Welcome to our mid-month FantasyFootball 247 Leagues round-up.
Most of us initially will have got into fantasy football through work or friends leagues. Nothing wrong with that, but to really challenge yourself, how about you test your mettle against other Fantasy Football 247 regulars?
Season and Monthly League winners will be awarded a place in our Hall Of Fame – more on that to follow!
The Overall Members League (full season)
With a solid 85 points, Barntons Bashers retain their top position in the main league after GW16. Holding a global ranking of 1,473 and with 1,078 points, they are having a great season, and we are glad to have them setting the bar in our league. Herewegoagain are close behind having moved up to second spot with 1,074 points, and only a further 2 points back, third spot is occupied by Shane-PAIN FC on 1,072 points. New entrant, Robin Van Pricey, are straight in at fourth spot with 1,068 pts, having delivered an impressive 97 points this game week – the highest score of this week’s top 10. James101 make up the top 5, with 1,062 points.
A mere 14 points behind are a 3 man chasing pack, containing second season wonder Michu’s Grassy Ass, and two very experienced managers, Powerful Potty Fc and Cookie’s Monsters, all on 1,048 points. Site regular, Milk and Busquets, follows 4 points off, on 1,044 points, with Norfulk-in-chance closing out our top ten on 1,039. Other notable movers this week include the perhaps misnamed duo, Not so SPECIAL ones and Real Morbid, who both managed to score 103 points, almost double the game-week average of 55 points, moving up to 24th and 31st spots respectively. And no, no Potty Prizes will be awarded for guessing who they captained!
The Monthly League
In top spot at the mid-month point is X Treme, on a very impressive 275 points for the month, including 91 for this game-week. The team’s overall ranking isn’t so high as yet, but with this kind of performance and a team value of £110m we feel that’s going to change fast. In second spot, on 268 points for the month are The Untouchables. Falling to third spot, but only 5 points behind, Killer instincts delivered 263 points in December to date. In fourth spot, on 261 points, are our season league leaders, Barntons Bashers, and Real Morbid rise to fifth on 254 points, lifted by their outstanding game-week.
The Greatest FC enter our rankings at 6, narrowly missing out on a ton, scoring 99 points (unlucky!). In 7th spot this month is James101, with Pimp my Side in eighth spot, at 247 points. Closing out our top ten are Inter ma’nan and Monkeys Nuts.
Many thanks to elleffcee for working out the monthly table – you may notice a slight difference in a couple of the rankings, this is because the monthly charts that are automatically generated do not take all hits into account – clearly these should be factored in to show who’s really performing best.

Has anyone seen fppundits xmas present on twitter?
Guys, here’s my team as of now, please let me know how I can improve:
De Gea (Moore)
Moxey* Dawson Fonte (Vlaar*) (Faye)
Özil Silva Oscar Ravel (Brunt)
Suarez (c) Lukaku Rooney (v)
*doubtful players. 0.9m in the bank. 0 FT left.
Want Walcott, either Özil or Oscar would have to go.. and also my defense needs work, so to do that as well Özil out might be best.. but he is world class and has great upcoming fixtures.
Anyways, any thoughts? Advice’d be much appreciated
Def Vlaar – Williamson.
In mid opt.1. Ozil – Wally and then Brunt – Mirallas.
Opt.2. Just do Ravel/Brunt – Sterling, he is in great form and even vs City (a) and Chelsea (a) he has great counterattack potencial.
Looking to climb the Overall? The Current points for
1st=1162
2K=1073
5K=1058
10K=1044
50K=1007

200K=960
500K=910
1million = 843
Ignore anyone who tries to talk you out of taking hits. My banterbury H2H qualifying league opponent is 2.5k ranked at 1,087 points and has taken -32 hit to get there. He does this well every year from look of history so it ain’t fluke. Got an itchy trigger finger? Do it! Press ‘confirm’!!
Titleastic – What’s your FPL team name?? I’m in the BB Qual too…
Booom!!! Awful name I know just had no inspiration this year (I change it each year). You NINja warriors I guess? Doesn’t look like we get a match up – until we make it to knock out phase that is :hippo:
Titleastic – Yeah i had a feeling that was your team,just because of your opponents score haha.NINja Warriors are my lot,not doing great recently after a brilliant start..ah well… that’s going to be a tough league to qualify from,probably harder than the classic league to be honest.
100% agreed with you there – it is a seriously tough league. I think the winner deserves a special potty prize as well as banterbury qualification. Tbh I’m not a big fan of H2h leagues – the fact I am above my next opponent in the league when a gulf of 146,000 separates us in the main league is crazy. Mind you I’m not complaining!
hey guys a quick question/suggestion before work. Do you think its worth transferring Ramsey out for Henderson. Henderson is both cheaper and has a much better differential. Just a thought
thePriceisJosh – Nah mate,Ramsey is the top dog in the midfield section,this would be a high risk move,to be honest i think it’s almost guaranteed to fail..
Currently Im ranked im 2678 in the world with 1068 pts. Im looking for anyway to gain an advantage on my competition and with Ramsey owned by 60% of teams he is virtually dead weight. Plus with Stevie G out for Liverpool for the foreseeable future Henderson is slowly…dare I say it… becoming the midfield general for the Reds. Anyways just a suggestion, I have already got Walcott in for Ozil this week so the transfer wouldn’t be happening this week anyways 😛
City and Chelsea after this week for Hendo, not sure that would be a good move for you. I least not for a couple of weeks.
thePriceisJosh – Nice scoring dude,very nice in fact..well done,go ahead and make the move if you feel it’s for the best,i wouldn’t do it though,Arsenals fixtures are somewhat handier than Liverpool’s and Ramsey has displayed some brilliant finishing skills this season,so for these reasons i’d avoid this move,have to log off now for a bit,good luck with your picks!!
Cheers for the input lads, yeah the move was more ideally designed for after the Chelsea away. After that game Liverpool have a decent run of fixtures so it may be worth a punt!
