Win Big with Football Betting Apps – Here’s How Read our guide to finding and using the best apps for betting on football How to Use Football Betting Apps to Win Big It’s official – football is the most popular sport on which to place bets, when we consider the global market. Sports betting is a multi-billion dollar industry, and a large chunk of that is from football alone.

Unlike many other forms of gambling, sports betting holds the potential for the punter to come out on top overall. A word of caution, though. Successful football betting, with consistent wins, requires patience, self-restraint and a thorough knowledge of the sport. These days, football betting a...[Read More]

To remain successful in the Fantasy Premier League, timing is crucial. This mantra is even more important now that the season winds down. With only six game-weeks left it’s clear that it’s time to reconsider other options in terms of teams to target, which players deserve top dollar and when to play your chips. In this article, we’ll discuss a few scouting tips and some actionable advice to help you get past the challenges that FPL week 32 presents. Fantasy Football Scouting Guide For fantasy football managers in a quandary, you'll have answers to one or two questions that may be bugging you. For instance, Liverpool's win last week has been highly discussed in fantasy football, making managers wonder whether the Reds will play differently with the long-awaited EPL title already at ...[Read More]

Could Premier League-bound Joao Palhinha be a Fantasy Football Success Next Season? Many Portuguese stars have graced the Premier League over the last decade and a number of them have proved hugely profitable for FPL managers. The likes of Bernardo Silva, Joao Moutinho and Ruben Neves have all accrued plenty of points in recent years, and one of their fellow countrymen looks destined to play in the English top-flight next season. Joao Palhinha is certainly a player to keep an eye on, and although defensive midfielders aren’t necessarily the most glamorous option when it comes to selecting your fantasy team, the 24-year old’s ball-winning abilities could help managers potentially rack up the clean sheet points throughout 2021. The on-loan Sporting star has proved very effective ...[Read More]

Will Leeds United rollercoaster ride end of a high? It’s been 10 long seasons for Leeds United in the second-tier of English football, but even longer when you look back at the glory days of the Premier League. Their best season in the top flight came in 1999-2000, when the Whites finished third and ultimately, qualified for Champions League football. While this season’s Championship may have taken a short hiatus, due to the coronavirus pandemic, Leeds are often there or there-abouts when it comes to promotion football bets. Just last campaign, the promised land looked likely, and for long periods, they topped the table. Most notably, at the turn of the year, the Whites remained in pole-position for eight games, but a four-point margin at the top does not give enough room for error and two...[Read More]

A new season of FPL action is ahead and as some of you may now have become accustomed to FF247 will run an article detailing all relevant pre-season news focusing specifically on the team line-ups, goal scorers and assisters.

New Fantasy Premier League Transfers 2019/20 – Moise Kean and Nicolas Pepe If my last player analysis article was a cautionary tale then this is more of an upbeat and promising one with talk of potential, proven stats, potential, excitement, potential, missing links, potential, Romelu Lukaku, potential and of course Mario Balotelli. Did we mention potential? Let’s go take a look at two genuinely enticing editions to our FPL landscape… Moise Kean* Everton FPL price: £TBCm (probably £7-8m?) Position: Forward One can only assume that some bright spark at Everton finally googled the words ‘centre forward’. Quite how they’ve managed to stay afloat in the Premier League without one since Lukaku left two seasons ago is anybody’s guess. Quite how they’ve m...[Read More]

New Fantasy Premier League Transfers 2019/20 – Che Adams and Joelinton A tale of two £6m strikers. A tale of red cards, mediocre statistics, wishful thinking, youthful promise, Mike Ashley, Steve Bruce, Mark Hughes (yes!), anti-Moneyball, stating the bleeding obvious, dodgy hamstrings, James Beattie (yes!) and smoke & mirrors. A more positive intro you’d be hard pressed to find… and you’re probably thinking you know where this one is going already. And you’d probably be right to be fair. But don’t judge just yet, let’s go see if we can find some positives amongst what ostensibly appears to be a roasting. Joelinton Newcastle United FPL price: £6.0m It’s not often a beleaguered Newcastle United fan wakes up to a headline of ‘Toon bre...[Read More]
