FF247 Site Team & Predicted Line Ups Gameweek 26 Welcome to FF247 Site Team & Predicted Line Ups Gameweek 26 Bruno – Let’s be Frank Like all brilliant players (overrated he may be by some!), you just have to stick with them and thankfully, we did! Captain Fernandes pushed aside a poor opening show in part one of the double gameweek in the 1-1 draw with Southampton, to score in the 97th minute on Tuesday to secure United’s 2-0 win against Brighton. His goal, the clean sheet and three bonus points (setting aside his yellow card), was the perfect response and meant that we were rewarded with 24 points for our DGW captain. Noice! Overall the average was 47 points and the FF247 boys notched 81, cracked the top 100k and rest comfortably at 75,917. Double noice! Cheers...[Read More]

FF247 Site Team Gameweek 25 Welcome to FF247 Site Team & Predicted Line Ups Gameweek 25 As usual a good week goes hand in glove with a good captain. Step forward Jarrod Bowen (22) as our star performer of the week. He also hit the post as well so it could have been utopia but alas, let’s not get too greedy. Diogo Jota rounded off our gameweek on Thursday with a sweet 16 points as he single-handedly took apart Leciester at Anfield. The supporting cast of Son (7), and the defensive trio of Cancelo (7), Alexander-Arnold (6) and Aaron (of the ‘Arse) Ramsdale (9) took us to a weekly score of 76, some 26 points above the average and left us as very happy bunnies. We climb again, to 111,831 in the overall rankings. Our Gameweek 24 Result… We have £1.4mln in the bank and 2 f...[Read More]

FF247 Site Team Gameweek 24 Welcome to FF247 Site Team Gameweek 24 If you can remember that far back – Emmanuel Dennis was the captain of our team for Gameweek 23 – and he got sent off! OK so the -2 for the captain wasn’t too uncommon but it’s hardly a brag. When Watford finally rounded the weekend out on Saturday with their 0-0 at Burnley, our two Watford strikers scored net 1 point! Josh King got 3 and Dennis dragged him back (how is that even possible!?) We thank Aaron Ramsdale and Diogo Dalot (NO REALLY) for their 8 and 9 repectively. Diogo Jota (5) got an assist and the rest was bleak. Let’s consign the longest – and dreariest – FPL Gameweek in history to the bin and focus on Gameweek 24 and its Tuesday evening deadline. A green arrow was the ...[Read More]

Site FPL Team Gameweek 23 Welcome to the FF247 Site Team Gameweek 23 Our Gameweek 22 Result… It was a bit galling to log in and find that at least two of our committee had scored a ton on their own FPL teams this week and that the majority of the others were at least in the 70’s. We barely scraped above the average (51) with a pretty sad looking 58. Why the sudden disparity? It was simply a case of having the wrong Portugueser. One of them suddenly seems determined to pull Man United out of their slump, the other seems determined to sulk his way through it. Unfortunately we had our money (and armband) tied up in the latter and so couldn’t make a move for the former. As for the rest of the team Trent Alexander-Arnold (10) and Joao Cancelo (11) did what they usually do, Jarrod Bowen (7...[Read More]

FF247 Site FPL Team GW22 Welcome to FF247 Site FPL Team GW22 Our G21 Result… Can you score 77, be 31 points above the average, get a 20k green arrow and still have a grumble about it? Damn right we can…. You see, 50 of those points came from our West Ham duo with 42 alone from Jarrod Bowen. Talk about papering over the cracks! As for the rest, Trent, Jota and Son all got an assist. And that my friends was that, as they say. Oh and we had to use two subs who came in for a grand total of 4. Leaving Ben Davies and his 6 on the bench. He could conceivably have played and scored more than 8 of our other players. Well ok 7 as he probably couldn’t have played in goal (more’s the pity!). All that left us in 120,542nd place. We have £0.3 in the bank and 1 free transfer to use ahead of G...[Read More]

FF247 FPL Team Gameweek 16 Meh! 45 points for the week and just the two above the average. Meh! Red arrow and a slight drop in the rankings to 183,041 overall. Meh! Captain Salah with just one assist – 12 points – not blanking but not ripping it up. Meh! Nine points from Trent and a couple of 5s from Raphinha and Antonio. Meh! Two blanks leaving the pitch and 3 points coming on from autosub ….. you know where this is going! The screengrab is below but it makes for dismal viewing – imagine beige in an FPL format. Our Gameweek 15 Result… We have £0.9m in the bank and 1 free transfer to use ahead of Gameweek 16. Let’s go see what was decided…. Our Gameweek 16 Transfer(s) We realise that Ivan Toney is missing due to Covid and its isolating/testing technicalities a...[Read More]

Site FPL Team GW15 Welcome to Site FPL Team GW15 It’s always frustrating when you’re 0.1 short of your favoured transfer. Worse still, to have to watch said player (Jota) get on the score-sheet and the fallback option (Lukaku) fail to make the starting 11, and then do nothing in the minutes (21) that he did get. Our GW14 score makes for grim reading. Only 3 of our 11 returned; Salah (obviously) Raphinha (fortuitously) and Smith-Rowe (controversially). A paltry 12 points from our other 8 made a bad game-week one to forget – fast. Lucky for us (yay) we’re straight back into it. 57 points total, 1 below the average and a big juicy red arrow that sees us drop to 162k. Not the end of the world. Our GW14 Result… We have £1.8m ITB and 1 FT as we quickly jump to GW15. What did we decid...[Read More]

Site FPL Team GW14 Welcome to the FF247 Site FPL Team GW14 Lacklustre We’d love to rant about all those who let us down this week but in all honesty it’s easier to simply tell you who didn’t. Trent and Toney didn’t, that’s who, and unfortunately that’s all. Even they didn’t break double digits, but a paltry 9 apiece still trounced the rest. Kane couldn’t even be bothered to play because it snowed or something and so White came in, ironically, and his 6 was the next best, which sort of says it all really. Lacklustre. We ended up on 50 points, just 12 above the average, which meant a small red arrow and a new overall rank of 116,759. Our GW13 Result… We have £1.1m in the bank and one free transfer to use ahead of the midweek GW14. Let’s go see what was decided…. Our GW14 Transfer(s) If...[Read More]

FPL Team Gameweek 13 Welcome to FPL Team Gameweek 13 A case (again) for the defence! You know when your goalkeeper follows up a penalty save the previous week with an assist this, that you are on a bit of a run eh? Ben Foster (5) has been an unexpected little gem of late and he doesn’t even need clean sheets! Ahead of him, well the golden triumvirate of – in ascending numerical order to build both suspense and grandeur – Joao Cancelo (12), Antonio Rudiger (14) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (15) continue to lead the way, showing up those big fancy expensive attackers (Salah, apart obviously) how it is done. Our only slight regret is that we don’t have four or five of them back there! Don’t be greedy Don’t be greedy Don’t be greedy… The aforementi...[Read More]

FPL Team Gameweek 12 Welcome to FPL Team Gameweek 12 It is easy to lose track, during the yawning international break, just how well you may have done in the previous week. A very healthy 31 POINTS above the weekly average was an extremely pleasant surprise for the FF247 bigwigs when we reconvened last night. We had some very well-performing players who combined to help us reach 73 points for the week which took us to 128,011 overall. We are back on track and very pleased. We start off by mentioning the strikers last week. Right, that’s that done. That’s all we really can say about 5 points combined from messrs Antonio, Toney and Vardy. Chuck in the other 2-pointers in Rudiger and Benrahma and that’s the rot out of the way! We are very proud owners of Raphinha (9), Emile ...[Read More]
