Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 23
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 23 Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 23. We’ve gone from feast to famine in terms of a hectic Christmas and NY period to the lull of FA Cup weekend. However we return to normality this week – a 3-day gameweek! We kick off with six 3pm matches – Danny Drinkwater gets a chance to show his old employers how far he has come as he watches Chelsea host Leicester. From the bench presumably. Palace welcome Burnley, West Ham go to Huddersfield, basement dwellers Swansea travel to Newcastle, Watford and Saints meet at Vicarage Road and Lord Pardew looks to continue West Brom’s brilliant run as they host Brighton. The evening match sees bus driver Big Sam drive down to Spurs. Sunday sees two matches – first up ...[Read More]
FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team Gameweek 23
FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team Gameweek 23 Welcome to the FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team Gameweek 23. Christmas, Santa Claus, Happiness, Elves, Reindeers with red noses, Joy, Kids with presents, New Year rejoicing, time with families. Yeah, whatever… Means nothing when you check back in and have 3 red arrows out of 4. If we could say we got too drunk and missed a deadline or capped the wrong player then that’d be better, but we didn’t. We were diligent, we had the discussions. We just got it wrong. And sometimes you can just try too hard! We’ve dropped from 146k to 219k since the last time we spoke to you. On the positive side we were delighted by how many people, both on the site and twitter, actually complained about the lack of an article each week! We did as...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 23
Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 23 Welcome to Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 23. Certain people did their best over the weekend to get me into a bad mood (Init) so I’d best live up to my GABO nickname and have a bit of a moan. The obvious thing for me to have a moan about would be the departure of Coutinho but that was going to happen sooner or later. Instead I’ll have a moan about the FA Cup. I’m all about the good ol’ days when it comes to football so it saddens me to see how they’ve trivialised the Cup. The FA Cup 3rd round is all about 3pm kick offs on a Saturday afternoon not 8pm kick offs on a Friday night! Who’ll ever forget non-league Sutton United defeating a Coventry side who only 19 months earlier had won the competition? Or a 37-year-old Mickey Thomas equalising for Wrexham agai...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 23
Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 23 2017/18 Welcome to Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 23. Back to a bit of normalcy after that miserable DGW and there’s nothing like the old miserable regular game-week to get us back in the spirits. This week I was tasked with coming up with some captaincy options for you all to mull over. I was also told to not pick them and then spend a whole paragraph on why they were actually bad options, like I apparently did last time. Basically they have asked me to hide the truth… I can do that, I don’t have a problem with doing that at all 😉 In fact, if you must know there are a few things I live by, which I think would serve most people well, but let me just mention the one that is most relevant to this article. “It’s...[Read More]

Fantasy Football Fixture Analysis Gameweek 23
Fantasy Football Fixture Analysis Gameweek 23 Welcome to Fantasy Football Fixture Analysis Gameweek 23. You’ll have to forgive me if my first shot at fixtures turns out a little bit out of sorts. After questioning whether our investment in this early DGW I caved and invested a -8 in Ogbonna and Eriksen. I got knocked out of the Cup by a Son goal that salvaged a point for my beloved Spurs. I don’t know what to think… While every point in the league is important I think I would have taken the Ogbonna CS and given my self something to continue playing this miserable game for. As it is, I saw all red arrows and am wallowing outside of the top 600k, with very little to play for as I got beat by my wife in my family head-to-head league… again… So, why would you bother to read on then? Good quest...[Read More]
Grab, Avoid or Bore Off! – Fantasy Premier League 2017-18 Brutal Honesty
Grab, Avoid or Bore Off! – Fantasy Premier League 2017-18 Brutal Honesty BRUTAL. HONESTY. We are past the half way stage, and have a bit of of a break now, so we thought it pertinent to check back in with a few old hands to see how their seasons are going and what their thoughts are on both the fare so far and how they think things will pan out ahead. Given the title, we have chosen them carefully – In trap No.1 is Mr Brutal himself. Mito. It’s practically his middle name. If anyone ever needs a ‘pick me up’ during a particularly dire GW then be sure to follow us on twitter… Mito will be on hand to drive that stake right the way through. And then twist it. In trap No.2 is Mr Honesty. You get what you see with Cookie. He’s been there, seen it and do...[Read More]
TO HIT or NOT TO HIT – THE SEQUEL!
TO HIT or NOT TO HIT – THE SEQUEL! Welcome to TO HIT or NOT TO HIT – THE SEQUEL!. The last time we examined the ‘hit phenomenon’ was in the inaugural edition of everybody’s favourite Fantasy Football Magazine. Which was way back in GW30 of last season. And it’s fair to say that it garnered a great reaction, on many platforms. It sparked some very highbrow debates in fact, even on twitter! We shall come onto those later. Let’s begin with the basics though and tell you what we are going to examine in ‘THE SEQUEL’. Let’s go very basic: he keeps saying ‘hits’, what the heck is he talking about? Well, a ‘hit’ is simply taking a -4 point deduction in order to bring in an additional player in any given gameweek, above your allocated free transfer(s). The theory is that it allows you t...[Read More]

Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 22 Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 22. Happy New Year! Coming thick and fast these game-weeks aren’t they? And this one is our first DGW of the season with Spurs and West Ham having two matches each. It is their rearranged derby that concludes our GW on Thursday, but before then we have three days of action. Today sees five matches – the lunchtime fun sees a south coast battle as Brighton host Bournemouth. If that doesn’t tickle your fancy then at 3pm we have the Liverpool attack vs the Burnley defence, Leicester welcoming Huddersfield and Newcastle travelling to Stoke. The evening fun takes us to Goodison with Rooney inviting his old United mates over for a drink. And extras. Tuesday sees four further matches...[Read More]

Barry and Paul’s Predictions GW19 – GW22
Barry and Paul’s Predictions GW19 – GW22 Welcome to Barry and Paul’s Predictions GW19 – GW22 (more on that in a moment). Man City and Liverpool were perhaps the predictable stand-out scores this week with 4 goals in their respective fixtures. Joining them in the ‘4 goal gang’ this week, were Huddersfield who recorded a surprise 1-4 victory away to Watford, anyone have that? No me neither. LAST WEEKS WINNER! And finally we have a correct first goal scorer prediction! Where many have failed before, Coyotes correctly predicted Christian Benteke would be the first scorer in the GW. Those 5pts were enough to propel Coyotes to the top, finishing as this week’s winner on 12 pts. Mito came a close second with a solid 11 pts and this week’s top 3 was completed by Pancho and DMC who weig...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 21 2017/18
Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 21 2017/18 Welcome to Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 21. I’m not sure why I’m bothering to write this gameweek’s Captain Picks article. There’s only one candidate who’s really worth considering. I won’t name him but his form’s just been insane. Saturday 23rd December: hat-trick. Tuesday 26th December: hat-trick. It’d likely be rather embarrassing for me to back against another one. He’s been transferred in by over 120,000 since. And rising. Still, if you’re one who follows actual fixtures over form, here are 5 alternative and vaguely available candidates for your team’s armband… Alvaro Morata vs Stoke (H) My captain. I wish anyway, if I actually owned him. Stoke have already conceded 41 goals and 3+ against each of the following: West ...[Read More]
