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.

Ah so I’m not as far behind in the monthly league as I thought I was, 21 points is a little more manageable than 24 and I’m on a WC so although it’s tough it may be doable with another surprise (c) pick. (Benteke – Janujaz – Carzola?)
Anyone have any news on West Ham’s new midfielder Nocherino? I know he’s an International but will he be in to help with the Defense or in a more attacking role?
Dont think he’ll be allowed to move much forward with Nolan back. Should replicate Noble.
That’ll be good, I’ve been looking at having Nolan as my 4th Mid since the return of Carrol. Hope Andy can stay fit for awhile.
Mata is causing me relentless headaches
Just transfer him in an get done with it!
Me too mate!!! On wc and cant decide
Haha exactly the same! B you make a good case 😉
James the sensible option would be to not have him in your wildcard team but to give him a game or two to see how he does with a plan to bring him in if he does well.Don’t worry about his price rising.If you are really that keen to get him in straight away but aren’t sure about whether he will start against Cardiff,the teamsheets for tuesdays games are out before the transfer cut off time 😉
Ps. Stop thinking about it !!! :p
Thanks a lot brooky, you speak a lot of sense.. alright I will 😉
See you all Tuesday
haha, that team sheet may decide, laters!
No worries mate
Off out for dinner! Speak later
Money no object, right now who is your best 3rd forward right now (in add to Suar/Ague)? Cant see beyond Sturridge but interested to hear opionions
I still have Lukaku – but reckon you are right in Sturridge
RVP and Rooney could come back into reckoning too when back
ManCity sinking. 😮
where u watching it?
Shocking. A good team fielded too!
Someone was asking earlier about new WH signing, Nocerino. Here are some stats that will suggest why you should remain miles away from this guy.
1. Every time Nocerino dribbles, he has a 90 percent chance of losing the ball.
2. His tackle success percentage is below 50 .
3. He loses out in 75 percent of aerial contests.
4. When he shoots, there is a 75 percent chance it will miss the target.
5. His chances created per game output has been 0.6, 0.8 and 1.4 in his three seasons, respectively, at Milan.
Great, transferring him in now
haha
B – this some dastardly plan to keep his price down?
