Fantasy Football Tips

The Tips article, which will be released on Thursdays, is where we take a look at which players should be considered for your team, both on a short-term and longer-term basis. While the more obvious football tips selections will, naturally, be included, we will also endeavour to find those hidden bargains and differentials that could set you apart from your rivals and help your performance in your mini-leagues.

Although fans of Scotland, Wales, Ireland & Northern Ireland will surely have enjoyed the games, while English fans caught up on some much needed sleep!

Grab, Avoid or Bore Off!

Grab, Avoid or Bore Off! To help you decide or just confuse you a bit more, we have asked 3 of our writers to pass judgment on what players you would do well to pick up and what players are better left out of the fray. We hope this is a simple straight forward formula that can assist you in your decision making as we ride out this International Break. I avoided including players like Siggy, Di Maria or Costa as there is really no point. There seems to be overwhelming consensus on these cats. Grab – You need this player on your squad. On the Def/Keeper categories if they select Grab, they will give us a name or two from said team. Eg. Grab De-Gea Avoid – It’s a trap don’t get suckered in. Bore off – If you have him play him, if you don’t have him don’t bother getting him. Really not w...[Read More]

Kops Fantasy Football Tips Game-week 7

Kops Fantasy Football Tips Game-week 7 – Differentials The last two game-weeks have proved rather frustrating for the vast majority of fantasy managers with the average score in each of these weeks being a paltry 36 & 38, although if you managed to pick up a couple of decent scores in these game-weeks you are likely to have made significant advances up the overall rankings as well as in your mini-leagues. Low scoring game-weeks have a tendency to leave some fantasy managers with itchy fingers as they chase those highly addictive points and with big hitters such as Ramsey & Rooney set to miss a number of games the transfer activity is set to go through the roof this week. So whether you are faced with the problems caused by Messrs Ramsey & Rooney or you just need to fre...[Read More]

Kops Fantasy Football Tips Game-week 6 – Differentials

Kops Fantasy Football Tips Game-week 6 – Differentials We probably say this every season, but it really does feel as though it’s taking a long time for things to settle down in this season’s FPL. Take a look at the defences and you’ll see that Southampton, Villa & Burnley have all kept three clean sheets but in all honesty you’re unlikely to have fielded Villa & Burnley defenders in all of the games in which they kept clean sheets. The midfield has proved a little more straightforward but picking forwards has proved a nightmare with Diego Costa the only big hitter to consistently deliver. All this combined is making it difficult for fantasy managers to build a side they are happy with for more than a week! And we’re going to complicate things for you even further as this week...[Read More]

Kops Fantasy Football Tips Game-week 5

Kops Fantasy Football Tips Game-week 5 With the Champions League having kicked off it means we are now into the season of rotation and it started last weekend with many fantasy managers suffering a kick in the teeth as Brendan Rodgers chose to rest Raheem Sterling ahead of the visit of the mighty Ludogorets on Tuesday night. What this goes to prove is that that fantasy football is a squad game and that over the coming weeks and months those cheap bench players we all own are likely to become more important. Slowly but surely we are starting to see patterns develop which should in theory make our decisions much easier to make, but let’s be honest, sometimes the more information the more difficult it is to make a decision! So just to make things ‘easier’ for you we have below outlined a numb...[Read More]

Kops Fantasy Football Tips Game-week 4

Kops Fantasy Football Tips Game-week 4 These international breaks become more and more tedious, particularly as they are now spread out over four nights…good one Michel! Not only are these breaks tedious, but they can also prove detrimental to an FPL squad and at the time of writing, leading FPL players such as Ramsey, Hazard, Costa & Sturridge are all yellow flagged although only time will tell if these injuries are real or fictitious. In recent years this international break has become a popular time to make use of ones wildcard and with all the players who moved on transfer deadline day there will be significant changes to many FPL squads ahead of GW4. So whether you are currently on a wildcard or you are just trying to deal with these annoying ‘international’ injuries we have belo...[Read More]

FPL Transfer Window New Player Analysis part 2 [three_fourth padding=”0 20px 0 0″] #485727877 / gettyimages.com [/three_fourth]With the transfer window slamming shut earlier this week we took an initial look at a few choice signing’s in part 1 and we continue do so here with a further run down on how we feel each new signing will fare from both a real life and also from an FPL perspective. Crystal Palace, Hull and Southampton have all brought in some interesting prospects, Spurs have replaced Sandro, champions elect Swansea have bought a centre-back while Burnley opted for the ‘White-Pele’. Lets take a whistle stop tour of some of the more interesting transfers that occurred in the window.

FPL Transfer Window New Player Analysis part 1

FPL Transfer Window New Player Analysis part 1 [three_fourth padding=”0 20px 0 0″] #137550311 / gettyimages.com [/three_fourth]It’s fair to say that Premier League clubs have been quick to spend their new slice of the vastly increased TV money. In this transfer window they managed to shell out a record £835m between them with no less than six clubs breaking their own transfer records. Manchester United lead the way with an outlay of £149m and were joined in the £100m club by Liverpool on £117m with Chelsea and Arsenal not far behind on £91m and £82m respectively. Over the next two articles we aim to provide you with a whistle stop tour of the major deals that were done in the last few days of the transfer window and hopefully give you an overview of who we feel may be of ...[Read More]

FPL Player Profiles Angel Di Maria, Mario Balotelli and Radamel Falcao

FPL Player Profiles – Angel Di Maria, Mario Balotelli and Radamel Falcao – Fantasy Premier League tips 2014/15 #454288796 / gettyimages.com With the transfer window slamming shut last night, we thought it prudent to take a look at some of the incoming names that you may want to consider for your FPL teams. This season has already seen a steady influx of talent come into the league and we have covered many of these in pre-season so will now take a look at some of those who joined late on in the window. We begin with three huge names in the world of football, one of whom we already have amusing experience of in Mario Balotelli and as for the other two – most of us possibly thought we would never see either in the Premier League, Angel Di Maria and Falcao. The first two actu...[Read More]

Kops Fantasy Football Tips Game-week 3

Kops Fantasy Football Tips Game-week 3 Only two game-weeks into the new season and a number of things are becoming apparent. United’s preseason form which led to many managers having two if not three United players in their squad was possibly a false dawn and managers are now rethinking this strategy. Chelsea & City already appear head & shoulders above the rest and it will be a brave manager who does not have ample coverage from both sides. Before the season started many suggested that this could be the season of 3-5-2 and while it’s far too early to confirm if this is the case, a number of high profile midfielders have started well making it a distinct possibility. Anyway, that’s enough waffle, let’s get down to business…below we have outlined (aka waffled!!) a number of players ...[Read More]
