Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 31 Welcome to Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 31. Into the business end of the season we go and this round is very much the famine before the feast, with what is widely thought to be two double gameweeks on the horizon – 32 and, most likely, 35 – with the shortened Gameweek 33 stuck in the middle, presenting great opportunities for the chips you have left. Various predictions are currently flying around for rescheduled fixtures, however we won’t know for certain until after next weekend, once the FA Cup quarter final ties have been played. It does, however, look like similar teams will miss out on playing both this week and then again two weeks later, so this article will focus on the players that are good for both, as things currently stand. Many FPL managers...[Read More]

Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 30 Welcome to Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 30. First off, a quotation: “As for giving tips on how to navigate your chips and transfers to accommodate the blank, I’ll defer that to the writers later this week” Guy Sanchez, FF247, 4th March 2019 Way to try to shift the blame Guy – I loved your article, but my heart sank when I read that! Anyway, so, if you’re looking for answers on chip strategy I’LL DEFER THAT TO THE WRITERS NEXT WEEK. Of course, you could have a look at Mito’s chip strategy for some ideas. You can find that here: here So then, Gameweek 30 is now upon us and it’s the last ‘proper’ FPL week before we enter the beginning of silly season with our first BGW (or Blank Gameweek) which will take place in Gameweek 31. After BGW31 it will be followed...[Read More]

Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 27 Welcome to Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 27. We really are getting into the business end of the season as we decide how best to utilise our remaining chips in an attempt to deal with the blanks & doubles. For the purposes of this article I’m not going to attempt to put forward a chip strategy, I’m sure someone much smarter than I will do so at some stage. In fact, Mito already has an excellent chip strategy outlined in Hot Topics. I will make reference to the blanks & doubles, and because of the blanks & doubles some of the players tipped below may or may not fit into your plans. For obvious reasons players from City, Chelsea, Everton & Brighton will not feature this week. Although a quick look at the transfers in for this game-weeks would...[Read More]

Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 26 Welcome to Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 26. Everton v Man City brought GW25 to a close, and what a game-week it was. Some were heralding it as season-defining, and for some, this may indeed be the case with 50+ point swings creating shifts in ranks in Mini Leagues around the globe. In the weekend fixtures, it was strike one to those who had kept Hazard (I sold him for Sane 10 minutes before the deadline!) and/or captained (or TC) Aguero (I moved my (C) off Aguero when I did the aforementioned move). Those of us that handed Sane the armband (and again some with the Triple) could only look on with envious eyes and thoughts of ‘what if’. Speculation then moved to who would start in the first Double Game-week fixture of the season, those with Sane, crossing ...[Read More]

Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 24 Welcome to Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 24. Back to FPL action we go, after events over the past week have meant this article has been rewritten about three times, as my research has also used an unhealthy amount of highlighter pen! Before the first matches of Gameweek 24 even kick off, there has been the small matter of the League Cup, FA Cup and South Korea’s progress in the Asian Cup. I’m sure you know who I mean when I talk about the latter! There’s also the big news coming out on Sunday that, for Everton and Man City, there will be a double gameweek (DGW) in Gameweek 25 and a blank (BGW) in Gameweek 27. Going into DGW and BGW territory, you start to see changes in ranks between those who are unaware of these and us seasoned players who make up Excel...[Read More]

5 Golden Fantasy Premier League Tips Manchester City easily won the previous year’s Premier League trophy, but it is certainly not looking that easy for Pep Guardiola’s side this year. In fact, if they would have lost the Etihad match against Liverpool, then it would have been almost impossible for City to win the title. However, Manchester City is still in the title race because they won 2-1 against Liverpool. While Klopp’s side is currently facing a lot of injuries at the back. It is already turning out to be a very exciting Premier League season. For the league title, there is a tough competition between City and Liverpool while Tottenham Hotspur is also being considered as part of that competition. For the top four spots, Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea are try...[Read More]

Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 23 Welcome to Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 23. My first article of 2019 and we are two weeks into it in game-week terms. How has it been for you? Well it started kind of same old same old for me with a Game-week rank of about 3.5 million (I took a hit) and then last week, Game-week 22, I had a rank of sub-80k (I didn’t hit). So don’t hit. There, that covers that. As you will perhaps remember from my last moan (sorry, article) I’m not having a particularly nice time this season, but the green shoots of recovery are there as I grasped the nettle and got Pogba and Rashford in immediately after they played Huddersfield (who have just announced their manager has left – who says this FPL writing game isn’t a 24-hour business?) and they are doing good stuff for me...[Read More]

Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 22 Welcome to Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 22 Happy New Year and all that jazz. I’m sure you’re all in a positive frame of mind and are all set to achieve your FPL targets this season. But as Jonny Logan once sang, I’ve been waiting such a long time, looking out for you But you’re not here What’s another year? I’ve been waking such a long time, reaching out for you But you’re not near What’s another year? Sorry. I had planned to keep things positive!! Ignore me, of course you won’ have to wait another year to achieve your FPL targets. I’ve decided to go back to basics this week and compile a straightforward Tips article. My last two articles have taken a different approach and as a site we haven’t had a Tips article since...[Read More]

Fantasy Football Trends From The Top GW21 Analysis Welcome to Trends From The Top – What Are The Leaders Doing? After a small hiatus, I welcome you to this week’s edition of Trends From the Top. In previous weeks, the trends showed that the popular picks were indeed the wise ones. This week however, saw a bit of division amongst the top ten as well as a fascinating occurrence while selecting team captains. Read on to learn more… Who was the most captained player by the top ten for Gameweek 21? This week, for the first time in many, many gameweeks (I really mean seasons), an interesting phenomenon occurred in which there were 5 different captain picks among our leaders. This is indeed incredibly odd for those fighting for the top spot as they usually tend to go with the safe and...[Read More]

Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 18 Twas the game-week before Christmas when all through the site not a member was stirring no meltdowns tonight Our captains selected chosen with care in hopes that green arrows soon would be there Our players were nestled all safe in their beds while visions of clean-sheets danced in our heads Could this be the week a big score for my cap? I lay myself down for a quick winter’s nap When over on Twitter there arose such a clatter I jumped on the boards to see what was the matter Some bloke from the paper says Aguero is back he’s been wrong before this might be all cack I could bring him in and hope that he scores but he may not be playing and it’s for minus four When what to my wandering eyes should appear it’s time for the site team so raise up a cheer...[Read More]

Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 17 Welcome to Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 17. Well, again it is time for GP Tips but in all honesty, you’ve caught me at a bad moment. For you see FPL and I are at yet another impasse, sleeping in separate rooms, she’s gone to her mothers in fact and I’m sitting here ignoring her messages knowing that I’m in the right and it was her who acted irrationally. I had done nothing wrong, I was attentive, treated her with respect, did all the leg work again as usual, and what do I get in return, the cold shoulder, surprise mood swings and a general feeling of aggravation and isolation in equal measure. She’ll be back though. She always comes back. And what’s worse, I’ll let her back.* *For the avoidance of doubt and if my wife reads this – this is metaphorical. L...[Read More]

Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 14 Welcome to Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 14. Why do you build me up (build me up) Buttercup, baby Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around And then worst of all (worst of all) you never call, baby When you say you will (say you will) but I love you still I need you (I need you) more than anyone, darlin’ You know that I have from the start So build me up (build me up) Buttercup, don’t break my heart. This song may have been released long before the conception of FPL but its lyrics are tailor made for the emotions an FPL manager goes through. We’ve all been built up only to be let down…in the game-week just past many of us were let down by the likes of Richarlison, Martial and Aguero. And you know what? They’ll all do it again… When ...[Read More]
