Barry and Paul’s Predictions – The Final Reckoning
Welcome to Barry and Paul’s Predictions – The Final Reckoning. GW38 brought the season to a close in typical GW38 style. The final game-week of the Premier League often throws ups some unusual final scorelines and this season was no different; a 9 goal thriller in Spurs last home game at Wembley, City scoring a solitary goal in their win at St Mary’s, and of course my beloved Newcastle putting 3 past Chelsea without reply – Happy days!
What started as an informal and innocent comment on another random article, asking you what you thought the game-weeks scores would be that week, has turned into something of an FF247 staple article now! Careful what you say around here folks, it can often rob you of hours of your life! That it then took on a life of it’s own is thanks to the continued engagement and enthusiasm from you lovely lot – so a massive thank you from both myself and my fellow Chuckle Barry (Matt) for making this happen.
We would also like to announce that Barry and Paul are going global, which is a more exciting way of saying that we’ll be running a competition throughout this year’s World Cup finals.
Some of you will be taking a well deserved break from all things ‘Fantasy’ this summer, but if you fancy trying your hand at predicting results throughout this years World Cup then this is the place to come. We’ll be posting up more details before you can say ‘England are going home’ or ‘England fans clashed with local police in Russia’.
Before then we still have two weeks of results to reveal, and of course this season’s overall winner, so without further ado, lets see who did what, and how!
In GW37 it was Mr.Bean who took top spot; 13pts were just enough to see off second placed Neelbasus and DenPerryDidit, who both finished on 12pts. A whole host of teams were just behind them on 11pts in third, I’d tell you who they were, but Barry (Matt) didn’t tell me, so if you’re really interested then shout out and I’m sure he’ll let you know!
Weekly Leader board (GW37)
Winner = Mr.Bean 13pts
2nd = Neelbasus and DenPerryDidit 12pts
3rd = Lots of people 11pts
In the final game-week, 12pts were enough to make Sam10 the winner, closely followed by yours truly with 11pts. Third place was a tie; Constantine and Albox both picking up a solid 10pts.
Weekly Leader board (GW38)
Winner = Sam10 12pts
2nd = Rosco 11pts
3rd = Constantine and Albox 10pts
Congrats Mr.Bean and Sam10, please email us at contact@fantasyfootball247.co.uk to get your hands on that FF247 t-shirt.
OVERALL WINNERS(S)
So who won the 2017/18 Barry and Pauls Predictions overall league title I here you cry! Did Init do enough to hold on to top spot despite predicting a 0-11 score for Man City in GW38?
Well in short no.
It was apparent from the get-go that when it comes to this predicting lark, two of you are seemingly a cut-above the rest. Coys and DenPerryDidit have been making this look easy from day one, and in the end, it’s perhaps fitting that they both finished the season with an epic total of 221pts. Perhaps the pressure got too much for our illustrious leader? There have been rumours that perhaps in the name of good sportsmanship, he simply became a little ‘overly generous’ in his predictions (Southampton v Man City 0 -11 anyone?), we’ll never know. Init finished the season just 2pts behind our leaders; 219pts wasn’t enough to for Init to win it (I know, I know) but it was a bloody good effort all the same.
Congratulations Coys and DenPerryDidit. Perhaps it would have been better if Init had won, because now he needs to provide not one but two suitable prizes for your achievements, over to you boss! Email the site please both.
The Final Table
Thanks for reading Barry and Paul’s Predictions – The Final Reckoning
This article was written by Barry and Paul… aka Matt and Rosco.
Can’t say I’m surprised…

Paul Lambert leaves Stoke – or Stoke leaves Paul Lambert, as you wish…..
Darren Moore gets the West Brom job. Great appointment at last from a club!
Hear hear . .
I’m just pleased the job didn’t go to Moyes, Allardyce, Lambert etc etc.
I’m stunned. They actually made the correct decision!
Awfully quiet on here tonight, people enjoying their first Friday night free of FPL for 38 weeks or more likely all in mourning at the Carvalhal news?! 🙁 It’s all Mark Hughes’ fault, the horrible b@stard
Watch out! GoalMachine is a fantasy football fanatic. He plays every game under the sun.Convinced me to go back to fantasy UCL after I left it two years ago. Even managed to lure me to play the new FPL Draft.
Sorry, it doubled the comment. It just crashed on me before it went the second time.
That happened to me this morning Ivan so we are aware of it, apologies. We have started a fair bit of maintenance behind the scenes now that it’s quiet so we’ve probably caused it. Evidently it posts the original comment regardless so just shut the tab and reopen a new one.
What it doesn’t do though is make you post it in the wrong place in the first place
By the way, how do I use emojis?
Should be explained below. That needs updating a bit too and it’s on my list for the summer. It’s a WordPress site though so others you know of should work, that’s just a selection really.

@initt and @Mito
Thanks guys.
Nothing is Mark Hughes’ fault!
EVERYTHING is Mark Hughes’ fault
If in doubt blame Sam Allardyce!
Watching the CSKA-REAL MADRID Final 4 game (basketball ) !!
Will be right with you 😉
Did Bale start there?
Hah ))
Evening
How are we?
Here he is! Good mate, yourself? Recovered emotionally yet after winning by 1 point?! I’m just about putting myself back together and mine was 10 in the end!
How do Init, I’m good mate, been a hectic week with work trying to tie up lose ends before I leave in a few weeks time.
This season was a bit strange to be honest pal, I was buzzing I retained my main ML but because my OR was so poor it didn’t feel like a victory!
I can’t wait til next season starts and I can get back to where I believe I belong!
Are you doing a World Cup Fantasy team?
Hey buddy! Well done on that win! I missed it all with being away! Are you going to get involved in the WC fantasy? (I’m not sure they allow hits!! :wink
My ‘not working Emoji’ hell!
Cheers rosco, can you take a hit in the World Cup fantasy? #askingforafriend
Oh they’re working alright, it’s you that isn’t! Since when’s :wink
been a code?! 😉 #Roscoshavingamare
That hashtag works on a few different levels actually, depending on how you read it
You mean they don’t separate out the brackets? Man you need a new IT dept ! 😉 😉 😉
You can’t be leaving again surely?! I can’t help but think this inherent unrest is somehow mirrored in FPL with your hits
It could well be, start my new job on the 2nd! Looking forward to getting back to HS2!
*2nd July
Yeah, aren’t we all!
😉
I am starting to believe Rosco is away and Matt is using his log-in.
It’s been a long week! And leave my bro Matt alone!
hey Rosco
you did even get it right here “My ‘not working Emoji’ hell! ”
😉
well messed that up “didnt” ……
I think we’re all still fatigued Dreamers!
I am not, I took the last 3 months of the FPL season off, so I could be ready for the off-season.
Watched Coventry v Notts County for some reason.
Was much better than expected. Notts County got screwed.
Or desperate
