Grab, Avoid or Bore Off! – Fantasy Premier League 2018-19
Grab, Avoid or Bore Off! – Fantasy Premier League 2018-19 International break time can only mean one thing, it is ‘Bore off’ time. This time around we have brought some fresh faces in while still keeping one from the old guard. Smash makes his second appearance on GABO, you will usually find him on Team News covering pressers where he is always fighting with Wolves & Watford and misspelling Doucouré, much to Frenchie’s delight. Kralin makes his debut. I haven’t crossed paths often with Kralin on the boards so I asked someone to describe him for me and this is...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Diary – Game-weeks 3 & 4
Fantasy Football Diary – GWs 3 & 4 Welcome to the second instalment of my FPL diary. Going into Game-week 3 I sit in 240,686th place having scored 79 & 80pts in Game-weeks 1 & 2. Not a bad start, better than usual to be fair, but it could and should have been better. A time for patience or a time to be aggressive? Hmmm we shall see! On a personal front, our move to the UK gets closer and at the time of writing I am winning the box-packing contest with the Mrs by 10-0. All our flights back to the UK are now booked – no turning back now. Pretty sad but great for the kids and th...[Read More]
MLS Tips Fantasy Major League Soccer GW28
Another big double game week is behind us. As expected there were quite a few rotations, which led to the usual frustration of single game week players like Rusnak (20pts), Vela (19pts) and Kreilach (18pts) outscoring many of the chosen DGW players like Valeri (5pts) and BWP (2pts). Nevertheless, we witnessed 55 goals including six braces and a hat trick. The highlight of the week went to Seattle Sounders, making a season longest winning streak (8) in the post shootout MLS era. In the meantime, one of their prominent stars, American soccer legend Clint Dempsey, announced his retirement. He fin...[Read More]

The Very Hard FF247 Quiz #1 Okay Ladies, Gents and the Inbetweenies, it is our pleasure to offer you the first of an occasional series of quizzes to entertain you during the International breaks or when I’m bored and have nothing better to do.

Now here’s the thing, we need you to post your answers in the same order as the questions; we know it’s bleedin’ obvious but we’ve seen you handle Harry & Lloyd’s…...[Read More]

FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW4
FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW4 Green arrows, we see green arrows! Our 62pt haul has lifted us to 134,896 from 283k. Good progress. Our defence was again the highlight with Robertson’s clean sheet and Alonso’s assists – both also scored maximum bps while Mendy chipped in with a single bonus point despite conceding at Wolves. Salah capo was ok, could have been more, but he is solid again. Josh King even scored for us and Tom Cairney and Firmino got involved with an assist each. Hamer, Kun and Mkhi did nowt and we won’t even name the brainless Everton midfielder. Last Week’s Result Wh...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 4
Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 4 Hello everyone and welcome to Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 4. It’s been a long time since I’ve done this – writing for this site, that is. But I think I’ve got my hands properly on the home row of the keyboard, and I think that I’m ready to add unnecessary letters to common words again. All that’s left to do now is to just do the work. Here’s the thing though, the work ain’t easy this year, is it? Just look at the league table. Granted, it’s a limited sample size, but just look at it. If you’d have bet that Watford would be Top 4 going into Septem...[Read More]
Harry and Lloyd’s Predictions GW4
Harry and Lloyd’s Predictions GW4 Welcome to Harry and Lloyd’s Predictions GW4. Gameweek 3 is finally over and it saw City drop points, Arsenal finally win and Jose Mourinho demanding R-E-S-P-E-C-T (Must be wanting to pay homage to Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin!). Some very high scores this week as most fixtures went the way we expected with people even getting correct scores in most predictions. This week saw the first use of our tiebreaker as there was a tie for 1st between Smash and MattX (I swear I didn’t fix it!) on 15 points but Smash edges it due to guessing closest t...[Read More]
