FF247 FPL Site Team News GW23 Last week and this week have been dominated by the return of a certain long, blonde haired man. We decided to fore go Haaland and roll our transfer. Unfortunately, we didn’t give the birthday boy the armband and he spoiled the party. We handed it to Foden and Alvarez didn’t like that grabbing a brace and 3 bonus points for a brilliant 13 points. Still Foden managed a respectable 12 points so it wasn’t a total captaincy fail! In fact, over half of the team returned something with only our backline failing miserably. Saliba got 2 points after conceding yet another late goal, Trent got 1 point off the bench in his return and Estupinan was a massive failure who conceded 3 goals before the half and then being hooked off by De Zerbi. We will be hop...[Read More]

FF247 Site Team 2022/23 Wrap Up Welcome to FF247 Site Team 2022/23 Wrap Up Well, that happened…. We bring you our final Site Team article of the 2022/23 season where we take a look at how it all ended for the overlords. ‘Poorly with a green arrow’ in just four words. We have ended the season with a game week score of 49 – a mere nine points above the average – and an overall final points total of 2,465. This leaves us 297,085 overall in the ranks at season’s end. This is our WORST-ever ranking in the nine years FF247 have been playing as a Site Team. And worst by just over 44 thousand places. Ouch. We will let the image do most of the talking because, well, there’s not much talking to do. We thank Gabriel Jesus (12), then Mohamed Salah (10, C), moving onto Ollie Watkins (9) and lastl...[Read More]

FF247 Site Team & Predicted Line Ups GW38 Welcome to FF247 Site Team & Predicted Line Ups GW38 We went into the penultimate game week of the season with just 5 double-game week players, and whilst we didn’t set the world on fire, we performed admirably. Our double Newcastle defence finally came up trumps with 9pts and 8pts respectively for Tripper and Botman, Salah pitched it with 5pts with the rest of our single-game week contingent (Saka, Jesus and Isak) managing just 4pts between them. Our doubles players largely performed like singles, 12pts for captain Haaland, 5pts off Mahrez, 7 for Mitoma. The star of the show was set to be Luke Shaw, 9pts in his first match but then he limped off in the second and finished up on 10pts. Bugger. When all was said and done we ended on ...[Read More]

FF247 Site Team & Predicted Line Ups Gameweek 37 Welcome to FF247 Site Team & Predicted Line Ups Gameweek 37 Q: What’s worse than Arsenal throwing away any final chance of winning the PL title? A: Having three of their assets in fantasy as they do it. Noone else scored worse than Saka (2), Jesus (2) and Martinelli (1) – compounded by Martinelli now missing the season. Spolier – he’s gone! Spinning a more positive light on things, Kieran Trippier scored (11), Mohamed Salah (12) and Alexander Isak (14, C) brought home the bacon this week. Middle-of-the-road performances from Haaland and Raya (7) apiece, and Luke Shaw (8) took our weekly tally to 72. This was just 7 above the average and in real terms was a very disappointing return given some of the tons we&...[Read More]

FF247 FPL Team GW36 Welcome to FF247 Site Team & Predicted Line Ups GW36 Well… thsat was pretty crap wasn’t it! We shall cut to the chase on how we fared. We scored 38 points, the average was 39. Don’t ask us how but that still translate into a green arrow to push us back up a few thousand to 189,526th. A welcome relief to arrest the slump after three consecutive reds. As for the players Salah (10, goal), Mitoma (5, assist), Martinelli (6, assist) were the bloody highlights and got us over half of all our points. The other 8 all scored 3 or less, or blanked as we call it. We couldn’t even point to a mistake on the bench ass they all bombed too! Our GW35 Result… We have £0.1 in the bank and 2 free transfers to use ahead of GW36. Let’s go see what was decid...[Read More]

FF247 Site Team & Predicted Line Ups Gameweek 35 Welcome to FF247 Site Team & Predicted Line Ups Gameweek 35 Our Gameweek 34 Result We were on a Free Hit for DGW34 and it’s fair to say that we can’t half pick a decent subs bench given the opportunity! Solanke and Lindelof (8 points) are sat staring at us in frustration at us having picked Trippier & March (2), Mitoma (4), Jota (5) and even Grealish (7) ahead of them. The even matched Shaw & Rashford (8). Even our sub keeper Iversen (3), who we picked as a no-brainer cheapie is laughing at our Ederson stroke of genius. It was left to TAA (11) to do the heavy lifting in defence, Salah (18) in the midfield, and of course Haaland (32, C) up top. All this left us 2 shy of a ton on 98, which meant a 33K fall to 19...[Read More]

FF247 Site Team & Predicted Line Ups DGW34 Welcome to FF247 Site Team & Predicted Line Ups DGW34. Heroes and villains Last week we lamented the glut of 2-point returns that made up our score, and this week is no different. 7 of our 11 returned a 2-pointer, and 2 managed just the one. Indeed, in a week where only Tyrone Mings (15pts) and captain Earling Haaland were the only 2 players to actually pick up anything, we were lucky that our red arrow was not a whole lot worse. Our transfer of Kane to Haaland paid off (sort of) 28pts for our captain, but to see Kane pick up 11pts was a difficult pill to swallow, we were not alone, with over 500k managers also parting ways with the Spurs talisman. Ouch. Things could have been so much better. We started Kepa (1pt) benched Raya (9pts) Sta...[Read More]

FF247 Site Team & Predicted Line Ups Gameweek 33 Welcome to FF247 Site Team & Predicted Line Ups Gameweek 33 This week’s article is brought to you in association with the number 2…. Not much required by way of summary this week as most of our team simply scored 2 points! Seven of them in fact, including the keeper, the entire defence and 2 of our forwards. Thankfully our mids carried the load but even then we picked the wrong one as Captain (Salah – 14), with both Saka (13) and Martinelli (9) outscoring him. Oh and Kane got us a straight 6. All this left us on 56 points (-4) and gave us our first red arrow since Gameweek 25. It meant a slight drop back in rank, down 30k to 146,972. Our Gameweek 32 Result We have £0.8mln in the bank and 1 free transfer to use ahe...[Read More]

FF247 Site Team & Predicted Line Ups GW32 Welcome to FF247 Site Team & Predicted Line Ups GW32 Our GW31 Result… This can be a strange game at times. One look at our GW31 team will tell you that two players scored well, those being Captain Haaland (24) and Watkins (16). So that’s 60% of our 66 points accounted for. From two very popularly owned players. And yet we still got a green arrow. Our 6th in a row in fact! On that point we now sit at 115,063rd overall. It is slow progress but it is progress none-the-less, and is in fact yet another highest rank for us this season. As for the rest we got a cleanie from Mings again, an assist from Martinelli, and an unprobable 6 points from Kepa, sans a cleanie and having conceded two goals, which probably tells you everything yo...[Read More]

FF247 Site Team & Predicted Line Ups Gameweek 31 Welcome to FF247 Site Team & Predicted Line Ups Gameweek 31 Who else was going to carry the gameweek? Our captain this past gameweek was the obvious choice – but sometimes obvious is the best, and the best is Erling Braut Haaland (24) Leading from front and centre, he carried along two strikers who also landed for our team – Harry Kane (9) and Ollie Watkins (7) – as we put best foot forward with the strikers brigning in 62.5% of our teams’ overall points. So much as to say that, in fact, only Tyrone Mings (6) (what a signing he has been for us!) and Marcus Rashford (6) brought in more than the ‘appearance money’. A weekly total of 64 points for us then. The average was 54 so again we are the righ...[Read More]

FF247 Site Team & Predicted Line Ups GW30 Welcome to FF247 Site Team & Predicted Line Ups GW30 Silence is golden Our GW29 Result… In DGW29 it was a case of bad transfers but a solid game week nonetheless. Odegaard and Zinchenko to Shaw and Fernandes for a -4 ended up being an 8pt net loss, a 1pt cameo for Saka and a paltry 3 for Ben Mee the only other flies in this week’s ointment. Elsewhere it was points galore! Our decision to captain Rashford paid off handsomely with a 24pt return, and with big scores from Watkins (17pts) Mitoma (14pts) and Trippier with 14pts, not to mention solid scores from every other position we were laughing all the way from 243,423 up to the heady heights of 143,781, thanks to a 139 (-4) score, some 59pts above the 80pt week average! It̵...[Read More]

FF247 Site Team & Predicted Line Ups Double Gameweek 29 Welcome to FF247 Site Team & Predicted Line Ups Double Gameweek 29 Scott McTominay song (to the tune of ‘Awimbawe’ …) ….. IN THE GAMEWEEK, THE DOUBLE GAMEWEEK, THE SCOTSMAN RULES THE WORLD ….. Forgive the author, he is a very proud Scot who is still giddy off the back to back wins for the national team in Euro 2024 qualifying where they took care of Cyprus (3-0) and (with so much ease, 2-0) versus Spain. Arriba! Back to work now though and we prepare for Double Gameweek 29 and a huge one at that. Huge it is! As always, we cast an eye back to the previous week and a milestone has been reached. Your FF247 Team has crashed the top quarter of a million. Moving 62 thousand places to 234,423 overall a...[Read More]
