Temporary Buildings for Football Events
Temporary Buildings for Football Events What comes to your mind when you think of temporary buildings? Some claim that they are not durable while others say that they are hard to maintain. However, temporary buildings have always provided the same benefits as permanent buildings. They are relatively affordable and easy to setup and maintain. We all know that renting or buying a permanent building is expensive for most people, especially if you are thinking of hosting a football event. So, why not put up a temporary building which will not only save you money but also create enough space for all the audience? With that in mind, let us look at temporary buildings for football events. What Are Temporary Buildings? They are structures that are built within a short period, using temporary mater...[Read More]
FPL Tips Gameweek 11
FPL Tips Gameweek 11 Welcome to FPL Tips Gameweek 11. “So, you think you can Fantasy Football? I’m sure you do and I’m sure you can”* But this is a different kind of football we’re watching. Trends and statistics still apply but with no public in the stands cheering the home boys or booing the away team (and the ref) they are not as reliable. Strange and unpredictable events have happened as we’ve seen with Leicester beating City 2-5 or Villa beating Liverpool 7-2 and heck Tottenham are top of the league… We work with what we have nonetheless and GW 11 promises to be a high scoring one in terms of FPL points. Do bear in mind though before making any moves that the Aston Villa vs Newcastle game has been postponed and that there has been a midweek Champions League and...[Read More]
FPL Captain Picks Gameweek 11
FPL Captain Picks Gameweek 11 Welcome to FPL Captain Picks Gameweek 11 Assist Kings? To be fair, four assists from your chosen Captain isn’t a bad return. Kane got something similar earlier in the season, although he did also add a goal as a cherry on that assist cake. However… notice the lack of a plural in our opening sentence there? Hmmmm, yep. This was four assists from all of our chosen Captain’s! And there were no cherries. To be fair to last week’s writers it was a bit of a sh*t show of a week all round. But in our time honoured tradition let’s review how they fared: Init – DCL, 4 (captain) points. Less DCL, more Dominic Cummings (buggered off when most needed). Swirly – Vardy, 10 points. Less party, more a party banger fizzling out. 1 assis...[Read More]
Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW11
Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW11 Welcome to Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW11. It’s only taken 10 weeks but I think we can finally say with confidence that results have returned to the mean. 2-1 is a classic scoreline and normally the safest prediction in any given match, this week we had three of them. Throw in a 1-1, a couple of 1-0’s and the annual Man City 5 Burnley 0 and things look positively, well, normal. This week we have our first Covid Postponement, Villa v Newcastle as of now is no longer a part of GW11. Should it be moved to next week (and still fall within GW11) by all means predict the score, but it won’t be counted towards this week’s totals. On to the Winners. Top-spot this week is IzzatAziz with a very impressive 16pt...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 10
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 10 Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 10. It’s yet another elongated weekend of football as we go from Friday all the way through to Monday. We begin on said Friday with an 8pm KO as Palace welcome Newcastle. We have four games on Saturday with Brighton and Liverpool getting us going for brunch at 12.30pm, Man City and Burnley making Jeff smile at 3pm, Everton and Leeds for tea at 5.30pm and West Brom & Sheffield United for supper at 8pm. On Sunday we have three but you can all have a lie in as Saints and Man United don’t get going until 2pm, after which is the 3rd/4th place play-off at 4.30pm as Chelsea host Spurs before Arsenal and Wolves contest a Europa spot at 7.15pm. There is an early KO on Monday but this will probably ...[Read More]
FF247 FPL Team GW10
FF247 FPL Team GW10 Welcome to FF247 FPL Team GW10 Gameweek 9 was the first week of our wildcard. 56 points. ONE point above average. It’s not one point BELOW average. Every cloud and all that. . . . OK so we’ve always said that a Wildcard is for life not just for Christmas – i.e. you wildcard with a long term view. At least that’s the theory. We’re still happy with our lot or at least we haven’t discussed it much so there can’t be too many among us particularly worried. To mix it up, we’ll look at the bench first this week to see if there’s any immediate regrets. No there wasn’t. We had Forster (scrub), Bissouma (1), Dann (2) and Kilman (2) so at least we didn’t get any of the big calls wrong. The starting eleven’s star man was the heir to Duncan Ferguson’s throne, Dominic Calvert-Lewin w...[Read More]
FPL Captain Picks Gameweek 10
FPL Captain Picks Gameweek 10 Welcome to FPL Captain Picks Gameweek 10 Chat Sh*t Get Banged And no we aren’t particularly referring to Mito using last week’s article simply as a platform to slate his fellow writers. Well ok, we are a bit, but the main point was that there will be an overwhelming favourite Captain this week. The clue is in the title. But before we get on to that let’s see how last week’s lot actually got on: Kop – DCL, 26 (captain points). The top score out of our picks. And we bet he was still unhappy with it! Smash – Bruno, 22 points. Looked like he had it in the bag until DCL came along. Mito – Ziyech, 6 points. We shall forgive him this one as it was a late pick and the obvious ones had already gone. Call it a punt. Or something...[Read More]
FPL Tips Gameweek 10
FPL Tips Gameweek 10 Welcome to FPL Tips Gameweek 10 In recent weeks we’ve had a ‘Stick/Twist/Bet-the-house’ system of Tips from Rosco (GW9), Kop revisiting the earlier youthful version of himself (GW8 but poking fun at him in GW1), superb Smash brilliantly debuting in GW7, James and a differential-angled list (GW6) and a Tiered System of Tips AND an FPL-themed pop song from Swirly in GW5. I’m sitting here thinking (sic Charlie Nicholas) what can I do and I gave up after a minute. I’ll tell you below who I’m tipping. Not that I am at all dismissive of my predecessor’s work – I loved them more than you – but you need to be big and clever to top those or even come close. And I might be big but I’m not that clever. I’ve been very self-aware in the past of how long my piece has been (steady on...[Read More]
Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW10
Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW10 Welcome to Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW10. As the weeks progress the scores seem to continually revert to the mean. This week was no different. No team scored more than 3 goals and those crazy scorelines that will forever be synonymous with lockdown will soon be a thing of the past, much like Zoom calls, hand sanitizer and working in your kecks. I digress. The winner is our very own Kop, topping the table with a not so unlucky 13pts. Pushing him close this week are Mosc, Basic and Pjlill who all finished up on 12pts in second place. Sadly no one got FGS which wasn’t all that surprising really (Fernandez OG). As you’ll see below, after many requests we have the return of the league table. We’ve had a few is...[Read More]
FPL Fixtures Gameweek 10
FPL Fixtures Gameweek 10 I’ll be honest I was finding it easier to pick out teams with unfavourable fixtures, rather than favourable ones for this week’s article. Not sure if teams are so bad the fixtures are looking terrible to me or if I’m just morphing into Kop! I seem to be getting more pessimistic by the second this season so yeah… I’ll just say Kop’s influence has worn me down. Coming back from an international break where Ireland played another three games and still didn’t score, Salah decided kissing and hugging loads of people at a wedding in the middle of a pandemic was a good idea, and another load of players got injured. Do you really need to question why I’m becoming a pessimist yet? FIFA really need to have a rethink about these international games and why they are even going...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 9
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 9 Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 9. We are back from another International break and the gameweek kicks off with Toon hosting Chelsea in a lunchtime affair. That is followed by three more fixtures, all spread out of course, as is the new norm. Villa tangle with Brighton and after that we see Spurs take on City. The day comes to an end with Manchester United welcoming in West Brom. Sunday brings us four more games. The day starts with Fulham taking on Everton. The Blades then play host to The Hammers, which is followed by Bielsa’s pupils facing off against Arteta’s boys. Those were all the appetizers though as the best fixture was left for last with Liverpool’s U12’s (or whatever they have left fit) facing off...[Read More]
FF247 FPL Team GW9
FF247 FPL Team GW9 Welcome to FF247 FPL Team GW9 Rite of passage Remember GW8? Barely? Well hear us now as we take you back and display our feathers proudly. 67 points – 12 above the average – whilst good, is not exactly earth- shattering, but taken in the context of our previous two weeks where we were below average and taking hits (well one), then we’re content and ready to grasp the nettle and tackle the week ahead vigorously… …and more on that later. What seems like TEN Fridays ago, Southampton beat Newcastle United 2-0 and Alex McCarthy made it four clean sheets in six for our team. We still have the two Newcastle boys who posted just two points each. Elsewhere on the Friday Charlie Taylor (8) was the toast of FF247 towers with his two bonus points supplementing his clean ...[Read More]
