Kops Fantasy Football Tips Game-week 2 Can we start again? Seriously?! No one in their wildest dreams or nightmares could have predicted that the average score for GW1 would be 34pts. I mean, not even the ‘experts’ could have predicted that Thibaut Courtois would be sent off! Before mass panic sets in it is worth remembering that this was a freak game-week, only two players in the GW1 ‘Dream Team’...
Kops Fantasy Football Tips Game-week 1 Welcome back! We’ve had a great summer of sport. The English U21s did what English teams do best, fail. Andy Murray remains Scottish following his semi-final defeat at Wimbledon. We had a Monday finish to The Open. Chris Froome won the Tour de France and in doing so had urine thrown over him. The Poms & the Convicts are in the midst of an epic battle for ...
New Signings – Fantasy Premier League 2015/16. Sterling Manchester City have been relatively busy over the last couple of weeks bringing in Fabian Delph & Patrick Roberts, although it remains to be seen if they join the likes of Scott Sinclair and Jack Rodwell on the list of players who have ruined their careers by moving to the Etihad. One player who is highly unlikely to join that list...
New Signings – Fantasy Premier League 2015/16. Benteke Liverpool strikers managed a total of just eight goals between them last season, so the Merseysiders were always going to dip into the transfer market for a new striker this summer and it hardly came as a surprise that that striker turned out to be Christian Benteke. Liverpool’s transfer policy over the past 25 years has been questionabl...
New Signings – Fantasy Premier League 2015/16. Milner, Ings, Firminho Liverpool were poor last season, actually they were worse than that but for the sake of our younger readers let’s stick with poor! Their defenders made a catalogue of errors over the course of the season, while up front they struggled for goals. It therefore comes as no surprise that Brendan Rodgers has been busy in the tr...
New Signings – Fantasy Premier League 2015/16. Cech, Sinclair, Clyne, Falcao It’s been a while since we last talked, my friends. Too long. I hope you have found the MLS (and our FF247 Fantasy League) to be suitable entertainment during the summer. Or perhaps you fancy cricket and are watching our very own Tekno light up the fantasy cricket world? Or maybe you are doing both. If so, you are l...
Fantasy Football Hot Topics With just three gameweeks remaining there appears to be a feeling of apathy reverberating around the world of fantasy football! We can’t quite put our finger on the reason for this but our old friend the ‘template team’ is perhaps largely to blame! However we’ve all gotten this far and with the finishing line in sight there is no excuse for taking your foot off the peda...
Trends From The Top A look to Gameweek 36 Welcome to this week’s edition of Trends From the Top. This week’s publication is somewhat premature as Arsenal and Hull have yet to play, but after looking at the top 10 and their respective standings, it would be surprising if major upheavals were to ensue. Our leader, Simon March of Atletico Marchid** has remained in the number one position for 12 weeks...
Kops Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 38 11, 24, 49, 8, 33, 2 & 9. What are they I hear you ask? Well they’re my numbers for the EuroMillions draw on Friday night. You’re probably wondering why I’ve shared my numbers with you? Well I’ve got about as much chance of predicting what will happen in GW38 as I do of winning the EuroMillions so I’ve decided to share my numbers with you all! If I can gi...
Kops Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 37 The average score in GW36 was 42, Sergio Aguero beat that on his own with a remarkable 46 points. Fantasy managers fell into three groups last weekend, those who captained Aguero, those who owned Aguero but for some reason didn’t captain him and finally those poor misfortunates who didn’t even own the Argentine. Imagine not owning the Argentine and voting Lab...
Kops Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 35 DGW34 was proving to be a rather disappointing affair with Liverpool delivering very little, but a few goals from Chelsea and Leicester, a Vardy assist, an Ivan assist, a Terry goal and a Fabregas assist may have just rescued it for a few! Many will now say that loading up on Liverpool players was a bad idea, it wasn’t, it was the right thing to do. It’s just...
Kops Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 26 I say, I don’t like cricket, oh no, I love it! With the cricket World Cup having gotten off to such a superb start last weekend you’d almost be forgiven for getting about FPL altogether and just concentrating on fantasy cricket! But fear not we’re only a few days away from the return of FPL and it’s time to start fine tuning your teams as the first double gam...
