How the FA Cup is shaping up after the fifth round
How the FA Cup is shaping up after the fifth round We’re now down to the last eight teams remaining in the FA Cup, after an unusual midweek fifth round took place, with action spread across Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. There were no huge shocks, with Bournemouth the last non-Premier League team remaining after they knocked out Burnley, while Everton and Tottenham Hotspur served up the greatest...
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 24
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 24 Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 24 Let the fun begin! We could be about to encounter a number of DGW’s on the bounce and DGW24 is the first of those, albeit with just the 4 teams playing twice. We begin on Saturday and end on Wednesday but it is also worth bearing in mind that DGW25 then starts less than 48hrs later, on Friday eveni...
FF247 FPL Team GW24
FF247 FPL Team GW24 Welcome to FF247 FPL Team GW24 A strategy?! As some of you may recall this was the week we took the plunge on two Burnley players – Nick Pope and Matt Lowton – as they had a nice little run of games and started those at home to improving but hardly world-beating Brighton. And then 10 minutes from half time, Lewis Dunk happened. Four points from our duo of new signings was hardl...
FPL Captain Picks Gameweek 24
FPL Captain Picks Gameweek 24 Welcome to FPL Captain Picks Gameweek 24 When a hero comes along… …with the strength to carry on. Etc. Said strength will have been tested to the limit as of late, in FPL. And elsewhere, of course. Especially for those who considered Soucek’s powers too much to resist. And subsequently played him ahead of the likes of DCL or even Gundogan. As we go into a ...
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 23
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 23 Another gameweek on top of the previous one.

FF247 FPL Team GW23
FF247 FPL Team GW23 Welcome to FF247 FPL Team GW23. Our score of 65 in GW22 saw us record our first red arrow in seven weeks, despite us beating the average of 57. This is what a failed captain (Salah), a blanking goalkeeper (McCarthy) and failures on the part of Dallas and Targett (one point apiece) brings. Luckily for us everyone else delivered – the mandatory clean sheet for Dias, assists aplen...
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 22
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 22 This is beginning to get exhausting, and that’s just sitting behind a computer or TV screen, we can only imagine what it is like for the players. Regardless, we go again on Tuesday, end on Thursday and begin again on Saturday. Tuesday begins with two 6pm games with Sheffield Utd welcoming Big Sam and Arsenal going off to bore Wolves. At 8.15pm the...
FF247 FPL Team GW22
FF247 FPL Team GW22 Welcome to FF247 FPL Team GW22 Who Wants To Be a Millionaire?! What a week (finally). We finally managed to play Targett and benefitted from him and luckily warded off a late Friday steer towards bringing in Joao Cancelo for a hit. We were close. We scored 73 points and a cool 25 above average having made only a single transfer, which sadly itself didn’t reap instant rewards wi...
Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW’s 20-23
Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW’s 20-23 GW19 is not quite finished but as far as this competition goes it’s as over as Liverpool’s title hopes (I jest of course). The reduced GW18 saw predictably low-scoring with just 2pts being the pickup for most of our competitors. However LittleRedLacazette mirrored his impressive FPL form to take top-spot with 6pts with 2nd place sh...

Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 21 Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 21 Relentlessly this season’s FPL schedule hurtles us straight into GW21 with Everton v Newcastle at Goodison on Saturday lunchtime – just 28 and a half hours after Liverpool dusted off Spurs to round out GW20. Following on Saturday we have three games kicking off simultaneously in what is...
FF247 FPL Team GW21
FF247 FPL Team GW21 Welcome to FF247 FPL Team GW21 meh /mɛ/ informal exclamation: meh expressing a lack of interest or enthusiasm. “meh, I’m not impressed so far” 48 points in GW20 and six above the average. ‘Meh’ about covers it. Our team did secure a green arrow in the overall rankings this week moving up to 1,141,741 from 1,201,188 – 59,447 places. Woo. Hoo. ...
