Fantasy Football Fixtures Gameweek 37 Welcome to the silly season! What do we mean by that? Well, there’s a theory that at this time of the season you should switch your fantasy allegiances to those teams that have something to play for and ditch those that perhaps don’t, despite having invested in them all season. Well is there any evidence to suggest that this is a plausible strategy...
Fantasy Football Fixtures Gameweek 35 A double gameweek can be a cruel mistress. The last one offered up the likes of Benteke, Austin and Phillips. This one has offered up the likes of Moreno, Schlupp and Bruce. We are only half way through it so we will reserve a final judgement, as the aforementioned three amigos all really just shone in the second half of theirs, but we aren’t holding out...
Fantasy Football Fixtures Gameweek 31 That was more like it! If GW29 left you feeling like a cold, lonely and stranded damsel in distress, GW30 soon arrived dressed as Prince Charming to whisk you away on a bed of fantasy points once more. It took a while to warm up though as Dopey (Aguero) blanked again in the early game leaving many wondering if GW29 had actually hung around. Bashful (Silva) loo...
Fantasy Football Fixtures Gameweek 29 GW28 finally came to a close on Saturday with Harry Kane grabbing a brace to appease the majority who backed him as captain. As Kane rounded Rob Green there was a collective groan that could be heard all over from those who didn’t back the Hurrikane just as he sealed the Spurs victory and his second goal and all three bonus points with it. If you didn...
Woofbet Tournament Spotlight Gameweek 27 – Fantasy Premier League Betting This must be the first time in Tournament Spotlight history where we can look back at the previous gameweek, nod in approval at our players and agree that they performed relatively like we expected. I’m also going to now take the next few sentences of your life to dwell in ones predictory success. Last week – watch you...
Fantasy Football Fixtures Gameweek 27 GW26 finally came to life at approximately 4.25PM on Saturday after a distinctly lame start to the week when suddenly Nemanja Matic got himself sent off and seemingly sent a tidal wave of activity as Bafetimbi Gomis scored what would prove to be the winner for Swansea, Mee then equalised against Chelsea, N’Doye grabbed a late winner for Hull, Vlaar got h...
Woofbet Tournament Spotlight Gameweek 26 – Fantasy Premier League Betting It’s almost been 10 days since the Premier League graced our television sets and our fantasy football teams last got a good run out. For some this break has been a time to reflect on last weekend and the season so far, for others it’s been a time test their managerial skills on the European stage and experience the hig...
Woofbet Tournament Spotlight Gameweek 25 – Fantasy Premier League Betting If you fell asleep for a few days or did something better like water your grass then don’t worry, you didn’t miss much. To briefly summarize this weekend the score lines were between 0-0 and 2-1 until Burnley and West Brom blessed us with a 4-goal thriller, and in terms of fantasy returns… your players probably didn’t ...
Fantasy Football Fixtures Gameweek 26 GW26 is all about whether to captain AB de Villiers or Dale Steyn and if India can overcome arch rivals Pakistan in the derby. Oh no hang on… sorry. Cricket cap off, football scarf back on. Yes, yes, we know and we make no apologies for spending a few bored FPL-less days talking about fantasy cricket but hey we are just addicted to fantasy games and it...
Fantasy Football Fixtures Gameweek 24 We need to talk about Jonathan. He’s generally a good lad and is a middle of the road achiever. He’s not exceptional, he’s not poor, he just does enough to get by. Now occasionally, such an average kid will turn up one day and completely out of the blue blow everyone else out of the water. For whatever reason, be it luck or timing he’s ...
Fantasy Football Fixtures Gameweek 23 Welcome back after a brief interlude due to the FA Cup ‘weekend’, we’d say it felt like a week but it nearly was once again as the TV companies have their say and dictate the fixture schedule. Even as we speak there are games ongoing and Stoke still have a game tomorrow night. As for GW22, many a moon ago, a couple of forwards at very differe...

To find the answers to these questions we have lured some regulars from out of their caves and got them to endure a simple Q&A session. H...
