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.

Well done to all who stuck with captain Lewa :good:
Stupid mistake here to go with Son
+1 :dash:
Sadly did not go with Lewa either, but Cpt Kane did not too badly. So trying to feel grateful.
61 Pts so far with my three 2 pointers to be replaced by Mane, Tagliofica and Laimer. Could be worse.
10 points from Son as a captain is too poor for FCL standards. Need to decide who is going to get the armband tomorrow, between Mane and Messi :scratch_one-s_head:
Messi has a Lewan ceiling in CL. Mane doesn’t really.
So true. Both pool and barca will fight to remain top of their groups but think Napoli will give more problems to pool than Dortmund to the others.
Haven’t all the Napoli players been fined 2.15 million Euros for refusing to go on a training retreat. They must be well cheesed off about that.I don’t think they will be trying too hard tomorrow
No idea but 2.15 mill sounds a bit too much.
8 players to go for tonight, let’s see. Messi captain over Mane makes sense, or does it :scratch_one-s_head:
I have Salah as well. Not sure if it makes it any better. Messi, Mane or Salah for capo?
From everywhere in the news Messi will win the Ballon D‘or on Monday. So he will do his best to put on a show if his team allows i would think.
Hope so Bees!
Any news on Haaland playing?
Marsch said yesterday that he’d been training and was fit to play and he was pictured training at the stadium.
Great…thanks Ivan.
Messi with a goal and assist so far and Liverpool already 1-0 down 😯
Did you go with the ‘ceiling’?
Yep, took your advise :good:
:don-t_mention: Could get a haul here.
Looking good for you Ivan! CS for Lenglet and MATS too.
Let’s hope that is the case bees. With 30 minutes still to go anything could happen.
By the way, thanks for the tip on Promes, he just scored
Bugger…there goes the CS. Hopefully Leo get a couple more. Fingers crossed that I get to see him lift the Ballon D’or on Monday
Haaland on for 25 minutes so far and has a goal and assist. Anyone not got him?
