Fantasy football Trends From The Top – GW15 Welcome to this week’s edition of Trends From the Top. While Crystal Palace and Everton have yet to play, I certainly have been kicking myself as I decided this was the week to bring in Kolarov (1 point). I also thought that this was a great time to bring in Ozil and that wouldn’t have been too bad if I hadn’t traded Arnautovic (16 points) while ta...
Captain Picks Fantasy Football Game-week 17 – Fantasy Premier League 2015/16 I’ve been summoned out of my winter slumber to provide this captains article to you all. Some of you may remember that I would write the weekly MLS column here… but since my Portland Timbers won the title, everything has been a bit foggy (could be the scotch or actual Portland fog), and I have to wonder if the...
Fantasy Football FF247 Team Game-week 16 There are so many words that could be used to describe this game-week and in particular our boo-boo behind the scenes when getting our team ready. However instead of sitting here and making a bunch of excuses, all we will say is that a mistake happened and we are moving on and hoping that we are able to reverse this season. There comes a time when a committ...
Team Talk Fantasy Football GW16 Welcome to GW16 and let’s face it, if it comes anywhere near to matching the drama of GW15 then we’re in for a fun and unpredictable ride – it started of course with City losing at Stoke, then Villa came close to a win at Southampton, those who benched Mahrez were placed on suicide watch, Chelsea lost at home to Bournemouth and finally Newcastle be...
Team Talk Fantasy Football GW15 The countdown to Christmas begins with the first weekend of Advent – trees will be erected, decorations hunted for in the cupboards, cards starting to be written and maybe even presents purchased. Exciting times – but as exciting as a 3-day game-week? Of course not!! Our week kicks off at Stoke as table topping City come to town. We then have a busy afte...
Fantasy Football FF247 Team Game-week 15 After last week’s backing by the board, the team committee felt confident that they would be given time to straighten out this mess, in particular because the same members of the team committee also form the board. Having said that, we are proud to announce that we (the board) have given a pay rise to the team committee members as a sign of good faith...
Fantasy Football FF247 Team Game-week 14 After three successive green arrows, and things starting to look rosy again, we have now somehow recorded another three successive reds! We plunged over 70,000 places this week. Let that sink in for a second. 70,000 places… This time last season 700 would have felt like a dagger. 7000 would have been a mortal blow and panic stations. It’s time t...
Fantasy football Trends From The Top – GW16 Welcome to this week’s edition of Trends From the Top. Once again, the gameweek has not yet ended as Leicester and Chelsea have yet to play, but nonetheless it’s always interesting to take a peek at the current trends amongst this week’s leaders. It is interesting to note that sometimes, because of the weekly fluctuation of leaders, we will see var...
Fantasy Football Pottys Predictions Game-week 16 Welcome to game-week 16 you Potty Punters and what a week it has been so far – Swansea sack their manager, United crash out of the Champions League while Arsenal secure qualification with a great win in Greece. But the highlight of course was watching those horrified FPL managers who benched Mahrez last week as the midfielder bagged a hatty!! ...
Captain Picks Fantasy Football Game-week 16 – Fantasy Premier League 2015/16 We often consider the captain choice to be a personal affair, we don’t know why really, but we often shy from pushing someone in a particular direction when asked directly, either on here or on twitter. It just feels more ‘personal’ and perhaps that’s because the choice is often, and ultimate...
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Game-week 15 – Fantasy Premier League 2015/16 GW15 is live! Nothing like a lunch time kick-off to get the scoring going, or is there? A match up between Stoke and Man City is a fixture between the top scoring team versus the worst. Kinda hard to gauge if this will be a City at their mauling best or a Stoke at their boring best. After that affair we have six g...
Fantasy Football Fixtures Game-week 16 Sometimes the light at the end of the tunnel is a famished polar bear with a torch. Sometimes the cute co-worker you’ve scored a date with is a recluse with an unhealthy penchant for cannibalism. Sometimes hope is a dangerous thing. Take Liverpool and Chelsea. Demonstrating all the rash prematurity of a teenage boy fapping himself blind, the mainstream ...
