Most picked FPL players 2019/20 Fantasy football league is growing in popularity and it is a form of sports betting that could soon be a serious rival to the likes of horse racing in countries with a passion for sports and gambling. It is also helping to get more people interested in watching football so that they can pick the best players, like these four. Alisson Becker Goalkeeper Alisson Becker of Liverpool has been the ‘keeper chosen most often by fantasy league managers. 30.6 percent of them selected him for their team ahead of the start of the season, based on the record of 21 clean sheets during 2018/19 that saw him win the Golden Glove award. However, this season Alisson suffered an injury in the opening league game versus Norwich and hasn’t played since. It is not a serious injury...[Read More]
Teemu Pukki’s Rise From Celtic Flop to Essential Fantasy Football Pick While the early season form of Manchester City and Liverpool has been as many would have expected, the rest of the Premier League has already thrown up a few surprises in the opening weeks.Few would have predicted that Crystal Palace would beat Manchester United at Old Trafford and sit fourth after four games, while at the time of writing Sheffield United find themselves midtable after snatching a 2-2 draw against Chelsea. However, one of the biggest surprises is probably how a striker once written off after a frustrating time at Celtic has taken the Premier League – and fantasy football – by storm. 📸 Off the mark – Teemu Pukki enjoys his first #PL goal It's Liverpool 4-1 Norwich (71 mins)#LIVNOR pic.t...[Read More]

Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 4 Welcome to Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 4 Due to a quirk in the FF247 fixtures list, I’m back on Tips just two weeks on from my last ramble and a little sooner than expected. Just like last time I follow an excellent performance last week, this time by Sir Swirly, where I’ve just checked – and yep, he’s nailed a couple of players as his tips came home instantly in a few cases – well done that man. We have still only three weeks worth of data under our belts now which is still a relatively small sample size to work from and we have an international break of 14 days after this weekend’s matches. I will assure you however that there will be that one player this week who scores and will instantly become the next fad – the key is to work out the perdurable sta...[Read More]
Liverpool star Roberto Firmino – once discovered on Football Manager In Football Manager you occasionally find a ‘hot prospect’ still unknown to the world that a few years later turns out to be an actual wonder kid in real life. For example, Javier Saviola, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Gylfi Sigurdsson, Ravel Morrison, Simon Davies, and Kylian Mbappe are very different players – but all share something in common. Each was tipped for greatness at a very young age by the video game Football Manager. But did you know that Roberto Firmino was discovered on Football Manager? Firmino joined Liverpool from Hoffenheim in June 2015 for £36.90 million and Hoffenheim’s scout, Lutz Pfannenstiel revealed in 2016 that he discovered the Brazilian through the popular game Football Manager. The Ho...[Read More]

Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek GW3 Welcome to Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek GW3 So, here we are then – the week after the reminder of what FPL can actually be like. The first gameweek brought so many points and this one, well, didn’t. At the time of writing, you’ve done well if you reached the average of 41 and so there are no doubt plenty of Red Arrows flying around – and I don’t meant the famous air display team. Well, now Wolves v Man United has finished, it’s Gameweek 3 to look forward to now and, hopefully, a return to looking back up our mini leagues. It’s time to regain the bragging rights from Colin in accounting who is wearing his special tie in celebration of the fact he had Pukki in his team and is therefore “smashing this fantasy malarkey” in his first season. That may be a lo...[Read More]

Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 2 Welcome to Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 2 This is my first article of the new season and in typical plagiaristic style, I am immediately going to refer you back to the sensational thoroughgoing article written by our very own Kop Warrior ahead of the first gameweek of the season. Find it here: Kops Tips GW1 The reasons for this are straightforward. Firstly, and most importantly, it is far too good a piece of work not to read (or read again). Secondly, it is only been one week since and I’ve only witnessed each team once which is too minute a sample size for me to provide you with a list of ‘new’ names and a whole article’s worth of information. Finally, and quite honestly, almost all of what was written in the first article of the season I agree with. I r...[Read More]
Fantasy managers are scrambling for signings after several players put in dazzling performances during the opening weekend of Premier League action. There are some key injuries to factor in and some big name transfers for managers to consider ahead of Week 2. Here are three intriguing signings you might want to consider: Raheem Sterling The Man City forward banged in a hat-trick to inspire his team to victory over West Ham on the opening weekend. He has scored 35 league goals over the past two seasons and he could enjoy an even more prolific campaign this time around. He has matured significantly over the past 12 months and become a lot more composed in front of goal under Pep Guardiola’s tutelage. The top sportsbooks make Man City the clear favourites to win the Premier League and they ar...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 1 Welcome to Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 1. It has been three months since I’ve had to write an intro, which means it has been three months since I’ve had an opportunity to moan. After three months you’d think I’d have a lot to moan about but it’s been an enjoyable three months. Liverpool won the Champions League. We then had the Cricket World Cup and the Tour de France. Both great sporting events in their own right but made even more enjoyable when you chuck in a fantasy element. Finally, we moved onto The Ashes last week. Who needs football? Seriously. Anyway, that’s enough about the past three months. We’re here to discuss FPL. Nicolas Pepe aside, the top clubs are yet to make any exciting signings so we could yet be left with the tried & trusted FP...[Read More]
