Fantasy Football 247 Site Team News Gameweek 31 No Salah, no Son, no problem Welcome to FF247 Site Team GW31 I wasn’t going to write about which player scored us what points this week. However, somebody else beat me to the article so here it is: It was heaven and hell at the back this week – Konsa did the heavy lifting with a mighty 15 points but Petrovic, VVD and Zabarnyi (whooo?!) all came up with just another 5 between them. Saliba smiled on from the bench with 7 of his own. Captain Palmer was our star man with 30, with Bowen pulling in 10. Foden and Saka had a literal stalemate with just the 3 each. Up top Solanke got us his now customary goal for 7, but Haaland and Watkins stayed quiet with 2 & 1 respectively. We smashed the average of 47 with 76 of our own. This meant a gr...[Read More]
Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW31
Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW31 Welcome to Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW31 It’s a quick turnaround this week so no results (we think / just assume that James is probably in a gutter somewhere after a long bank holiday weekend!). Get posting… THIS WEEK’S COMPETITION… scoring couldn’t be much simpler: • Correct Score —> 3 points; • Correct Result —> 1 point; and • Correct First Goalscorer of the Gameweek —> 5 points. To clarify, this is who you think will score the first goal of the entire Gameweek, not just in any given match that you choose to pick yourself! Points above are awarded on an ‘either / or’ basis, so you’ll either score 3 points for a Correct Score or just 1 point for a Correct Result, and these are never added together for...[Read More]
FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 30
FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 30 Welcome to FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 30 10 games. AKA a proper GW. Not 4. AKA one that you could simply add to another GW to make a DGW. Anyway… GW30 lasts just the two days, with Saturday doing the heavy lifting, to the tune of 8 games. Newcastle and West Ham kick us off at 12.30pm. We then have five at 3pm with Bournemouth v Everton, Chelsea v Burnley, Forest v Palace, Sheffield Utd v Fulham and Spurs v Luton. Villa and Wolves go at 5.30pm before Brentford v Man Utd at 8pm. That just leaves the two on Sunday with Liverpool v Brighton at 2pm and then the latest title decider* between Man City & Arsenal at 4.30pm. *it isn’t – Sky just seem to bill every other game as one these days! The games in full… Keep track of all the act...[Read More]

Fantasy Football 247 Site Team Gameweek 30 Free sHit Welcome to FF247 Site Team Gameweek 30 As we come to the end of an international break – when we found out that England won’t win the Euros with that defence, where Endrick is the only 17-year-old to do anything (ever), where Ukraine, Poland (sorry Wales) and Georgia book their spots for the summer and Scotland would be as well to hand theirs back – we at last have some FPL to get stuck back into. We begin by reviewing the previous week and Gameweek 29, which we kind of had wiped from the memory. Well …. we were above the average. By just three points, and that average was 12 (T W E L V E ). So unsurprisingly it was a red arrow leading into Gameweek 30. We drop 482 places to 2692 overall. It’s our second con...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 30
Fantasy Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 30 Welcome back! It’s been a while, but it’s probably also fair to say that, for once at least, we were probably all grateful for a prolonged international break, after the disaster that was BGW29. We shall not dwell on that one, and dig up further nightmares of Free Hit 18 point weeks, and the sort. The good news is that the big hitters are back this week (in theory…) and that by captaining one of them successfully, he could on his own outscore your entire team from last week! Wouldn’t be too difficult. To add to the lustre there are actually a good few options to consider this week, and for once one of them is not even called Haaland. Shock, horror. You could go there of course, but with a tight top of the table clas...[Read More]
Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW30
Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW30 Welcome to Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW30 Game week 29 was an awful game week for many reasons we’ll not get into here, but clearly we are not immnune in our seemingly safe little predictions bubble. 17 people didn’t even manage a single point, I should know, I was one of them. Thankfully some people did get some points! 9 people managed 3pts, they share third place, so congrats to M-Salah, Albox, eplnoob, RafflesHotspur, Gavy, sweetbluetoffee, Mfon3667, Shrivathsa and piksi. Swirly, Stone Frog and mahelmy all scored 4pts, which feels huge in such a barren week, but they’ll have to be happy with second place. With what feels like an epic 6pts we have Elleffcee, PM and pjlill. With the FGS prediction just 2...[Read More]

FPL Live Match Chat BGW29 Welcome to FPL Live Match Chat BGW29 And now for the shortest GW ever… At least this won’t take too long to write! Three games on Saturday with Burnley v Brentford and Luton v Forest at 3pm, followed by Fulham and Spurs at 5.30pm. West Ham and Villa finish the ‘GW’ off at 2pm on Sunday. And that’s it. Why on earth they cannot just put that into another GW and make it into an exciting double I will never know.

Fantasy Football 247 Site Team News Gameweek BGW29
Fantasy Football 247 Site Team News Gameweek BGW29 No Son, no smiles Welcome to FF247 Site Team BGW29 The double-game week was something of a letdown in more ways than one. As is often the case, however, it was a single-game week player who was to blame for our demise. In a game week where most of the popular players blanked, two did not. We had one (Palmer 13pts) but sadly we didn’t have the other (Son 17pts). Sigh. Every one of our other single-game week players blanked, with 7 of our 11 picking up 2pts and Batman just the 1. After Bournemouth’s first game of the double, we were beginning to wonder if bringing in Solanke and Zabarnyi had been an error with just 1pt between both of them following Solanke’s (C) miss and the 2 goals conceded. It didn’t look much bett...[Read More]
To Free Hit, or not to Free Hit – BGW29
To Free Hit, or not to Free Hit – BGW29 Welcome to To Free Hit, or not to Free Hit – BGW29 Carrying on with our recent theme of asking the writing team to simply stick their own teams up, and then talk us through their plans to negotiate things like DGW’s, here comes the real challenging one – a BGW, with… 4 fixtures! And not particularly great ones at that. We have all heard the threats of Free Hit teams, and others saying they will simply live with whatever they can get from it, so now is ‘put up or shut up’ time. Show us your all singing, all dancing free hit wonders, or indeed the distinct lack of them. Oh, and give a brief explanation. Very brief. To Free Hit… GEAR Brief you say? Reason I’m on a Free Hit: See Jamie’s team bel...[Read More]
Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions BGW29
Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions BGW29 Welcome to Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions BGW29 As promised we have 2 weeks worth of results to catch up on and there were some huge scores. I always judge the scores on my own performance, and given that I managed just 5 and 4 across the 2 weeks is both embarrassing and concerning as my stranglehold on the top of the table is starting to look very fragile indeed! GW27 – Just 5pts for yours truly as like many I failed to predict the FGS and it seems just about everything else! Thankfully there are a lot of predictors who are far more astute. hammerfan_Im takes this week’s 3rd place with a today 13pts, in second it was shared spoils for both Ko NAY and Reg83 – both with 15pts, but out in front with a solid 12 t...[Read More]
FPL Live Match Chat Double Gameweek 28
FPL Live Match Chat Double Gameweek 28 Welcome to FPL Live Match Chat Double Gameweek 28 It’s a HUGE DGW! Bournemouth and Luton play twice… Oh. Hang on. Is that it? Yes, that’s it. But hey, get excited we all will, and chase those double points we will. A bit. Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe in a token gesture type of way, we shall wave the odd player at it and hope for the best. Either way, there are also 18 others in action too. Cherish that though, in comparison to next week this is a veritable feast, akin to a month long World Cup. Man Utd and Everton get us under way at 12.30pm on Saturday. This followed by three 3pm’ers with our new DGW heroes Bournemouth and Luton playing Sheffield Utd and Palace respectively. Exciting, eh? Wolves and Fulham is the other. Arsenal can...[Read More]
Fantasy Football 247 Site Team News Double Gameweek 28
Fantasy Football 247 Site Team News Double Gameweek 28 The Mythical. The Illusive. The Clean Sheet Welcome to Fantasy Football 247 Site Team News Double Gameweek 28 We are just can’t do much wrong this season and after Sven Botman was the villain of GW26, he made up for it with a solid 6 point return in the 3-0 win over Wolves. We didn’t just get Botman’s clean sheet, we got two… no wait THREE clean sheets! Like HOLY CRAP I almost forgot what those were! To join Botman in keeping the ball out of the net were Big Virg and Saliba. We had triple 6 across our defenders but a massive 13 points from The Nipple and he didn’t even keep the ball from going past him but Areola’s 9 saves, 3 bonus and a penalty save helped earn a double digit score. We got two more ...[Read More]
