FF247 Site Team News GW23 In our defence, your honour… Welcome to FF247 Site Team GW23 Our Gameweek 22 Result Fair to say our defence pulled us out of a bit of a hole this week, providing 35 out of our 51 points. The ‘superstars’ in front of them did bugger all. In fact, Dorgu with 15 nearly matched their entire 16 on his own. Which would have been great. Only we’d stuffed him 2nd on our bench. Clearly we weren’t exactly expecting a goal, a clean sheet and 3 bonus points from him! Even without him we jumped about 400k this week. Probably would have been double that with him. We have 0.2 in the bank and 2 free transfers to use ahead of GW23. Let’s go see what was decided…. Our G23 Transfer(s) First suggestion up was a simple switch of Man City personnel. Pep seems content to build his lates...[Read More]

FF247 Site Team News GW22 Back in our box Welcome to FF247 Site Team GW22 Just when we thought things were looking up, we once more find ourselves on the wrong side of lady luck. We rolled our transfer and it looked like the smart decision, our 39pts (9 below average) tell a different story. Last week we were the beneficiaries of Thiaw’s 17pts, this week it felt a little moot as he duly delivered us a -1. Ouch. Keane was looking like he was on for another bumper score; an early goal got us all excited the red card that later followed not so much. Still those 5pts look colossal next to his black and white compatriot. Not a lot else to write home about. Dorgu picked up and assist for 5pts, Gabriel a rare clean sheet sans bonus points for 6pts and the same situation for captain Haaland. Our o...[Read More]

FF247 Site Team News GW17-21 Christmas Special Ho ho hell yeah, points!! Welcome to FF247 Site Team GW17 The next few weeks feel like a real chance for us to finally kick-start our season — a festive resurrection, if you will. We’re now lined up to play three chips across the next three gameweeks, and with a sprinkling of Christmas luck, we could head into the holidays looking far more like our former selves. Or at least less like a team that’s been on the naughty list since August. This week, Lady Luck came dressed as Santa and actually delivered, but let’s face it, now more than ever, this game is all about luck. Planning, watching matches, researching stats? Largely pointless. Dave from accounts is top of the league, has declared himself an FPL savant, and delivers a weekly carol dedica...[Read More]

5 Ways To Keep Engaged When There’s No Match On A free weekend always sounds great. No deadlines, no rushed transfers, no constant refreshing for team news. You expect to relax, but when Saturday comes, something feels off. You suddenly have time and no idea what to do with it. For fantasy managers, an empty fixture list can feel strange. We get used to living by kick-off times and alerts, so when the routine disappears, the whole weekend moves at a different pace. Everything feels slower, almost too quiet. But a break like that does not need to be dull. It can be a helpful pause if you treat it that way, a moment to reset, explore something different, and enjoy football without the usual pressure. With that in mind, here are a few simple ideas to help you stay entertained when the schedul...[Read More]

The UK Football Betting Checklist: What to Check Before You Place a Bet Football betting in the UK looks simple at first glance. You pick a match, choose an outcome, place a bet, and wait for the final whistle. That ease is exactly why many bettors skip the checks that actually matter. Bookmakers understand how fans think. They know form tables, rivalries, and media hype push people toward emotional bets. The edge rarely comes from knowing more football. It comes from knowing when a bet is worth taking at all. This checklist is not about finding a guaranteed winner. It is about cutting out bad bets before they cost you money. Think of it like match preparation rather than match prediction. Check The Bookmaker Before You Check The Odds Before looking at prices, look at who is offering them....[Read More]

FF247 Site Team News GW16 5 FT’s to burn Welcome to FF247 Site Team GW16 Our Gameweek 15 Result Not the best week ever, it’s fair to say. Hardly the best season ever either. So at least we are being consistent! It was 47 points, 2 below the average, but we got away with a rank drop of just 170k. But hey, it’s a lot more congested in that 3m odd mark. Small mercies… We have 0.7m in the bank and 5 free transfers to use ahead of GW16. Let’s go see what was decided…. Our G16 Transfer(s) With the luxury of 5 FT’s afforded to us we have changed our plans on the chip strategy a bit. For the record that now looks like; Free Hit GW17, Wildcard GW18 and Bench Boost GW19. Maybe… As for this week we had Sels, Munoz and Mateta all injured so replacing those became th...[Read More]

FF247 Site Team News GW15 Much ado about nothing Welcome to FF247 Site Team GW15 Six of our eleven did absolutely nowt. Thankfully, the other five bothered to show up, and just about saved our dignity. We weren’t deranged enough to go against the robot, and those 28 points carried us. Elsewhere, Muñoz (14pts) — one of the few bright sparks in this season of darkness — did most of the heavy lifting. Saka (6pts) off the bench and Sels (6pts) both played their part, and while Liverpool continue to look bang average at best, Virgil hit DEFCON “Please clap.” Four points is about as good as it gets from him these days. We finished on 69pts — a sexy number for an aggressively unsexy team. A green arrow was secured, and we crawled from 3,704,055 to 3,511,047. It’s hardly been a vintage seaso...[Read More]

FF247 Site Team News GW14 Robotic Malfunction Welcome to FF247 Site Team GW14 Gameweek 13 was a week of Free Hitter vs Triple Captainers. It was a massive win for the FHers so you can probably already guess which side we were on… if you remember last weeks article we decided to play the TC on Haaland. He failed miserably blanking and giving us a return of 6 points. The rest of our team didn’t do much better with 5 of our team getting 1s and 2s. Thankfuly we had Thiago who is keeping up his insane form with another 2 goals to score 13 pts. Mateta got a return as did Saka and Xhaka with scores of 6, 5 and 5 pts. We atleast scored above the average of 35 with our 49 points. It got us a green arrow up to 3.7 million. Our Gameweek 13 Result We have 2.0 in the bank and 1 free transfe...[Read More]

FF247 Site Team News GW13 Fishing for Chips Welcome to FF247 Site Team GW13 Our Gameweek 12 Result Probably fair to say that that was a bit of an odd week all round. And that was almost certainly reflected in our own score, or rather the scorers. Whilst our front 3 of Haaland (C), Woltemade and Mateta, along with the likes of Saka, did bugger all, our points all came from Munoz and Enzo with a goal apiece and Cucurella with a cleanie. Also fair to say that we had a bit of a mare with our bench, which garnered 20 points, our highest of the season so far. Overall we got 52 points, 13 above the average and even that was enough to bump us up a million spots to somewhere around 4.4m. Still shockingly bad but we are aiming to deploy some chips in the coming weeks in order to bounce back a bit, s...[Read More]
