FPL Tips Gameweek 12
FPL Tips Gameweek 12 Welcome to FPL Tips Gameweek 12 Now we’re into the festive season – it’s official now, the Christmas tree and various other decorations have been put up, though the cat is doing his best to pull them down – the fixtures start to come thick and fast. So, I’m already dishing out advice as soon as the first paragraph: there will be rotation, bear that in mind with both your start...
FPL Tips Gameweek 5
FPL Tips Gameweek 5 Welcome to FPL Tips Gameweek 5 We’re at a time when there is much uncertainty, elements of the community feel cynical of what the point of it all is, league tables show startling differences and there are results being thrown about which confuse most people – and that’s just fantasy football and the Premier League! Unlike the pandemic, however, we’re glad to see the return of d...
Fantasy Football Fixture Analysis Gameweek 1
Fantasy Football Fixture Analysis Gameweek 1 No pressure! Here I am with the first of the ‘traditional’ articles run at FF247, at a time where there is still great upheaval from the ‘C’ word – by ‘C’ word, I, of course, mean Covid-19 and not the politician who first comes to your mind! However, at least we have the benefit of the return to three substitutions, along with a more normal-looking – al...
Fantasy Football Fixture Analysis Gameweek 30
Fantasy Football Fixture Analysis Gameweek 30 No amount of hand sanitiser, reassurance from any scientists or, particularly, loads of loo roll can bring you back from the panic. No, not a certain virus, I mean when Mane brings in the points and you don’t have him in your team – but those around you in your respective leagues do. Or when Chelsea tear Everton apart and there isn’t a single blu...
Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 23
Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 23 Welcome to Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 23 BANG! Where did that come from? That was FPL to a tee last week, as Sergio Aguero scored a hat trick and assist against an embarrassment of an Aston Villa team in the 6-1 win – Villa fan here, hello, yeah it feels great – registering 20 points in the process. That followed zero minutes against Everton, a goal against Sh...
Fantasy Football Fixture Analysis Gameweek 9
Fantasy Football Fixture Analysis Gameweek 9 As we fast approach the middle of yet another international break, the transfers have slowed down, thoughts are wondering elsewhere with the Rugby World Cup and international friendlies and it’s fair to say fantasy football has taken a back seat. The hacking of FPL accounts even seems to have been put on hold. Step forward DCI Coleen Rooney and Rebekah ...
Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek GW3
Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek GW3 Welcome to Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek GW3 So, here we are then – the week after the reminder of what FPL can actually be like. The first gameweek brought so many points and this one, well, didn’t. At the time of writing, you’ve done well if you reached the average of 41 and so there are no doubt plenty of Red Arrows flying around – and I don’t meant the famou...
Fantasy Football Fixture Analysis Gameweek 2
Fantasy Football Fixture Analysis Gameweek 2 Welcome to Fantasy Football Fixture Analysis Gameweek 2 With a new season comes new challenges, new head to heads, new faces, new prospects. And VAR. In the case of the latter, that has already shaped a couple of matches, making the outcomes less predictable. Will it be an improvement or will it be another idea that gets consigned to the scrap heap? I’m...
Promoted Teams Analysis: Aston Villa
Welcome to Promoted Teams Analysis: Aston Villa. There aren’t many things you can be sure on in this world – especially at the moment when you look at politics – but one of the few things you can rely on is that the one and only Aston Villa fan in the FF247 crew just had to write the appraisal on the club’s chances this season, as they achieved promotion the hard way. From watching the gradual dec...
Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 37
Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 37 Welcome to Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 37. “Oh what a night, late April back in twenty-nineteen”. Sure it doesn’t quite go to the Four Seasons’ song, but that’s how I’ll fondly remember Liverpool’s performance against Huddersfield. No, it’s not because I’m a supporter of the Reds, but because, like many other managers, it happened to be when I selected a certai...
Fantasy Football Fixture Analysis Gameweek 36
Fantasy Football Fixture Analysis Gameweek 36 Welcome to Fantasy Football 247 Fixtures Gameweek 36. Back to a sense of normality we go, with all 20 teams playing (just) once and this article is the last one that will contain all three fixtures for each team before the season is finished. No pressure, then, especially when you look back to the fantastic articles that were written by AT, Pele and Gu...
Fantasy Football Fixture Analysis Gameweek 34
Fantasy Football Fixture Analysis Gameweek 34 Welcome to Fantasy Football 247 Fixtures Gameweek 34. Firstly, I’ll pose the question: Did you have Hazard or Vardy in your team in Gameweek 32? Well done, if so – and massive congratulations if you had both and captained one of them! It’s very much the theme looking ahead as we look to match the promising players with double fixtures, ensuring others ...
