Hello! Firstly, we’d like to afford you a very warm welcome to Fantasy Football 247, the website that has been designed and created to offer all FPL managers a wide range of help, advice and up-to-date news whilst maintaining a friendly, welcoming and fun community feel.
Please take your time to tour the site and see what is on offer, but allow us to briefly talk you through what we will bring you.
There will be a wide range of core articles published in order to help managers prepare for the upcoming gameweek(s). Namely – Fixtures, Captain’s Stats, Tips, Weekend Team News, Live Game Chat & Saturday and Sunday Matchday Reviews.
We also plan to publish ad hoc articles, such as Interviews with a variety of managers, Player Profiles etc. The infamous and ever-popular Banterbury Leagues will be run by Bench and there will also be twice weekly Prediction Competitions hosted by Potty.
There is of course, an interactive chat room available, which we would encourage you all to post comments on in order to seek advice and help and to reciprocate this to other managers’ and discuss thoughts on your line-up, transfer plans and other issues that affect your FPL team.
To get involved in the chat, you will need to register with Fantasy Football 247 – details of how to do this can be found on the “Register” tab at the top of the page – its very simple. We would also encourage you to set up a “gravatar”, which will then link to your name every time you comment on the site and will make you instantly recognisable at a moment’s glance – this proves especially useful when you are seeking advice and other managers can spot you easily and reply to your posts.
If you are on social media, please follow us on Twitter and like us on Facebook – both of which will provide instant information, news, ideas and chat.
Welcome again and we hope you enjoy Fantasy Football 247.

Gallowgate
Evening Cookie, just asked Hop, how do you use emoticons on here?
Cookie
Gallow you have to literally type a colon either side of spelling the word.
ie if you wanted the beer one you would type, : then the word beer then another colon, with no spaces in between.
Gallowgate
Ahh got it Cookie, never saw there was another page.
So if I wanted to describe the mercs it would be :whatever: or is it : whatever :
Gallowgate
Got it now cookie
So the mercs are a bunch of :whatever:
I like it

Kop Warrior
Evening Gallow…
I’m cant comment for FFC but as far as I know it will continue in its current form.
Gallowgate
How do you use emoticons on this site Kop?
Fergies Henchman
Gallow there is an instruction on the home page I think
Mito21
For instance Gallow, if I wanted to comment on FH. I say :stupid:
Kop Warrior
Cookie has explained it beautifully above and as Fergie has kindly indicated, there is an instruction page.

Evening guys

Evening GP, how are you mate? Nice to see you on here, welcome onboard !!
gpriley
I’m great yes, how about you. See your my draw in the next round of the banterbury cup
Cookie
I’m well thanks GP. Yeah I saw the draw – should be a great match-up, we’ll have Bench selling tickets for it and Potty running a special competition !!!
Kop Warrior
Evening GP…good to see you.
hammers
Site looks fantastic guys, as a previous reader of FFC I’m looking forward to it.
One question though – Are any of the founders going to be posting their teams up as they go along like the former best fantasy footy site on the net?
Cookie
Hey Hammers, welcome to the site – glad you found us!
It’s certainly something we’ll look to do in some shape or form, but we wanted to get the core articles going first, let the site settle down and then we’ll take a look at the best way of doing it.
Appreciate your ideas – constructive feedback is just what we want !
hammers
Cheers cookie,
We’ll looks like you’re all doing a good job so far.
Obviously the articles and chat are what gets you reading the site so yeah probably best to concentrate on that first.
Then you need a trump card which separates you from the rest. Posting the team was in my opinion what made FFC the best site out there.
Good luck with the site and of course your FPL teams
Bench@BanterburyLeagues
Any of you guys get my e mail ?
Cookie
Not me Bench I’m afraid.
Bench@BanterburyLeagues
Not you guys the rest of the Banterbury Leagues telling them about our new home
Kop Warrior
Don’t think so Bench.
migs
Evening gents
Cookie
Ah my favourite Pork n Cheese – all good mate?

Very good cookie! The Boks took care of the scots. Anyone know the reason as to why the game was on a Sunday? Site is looking tip top by the way
Cookie
The only thing I can think of is for tv scheduling, bearing in mind England & Ireland both played yesterday.
migs
Ah ok I see. Late here in SA, off now cheers guys! Keen for the banter to start rolling on here!!
