It takes a matter of seconds, and the best part is, it will cost you absolutely nothing! This week the matches have been plucked from both the Premier League and Championship, with our predictions listed below. Good luck! Bournemouth v Stoke Bournemouth are on cloud nine after conjuring up a stunning 3-0 win at Chelsea. Who saw that one coming? Eddie Howe’s men are now unbeaten in six matches since Christmas, and they’ll be expected to edge past Stoke on home soil. The Potters are so far unbeaten under boss Paul Lambert (W1 D1), but we’re back...[Read More]
The Man City Dilemma
The Man City Dilemma We all know we have to own them, but it can be infuriating as heck. Do you want to pay top money for KDB and then watch his less expensive mates outscore him? Do you want Sterling and Sane and then have to deal with them being benched while KDB starts? Jesus is the guy up top, until Kun is, until both are, until Jesus is again, until Kun is again… and so on and so on. Perhaps we should avoid them and not have to worry about all that rotation? Yeah, that’s not going to work, because five of the City boys we are fixing to talk about are in the top 15 in FPL points and the one missing out, Jesus, is only 4 points from also being in that illustrious club. Perhaps if we dive into some of their stats and minutes played we will get a clearer picture or perhaps we ...[Read More]
FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team Gameweek 7
FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team Gameweek 7 Welcome to the FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team Gameweek 7. I’ve got another confession to make, I’m your fool… Hi. My name is Adam (init). And I seem to be addicted to screwing up the Site Team! I seem to have a monumental issue with pressing CONFIRM when it comes to the site team! “Oooops” was how I introduced this weeks thorny issue… Fortunately the guys know by now what that may mean. And yes they are all guys, not folk… *Sighs It happened again. It happens a lot. I have no idea why. I seem to have a blind spot when it comes to the site team and I know not why. To quote Kop – “You’re so meticulous with everything else” To quote Cookie – “We’re like a Carry On ...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Team Gameweek 1
Welcome to FF247 Fantasy Football Team Gameweek 1. We may not be, or indeed ever have been, the best team out there, but we are almost certainly the best debated one. At least we’d hope so anyway, and if anyone is debating a team more than we do then we send you and your family our condolences! This is not thrown together at the last minute. It’s debated to the Nth degree. It’s debated to the degree of friendships being stretched to the point of breaking. If it works then great, if it doesn’t then fine, but don’t ever say we didn’t try! We’ve had some moderate ‘success’ thus far, finishing 5k, 84k and 12k in the last three seasons. As we say, not the best, not the worst. Our panel is made up of five FPL ‘veterans’, all of wh...[Read More]
New FPL Transfers Chelsea Alvaro Morata, Antonio Rudiger and Tiemoue Bakayoko
New FPL Transfers Chelsea Alvaro Morata Antonio Rudiger and Tiemoue Bakayoko Hello and welcome to New FPL Transfers Chelsea Alvaro Morata, Antonio Rudiger and Tiemoue Bakayoko. Chelsea won the league with relative ease last season, a feat they achieved with a core of no more than 13/14 players. However it’s worth remembering that Chelsea had no European football to contend with, this season they will have the small matter of the Champions League to deal with while also trying to defend their title. Antonio Conte will be quite aware of this and Chelsea have already splashed something in the region of £130m on three players, Alvaro Morata, Antonio Rudiger and Tiemoue Bakayoko. Remember when £130m was a lot of money? Now it wouldn’t even buy you Neymar. Chelsea fans will could expect mo...[Read More]
New FPL Transfers Liverpool Mohamed Salah and Andrew Robertson
New FPL Transfers Liverpool Mohamed Salah and Andrew Robertson Hello and welcome to New FPL Transfers Liverpool Mohamed Salah and Andrew Robertson. Liverpool started last season in electric form and in some circles they were being spoken about as potential league champions. A lack of depth within their squad and possibly a lack of a plan B eventually saw them fall away and ultimately they did well to finish 4th. Last season they had no European football to contend with meaning they were free to concentrate on the league. This season they will have European football to deal with although it remains to be seen what night of the week they will play. One thing is for sure and that is that Liverpool need to add both depth and quality to their squad. They continue to be linked with Virgil van Dy...[Read More]
New FPL Transfers Jay Rodriguez, Jon Walters and Harry Maguire
New FPL Transfers Jay Rodriguez, Jon Walters and Harry Maguire Hello and welcome to New FPL Transfers Jay Rodriguez, Jon Walters and Harry Maguire. To date all our articles regarding new signings have been specific to individual teams. Unfortunately not all teams are going to make enough sexy signings to warrant an article of their own and thus we are forced to lump a number of teams in together. Forced is probably the wrong word but you get our drift. Today we bring you signings from West Brom, Burnley & Leciester, I can almost sense your excitement from here. Cookie won’t thank me for telling you this but he has high hopes for J Rod, I’m not quite as enthusiastic over Jon Walters and Harry Maguire. Let’s see what you guys think.. Jay Rodriguez Club: West Brom Position: Forward FPL P...[Read More]
New FPL Transfers Arsenal Sead Kolasinac and Alexandre Lacazette
New FPL Transfers Arsenal Sead Kolasinac and Alexandre Lacazette Hello and welcome to New FPL Transfers Arsenal Sead Kolasinac and Alexandre Lacazette. Welcome back to a brand-new season of Fantasy Premier League! The Transfer Window has been in full swing since the 1st of July with plenty new faces coming into the league giving us fantasy managers more options to pull our hair out over. In the coming weeks, we will see multiple drafts, probably all from Mitro, containing different combinations of some of these new faces so to make it easier for him and everyone else; below I have written up an analysis of some of those faces. With so much money flooding into the English League in the recent years we are seeing some ridiculous transfers and transfer fees up and down the divisions (Ruben Ne...[Read More]
Value for money and points for free…
Value for money and points for free… “Play air guitar with MTV That ain’t workin’, that’s the way to do it, Points for nothing & chics for free. I want my, I want my, I want my FPL.” No, I can’t do anything about partners for free, we ‘re talking someone who can’t score in a house of ill repute the night after winning the lottery here. But through many Sunday mornings of a sore head from trying to work out how 3 pints and a poppadom with the lads cost me £70 I am now well equipped to advise on spending a bare minimum, even if it does severely limit your social life; but hey this is FPL not Love Island. The way fpl bumps up the price of every player who remembered to tie his laces before going on the pitch means our wonderful polishe...[Read More]
New FPL Transfers Bournemouth Nathan Ake and Jermain Defoe
New FPL Transfers Bournemouth Nathan Ake and Jermain Defoe Hello and welcome to New FPL Transfers Bournemouth Nathan Ake and Jermain Defoe. Cookie gets United’s latest additions, of course Init takes Everton and Matt has cherry picked Arsenal & City. And what about Kop I hear you ask? Well due to Liverpool’s insistence on writing apology letters rather than acquiring new players I’ve chosen Bournemouth! Why? I’m wondering that myself and should I come up with a worthwhile answer I’ll be sure to let you know. Enough about me, what about Bournemouth. This will be their 3rd straight season in the top flight finishing 16th in 2015/16 and 9th last season. They’ll certainly hope to continue on such a trajectory. To date they’ve added three players to...[Read More]
New FPL Transfers Manchester City Bernardo Silva, Ederson and Kyle Walker
New FPL Transfers Manchester City Bernardo Silva, Ederson and Kyle Walker Hello and welcome to New FPL Transfers Manchester City Bernardo Silva and Ederson. Continuing with our series of player previews and we arrive at Manchester City. I’m sure we can all agree that City were something of a disappointment last season eventually finishing 3rd. Now finishing 3rd might be considered an achievement for many clubs but not a club who had installed Pep Guardiola as manager and had invested in the likes of Nolito, Gundogan, Jesus, Sane and John ‘I can’t defend’ Stones. 3rd place will not be accepted this season and with this in mind Pep has once again been busy splashing the cash. It’s no surprise to see a new keeper arrive but I’m not sure they needed another midfielder! Let’s take a closer look...[Read More]
New FPL Transfers Everton Jordan Pickford and Michael Keane
New FPL Transfers Everton Jordan Pickford and Michael Keane Hello and welcome to New FPL Transfers Everton Jordan Pickford and Michael Keane. Having covered Everton’s attacking transfers in the previous article we now make our way back to the defence and look at new keeper Jordan Pickford and central defender Michael Keane. Both are young (Pickfrd is 23, Keane 24) and Koeman will hope that both will serve the club for seasons to come – well, at least until the manager has hopped off to Barcelona anyway. It’s the trendy thing to say, but I make no apologies for repeating myself – ignore Everton until GW6 (unless you fancy a GW1 punt home to Burnley) – GW2-GW6 fixtures read Man City (a), Chelsea (a), Spurs (h), Man Utd (a). It’s ugly folks, but it changes ...[Read More]
