FF247 Site Team News GW9 Welcome to FF247 Site Team GW9 Gameweek 8 was a painful one for many, and we very much include ourselves among them. Konsa grabbed a goal, clean sheet and 2 bonus, while Haaland also found the net and picked up 2 bonus – giving us 16pts with the armband. Other than that, it was a real sh!tstorm. Le Fée was our next highest scorer with 3pts, leaving our remaining eight players to muster just 6pts between them. We’ve had better weeks. It’s not often a Gameweek is quite this bad across the board. We had three players finish on 1pt, which on reflection looks like a perfectly respectable score compared to the two who managed absolutely nothing (Cherki and Groß). Not to be outdone, Palmer went one better, getting himself sent off and leaving his owners with -...[Read More]

FF247 Site Team News GW8 Welcome to FF247 Site Team GW8 After a disappointing GW6, we’re pleased to report that GW7 was a much better week for the FF247 Site Team! We finished on a very respectable 78 points, comfortably beating the weekly average of 59 by 19 points. That gave us a GW rank of 859,796 and hopefully signals a return to form after a few frustrating weeks. Unsurprisingly, the main man was Erling Haaland, who delivered a fantastic 26 points as captain. Calvert-Lewin also chipped in with a very welcome 9 points, while our defence certainly did its job. Konsa returned 9 points, with Calafiori and Kadioglu both contributing 6 points apiece. Verbruggen also added another 6 points between the sticks. Elsewhere, Groß contributed 5 points, while Saka and Rogers were relatively q...[Read More]

FF247 Site Team News GW7 Welcome to FF247 Site Team GW7 We felt like we were half way there to a decent enough score in GW6 with a star performance from our keeper, decent hauls from our Arsenal backline, including a goal, a GroB assist and then goals from Rogers, Haaland and Jaoa Pedro at the double. But despite all that we still only came in at 67 points and only 9 above the average. And that meant a small-ish red arrow and a 50k odd drop down to 743k. Our Gameweek 6 Result We have 0.3m in the bank and 3 free transfers to use ahead of GW7. Let’s go see what was decided…. Our GW7 Transfer(s) We could easily have pressed save on this as the team looked OK, but we were in a bullish mood and so have decided to be pro-active. With Man Utd floundering a touch and Liverpool not looking much bet...[Read More]

FF247 Site Team News GW6 Welcome to FF247 Site Team News GW6 I feel we’ve turned point dodging into an art form. We finished on 42 points against an average of 48, and one look at the team makes it fairly easy to work out where things went wrong. Pascal Groß (14pts) was once again the saviour for many, and unlike GW2 we actually started him this time. A 12pt return from captain Haaland meant that 26 of our 42pts came from just two players. The other nine managed just 16pts between them: Two. Two. One. One. Two. Two. Two. Two. Two. Quite impressive really. Not a single return between them, with our entire defence combining for a magnificent six points. Konsa and Calafiori even threw in a couple of one-pointers for good measure. Of course, there were points in our squad. Plenty of them. They...[Read More]

FF247 Site Team News GW5 Bench Pain Welcome to FF247 Site Team GW5 After the misery of the previous week, Gameweek 4 finally decided to be nice to us. 93 points. A full 24 points above the Gameweek average of 69, and a Gameweek rank of 595,963. We’ll take that. Very happily. The big decision was handing the armband to João Pedro, and for once our captain actually behaved like a captain. His 12 points became 24, immediately giving the week a very healthy foundation. And unlike some previous weeks, he actually had some help! Groß was the star of the supporting cast with a massive 17 points, while Calvert-Lewin chipped in with 10 and Rogers added another 8. Kinsky contributed 7, while Kadıoğlu and Calafiori both returned 6, meaning there were points appearing all over the pitch rather than us...[Read More]

FF247 Site Team News GW4 Welcome to FF247 Site Team GW4 GW3 – Triple Captain. Red Arrow. Obviously. Despite playing our Triple Captain, we somehow still ended the week staring at a red arrow. To be fair, Haaland did his part. 9 points wasn’t quite the monster haul we’d dreamed of when deploying the chip, but it’s also not the dreaded blank that can so easily accompany a Single Gameweek Triple Captain. Tripled to 27, we’ll take it. The problem was, quite literally, everyone else. Not a single return from the other ten players. Szoboszlai and Cherki scraped together a clean-sheet point apiece, Verbruggen chipped in with a save point, and that was about as exciting as it got. Our defence proudly served up a trio of two-pointers, while three yellow cards gave us the considerably less impressiv...[Read More]

FF247 Site Team News GW3 Boom! Welcome to FF247 Site Team GW3 A lazy Boom! As it turns out. When questioned why he’d made no changes in terms of transfers, line-up or captain, last weeks writer who wishes to remain anonymous (let’s call him Rosco…), admitted he was just being lazy. Let’s also just call him humble then, for fairness. Given Haaland’s Friday endeavours, the Bruno (C) was carrying a certain weight of pressure. We all know the rest. 111 was comfortably 30 above the average, and pumped us up 1.7m places to about 525k overall. Or 5% as it is now reported, up from 25%. And that was with 19 points left on the bench. After using the BB last week to the tune of just 10. Our Gameweek 2 Result We have 0.0m in the bank and 2 free transfers to use ahead of GW3. Let’s go see what was deci...[Read More]

FF247 Site Team News GW2 Welcome to FF247 Site Team GW2 It wasn’t exactly a Bench Boost for the ages, but when only three quarters of said bench actually turned up, we were up against it from the start. Our captain blanked, but then so did pretty much everyone else’s, so we’ll call that a draw. Five returns from ten outfield players and, looking at some of the carnage elsewhere, we count ourselves fortunate. João Pedro’s 11 points did most of the heavy lifting, with Calafiori’s 9 and Szoboszlai’s 8 doing their bit to drag us towards respectability. Meanwhile, our supposedly boosted bench contributed a magnificent 10 points between four players — six of those from the goalkeeper and one of them not even making it onto the pitch. Money well spent. All in all, not the worst start, but certain...[Read More]

From Virtual Pitch to Real Odds: How Football Gaming Ratings Mirror Live Betting Trends Every autumn, football gaming enthusiasts debate player ratings with the same intensity as a controversial VAR decision. Whether arguing over a winger’s acceleration stat or questioning a midfielder’s passing attributes, these digital metrics carry genuine weight. Modern virtual football titles like EA Sports FC and eFootball no longer treat player attributes as static numbers for arcade matches. Instead, they deliver a highly responsive snapshot of real-world form, squad depth, and tactical momentum. As game developers refine their databases using real-time optical tracking and performance analytics, the line between gaming data and professional football analysis continues to blur. Performance analysts...[Read More]

The Psychology of Injury: How Elite Managers Cope with Star Player Absences and Build Depth Every fantasy football manager has lived this nightmare: your captain, the £11m differential that justified your entire transfer strategy, limps off the pitch in week six with a hamstring injury. Suddenly, your carefully calibrated squad becomes a house of cards. The weeks ahead blur into triage—salvaging what you can, pivoting to unlikely heroes, and watching your rank plummet as managers with depth rosters soar past you. But here’s what separates the managers who recover from this chaos and those who spiral: it’s not luck. It’s how they’ve mentally prepared for the inevitable loss, often discussed and refined through community platforms like onjabet where managers share str...[Read More]

Ferrari shares fresh details of its electric Luce Ferrari has shared new details about the Luce, its first fully electric production car, at the Wave conference in Turin on October 7. Chairman John Elkann and designer Jony Ive discussed how the model took shape and why its cabin favours switches over touchscreen menus. Ferrari also attracts Formula 1 fans who track racing results and in-play odds on the 1xbet website during Grand Prix weekends. In Turin, the focus was the five-seat road car Ferrari unveiled in May. A suggestion from Jeff Bezos in 2016 Elkann traced the idea of an electric Ferrari to a walk with Amazon founder Jeff Bezos in July 2016. Bezos encouraged him to consider what electrification could mean for a company renowned for combustion engines. Elkanne later began discussin...[Read More]

5 High Volatility Crypto Slots to Play in 2026 Most players who’ve browsed crypto casinos know the feeling: you spin a low-volatility slot for an hour, watch your balance tick down in tiny increments, and wonder why you bothered. High-volatility crypto slots in 2026 work differently. They pay rarely, but when they do, the numbers are worth waiting for. The five platforms below each have a solid high-variance game library alongside fast crypto withdrawals, which is what actually matters. What makes a slot actually volatile Slot volatility describes how payouts get distributed across spins. Low-volatility games spread frequent small wins throughout a session; high-volatility games concentrate the bulk of their payout into rare but substantially bigger hits. Neither type pays out more t...[Read More]
