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.

Later on when Silva is fully fit again and Rooney has hopefully signed up for another 5 years, would you rather:
A) A Johnson and Rooney
B) Silva and Ade
… to play alongside Hazard, Mata, Eriksen, ???, ???, Aguero and Suarez. Thanks.
Haha gotta love unintentional emoticons 😛
it depends how deep Rooney is playing. As I think its more likely Mata will play wide, his transfer doesn’t influence how deep Rooney will be playing
for that reason its the sunglasses for me
Evening guys
This is my team:
Boruc, Mannone
Chester, Shaw, Koscielny, Coleman, Ward
Januzaj, Ozil, Silva, Hazard, Livermore
Sturridge, Aguero, Suarez.
1 FT, 0.2 in bank.
What move/s should i make ?
No need to make any changes squad is solid have you used your WC
This is the team I would play
Mannone
Coleman (if ok to play hopefully he is) koscielny ward or shaw
Januzaj silva hazard ozil
Sturridge aguero Suarez
Well it’s official Mata’s gone
Chelsea you fools.
Transferred him straight into my team. Come on the United quartet.
You have 4 of them Andy? 😮
For the one GW only. Doubling up on the Man U defense for their next two home games.
Doubling up on United at the back? You’re either a genius or… 😉
+1 on that Kop
+2!!!
I’ll remember to keep a keen eye on Potty’s prediction’s to see just how many goals you guys think Cardiff are going to score at Old Trafford on Tuesday.
Evening Initt!
I may go against my word from the other night mate! Mata has got me interested! :red-flag:
Evening B-Bash. It’s certainly an intriguing one and I think I almost certainly would if I could to be honest, especially given the fixture. His presence alone should lift the team and the crowd by 10%. Are you on WC this week, sorry I have forgotten?
Forgotten? You just don’t listen!!!
I am mate. Its pretty sorted apart from that one piece. Team list will be out before I have to press the button, so its wait and see. So much talk about where he’ll play and the affect on Rooneys role. I believe if he plays, he will be a reliable fpl player! You?
He should be and I would love to get him in from the off but I have other issues to address first unfortunately. Pencil him in mate for sure. He will play no doubt about that.
Time to buy mata?
I actually think he’ll live up to the hype – just dont know who to get him in for!
What are your options Bob? Evening young Sir, by the way!
Evening to you too innit!
Basically I sell Sturridge and Delph for a -4 or silva…
I do have navas and aguero so I think I might take the silva punt.
Sorry guys but sadly I have to go as I’m off to dinner – we’re havering fish out but it’s times like this that you can miss a good old trip to the chippy.
Bye!
You must have 1 in mind that your looking to sacrifice?
Yeah was thinking silva I think…
