Kops Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 15 How much fun is this?! Games coming thick and fast, players picking up injuries & suspensions, while some clubs have the audacity not to hold a press conference to let us know that player X is injured. I’ll leave it to you to figure out the club and player in question! Back to my question, its great fun, isn’t it? It makes things more exciting and keeps us all on our toes. And the fun isn’t over yet, no sooner has GW14 finished than we have to start planning for GW15 and for those of you that haven’t enjoyed the ride…just wait until Christmas. Enough of this waffle…Chins, how am I doing on the word count?! There are now six game-weeks remaining before we all have the dreaded January wildcard available and therefore we will do our best ...[Read More]

Life After Southampton – Fantasy Premier League 2014/15 [three_fourth padding=”0 20px 0 0″] #185923482 / gettyimages.com [/three_fourth]We start this week with a tip ‘o the cap to Mito (give him a follow: @TheLegendMito21) for picking up the slack last week when the regular bloke was gallivanting about in Green Bay, Wisconsin, in absurdly cold weather to watch, of all things, an American football game. Thanks mate, job well done. And with that business out of the way, we now return to our regularly scheduled programme… It has been a fun ride but we all knew this day would come. After a dream start to the season Southampton’s run of good fixtures had to end eventually, and we have reached that point. With tricky matchups in seven of their next nine fixtures, it may be time...[Read More]

Kops Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 13 So here we are at GW13, it will be lucky for some and unlucky for others. GW12 proved rather unlucky for many as the likes of Baines, Chadli and Downing, all of whom have relatively high ownership levels, were all forced to miss their respective games through injury, meaning some fantasy managers really did need to utilise their bench to extract every last point from a rather lifeless game-week. This once more just goes to prove how important our benches are, particularly with the games set to come at us thick and fast over the coming four or five weeks. This is likely to lead to players missing out with niggles while managers choose to rotate in an attempt to keep their players fresh. This week we haven’t just gone with the obvious choices, we have i...[Read More]

Fantasy Football Fix – FPL Statistics Ever wondered how you compare to the rest of the Fantasy Premier League?

Kops Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 12 With all the international fixtures over and done with for 2014 we can now sit back, relax and enjoy an unbroken run of FPL fixtures until the 3rd round of the FA Cup in January. This international break could eventually prove to have been quite disastrous from an FPL point of view as at the time of writing Leighton Baines, Angel Di Maria, Dusan Tadic and Danny Welbeck are all yellow flagged due to injuries picked up on international duty, while Cesc Fabregas is also on a yellow flag. Obviously now is a time to remain calm and keep a cool head, although this is easier said than done while all around you panic. However as a result of this panic I suspect many managers will be taking a points hit this weekend but if you can refrain from such panic and h...[Read More]

Kops Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 11 I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, it’s easier being a Premier League manager as opposed to an FPL manager! Take Liverpool as an example, on Tuesday night against the reigning European champions Real Madrid, Brendan Rodgers decided to rest a number of key players ahead of the weekend’s visit of Chelsea, what a luxury to have!! While up the road in Manchester, everything is A ok despite having won just three games as they are a team in transition. At over £150m it’s a bleedin’ expensive transition! So while the likes of Brendan & Louis have it easy us fantasy managers are faced with weekly decisions which could make or break our season. One advantage that you guys have over the Premier League managers is FF247 and once more we have put our ...[Read More]

Kops Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 10 GW9 was one which a significant proportion of fantasy managers will want to forget in a hurry. The average score was a paltry 38 and when the likes of Green, Skrtel, Eto’o and Austin are amongst the game-weeks highest scorers you know it’s been one of those weeks! The problem with such a game-week is if a player from one of the bigger team scores well while those around him flounder it makes his score appear even better and that was the case in GW9 with Alexis Sanchez, resulting in over 100k transferring the Chilean into their teams at the time of writing. Now we’re certainly not suggesting that Sanchez should be ignored, in fact he’s included in our tips again this week, rather we’re suggesting that some managers are possibly making knee-jerk decisio...[Read More]

Fantasy Football Fix – Price Changes So, just how accurate are the fantasyfootballfix.com Player Price Changes? Since we launched Fantasy Football Fix over six weeks ago, we have had a phenomenal response from the Fantasy Premier League community, both on the overall concept of our site and the range of features we provide powered by a mathematical algorithm, however we seem to be getting asked one question more and more…. ‘just how accurate are your player price changes?’.

Kops Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 9 GW8 was a somewhat strange game-week, as despite a significant number of players scoring double figures the average score was just 49 points which would suggest that the majority of the players who scored well do not feature in a significant proportion of fantasy teams. There has been quite a lot of talk surrounding template teams of late and the need to break away from such teams. If you are doing well in your mini leagues and you are happy with your overall ranking you may not need to worry about moving away from the template, after all the template teams are typically comprised of players that are scoring well. However, if you are trailing in your mini leagues or are simply not happy with your overall ranking the chances are that you will need to tr...[Read More]

Fantasy Football Fix – FF247 Blog Welcome to fantasyfootballfix.com, we are a new site created for players of the Fantasy Premier League (FPL), to offer mathematical solutions to everyday problems you face as a Fantasy Manager! [clear] Fantasyfootballfix.com was created after two creative FPL Managers, one a Nuclear Physicist (nerd), and one a Business Consultant (not so clever), decided to answer the age old question: Can a mathematical algorithm beat a human at Fantasy Premier League?.

Kops Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 8 So another enthralling international break has come to a conclusion. Although fans of Scotland, Wales, Ireland & Northern Ireland will surely have enjoyed the games, while English fans caught up on some much needed sleep! Before we move on from international football I should just point out that there is another international break to look forward to following GW11. Anyway, enough about international football, the good news is that fantasy football is back, although if you’re one of the unfortunate managers who are struggling you may not be overly enthused at the idea of yet another poor game-week. So whether you’re currently on a wildcard or simply agonising over how best to utilise your free transfer, don’t worry we’re here to help and below we ...[Read More]

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]
