Playing at home gives players an advantage over their opponents. This advantage stems from the team...[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]

FF247 Site Team News GW12 Envy is the thief of joy Welcome to FF247 Site Team GW12 Like a kid with a shiny new toy, we strolled into GW11 with Gabriel finally in place. But, as the saying goes, “man plans, God laughs.” And the FPL gods? They are laughing. A majestic one-pointer and now he’s injured (probably). Our -4 is looking something of an error to say the least. Aside from that small emotional trauma, it actually wasn’t a terrible week. For the brigade who tripled up on Arsenal’s defence, it was a gameweek to forget. For those of us who sensibly (accidentally) backed Saka instead, it was our one moment of triumph. Saka’s 12-pointer generously papered over the cracks of what was otherwise a damp squib of a week. We scraped a pair of clean sheets at the back, captain Haaland decided to ...[Read More]

FF247 Site Team News GW11 Baby Steps Welcome to FF247 Site Team GW11. We had a small success this week with a tiny green arrow that sees us now sitting at 5,571,344. Our score of 68 points was just above the 65 weekly average. The best performer was once again Haaland with a 26 point captain return. Munoz and Cucurella got 6 and 7 points respectively. Ndiaye scored a brilliant goal to get 9 points before hoing off injured. Hopeuflly he will be fine for this weekend. Our Gameweek 10 Result We have 0.0 in the bank and 1 free transfer to use ahead of GW11. Let’s go see what was decided…. Our GW11 Transfer(s) We have really been punished week in and week out due to not having any Arsenal cover, particularly no defensive cover. Our priority this week was to fix that and a hit was necessary for ...[Read More]

FF247 Site Team News Gameweek 10 Welcome to FF247 Site Team GW10 It’s fair to say that we had a bit of a ‘mare last week! 33 points. 10 players with 3 points or less. 3 transfers in – all did bugger all. The departed Salah scored though, of course. A 10 million+ GW rank. A 1 million ish overall drop. The one plus was a Spurs defender on 11 points. And then we saw Van de Ven on 23… Couldn’t even pick the right one of those. Our Gameweek 9 Result We have 0.3m in the bank and 1 free transfer to use ahead of GW10. Let’s go see what was decided to try and fix this mess… Our GW10 Transfer(s) A WC was suggested, and is probably now becoming long overdue. But for this week at least though we shall simply go with what we have, with the small change of losing pati...[Read More]
