, say, Sterling and Aguero, think Sterling will be the better player to have this season, also prefer Sterling to all of the other big forwards as well, at least from the start with the knowledge we have now. Aguero is getting older, Sterling is getting to his best years. I don’t think one needs a big forward when the choice is to have another big mid…
Put simply, red-hot form Zed.
Some times you just need a player especially if his price begins to rocket.
I see your point, but if you have 2 FTs it’s just a one week swap, no one’s price is gonna soar too high in a few weeks, especially the big hitters who are expensive, the cheap players rise fastest I think, nothing too difficult imo, not difficult enough to be the sole reason to start the season with a big forward imo…
Agree. There’s more than one way to play.
That’s not the sole reason I’m lining up Aguero and Kane. I’m going with them because they are worth their price in my opinion.
Yeah, there are many ways of playing the game! Now that’s a good reason to start with them, if you think Aguero is better than Sterling then go with Kun, but it’s not very sensible imo to go with Kun just to have a big-hitter upfront if one thinks Sterling is better
Thanks guys. Really appreciate your comments. Exciting times ahead.
Zinchenko is a big risk, especially since you have no bench
sanchez got subbed off early for chile today with hamstring injury! was hoping he could show some form during pre season!
Congrats to US Women…they played a fantastic game to win the WC. Dutch hardly had time to breathe in first half.
Tips for a better point accumulation for Epl fantasy league:
1) focus on left back eg. Mendy, Digne,Holebas, El mohamady, Emerson.
2) with the introduction of VAR a lot of penalties will be awarded, hence focus club penalties takers e.g Saleh, Aguero, Willian, king, vardy, kane,Jiménez,Milivojevic,Pogba etc.
3) having Pickford in your squad is a must
4) avoid Robertson and rather focus or Arnold
5) avoid early squad selections as Pre-season injuries might happen to any.
6) Everton have a kind first ten fixtures
Hey Izzy thanks for the tips. A few thoughts:
1 . Why left back? Are there stats to back this up? Would be very interested in this!
2 . The stats for other European leagues suggest there won’t be any significant difference. Others on this site have made persuasive arguments that for the EPL there will be an increase, and you appear to be in that camp. Having read Mark Riley’s comments about VAR and his views on the Dutch penalty against Japan (in the WWC) not being given in the EPL, I’m not convinced we’ll see any difference.
3 . Will you go with a 4.0 sub or would you find someone to rotate with Pickford? Atm, I’ve got Ryan and Button.
Why choose short arms Pickford is the question you should be asking Ben.
Why not? Fixtures are deeply brill. If I splash out on a goalie (highly unlikely, though I may) him and Ederson are the ones I’ll consider first.
4 . I have both Arnold and Robertson. Is that ok?
I fear Izzydeen is going to give you the mother of all bollockings for that heretical selection.
Either that or s/he’ll bring a plague of locusts down upon your courgettes.
I’m sweating in anticipation. Although I’m growing squash this year (courgettes are just crazy – I can’t cope with how fast they grow)
Seriously though, you turn your back on a courgette for five minutes and then suddenly it’s a marrow.
Concentrate on the left-backs Ben, did you learn nothing already?! Oh, hang on…….
Innit you seem to be suggesting that there is a conflict between rule 1 and rule 4. I don’t see it myself….
5 . I can’t help it. I love tinkering! However I agree that everyone will need to assess and reassess their team right up to the last minute. That’s why the pre season hub is so vitally important!
6 . Certainly the games before the City match look winnable. I’m not looking any further than that.
Means naff all where Everton are concerned.
Everton for me are more appealing than Man U. Chelsea and Arsenal based on the fixtures; and their players’ prices means they can be swapped easily if say their form is lamentable and Chelsea’s, say, isn’t bad.
Good to see you’re continuing with the anti-support thing through to the bitter end Elle.
Interesting points Izzydeen – seriously, I was hoping you’d get to 10 and call it your Ten Commandments.
Anyhow:
1) would be handy if you could back that mild and entertainingly bonkers statement up with some sort of fact;
2) See this Economist article – so again, I’m not seeing a lot of evidence;
3) Maybe link this to point 6, in which case I agree, partly, though it means a fair amount is spent on goalies;
4) See my point 1;
5) Yes, goes without saying – however never a bad thing to point out the obvious;
6) Yes agree. I’m deliberating over Richarlison / Siggy.
It was my bedtime here in Hong Kong when i read Izzydeen’s post,so i went to bed looking forward to reading the replies, i have not been disappointed!
