FPL Captain Picks Gameweek 18
FPL Captain Picks Gameweek 18 Welcome to FPL Captain Picks Gameweek 18 Technically Speaking… We usually begin with a round-up of how our writers fared last time out, with a bit of head-to-head ‘banter’ in mind, but given that ‘last time out’ was actually GW12, because of Christmas etc, that would probably just be silly and chirlish. So, here’s how they got on then… 3rd. Jamesimmo – Salah vs Fulham (A). A goal and a bonus was enough to give James and Salah 16 Captain points. Technically this was 2nd, but we oft ignore such details, so last it was. 2nd. Horse – Vardy vs Brighton (H). A bumper haul of a goal, 2 assists and a bonus saw them home on 26. Technically Horse won, but we oft ignore such minor details… 1st!!! Mito – K(...[Read More]
FPL Fixtures Gameweek 18
FPL Fixtures Gameweek 18 No sh*t, Sherlock Writing this so early may yet prove to be folly, and no doubt the second it is published the PL will announce a circuit breaker and B(lank)GW18 will become B(leak)GW18 and we shall be back into the territory of adding ‘+’ symbols to GW’s again. But just in case we somehow avoid the above doomsday scenario we have decided to break the upcoming week’s down into words. You could always just look at the Fixture Tracker but sometimes it also helps to have the lay of the land spelt out in simple terms.* *On the above, and to confirm what BoJo said on Monday evening, as far as he is concerned he is happy for it to continue. But that does of course depend on Covid cases within clubs not escalating and the players behaving responsib...[Read More]
Three starlets set to take the Premier League by storm
Three starlets set to take the Premier League by storm One of the undisputed key strategies for fantasy football success is unearthing a hidden gem that will keep your points tally ticking over with the minimum of investment. And for that reason, it is important to be across the brightest stars arriving on the scene. Many of those may be overseas imports or untested play-makers making the step up with a promoted side. But there are always players coming off the youth development conveyor belt at Premier League clubs, whether returning from loan or preparing to make their senior bow. In this article, we highlight three players who have the potential to take the Premier League by storm in 2021 – and who could provide a handy points catalyst as a part of a more experienced wider squad. ...[Read More]
Fantasy Sports: Everything You Need to Know about this amazing trend
Fantasy Sports: Everything You Need to Know about this amazing trend Fantasy sports betting has become a new trend among people nowadays. Millions of users use this new form of sport and betting. In simple terms, fantasy sport is a new form of real sports matches or tournaments where you just need to select the players from both the team to create your own virtual team and take part in the fantasy game. Then your winning chances depend on the individual performance of each player (of your team) in the real as well as the virtual field. In games like soccer, American football, and cricket, fantasy sports have gained popularity in the past two decades. Rather than the performance of the whole team, the performance and skills of each player play a crucial role in fantasy sports. This phenomen...[Read More]

FF247 FPL Team GW17
FF247 FPL Team GW17 Don’t mention the ‘C’ word We may have finally have caught a break. We may well have caught more than that, but more on that later! We have had some horrible luck this season. But we won’t bemoan that as many have had horrible luck this year in general. Both inside, and more pertinently outside, of FPL. Your author himself managed to buy both Siggy and Son this week, and you can’t get much worse luck than that! In FPL that is. One of our own committee tested positive for the ‘C’ word this week and so we wish him and his family well. Puts things into perspective. He seems well though and he has been warned that if he intends to die then we require 30 days notice in writing. Everything that could have gone against us this season pretty much h...[Read More]

Given that GW15 begins on Saturday and ends on Sunday and then GW16 starts on Monday we hope you can forgive us for not squeezing in any other articles. In fact they are so closely related we have simply decided to put up a joint Live Match Chat for the pair. Seems lazy, and it probably is, but it also makes sense. Crack on and chat about both, basically. Not to complicate matters all you really need to know is the following; GW15 begins at 11am on the 26th. GW16 begins at 1.30pm on the 28th. The games in full… Keep track of all the action, the goals, the talking points, right here at FF247 Live Match Chat, an interactive chat which encourages you to keep invo...[Read More]
FF247 FPL Team GW16
FF247 FPL Team GW16 With a small window of opportunity between GW’s we thought we had best provide a brief update on our FF247 Site Team plans. And brief it will be. It’s fair to say GW15 didn’t quite go to plan!!! When Grealish, Salah (C), KdB, KWP, Kane and DCL bring home 15 between them and McCarthy, Targett and Bamford get you nearly 55% of your total points then you just know it isn’t your week. All that saw us finish on 37 points and according to www.livefpl.net a slight drop in rank down to just south of 2m. Our GW15 Result… With two free transfers and £0,3m in the bank let’s go see what was decided… Our GW16 Transfer(s) As a reminder our B/Dgw’s 18 & 19 plan is to Free Hit in the former and possibly Bench Boost in the latter. The...[Read More]

Fantasy Football Diary 2020/21 – Xmas Day Special Happy Christmas to you all. If you’re reading this on Christmas Day then we applaud your commitment to the site! If you have enough time before being dragged back to present opening, turkey basting or if you’re young and lucky enough to be getting your leg over, then let me walk and talk you through the last few (game)weeks.

With Salah joining the Covid club he is ruled out of the weekend, maybe longer. The...[Read More]
FF247 FPL Team GW15
FF247 FPL Team GW15 The rank is an embarrassment, and that’s coming from me… We wish we could nail the captain We wish we could nail the captain We wish we could nail the captain But 50% of our captains have had 8 points or less….. OK so our lyrical talents need a little brushing up but so does our overall rank in all honesty. Plodding along at just under the 2M mark at Christmas. We feel we are really yet to truly start this season. A drop of 400k places and of course the customary red arrow. We reside at 1,964,141 to be exact and to appease those who like everything on exact record. We scored 53 points in GW14 which was 7 points below the average. If it was not for Mo Salah (eventually), and Jack Grealish scoring us 16 and 10 respectively, then we shudder to think how we would have...[Read More]
FPL Tips Gameweek 15
FPL Tips Gameweek 15 Ebenezer Smash sat hunched in his battered armchair, the last dying embers of his frugally made fire slowly died out, he shivered and pulled his dressing gown tighter around his slumped shoulders. In the distance, carol singers could be heard merrily singing a rendition of some Christmas carol that Smash did not recognise. “Bah humbug”, he muttered under his breath. A pad of paper sat on his lap; a few hastily scribbled notes sat underneath the title ‘Christmas FPL Tips’. He snorted a laugh: “Why would Init ask me to write tips?!” he wondered, not for the first time on this cold December night. In a past life, he had been an FPL manager of some note. Not anymore. His performances in recent seasons were best described as average, and this season ...[Read More]
