Kops Fantasy Football Tips Game-week 23 Another week, another intro. I was going to carry out some research as NIN & Init did for their excellent Fixtures article but I’m far too lazy for that, so instead I’ll just waffle on for a few more sentences! FPL has shown some signs of late that it is set to become a little interesting again as the template begins to crumble, although another is bound...

Kops Fantasy Football Tips Game-week 17 Bah Humbug! Christmas is cancelled! Given the mood of many fantasy managers I suspect many would like to cancel Christmas. At this stage I would like to quote NIN from Sunday night, however I fear my editor wouldn’t be too impressed with the flavour of the language. So instead I’ll paraphrase, ‘this is a crap season’! But for those amongst you who share NIN’...

Kops Fantasy Football Tips Game-week 14 For a number of reasons I was forced to miss the last few weeks so before the waffle begins I’d like to thank both Init & Cookie for ensuring that Tips continued. You were in good hands as Cookie proved last week when he tipped Leicester’s Danny Simpson. Many laughed at our Cookie but he was to have the last laugh as Simpson pitched in with 10pts last we...

Kops Fantasy Football Tips Game-week 16 Get in! I suspect many of us shared such a reaction last Saturday afternoon when we checked the results and saw that Leicester’s Riyad Mahrez had scored a hat-trick. We then realised that the Algerian is currently FPL’s most popular player and features in over 60% of teams. This meant that his points were unlikely to have a significant impact on our rankings...

Kops Fantasy Football Tips Game-week 15 With Christmas now just a little more than three weeks away we expect many of you are preparing to get in the festive spirit but a word of warning to you all, now is not the time to take your eye off the ball when it comes to your fantasy team. Although given some of our rankings some of us have clearly not had our eye on the ball since August! For much of t...

Kops Fantasy Football Tips Game-week 11 Another game-week another introduction to write! If you haven’t worked it out by now I don’t particularly enjoy writing the introduction every week, so much so that I might just start reviewing films, TV shows or whatever else tickles my fancy in any given week, and I’m even open to suggestions. But for now I’d best stick to FPL! So let me make a number of b...

Kops Fantasy Football Tips Game-week 10 Great Scott!! It’s hard to believe that Back to the Future is 30 years old this year, makes you feel old, doesn’t it? With today being ‘Back to the Future’ day it got me thinking, wouldn’t it be great if we had an FPL DeLorean? We’d all have had Jamie Vardy from the start and we’d all have captained Georginio Wijnaldum last weekend, ok so we may not have cap...

Kops Fantasy Football Tips Game-week 9 After a tough start to the season fantasy managers around the globe were in desperate need of something special to ignite their season and then GW8 happened and in particular Sergio Aguero happened. The Argentine scored five times against a hapless Newcastle team and those who captained him raked in an incredible 50 points… spare a thought for those who...

Kops Fantasy Football Tips Game-week 8 Where do I begin? Seriously I’m at a loss at how best to describe the opening seven game-weeks of the season. Words such as carnage, disaster & catastrophe spring to mind but I’m not sure if they would do it justice. In previous seasons we had the old reliables who performed week in week out, they formed the bedrock of your team and you filled the rest in...

Kops Fantasy Football Tips Game-week 4 FPL managers we’re regularly told to remain patient and not to panic, but given the current circumstances it’s proving difficult to do either! Who could have predicted that United, City & Liverpool would keep three clean sheets in the first three games, that Kompany & Kolarov would amass 31 points in that period, that Riyad Mahrez would be the top poi...

Kops Fantasy Football Tips Game-week 3 As John McEnroe said time & time again, ‘you cannot be serious’! In GW1 the average score was 34pts which they said was an aberration. They said things would return to normality in GW2 and all would be right in the world again. Well they were wrong! While the average score increased to 44pts, predicting where the points are going to come from remains more...
