FF247 League Updates GW22 FPL Fantasy Premier League
Welcome to our FantasyFootball 247 mid-month Leagues round up for January!
Writing this from the side of a rooftop pool in southern central India, I am brought to mind the words of Mahatma Gandhi “Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth”. So hold fast to your convictions ladies and gents, and stay your course, as you fight your way up the league rankings.
The Season League
The festive season is now but a distant memory, though the dark winter nights remain – perhaps more for some managers than others… Wildcards have been played, some profitably, others with more than a few retrospective regrets, and even the occasional cry of “Why Always Me?!” So where has this merry dance left us?
Well, as reliable as Stevie G’s returns, Barntons Bashers hold on to their lead at the top of the league, with 1,486 points, moving a further 9 places forward in the main game to a fantastic number 53 in the overall rankings! What’s interesting is that B-Bash has just played his wildcard (active this week), so we are wondering what that will do to his position over the coming game weeks. In second spot, James101 continues to work his way up the global rankings, moving to 628 overall, up from the mid-900’s last time round. FF247 have recently published interviews with both these managers, to gain what insight we can from their differing approaches.
The knights of ni have moved up two to third spot, with a very impressive 1,435 points, pushing our own Cookie back one place to fourth – a mere 2 points separate these two now, so we will watch developments with interest. Herewegoagain move two places up to fifth spot, on 1,420, followed closely behind by Peps Packers, also up two. Catch me if you Kun are another riser, in at seventh, with all these risers pushing Robin Van Pricey down from fourth to eighth. New entrant Dhula United storm into the top ten with an excellent 70 points for the week, with JTFC moving up one spot from eleventh to tenth, edging out last month’s number 6, Shane-PAIN FC, by just 3 points. In short, it remains pretty close!
The Monthly League
A new month, and a new Monthly League leader, with The Expendables returning an excellent 209 points for the first 3 game weeks; 84 points in this game week alone, a score with a weekly global ranking of 4,000, well done! A single point behind (after hits are factored in), Bocadillo Allstars are in second spot on 208 points for the month and it looks like being a real tussle between those two over the next couple of game weeks. That said, our joint third placed teams, fc sanchez and fc tom tomsk are both easily within fighting distance, on 200 points. Serendipity United (last month’s 5th ranked team) and cola toure hold joint fifth at this stage, 3 points back on 197.
The wonderfully named (if you like your movies) White Boys Day move into seventh spot this week, sharing it ominously with Barntons Bashers, our winner last month. One point further back in ninth are inter ma’nan, who placed tenth last month. Making up our top ten are two teams; creative name team and underdogs, both on 193 points. So the spread between the top ten teams is a mere 16 points, nothing really over a game week, let alone more. Everything still to play for in our opinion!
Many thanks as always to elleffcee for verifying 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.

my starting 11 already took a -4 point hit
Krul
Coleman(doubt) koscielny fonte
silva hazard cabaye Lallana
Suarez aguero j rod
We zijn terug, maar niet lang weggeweest, want we zeggen steeds het is maar effe feest voor de concurrentie. 😉
Have to wait 2 whole days to activate my wildcard. Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Hoping some sweet will happen last minute, at the moment I have Coleman and Silva as doubts.
Raziel, here’s google translate for you!
We are back, but not gone long because we always say it’s just smoothing feast for the competition.
Btw, I’m benching Coleman next GW anyways and I sold Silva for Mata.
I know what it means, it’s Dutch. 😉
Daring move, selling Silva for Mata. Silva gathers and average of around 5-10 points per gameweek. I think he’s one of the most concistent mids in the EPL, think he gives about 4 key passes a game. On that note, I’m getting Mata. Not sure what the plan will be for the Wildcard next tuesday.
Aaah yes, Pool versus Everton will be a game full of goals (I think) like the last one (3-3). In the last game Coleman scored or got an assist. Coleman seems to be a must this season. If I swap him for Distin I can buff up other areas though, but I’ll check that out tuesday. 😉
And it comes close. It’s an old rhyme from a very old Dutch hiphop group. If I tried to translate it, it would come across corny. Sounds funny in my language though. 😛
I mean your translation comes close. Sighs. I’ll be off now, talking ”shite” again. Plus need to fix my hair. MWAHAHAHA.
Completely un-related to fantasy, here’s my type of rap:
I also represent anyone on the receiving end of those jokes you offend
I’m the nightmare you fell asleep in and woke up still in
I’m your karma closing in with each stroke of a pen
Perfect time to have some remorse to show for your sin
Nope, it’s hopeless, I’m the denial that you’re hopelessly in
When they say all of this is approaching its end
But you refuse to believe that it’s over, here we go all over again
Back’s to the wall, I’m stacking up all them odds, toilet’s clogged
Yeah ‘cause I’m talking a lot of shit but I’m backing it all up
But in my head there’s a voice in the back and it hollas
After the track is demolished
I am your lack of a conscience
I’m the ringing in your ears
I’m the polyps on the back of your tonsils
Eating your vocal chords after your concerts
I’m your time that’s almost up that you haven’t acknowledged
Grab for some water but I’m that pill that’s too jagged to swallow
I’m the bullies you hate that you became
With every faggot you slaughtered
Coming back on you every woman you insult there
With the double-standards you have when it comes to your daughters
I represent everything you take for granted
EMINEM
Hi guys, need some help please
team is
Szczesny/Davis
Coleman/Zab/Kos/Ward/Chester
Yaya/Hazard/Cabaye/Lallana/Sterling
Aguero/Suarez/Jrod
2.4mil in bank.
1) what to do with the cash?? cabaye—>mata next week a good move?
2)lack of arsenal offensive coverage is annoying, maybe downgrade kos and upgrade sterling?
3) ramsey or eriksen needed??
I would get a playing second keeper, don’t double up on arsenal defence, chester is injured, kolarov is better than zab, sterling is unnecessary.
ok thanks veer. kos for who?? clyne? then get 2nd playing keeper. then cabaye–>mata and sterling—>wilshere.
Wilshere isn’t as good an option as Ramsey. And try to get either Eriksen or Adebayor. No point having both JRod and Lallana, so sell one of those. Kolarov would also be 0.5 cheaper, so would you have enough cash?
could do all of those, but that means no mata. thanks again veer
Hi all
Latest WC draft
Boruc Manonne
Turner Shaw Vlaar Coleman Mariappa
Noone Mata Johnson Yaya Hazard
Sturridge Suarez Aguero
Nothing in the bank, any feedback please??
Smithy
Team looking v good, but defence could possibly do with strengthening a bit.
Turner is injured with no return date, so you could do Turner to Bruce. O.4m in bank.
Boruc to Adrian (who rotate well) 0.4m in bank
Shaw to Kos or Sagna.
Defence is then Coleman (currently injured) Kos/Sagna and rotate Mariappa Bruce and Vlaar dependant on fixture
B-Bash
Cheers mate, great going by the way! I’ve had a think about what you said and I have this
Adrian Manonne
Bruce Kolorov Vlaar Coleman Mariappa
Noone Mata Johnson Yaya Hazard
Sturridge Suarez Aguero
This leaves me with nothing in the bank. Hows it look? I could downgrade Yaya to Silva and upgrade defence? Not sure that is best though??
Thanks Smithy!
Looks better to me. Kolorov Is a good choice.
I wouldnt do Yaya to Silva. Silva is only 75% to play
Dont see many teams with no Arsenal coverage!
B-~Bash
Arsenals fixtures get really tough! So you think I’m good to do with that? I notice your active as well, any chance of a peak?
Certainly Smithy
At this moment my 15 are
Adrian Mannone
Mertesacker Coleman Kolorov Gabbidon Bruce
Hazard Yaya Cabaye Eriksen Januzaj
Suarez Aguero Adebayor
B-Bash
I could have that team but Merte for Kos! Maybe I should do that looking at your ranking??
Still not settled on it mate. I think there will be at least 3 changes before deadline
Got to be carefull though as James is right on my tail with the Knights and Cookie getting a steam on ! :hippo:
Afternoon all,
Any preference out of the following?
Mata and Olsson
Or
Lallana and terry
Cheers
Mata and Olsson for me. Think Mata will make a massive impact
So not just because he’s flavour of the week then?
Terry and lallana are 3rd and 4th highest scoring in their positions. Will mata and Olson really score more over the rest of the season?
Lallana n Terry for me.
Well that’s one for each.
Anyone else?
Mata & Olsson for me !
Lallana or Gerrard long term?
