Premier League managerial feuds: Four defining spats
Premier League managerial feuds: Four defining spats The Premier League is a fiercely intense arena, and it is awash with some strong characters. Passion can spill over on the pitch between the players, and even the managers have been embroiled in battles. While off it, there have been more than a few choice words exchanged. We have borne witness to many a hostile moment where some Premier League bosses have failed to keep their emotions in check. So, let’s unlock the vault, and look back at a few feisty, if not arguably comical episodes between some of the main culprits. 1) Arsene Wenger v Jose Mourinho We couldn’t have possibly curated this list without including this famous warring duo. Jose Mourinho invariably lorded it over Arsene Wenger, and when Chelsea came up against Arsenal, the ...[Read More]
FPL Team News and Predicted Line-ups Gameweek 1
FPL Team News and Predicted Line-ups Gameweek 1 If you can’t do something properly don’t bother doing it at all… The above title is a bit of a motto of FF247. And it sort of explains why we used to do this article but then suddenly stopped. The truth of the matter is that it simply became too much work for the team. Following every word of every press conference and then analysing that info and translating it into a line-up… twenty times, was quite frankly a bit too time consuming. The knock on effect was that it also pulled some key personnel away from the site on a Thursday and Friday. So we got into a situation whereby we had RMT’s stacking up and nobody to answer them! Would you rather the likes of Smash, GP and Init be stuck behind a computer waiting to r...[Read More]
Four strikers Tottenham Hotspur could sign to replace Harry Kane
Four strikers Tottenham Hotspur could sign to replace Harry Kane Just when it looked like cold water had been poured on Harry Kane leaving Tottenham Hotspur this summer, there was a massive twist in the tale earlier this week — as the England captain failed to show up for training after being granted an extended holiday due to the Three Lions reaching the final of Euro 2020. With Manchester City now the 28-year-old’s most likely destination, according to the latest football odds, and no real out-and-out backup striker in the squad, Spurs’ recruitment team will be working tirelessly to find a suitable replacement for Kane, which at this point in the transfer window, will not be an easy feat. So, with just over a week to go until the 2021/22 Premier League season gets underway, and Spurs des...[Read More]
Three Premier League Fantasy Options Worth Taking Seriously
Three Premier League Fantasy Options Worth Taking Seriously Every season as we prepare to select our Fantasy Premier League teams, there are often players we glance at but never end up selecting. However, sometimes they might just prove their worth, consistently scoring us a steady stream of priceless points. These are a few that could be worth taking a chance on. Jarrod Bowen Since making the £18 million switch from Hull City to West Ham United in January 2020, Jarrod Bowen’s career has continued its upward trajectory. Tactically and positionally flexible, the 24-year-old can play anywhere across the attacking line. The latest football betting odds price West Ham as 100/1 outsiders to win the Premier League, although they could potentially repeat the top-six finish secured last seas...[Read More]
Top Forwards to Consider for the Opening Weekend of the Premier League 2021/22
Top Forwards to Consider for the Opening Weekend of the Premier League 2021/22 In most seasons past, when looking to select the regular point scoring option for one of the forward positions, either the striker of the reigning champions or Harry Kane would be the initial picks. Coming into the 2021/22 campaign, Manchester City have a distinctly Agüero-sized hole in the team, with there still being question marks around Gabriel Jesus. Then, there’s Harry Kane, who not only might be moving club but will also miss the start of the season, according to Manchester Evening News. On the bright side, this situation does mean that Fantasy Premier League players won’t feel strong-armed into paying 12.5 for one player straight off of the bat. That said, it can leave some wondering which forwards would...[Read More]
Promoted Teams Analysis FPL 2021/22 – Brentford
Promoted Teams Analysis FPL 2021/22 – Brentford Here we go! Another season and another article about a new team. I really like doing these articles to be perfectly honest, I find it helps me get into the fantasy mood and also gives me the chance to learn about new players coming into the league. Brentford are an unknown quantity to many of us, so I thought I’d give you some history and background. Brentford are yet another London side in the Prem which now makes the tally seven London clubs. They were founded in 1889, nicknamed The Bees and have recently relocated to Brentford Community Stadium which they share with rugby union side, London Irish. They have spent decades floating around the third and fourth tiers of English football, so you’d be forgiven if you don’t know them. Howev...[Read More]
FF247 FPL Launch 2021/22
FF247 FPL Launch 2021/22 Are we back then? Sort of… We hope you are all enjoying the Euro’s and will continue to do so for a while longer yet. We haven’t rushed to re-launch FPL on here because we are conscious that the past two (?) seasons have been somewhat strange and hectic and we wanted everybody (the FF247 team & our readers) to have a good long break from it all to recharge those batteries and hopefully build up some enthusiasm for it all again. We are also aware that most people don’t exactly need pointing in the direction of the FPL site by now. The rules all look the same too and due to the Euro’s the transfer market has been a bit slow so there isn’t exactly a great deal to tell you about! As the Euro’s draw to a close though we kno...[Read More]

Chelsea vs Leicester Dream11 Team Prediction
Chelsea vs Leicester Dream11 Team Prediction Chelsea and Leicester City will face off in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge in a simulated play-off for a spot in next season’s UEFA Champions League. The Blues will play a home game in front of supporters for just the second time this season, after their home victory over Leeds in December, with the UK government allowing a limited number of spectators to return after sanctions were relaxed across the UK. Despite being in ninth position prior to Thomas Tuchel’s arrival, Chelsea has enjoyed a fantastic run since his arrival in January, reaching the Champions League final and being on the verge of securing a top-four slot. However, the Blues have suffered a big setback in the last week, losing their Premier League lead after a d...[Read More]
The best young players of the 2020-21 Championship season
The best young players of the 2020-21 Championship season In this strangest of seasons, defined by behind-closed-doors football and coronavirus-related restrictions, it has perhaps been more difficult than usual for young players to really make their mark in the Championship. The role a live crowd plays in spurring on the team and encouraging young players can’t be underestimated, and this season that fan presence has been sorely lacking. However, there are still a number of young players who have excelled in the Championship this term, helping their team’s chances as the English Championship odds updated throughout the season. Let’s take a look at the standout performers. Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford) As the only remaining member of Brentford’s famous ‘BMW’ frontline, which also included Ollie...[Read More]
