Fantasy Football 247 Site Team News Gameweek 4 It was our Destiny Reading the above sounds so much better with a Yorkshire accent! What’s sweeter than a new defender (in our team) keeping a clean sheet? An assist and max bonus points that’s what! Yup, that’s our Destiny, what a guy! 12pts for new boy Destiny Udogie means it was another strong game week for us; 65pts was 21pts above the average and see us jump from 767,181 up to 117,056. Tidy. Other than the Spurs man we have to thank Chilwell (6pts) Fernandes (12pts), Saka (8pts), Rashford (7pts), Watkins (the standard 5pts) and our captain Halland (8pts). If only Haaland hadn’t brayed his penalty off the post (he is human after all) we could have had even more points on the board. We’re happy with our lot tho...[Read More]

Fantasy Football 247 Site Team – Gameweek 3 Welcome to Fantasy Football 247 Site Team – Gameweek 3 Can’t be too bad a sign when your captain fails and you still amass a healthy 57 gameweek points. This usually means that one or two other have done the heavy lifting. Step forward and take your applause; Bryan Mbeumo (16), Pervis Estupinan (11) & Martin Odegaard (11). Bravo! Ollie Watkins (5) ‘only’ got an assist – but slow, steady and consistent we know he is – and he can’t play Hibs every game (!) The remainder were 1s, 2s and 3s inlcuding THREE Manchester United players. Two survive but these two have their cards marked. We sit healthily at 767,181 in the overall rankings ahead of Gameweek 3 …. where changes have been made …...[Read More]

Fantasy Football 247 Site Team – Gameweek 2 Welcome to Fantasy Football 247 Site Team – Gameweek 2 First hurdle of 38 cleared. No fallers (injuries), and with the steady, experienced, consistent runners of Johnstone, Shaw, Estupinan, Mbeumo and Watkins jockeying for position, the big favourites – Haaland and Saka – have already broken into their thoroughbred stride. The Site Team opened up 2023/24 season with 75 points and we’re most content with that. Solid base to build upon, being as it is, 11 points above the average for the week. Erling Haaland was the obvious captain and those 26 points look neat on paper, but in reality with his ownership, it means you’re running to stand still so looking deeper into the team we must praise Bukayo Saka (10), Bryan...[Read More]

Fantasy Football 247 Site Team News Gameweek 1 Our 2022/23 Overall Rank and Recent History Now last season did not go entirely how we would have hoped. There were more postponements, double gameweeks and players with well over 11 million playing the game so we will put our rank down to those issues. Unfortunately we ended up with a rank of 297,085 which is our worst rank in the nine seasons this team has been running. For that reason the big bosses have decided to bring me (MattX) in as they obviously need some help! Or more likely a scapegoat for whenever things go wrong. Initial set up To start things off we did a very basic add on the most obvious players of Haaland, Trent, Saka. Sprinkle in some more Arsenal in the forms of Jesus and Gabriel, toss in the template 6.5s M&Ms (Mitoma...[Read More]

(Quite Possibly) The Ten Worst Premier League Signings As is the case every January transfer window, it seems that some clubs were bigger winners than others last month. But only time will tell if these new signings prove value for money. Have you ever signed a new player for your fantasy football team only to find that they can’t find the onion bag for love nor money? We’ve all done it. Interestingly, new data has revealed which Premier League signings have been the worst flops based on how much they cost compared to the number of goals, assists, and Man of the Match awards they have bagged for their new clubs. Because these are attacking stats, we’ve saved the blushes of awful goalkeepers and schoolboy defenders. Also, we’ve left out unlucky footballers that completed a move only to get ...[Read More]

Fantasy Football Inside The Mind Of An FPL Player Gameweek 22 Once more we delve into the personal lives FPL minds of our wonderful team of writers… And probably more so than ever this week as the issue of mental health and FPL was raised in the press due to a recent study. You can read one of the press articles about it from The Guardian here or if you want the full study that is available here. There’s no agenda here, it just came up on the writing team’s chat and it was suggested that perhaps we should touch on it somehow this week. As such we have asked that if anyone would like to do so in their answers below then they have free reign.
