New Fantasy Premier League Transfers 2019/20 – Che Adams and Joelinton A tale of two £6m strikers. A tale of red cards, mediocre statistics, wishful thinking, youthful promise, Mike Ashley, Steve Bruce, Mark Hughes (yes!), anti-Moneyball, stating the bleeding obvious, dodgy hamstrings, James Beattie (yes!) and smoke & mirrors. A more positive intro you’d be hard pressed to find… and you’re probably thinking you know where this one is going already. And you’d probably be right to be fair. But don’t judge just yet, let’s go see if we can find some p...[Read More]

New Fantasy Premier League Transfers 2019/20 – Fornals, Haller and Jay Rodriguez Why did I pick these three then? I ask myself as I write an intro I wasn’t expecting to have to write. Well in complete fairness, I don’t know, I looked at the list and picked these three so I’d given myself a task to research and I got on with it. The result is that I now have all three in my latest draft – I can convince myself if no one else. FPL needs to begin soon as I’m on draft 6,489,432. Join me as I write about a returning homeboy and two new boys down Stratford way. Jay Rodr...[Read More]

Welcome to Promoted Teams Analysis: Aston Villa. There aren’t many things you can be sure on in this world – especially at the moment when you look at politics – but one of the few things you can rely on is that the one and only Aston Villa fan in the FF247 crew just had to write the appraisal on the club’s chances this season, as they achieved promotion the hard way. From watching the gradual decline of the claret and blues’ fortunes – both on and off the pitch – to hiding behind the cushion as they scraped past West Brom and Derby County in the play offs, I have seen a lot. You can be sure o...[Read More]

New Fantasy Premier League Transfers 2019/20 – Wan-Bissaka, Ayoze Perez and Ndombele It’s been a relatively quiet summer here at FF247, tempered somewhat in recent weeks by the unexpected early release of the FPL game. As the site starts to awaken from its slumber with a slew of not too dissimilar RMT’s (we can all sink or swim together yeah?) its time for us to start looking at new signings. First up we have two players you’ll be familiar with who have now moved on to pastures new, and finally a look at a shiny new player, who whilst he may not be considered as an FPL asset (just yet), ...[Read More]

Promoted Teams Analysis: Norwich Looking at Norwich as Fantasy Prospects for the New Season Norwich City’s promotion to the Premier League almost felt destined to happen as the later weeks of the Championship season came by. The Canaries only lost six fixtures last season and won the most games with 27 victories in the second-tier. They will be a welcome addition to the Premier League next season, and there will be anticipation to see some of their star performers and how they can transition to life in the top flight. Many will be aware of the qualities that the Canaries have but will also be ...[Read More]

Promoted teams analysis: Sheffield United Welcome to the second instalment of our Promoted Teams Analysis. In this one we look at Sheffield United. You might be wondering how I got this gig. It would be perfectly reasonable to presume that a Southerner devised the rota and decided that, as a Northerner, I know everything about the north of England. It is true, everyone in the North knows everyone. It would also be perfectly reasonable to presume that I was stupid enough to tell everyone that I had selected Sheffield United as my ‘favourite team’ on the FPL website. Unfortunately, this one is t...[Read More]
