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.
Kop, Floydeth, Inittowinit & Cookie
Evening Cookie, hows things over in the sunny Uk?!
Morning nz al, how you keeping mate ? Looking after your team i hope, got our cup game coming up soon, good luck. :finger:
Hey Alex, hopefully its pissing down as i’m not there !!! All ready for the Ashes mate ?
My bad Cookie, where in the world are you? Certainly am, can’t wait! Think we will beat Aussie, but will be closer than previously. Are you doing Fantasy Ashes? Eddie has a mini league (post 41.1).
Morning NZ…Cookie is half French!
Hey Alex, i’m doing in the south of France old boy ! I agree on the Ashes, think it’ll be a lot closer than some are thinking, but hopefully i’m wrong. I’m just sorting my fantasy Ashes team now, funnily enough – you in ?!
Certainly am cookster! Team in the mini league and if it’s anything like my fantasy football team (or real football team for that matter!) will be languishing at the bottom! Right off to bed. Talk soon.
Kop, + half good egg. :finger:

Morning James. Welcome mate, all good?
Ha!
I’d blush if I was less manly n stuff…
Alls good with me. Love this place. Very slick.
You’ve done well lads.
James, great to see you on the site mate, sort your Grav out pal!!
Hey Eduardo!
I thought it’d follow me mate.
Will do.
It should just appear. I’m using the same email I believe.
Will check that.
Cookie, I assume you are largely responsible for this wonderful site. Which other lads helped you ? Bench…Kop…?
Top stuff but who takes the credit ?
Morning Albert – far far from it my friend – read the “About 247” page and it will reveal all !
I inspired them all
Potty
Albert, welcome to the site pal, check out the FF247 Ashes League if youre up for it

This is open to everybody so get your teams sorted now, Ashes starts on Thursday Aus time which is Midnight UK this Wednesday
Deja viewed this once before…
Well pull your finger out and get involved James!! What do you think of the site buddy, lots of articles and comps to keep you occupied and out of trouble!!
Genuinely impressed.
It’s what “other sites” should have been.
Eddy.
Looks like James has phone trouble?
Potty
Eddie – I’ll be at the game on Thursday… Bring it on boys
farqs – Have you got a team in Eddy’s league? I need to beat as many poms & aussies as possible!!!
kw, so we are poms now?
Not yet mate but I’ll give it a shot. I live in brissie and it could be a draw with the wild weather we’ve had this week. Cricket ball sized hail fell 100km north yesterday, and also a few days ago in T’ba
Eddy – Nah ye’re not really, I’ll be supporting your boys. There were two Aussie blokes sitting behind me at the game on Saturday and all one of them did was talk sh1te!!
Kop, was Deano sat behind you at the Rugby?
Now that you mention it….
Very Jealous Farqs, enjoy mate. Im in the Barmy Army and was looking at what they are laying on for the fans, it look brilliant mate
Farqs, check out the FF247 Ashes League if youre up for it

Love the army Eddie but as a local we’ll be reliving stories about ’01 and the good ole days. Been a while since you lot beat us at the Gabba. First day of the Ashes is a great day to get on the turps… Just hope the weather holds out
Farqs, check this out for the craic mate
http://www.barmyarmy.com/tours/index.php?m=viewinfo
BA HQ is at the Pig n Whistle for the 1st test
Farqs – Who’s most likely to be the 12th man for the 1st test? Faulkner?
No worries Farqs, good luck for series (but not too much luck!)
Kop I think watson will play leaving Faulkner on the pine. He’ll only bat from all reports locally
Cheers Farqs, I was hoping Faulkner would play as he’d fit nicely into my team. I was reading on cricinfo earlier that Watson has done some bowling in the nets and might be ready for the Gabba.
So what do we reckon, do the Aussies need to win the first test to stand any chance in the series?
England’s build up has not been perfect…
Not perfect James but that has been more to do with the weather than anything else. The only concern I’d have is the 3rd pace bowler, it looks like they’ll go with Tremlett and while he did well down under last time around he hasn’t done much since!
I reckon so James, particularly as England are usually at their most vulnerable at the beginning of the series.
James, any result for us at the Gabba is a bonus, but i dont think they have the depth to win the urn back. They named their 12 man squad very early but then they didnt have a lot to chose from. Bailey got his place ahead of Alex Doolan…………….. I know very little of doolan……..
Quick sing song for Farqs and Deano-
The Johnson Family
His mother hates his missus
His missus hates his mother
They all hate each other
The Johnson Family
de le la le de le la le de le la le
Sounds like Christmas at the Giggs residence…
Here’s another Eddy…
He bowls to the left
He bowls to the right
That Mitchell Johnson
His bowling is shite…
I was going to put up the lyrics to We sha**ed Matilda” but thought better not on the sites first day!!
Albert, that faceache wrongun will probably appear in a minute and claim all the credit for the new site. :ban:
