FPL INTERVIEW: The Secret to Success
FPL INTERVIEW: The Secret of Success During my ‘FPL holiday’ I wanted and needed time away from the site – not just because the post lockdown period was intense and over the top, nor indeed that I wanted time away from you guys. I needed to stop, ‘freshen up’, think about the site and how to start the new season on FF247. I needed to ‘get away’ and to focus rather than get involved in CL Fantasy or indeed Scottish Fantasy. Credit to those that played or are still playing, but I needed that breathing space. It has dawned on me for a long time that I am not a great FPL player. Sure I’ve had one great season and a load of fun along the way. But good managers deliver again and again and again. What am I doing wrong? I searched ‘The Secret of Success’ and this is what popped up: “The secret of ...[Read More]
FPL is live 2020/21
FPL is live 2020 Welcome to FPL is live 2020/21 It’s time to set your team up, re-join leagues and get tinkering! Although it’s worth noting that the actual Premier League fixtures are still to be released and likely won’t be until after the Champions League and Europa League have completed. For FPL the biggest change appears to be the deadline changing to 90mins before kick-off – seemingly in an attempt to combat those annoying and often false team leaks. The Chips have remained the same as has the budget of 100mln. The biggest changes seem to have come in player prices and in some cases, classification. Some of the more obvious changes at first glance are: Players now classed as midfielders: Aubameyang (Arsenal) – price 12.0mln Greenwood (Man Utd) – price 7.5mln Rashford (Man Utd) – pric...[Read More]
UEFA Champions League Fantasy Football 2019/20 Semi-Final and Final
UEFA Champions League Fantasy Football 2019/20 Semi-Final and Final Simples… Hello everyone and welcome to UEFA Champions League Fantasy Football 2019/20 Semi-Final and Final. Right then, forget that Scottish nonsense absolutely no nonsense this time as we have little time to waste, this one will be over in the blink of an eyelid. No more dragging GW’s out over weeks and months for the Champions League, this is bish-bash-bosh at its best. Or worst. If you’ve got this far with it you probably don’t need us to tell you what the craic is with sub and capo changes or how to order your bench. If you still do, then quite frankly… tough sh*t :rofl: In short we have two semis and a final, starting on Tuesday and concluding on Sunday. So let’s crack on with the v...[Read More]
UEFA Champions League Fantasy Football 2019/20 Last 16 – 2nd Leg, Part 2!
UEFA Champions League Fantasy Football 2019/20 Last 16 – 2nd Leg, Part 2! Hello everyone and welcome to UEFA Champions League Fantasy Football 2019/20 Last 16 – 2nd Leg, Part 2!. Right then, forget that Scottish nonsense, real football is back on Friday! (In fairness it’s doing a roaring trade and has attracted over 400 comments as we speak). But come on you CL’ers, time to stand up, do us proud and put that particular Scotch Egg back in its basket (and no, I don’t mean GP). We begin again on Friday and essentially we pick up where we left off way back in March. But it’s a bit weird as we are basically half way through the 2nd part of the last 16. Four of the quarter finalists are already decided, the other four are still to be decided as those eight teams need to complet...[Read More]

Win your share of €1,000,000 playing Fantasy Premier League football this season Most of us love a private cash league with our friends, families and work colleagues when it comes to Fantasy Premier League. We all like doing battle for a few hundred pounds each season, so what do you say to the thought of winning your share of €1,000,000? Intrigued? We thought you might be, as we were when we first heard about it a few weeks ago before the official launch. They say that if something sounds too good to be true, then it usually is. However, this means that sometimes it’s not too good to be true, and this is one of those times. There’s €1,000,000 in cash up for grabs just by playing fantasy football this season. And the best thing about it? It’s almost exactly like our beloved FPL game we lov...[Read More]

THE SCOTCH CORNER – SCOTTISH PREMIERSHIP FANTASY FOOTBALL 2020/21
THE SCOTCH CORNER – SCOTTISH PREMIERSHIP FANTASY FOOTBALL 2020/21 Irn Bru Deep Fried Mars Bars Shortbread The Loch Ness Monster The Proclaimers Whisky spelt without the ‘e’ …… and a professional football league which is awful and in all honesty could be won at a canter by a team of middle-aged, beer-bellied Englishmen pulled out the pub a couple of hours before the start of the season. Sound about right? The Scottish Premiership returns on 1st August and a new and improved fantasy game comes with it and we at FF247 (by which I mean me) invite you to join our (by which I mean my) FF247 fantasy league for a little harmless ‘bit on the side’. I don’t expect you to follow religiously every team in the SPFL and dedicate endless hours to this as it will eventually run alongside the main FP...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat and FF247 Site Team Gameweek 38+
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat and FF247 Site Team Gameweek 38+ Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek and FF247 Site Team 38+. What could possibly go wrong………………………………? GW38+ Deadline; Sunday 26th July 3pm GMT We’ve finally come to the end of what was ultimately a bizarre yet memorable season. Possibly for all the wrong reasons but it is what it is. Or was what it was, hopefully. We can’t let it go without handing out more than a few ‘thanks’ though. We feel like we do this every season, and we do, but that doesn’t mean any of it is less heartfelt. Let’s go view everybody’s end of year school (FF247) report… The Writing Team Outstanding. We have a team of about...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 38+
Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 38+ Welcome to Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 38+ Given as we finally have a few days to breathe between GW’s, we thought we would break the monotony and bring you something approaching a normal article. And it’s a nice one to finish off on in that respect, as we’ve invited our entire writing team for the 2019/20 season to give you their Captain Picks for GW38+ and a little bit of space to add anything else they want to say as a bit of a season sign-off. If anyone remembers the shenanigans we have had the last few times we have done a shared Capo article (in terms of people basically lying, or at least being forced to) then we should add as a caveat that we have at least asked them to be honest for once and tell us who their actu...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Tips ‘One Week Wonders’ Gameweek 38+
Fantasy Football Tips ‘One Week Wonders’ Gameweek 38+ It’s certainly been a strange season dominated by the worst kind of virus. But they had to win the league in the end I suppose. We arrive in GW38+ after what can only be described as a frenzied plethora of nine game-weeks in just five-and-a-half calendar weeks that has left most of us completely exhausted, not least many of the players. With one last game-week to go you may be in a situation where a mini-league is still up for grabs or you’re chasing one last jump up the rankings, maybe you’re trying to avoid your worst ever season – or perhaps you still have one of your Chips left to play. Whatever your situation, I have come up with a list of players who I think may do well for you in GW38+. I’ve even tried to play Pep rou...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat and FF247 Site Team Gameweek 37+
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat and FF247 Site Team Gameweek 37+ Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 37+. GW37+ Deadline; Saturday 18th July 4.30pm GMT But can he play left-back? These game-weeks are getting ridiculous now. As one ends, the next starts and so it is with GW37+, although at least this one lasts for five days. This is of course due to the weekend’s FA Cup semi-finals which are between Arsenal and Manchester City and then Manchester United and Chelsea. Now the implications of these cup semis are that players from any of the aforementioned teams could pick up injuries or fatigue from their Cup matches and it also means we won’t receive team news on their opponents (Watford, Villa, West Ham and Liverpool) before they meet in midweek. The game-week begins on Sat...[Read More]
