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!

Grab, Avoid or Bore-off! – FPL Fantasy Football Premier League To help you decide or just confuse you a bit more, we have asked 3 of our writers to pass judgment on what players are needed for this double game-week 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 near the dead line. 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 worth the extra effort.

Fantasy Football Tips Game-week 36 – FPL Premier League It only seems like yesterday when we were all frantically struggling to decide on the make-up of our team for the opening game-week of the season, fast forward 35 game-weeks and here we are struggling to decide on our teams for the final 3 game-weeks of the season! You’d think that it would be rather easy at this stage of the season but injuries to key players have spiced things up a bit and to be honest this has made things a little more interesting. By now everyone is well aware of who the key players are for the remaining game-weeks so this week we have decided to focus on a number of differentials who we feel could help set you apart from your rivals.

Tips Game-week 35 – FPL Fantasy Football Premier League As we suspected, DGW34 wasn’t the point’s bonanza that DGW31 was and in truth it left the majority of fantasy mangers rather frustrated. If we had told you last week that Jason Puncheon would be the game-weeks highest scoring midfielder and that Conor Wickham would be the highest scoring forward you would still be laughing at us now, but it just goes to prove that when it comes to fantasy football you should always expect the unexpected. Not only did the some of the big hitters fail, some of them of them have also picked up injuries, with the likes of Toure, Silva & Sturridge all flagged, who said that fantasy managers have an easy life! But enough moaning, there are still four massive game-weeks remaining and below we discu...[Read More]

We all remember the last double game-week as the fantasy points rained down amongst us, it was like everywhere you turned there were fantasy points, to be honest it was nearly too easy!! So is this double game-week likely to bring as much joy to as many fantasy managers and the simple answer to that is no it’s not. Why? Well because we only have four teams involved this time around and also the same quality of teams are not involved. That’s not to say that this double game-week should be ignored rather it should be treated with some caution. Therefore we would suggest that when you are making your transfers this week you not only consider players involved in the double but that you should also look elsewhere and with this in mind we have below discussed a number of players whom we feel can...[Read More]

Tips Game-week 33 – FPL Fantasy Football Premier League The last two game-weeks have demonstrated what fantasy football is all about, GW31 saw the vast majority of managers smash the 100 point barrier but then GW32 brought must of us crashing back down to earth with a bang. There are now only six game-weeks left and as some Scottish bloke once said, ‘it’s squeaky bum time’. How you approach the remaining game-weeks will probably depend on how you’re situated. Should you be top of your mini-leagues it’s possibly time to batten down the hatches and consolidate your position. However, should be trying to make up ground now is not the time to play safe, it’s time to roll that dice and gamble hard. Whichever of these positions you find yourself in we have below outlined a number of picks ...[Read More]

Fantasy Hot Topics – FPL Fantasy Football Premier League We certainly hope you enjoyed the rollercoaster that was GW31. With a high score of 205 points and an average score of 107 points, GW31 must surely go down in the FPL annals. If you were left disappointed, look on the bright side: you could be an Arsenal fan – and if you are, well you have our sympathies. Should you have scored big, the key is now to capitalise on that score over the remaining game-weeks, whether your goal is the overall rankings or simply that mini-league that you win every year. This week, rather than rolling out our weekly tips article we have decided to discuss a number topics which could influence the decisions we make over the coming weeks.

Double Game-Week 31 Comparison Suarez vs Sturridge Luis Suarez or Daniel Sturridge is a debate that has taken a hold of the FPL world, in particular since Sturridge came back in GW21. The easiest thing in the world has been seeing the need to own both of them, the hardest thing has been choosing which one to captain. On a weekly basis we find ourselves rooting for our captain and rooting against the other half of S&S, despite them also being on our team. With the big Double Game-Week on the verge of commencing we find ourselves digging a bit deeper into the numbers and the possible consequences of choosing one over the other.

Tips Game-week 31 – FPL Fantasy Football Premier League Let’s get ready to rumble!!! Yes the game-week that everyone has been waiting for is finally with us. We have ten teams playing twice this week for a total of fifteen fixtures stretched over five days. We’ve talked about it and planned for it over the past number of weeks and the good news, or bad news, depending on how you look at it, is that the time for talking and planning is almost over! With this game-week being so important we have this week decided to focus only on teams & players who will feature twice in GW31 and below we have outlined a number of players who can hopefully help you reach your goals this week. If you own single game-week players and are comfortable playing them then that’s fine and would not a...[Read More]

Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 30 So the mayhem that was GW29 is now behind us and those of us who planned for it hopefully came through it unscathed and possibly even picked up those all important green arrows. Unfortunately things don’t get any easier as the mammoth DGW31 is only around the corner, although we’re pretty sure most of you have been planning for that over the past few weeks. One piece of advice we would like to offer at this stage is to not get blinded by the double game-week, after all there are another seven game-weeks following it, oh and we still have GW30 to deal with! Anyway, below we have outlined a number of players who we feel can deliver over the coming weeks.
