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 – 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.

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.

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]

Kops Fantasy Football Tips Game-week 2 So what if anything did we learn from GW1? Not a whole lot really! Chelsea were by far & away the most impressive of the would-be title contenders while David Moyes is apparently a better manager than Louis van Gaal! In the world of fantasy football it really is too early to draw any meaningful conclusions. There has been much talk of taking early hits and even some talk of playing wildcards but our advice to you is not to panic, remember that you picked your original 15 players for a reason and as such you should try to give them time, by all means make your weekly transfer but don’t go mad. However you decide to play it we have below outlined a number of players whom we feel will deliver over the coming weeks.

Kops Fantasy Football Tips Game-week 1 – Fantasy Premier League 2014/15 “I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind”! For most of us it was last May as the FPL grew to a close and for some reason we’re about to do it all over again. Some took the summer off to recharge the batteries while others chose to play fantasy World Cup which helped pass the time but we still longed for the return of the FPL and the good news is that it’s now only a matter of days away. While there is a sense of anticipation in the air, there is also a sense of panic and desperation as fantasy managers the world over struggle to decide on a squad with which they are happy! But fear not, below I have outlined a number of players whom I feel can deliver the points that will get you off to a soli...[Read More]

Kop’s Bargain Basement – Fantasy Premier League tips 2014/15 You cannot be serious? Seriously, £100m? You cannot be serious? Every year it appears to become harder to pick a squad of 15 players for just £100m. I’m not sure how much truth there is in that, but what I am sure about is the fact that you simply cannot fill your team with superstars, you need to pick up a couple of bargains so that you can balance the books. Unfortunately, at this stage of the season it can be somewhat difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff! Below I have outlined a number of potential bargains, some risky some not so risky, it’s now up to you to decide how to best balance your squad. However before we move on I should outline the parameters I set myself, for both goalkeepers and defenders I ...[Read More]

Fantasy Football Tips Game-week 38 – FPL Premier League As Roy Orbison once sang, ‘it’s over, it’s over, it’s over’…ok so it’s not over just yet but you know what we mean! It’s hard to believe that 37 game-weeks have passed since we innocently set out on our seasons FPL journey, a season that has brought both highs & lows with the most recent low being DGW37 but we’ll leave that in the past and instead we’ll try and concentrate on GW38. Aside from City & Liverpool, the remaining teams have nothing to play for which means it is difficult to predict who will start, let alone perform well, however we will endeavour to point you in the right direction! We have decided not to include any goalkeepers in this week’s article as we don’t believe that many of you will consider spending...[Read More]

Tips Game-week 37 The Last Chance Saloon – FPL Fantasy Football Premier League So here we are… our penultimate game-week and just to make things that little more interesting it’s a double. As we have learnt over the course of the season double game-weeks have the ability to bring so much joy to us fantasy managers, but they can quite easily drive us to drink! For many of us it really is the last chance saloon as we try to make up ground, so don’t be afraid to go all in on the double. We’re pretty sure that the majority of your transfers this week will be primarily focused on the double game-week and therefore we have decided to focus solely on players from five of the six teams involved, the 6th being Aston Villa!
