(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. ROSCO – TEAM LINK GW21 points: 75 Total Points: 1429 Overall Rank: 778 Rank Change: Red arrow 241 Free transfers: 1 Money In th...[Read More]

Fantasy Football Inside The Mind Of An FPL Player Gameweek 19 We had a whole raft of articles planned this week but given the current climate / situation we decided to sit on our hands a bit, rather understandably. As a result we now have a bumper combo one coming your way later in the week as we will somehow attempt to combine a Christmassy Tips article with the Site Team playing a Wildcard, with Predicted Line-Ups tagged on the end of it. Wish us luck, etc. In the meantime we were going to do a Captains article but trying to stretch the few short words ‘Salah plays Leeds’ into 1000+ was beyond even us. Instead we have decided to fill the gap with one of our newer additions, one which seems to have proved to be very popular since we introduced it a few months back. If you have...[Read More]

Site Team & Predicted Line-ups Gameweek 18 Fantasy 5-a-side Our GW17 Result… Amidst the carnage that was GW17 we managed to field 9 players and came out a bit bruised and battered with just 51 points and with another red arrow through our hearts, as we plummeted 40k in rank to 256,951st. But we still had some decent performances within that via goals from Trent, Salah (c), Jota and Death Rowe and a clean sheet from White. Rudiger, Raphinha and Antonio all got two, whilst Ayling rather unhelpfully came off the bench to add a -1. We have £0.9m in the bank and 2 free transfers to use ahead of GW18. Let’s go see what was decided…. Our GW18 Transfer(s) All things considered we aren’t in that bad a shape this week. That’s if you take out the absence of any fit or available goalkeeper ...[Read More]

FF247 Site Team & Predicted Line-ups Gameweek 17 Hmmmmm…. It really is all or nothing for us at the moment. We’ve now had, since the season started, four green arrows in a row, then three red, four green and now four red again. Based on this we are due four green now. We say, in hope more than expectation… As for this latest one it wasn’t a disaster by any means, we garnered 62 points, a few above the average, but (not) enough to see us slip about 30k down to an overall rank of 215,171st. Just as well our ‘premium’ defenders turned up as they got exactly half of our points between them. Ironically, that included a 6 from White off the bench. You’d have to have read last week’s article to appreciate why that’s ironic though. Captain Salah added 16, Raphinha got us 7 and the rest ...[Read More]

The Five Best Defenders to Have In Your Fantasy Football Team In the world of fantasy football, defenders can prove a valuable asset, depending on their style of play. Some defenders are highly consistent and not only do a stellar job of shielding the keeper, but also like to attack, which allows them to support players upfront and the team to put more pressure on their opponents. More importantly, that type of playing style can bag points for you team. Not sure who to sign up for your own team? The rest of this article aims to make that decision easier for you. Here are the five best defenders to make room for in your fantasy football team and provide an almost virtual guarantee of points in the bag: Trent Alexander-Arnold At £7.5 million, the Liverpool right back costs a pretty penny, bu...[Read More]

Predicted Line-ups and FPL Team News Gameweek 14 We’ve done away with the wordy intro as you should all be au fait with the new layout of this by now. As a quick reminder – There are two versions of this article. The one below has a drop-down version. It’s fairly idiot proof – you simply click on the small arrow to the right of the team name and you get a drop-down list of all the teams. Simply click on the one you want to see and hey presto, etc. This is the published article with the comments section to crack on with. The other one is permanently live and has the ‘nicer’ grid layout. If you want to see that version you can click here. This can also be easily accessed at any time via a myriad of links on our homepage – Header link, Hot Topics link...[Read More]
