MLS GW17 Tips Fantasy Major League Soccer This will be another compact article due to the ongoing World Cup. The tournament will get into a slower mode next week after it enters the round of 16. As much excitement as we are having with it, we need to keep in touch with MLS which is now at the mid point of the season. NEW FF247 MLS LEAGUE For anyone who missed it we have decided to start up a fresh FF247 MLS league which began in GW13. Please feel free to join in and it’s a great time to do so as a quirk of the new MLS rules means they have split their season in two. The first part expires in GW17. You will then automatically be entered in to our league again for the ‘second half of the season’ league which begins next week. It’s a perfect opportunity to begin playin...[Read More]

We hope that you are happy with the 15 players you ended up with, but even if you decided against playing the fantasy version we still encourage you to partake in the chat below.

Predictor games, brackets, bets on the golden boot are all welcomed here. And yeah, even old school footy chat for those that who are just watching the games for fun and just want to talk about the Joga Bonito. So that you ha...[Read More]

Fantasy World Cup Russia Group D Guide Welcome to Fantasy World Cup Russia Group D Guide. Well, I was supposed to have this article ready and up on Saturday, but then I had the audacity to go on vacation (that’s what we call “going on holiday” on this side of the pond). So Init, in his ever gracious manner, (or maybe just because he happened to be on holiday and didn’t want to pick up my slack) let me distort the alphabet and get you D in a belated manner. So, without any more delay, here is the run-down on Group D! Group D has some interesting pairings! In the last World Cup, Argentina and Nigeria both took part in Group F, where they both advanced out of their group. Their match was a 3-2 victory for Argentina, with Messi and Ahmed Musa each scoring two, and a Marcos Rojo goal the only t...[Read More]
Fantasy World Cup Russia Group G Guide Welcome to Fantasy World Cup Russia Group G Guide. Group G is considered to be a relatively easy group, however, that depends on your point of view; fans of World Cup virgins Panama probably don’t fancy their chances much. Other than the men who don’t make the hats (I was dismayed to learn Panama hats originate from Ecuador) Group G consists of perennial underachievers England, perennial dark horses Belgium and Tunisia (I ran out of perennial based superlatives), who everyone seems to have written off, but could yet pull off a nasty surprise or two. Unsurprisingly Belgium are favourites to top the group, England tipped to take second, and it could go either way in my opinion. Nobody expects much from Tunisia, and even less is expected from Panama. The...[Read More]
Barry and Paul’s World Cup Predictions Game 1 Welcome to Barry and Paul’s World Cup Predictions Game 1. We’re back! We’ve only been gone a few short weeks but already it feels an age, thankfully not much has changed. We do have a whole bunch of lovely new members, so I’d like to first say a very warm welcome to each and every one of you. It’s usually very quiet on-site around this time of year, so it’s been nice to have some new ‘faces’ to interact with. Lets all enjoy the tranquillity while it lasts, the new season will be upon us in no time, but before then we have the small matter of a World Cup to enjoy! As the title suggests this is the World Cup Edition of the competition you all (well most of you) know and love. For our new members this is a simple predictions based comp...[Read More]

Fantasy World Cup Russia Group F Guide Welcome to Fantasy World Cup Russia Group F Guide. When most people watch the World Cup draw their thoughts wander to who their team will be facing and their possible subsequent prospects. When an FF247 writer views the draw they simply see 25 teams they know nothing about and yet know full well that they will be tasked with writing about at least 3 of them in a few months time! And thus that is exactly the case here. Group F contains Germany, Mexico, Sweden and South Korea. Now I can waffle on to my hearts content about the prospects of Germany, we probably all could, such is their profile. But I can’t honestly say I followed the progress of the other 3 to the finals with much vigor. Yours truly is nothing if not resourceful though! Your other ...[Read More]
MLS GW16 Tips Fantasy Major League Soccer As the World Cup is just around the corner this is a short article for a short round before MLS takes a break and gives us a chance to prepare for the big event. NEW FF247 MLS LEAGUE For anyone who missed it we have decided to start up a fresh FF247 MLS league beginning in GW13. Please feel free to join in.

It’s a perfect opportunity to begin playing MLS if you haven’t already, or if like many others you’ve been playing but haven’t given it due care and attention due to the busy end to the FPL season then perhaps a perfect opportu...[Read More]
Fantasy World Cup Russia Group H Guide Welcome to Fantasy World Cup Russia Group H Guide. Group H promises to be one of the more unpredictable groups in the tournament as Poland, Senegal, Colombia and Japan compete for two spots in the knock-out stage. Tough to call who will come first and second in the group, though one would expect Colombia to rock the boat and top Group H, while Poland and Senegal duke it out for second place. The bookies’ favourites are Colombia in first with Poland in second. The winner of Group H will play the runner-up of Group G, and conversely, the runner-up of Group H will play the winner of Group G. Belgium and England are expected to go through from G, though who knows in which order. The game itself can be accessed here – FIFA World Cup And the official ...[Read More]
Fantasy World Cup Russia Group E Guide Welcome to Fantasy World Cup Russia Group E Guide. This group is evenly split in terms of geography as we see two Latin American teams, Brazil and Costa Rica, play two Central European teams, Serbia and Switzerland. It’s going to be an interesting group as we get to see the age-old question of which style is better, the Latin slick and smooth or the European tough and direct. Even though the geography is balanced the level of skill is not as this group feels like the ‘best’ against the ‘rest’. The winner of this group should be Brazil, unless they implode, so even though you may think this group is not worth watching, stop and read this because the other three teams could provide a lot of competition for 2nd place. Costa Rica, Serbia and Switzerland w...[Read More]
Fantasy World Cup Russia Group C Guide Welcome to Fantasy World Cup Russia Group C Guide. Group C is made up of four teams with long and varied World Cup histories. Group favourites and top seeds France are making their fifteenth appearance and were winners on home soil in 1998. Whilst it may not look like it upon first glance, this group is packed with World Cup finals experience, as each of the other three sides are all making their fifth appearance at the finals and none of the four sides have failed to escape the group stage. With both Peru and Denmark both being previous Quarter Finalists and Australia reaching the last 16 in 2006. Interestingly, both of the Intercontinental Play-Off winners feature in this group with Australia (after beating Honduras 3-1 over two legs) and Peru (who ...[Read More]
