Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Game-week 5 – Fantasy Premier League 2014/15 The deadline bell has rung and your decisions are now final! This could actually be a tough week for fantasy managers. A lot of the usual, ‘obvious’ candidates are away from home and even those that aren’t have difficult games on paper. Arsenal, Liverpool, Southampton, Man Utd and Chelsea are all ...
Fantasy Football FF247 Team Gameweek 5 GW4 went pretty well for us as we scored 64pts, 12pts above the average. Bearing in mind we captained the benched Raheem Sterling, who’s 30min cameo produced just 2pts for us, we were relatively happy, if somewhat annoyed with Brendan Rodgers! Our main performers were Fabregas, Costa and Di Maria late on in the gameweek, while Aguero chipped in with a g...
Team Talk Fantasy Football GW5 Welcome to GW5 and it’s at this point that the leagues are starting to take shape, both in the Premier League and also in our own little fantasy world. Whether your captain choice made or broke your GW4, it’s time to move on, re-focus and knuckle down to the joys that await us this week. It’s a lovely short 2-day gameweek that kicks off Saturday lun...
Kops Fantasy Football Tips Game-week 5 With the Champions League having kicked off it means we are now into the season of rotation and it started last weekend with many fantasy managers suffering a kick in the teeth as Brendan Rodgers chose to rest Raheem Sterling ahead of the visit of the mighty Ludogorets on Tuesday night. What this goes to prove is that that fantasy football is a squad game and...
Fantasy Football Captains Picks Gameweek 5 23.93%. That’s almost a quarter. (Grade A, GCSE Maths.) That’s how many voters in last week’s FF247 poll said they planned to captain Raheem Sterling. And that’s without including the 8 jokers that “said” they were going to captain Dwight Gayle. If we extrapolate that % out across the entire FPL population, that’s a whopping 773,435 people trusting the ar...
Fantasy Football Fixtures Gameweek 5 – Fantasy Premier League 2014 One man grabbed all the headlines on Saturday with a stunning hat-trick to stake his claim as the number one ‘must-have’ fantasy pick this season. Deigo Costa racked up a whopping 17 points. If you captained him then even better and well done but that number was down a bit due to his ‘will he, won’t he...
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Game-week 4 – Fantasy Premier League 2014/15 The deadline bell has rung…did you play your wildcard or have you decided to hold onto it a little longer? Some will be happy with their decision while others will castigate themselves! The first game-week after an international break always makes for fun and games as we have to deal with those ‘international injur...
Fantasy Football FF247 Team Gameweek 4 WILDCARD! Ok, so errrm, well, how do we put this, we have a small confession to make! We are on a WILDCARD! It wasn’t planned and it took us a bit by surprise to be honest but when we settled down around the boardroom table and took a look at our squad, or rather what was left of it after the international break had done it’s worst, there was a un...
Team Talk Fantasy Football GW4 Finally, GW4 is here, thank the Lord or whoever one thanks in this situation. Wildcard talk is soooo yesterday and we can all move onto counting our riches as our players prove us right in including them….or sadly wrong for neglecting them. It’s a 3-day gameweek, a treat for us deserving and long-suffering managers who have spent the last fortnight worryi...
Kops Fantasy Football Tips Game-week 4 These international breaks become more and more tedious, particularly as they are now spread out over four nights…good one Michel! Not only are these breaks tedious, but they can also prove detrimental to an FPL squad and at the time of writing, leading FPL players such as Ramsey, Hazard, Costa & Sturridge are all yellow flagged although only time will t...
Fantasy Football Captains Picks Gameweek 4 When asked by the FF247 beaks if I would like to help out with the captains article, without a moments hesitation I said ‘yes’. Then a few minutes later I thought… I HATE the captain rule. Absolutely essential to the game I admit and I would never want to see it taken away but are you like me? Do you see the ‘Team of the Week’ being boosted by a rel...
Fantasy Football Fixtures Gameweek 4 – Fantasy Premier League 2014 Aaaaand breathe out….. FPL returns this coming weekend after being rudely interrupted so early on in proceedings by the international break just so that we could be reminded that the future of English football is about as bleak and bland as the past was. Anyway don’t get us started on that little lot as it’s...
