UEFA Champions League Fantasy Football 2019/20 GW5
Last chance saloon
Hello everyone and welcome to UEFA Champions League Fantasy Football 2019/20 GW5. ‘Last chance’ may be being over dramatic but with three teams already qualified, three who definitely can’t and a whole host of the remaining spots likely to be decided this week then this may be your last chance of seeing your ‘nailed on’ first team players in meaningful CL group stage action before rotation inevitably hits in GW6.
The main purposes of this article are threefold; to remind you to do your team, to provide a separate CL space to ask for help and advice from the community (and to hopefully reciprocate in that aim) and lastly just somewhere to chat about the games as they happen; a CL Live Match Chat if you like.
Who has qualified and who can’t…
Qualified
Bayern Munich
Juventus
Paris Saint-Germain
None of the above have yet secured top spot so expect to see minimal changes.
Eliminated
Galatasaray
Genk
Lille
It’s worth noting that even though the above cannot progress in the CL all do still have a slim chance of making 3rd spot and with a Europa League consolation place.
By powers of deduction we can then ascertain that the other 26 teams all still very much have something to play for.
Housekeeping GW5
The main points to consider this week are as follows;
-
- Transfers
You get two free transfers each week and this one is no different. You can choose to carry one over should you wish, but you will never get more than three in any GW, which means that you should have somewhere between 2 & 3 transfers for this week.
- Transfers
-
- Deadlines / Manual Subs / Captain Switches
There are two, essentially. The first and main one is at kick off on Tuesday which is 5.55pm UK time. You will get to see the line-ups of 4 teams prior to it (Galatasaray, Brugge, Lokomotiv and Leverkusen).
- Deadlines / Manual Subs / Captain Switches
The second is on Wednesday at the same time. This is the one before which you can change your team around, bring in your subs manually and also change your captain to a Wednesday player, if you so wish.
When setting your team up just make sure that all of your ‘Tuesday’ players are on the pitch to begin with, you can then bring your ‘Wednesday’ guys in prior to 5.55pm on that day. Likewise with your captain.
The Game Itself and the FF247 League Codes
You can access the game here – Fantasy Champions League
We have two leagues running;
Our official FF247 league code is 32NQYUI4KW
This one is the usual open air league that all and sundry are welcome to join; there are about 800 people in it. We have no idea who most of them are!
Our other one, the ‘Regulars League’ is now only open to new entrants via email
Please email us on contact@fantasyfootball247.co.uk if you want the code.
We did ask that people respected the purpose and integrity of this one; that is to say that you should only enter it if you consider yourself to be a Regular Community member on here. But this was unfortunately not adhered to. The phrase ‘this is why we can’t have nice things’ springs to mind. As a result we have booted about 50 people out of it who we do not recognise. If you find yourself suspended and feel you shouldn’t be then please just say so in the comments below and we shall happily reinstate you.

Hey guys. Don’t have much time to check the updates. Please suggest what should I do here??
Hey, I would probably upgrade Di Maria to Son as they have lots of options up front and I don’t know if he will play. you may need to downgrade one of your 5.5 def and If you have spare funds left I would bring in Parejo for Toussart
FYI – Ivan…saw on a Barca FB page last night that Lenglet is out injured. You may want to check into this.
Thanks bees, will get another one then :good:
By the way, the latest is that he is ready to play.
https://www.sport-english.com/en/news/barca/arthur–lenglet-set-to-return-for-big-game-against-borussia-dortmund-7749361
That is why I thought it best to check. You never know with info on social media.
All the best Ivan.
Gala v Brugge
Lokomotiv v Leverkusen
Hey lads. Can find little info on Halaand apart from him being a doubt because of a knee injury (was not even on bench last game [on Saturday.]). Anyone know any up-to-date news on whether e.g. he even travelled w/ the team, etc? Wonder if it’s worth getting a Salzburg attacker if it’s not Halaand…
Can’t find the squad announcement. I’ve left him in.
I’ve searched around but nothing apart doubtful and even doesn’t say what injury is. I think any other attacker from Salzburg is worth a try, they are scoring for fun this season.
Thanks lads…
Hmm, tough one. Currently don’t have him but need to find a replacement for Aguero (and maybe Mbappe).
Haaland, Timo Werner, Kane, Jesus in the running as they all have the capability and match-up this GW.
Already got Lewi and Mbappe (thinking of even transferring him out for another of the above).
Who do you think?
Kane or Jesus. Probably Kane as Jesus will need preserving once it’s in the bag.
Prolly go w/ Kane.
You reckon I should keep Mbappe? Already got Di Maria who’s been in fine form. And word is Neymar is on the bench if that changes anything.
OK, last minute dot com. Who is best captain choice for tonight?
Kane/Son/Sterling/Lewa
Lewa or Son as both are in fine form.
Cheers, going with Son :good2:
Have it on Son for now but might change to Lewa. Tough one
Well, we might be in for a surprise. Bayern have already qualified and Spurs are 99% in as well. Let’s hope at least all start. I am leaving it on Son.
Yeah I’m not sure if Gnarby will start also. Thinking of swapping him with Mueller.
I am staying with Gnarby, he is due a goal or couple of assists.
As for captaincy, pure lottery. It’s like the upcoming FPL GW 14, plenty of options, just mind boggling :wacko:
I’m going Lewa so that’s as good a hint as anything to avoid him
Good luck all!
Good luck buddy! :yes:
