Fantasy Football Tips

Kops Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 38 11, 24, 49, 8, 33, 2 & 9. What are they I hear you ask? Well they’re my numbers for the EuroMillions draw on Friday night. You’re probably wondering why I’ve shared my numbers with you? Well I’ve got about as much chance of predicting what will happen in GW38 as I do of winning the EuroMillions so I’ve decided to share my numbers with you all! If I can give you one piece of advice ahead of the final day of the season it is that you should try and ship out any players who definitely will not play on the final day of the season. A number of managers will most certainly take the opportunity to play one or two of their fringe players, so it is extremely important that you have a strong bench as it will be needed. As it’s the final gameweek of the seas...[Read More]

Kops Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 37 The average score in GW36 was 42, Sergio Aguero beat that on his own with a remarkable 46 points. Fantasy managers fell into three groups last weekend, those who captained Aguero, those who owned Aguero but for some reason didn’t captain him and finally those poor misfortunates who didn’t even own the Argentine. Imagine not owning the Argentine and voting Labour? That would’ve made for a fun weekend!! And so we move onto our penultimate gameweek of the season and unfortunately it’s another of those annoying doubles. Three Gunners would appear to be a must while how many Sunderland players you go with is likely to depend on your levels of desperation. When deciding who to purchase this week it’s worth bearing in mind that GW38 is likely to be a lottery...[Read More]

Kops Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 35 DGW34 was proving to be a rather disappointing affair with Liverpool delivering very little, but a few goals from Chelsea and Leicester, a Vardy assist, an Ivan assist, a Terry goal and a Fabregas assist may have just rescued it for a few! Many will now say that loading up on Liverpool players was a bad idea, it wasn’t, it was the right thing to do. It’s just unfortunate that Liverpool didn’t live up to expectations, again. But enough about DGW34, that’s behind us and there’s no use crying over spilt milk. With only four gameweeks remaining one would hope that things would at long last become somewhat easier, but unfortunately that’s unlikely to be the case. One look at the league would suggest that there’s at least 10 teams with nothing left to play ...[Read More]

Kops Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 32 So DGW31 turned out to be somewhat more interesting than most of us expected. On paper it looked like a DGW to be avoided, unfortunately those who chose to ignore Charlie Austin and Christian Benteke suffered the consequences. The moral of the story is that DGW’s are there to be chased!! This is obviously a slight exaggeration but it does go to show you how that in fantasy football you’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t. With just seven GW’s remaining the opportunities to make up ground are diminishing rapidly and this will lead to some of us having to gamble Vegas style. Therefore, with this in mind we have decided to focus solely on differentials this week. Obviously those of you who are having a successful season might look at some of thes...[Read More]

Kops Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 31 The cricket is over, so it’s time to once more concentrate on FPL! With only eight gameweeks remaining we really are nearing squeaky bum time. Some will enjoy this time as they sit atop of their leagues laughing at those below them, while for the rest of us we will spend this time trying everything to catch those above us. The good news is that there will be no further breaks due to the FA Cup or international fixtures. With double gameweeks scheduled for GW’s 31, 34 and 37 as well as a blank for a number of teams in GW33, it is going to be of the upmost importance to plan every move you make over the coming weeks. This however will hopefully spice things up a little and force managers to think a little outside the box in the search for the ultimate d...[Read More]

Grab, Avoid or Bore Off! A bore off special edition you say? Yeah, we think we can manage that. So we went ahead and rounded up our 3 pistoleros and asked them to answer 5 important questions that are bugging many a manager. With so much time to tinker, we thought it important to address some of the concerns we have heard in our chat community. No! Not the monkey pictures, as we have grown quite fond of them to be honest. But DGW concerns for the upcoming week and a future one. Also addressing what to do with 2 South American stars and last but not least, maybe a tip or two on how to crawl back into your mini league race. So although we have named it the usual grab, avoid or bore off, it is really just a façade for a lot of waffling with a hint of relevant information.

GKW’s Views on Who’s Gonna Win the FPL These international breaks are getting on my nerves. Is it just me, or are they becoming more frequent – a cunning ploy to acclimatise us slowly but surely to the winter break demanded for the 2022 World Cup, maybe? On the upside, um, where was I going with this one? Well, I suppose the break does at least give us plenty of time to take stock of the FPL standings and see what insights we can glean from them. The managers Here we go, then: an in-depth look at the FPL top 10 as of GW30. Let me introduce Simon, Stuart G, Jeff, Dave, Jack M, Setor, AbuBakar, Jack W, Cecilia and Stuart W. First up, a look at their demographics. Judging from their names nine of the ten are blokes, at a guess. Well yeah I know there’s that “girl...[Read More]

Kops Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 30 With GW29 being a horror show for many, we now have just nine GWs remaining until the season ends. Last week’s scores proved that template teams don’t always work out well, with the likes of Eden Hazard, Sergio Aguero, David Silva, Alexis Sanchez and Harry Kane all blanking. So this week, in the absence of a resident Top Tipster, we’ll take a look at some differential names who may just prove worthwhile of a gamble with so few matches left before we welcome the summer sun. Of course, we’re not suggesting you should sell your top stars, but merely making you aware of some alternatives if you feel the need to unshackle the chains and go for broke in the final few gameweeks.

Kops Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 29 So GW29 is upon and as will be said numerous times at Cheltenham this week, we’re now moving into the home straight. In the last two gameweeks we’ve had our first blank gameweek and first double gameweek of the season, and if truth be told they were both pretty drab affairs…let’s hope that it’s not a sign of things to come. With just 10 gameweeks remaining it’s time for some to consolidate their positions while for the rest of us we must explore all avenues as we try to close those points gaps which continue to grow. Whichever of these groups you fall into is likely to determine whether you play it safe for the remaining weeks or whether you decide to roll the dice! With May 24th getting nearer & nearer any mistake you make now is likely to cost ...[Read More]

Grab, Avoid or Bore Off! What happens when we have too many days between fixtures? That’s right we come out with another instalment of grab, avoid or bore off! As anyone who has read it before knows, we do try and offer some valuable insight, but with a twist. While trying to give you some sensible opinions on transfers and other matters we certainly have some fun with it. This will be no different as we look at what players you should be looking to buy, hold or sell and also offering an opinion on Pelle’s granny goalkeeping skills. Yeah, you read that right. Well no more waffling from me as you will certainly get enough from our 3 ‘pros’ who never seem to follow the instructions below. So let the rambling commence… [clear]Grab – You need this player on your s...[Read More]

Fantasy Football Tips – a DGW Special A double game week is a beautiful thing, like an oasis in the desert when you’ve been chugging along the past few GWs having a tough time. Planning ahead is, of course, vital, although with just QPR and Spurs involved in this DGW, the usual level of pre-analysis and scribbling down various transfer permutations to maximise the DGW coverage may not be as necessary. QPR of course are struggling just above the relegation zone and with their second highest scoring player injured and their captain suspended, there are very few realistic options to choose from. Well, just one major one really. And you know who he is!! Spurs meanwhile are a completely different kettle of fish with many different options available and it won’t surprise you to learn that ...[Read More]

Kops Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 27 There’s a blank gameweek for Chelsea, Spurs, QPR & Leicester this week! If this is first you’ve heard of this you must be living under a rock. Chances are the vast majority of fantasy managers will be seriously effected as the likes of Ivanovic, Fabregas, Hazard, Costa, Eriksen & Kane all have ownership rates in excess of 25%. The question is, should you decide to bench three of these can you rely on your remaining players to all start for their respective clubs? I suspect many of us will end up fielding nine or 10 players this weekend. Of course you might decide to take a hit in order to field 11, but we believe a strong case can be made for playing with nine or ten this weekend. Enough of that waffle, we’re not here to talk about who’s not...[Read More]
