Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 32 Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 32. It seems like forever since we last met – whether its been the friendly internationals, or wildcard planning or fretting on how to play the chips and navigate the last few intense weeks of the season. But it’s time to get back to what we know best – cheering on our players, watching clean sheets disappear and celebrating Salah scoring. And it’s our favourite Egyptian who kicks us off as he and his Liverpool chums travel down to Crystal Palace for the early kick off. Shame, that fixture was always better under the lights… Six 3pm matches follow as Leicester go to Brighton, Man Utd host Swansea, Newcastle welcome Huddersfield, Bournemouth travel to Watford, doom...[Read More]
FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team Gameweek 32
FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team Gameweek 32 Welcome to the FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team Gameweek 32. Our steady and unspectacular rise up the rankings continued with another green arrow, our 7th in eight weeks. However, we only rose 10k places and now sit in 156,626th place after a score of 86pts – not bad considering we only had 7 players playing! Salah was of course the star here – captain fantastic with 58pts. A goal from Firmino and two assists for Mane saw his sidekicks join in the fun. Even Theo contributed an assist, bless him. Shaq and Begovic did nothing, Baeur and Niasse didn’t even show up and the rest of the crew had a week off anyway. All our chips remain in hand, some plans need to be made! Last weeks result… This week’s transfer…..IT&...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 32
Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 32 Welcome to Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 32. I’ve been off the grid for the past week or so due to a few reasons – mainly that work has been extremely busy with ‘year-end’ stuff. The usual shenanigans, it’s either ‘we need to pull money out of our backsides to fund what’s already been spent’ or finding some ‘must spend now!’ money down the back of the council sofa. “Mad March” it has always been termed and I understood why as the 1st April, the new financial year loomed. But perhaps now this same moniker could be applied each season to FPL (it’s around this time the DGWs are announced). Because even before last Thursday’s announcement of the DGWs in GW 34 and (probably) 37...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 32
Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 32 2017/18 Welcome to Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 32. Savour this article. As it may be the last one for a good while that doesn’t bang on endlessly about DGW’s! And BGW’s for that matter. Our Fixtures article did, and our Tips article that will follow almost certainly will. That’s not our MO here though, we are here to talk about GW32 and GW32 alone. So much so that you could almost also consider this as a player tips article for this week alone, except for the fact that we can only see 3 viable options! Armband or not, if a player makes this shortlist then you can be sure that he’s one that you should probably at least aspire to want in your ranks for the week ahead. We say the above because a certain Egypt...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Fixture Analysis Gameweek 32
Fantasy Football Fixture Analysis Gameweek 32 Welcome to Fantasy Football Fixture Analysis Gameweek 32. Hold onto your hats folks, it’s going to be a bumpy ride! Wildcards, double gameweeks, blank gameweeks and more chips than Vegas baby! It’s time to gamble, do you go all in or play it safe? However you play, there is no denying this is the most exciting part of the season. It’s payback time for that annoying bloke from work, you know the one, we all have one in our mini league; their chips were spent long ago, their meagre returns celebrated (in your face) like three lines and the bonus ball and they think theyr’e Rockefeller, with proclamations of ‘this year is my year, loser’, bless them. They’re heading into the final furlong, blissfully ignorant of double and blank gameweeks, n...[Read More]
Barry and Paul’s Predictions GW32
Barry and Paul’s Predictions GW32 Welcome to Barry and Paul’s Predictions GW32. It feels like GW31 was a long long time ago, so forgive me for being brief! The standout result was of course Liverpool’s 5-0 demolition of Watford, Mo Salah goes from strength to strength, if only Liverpool had played in the 3 o’clock kick-off so a few more would have got the first scorer correct! The only other really notable result was the Palace 0-2 win over Huddersfield which was a right kick in the teeth for anyone predicting success for the Terriers in either FPL or B&P’s (which is obviously way more important!). Just one winner this week and that was Leprechaun with 7pts; not bad for just 4 matches! AT, who is becoming a regular in the weekly leaderboard, took 2nd spot with a close 6pts and ma...[Read More]
The DGW fixtures have been announced! Some of them…
The DGW fixtures have been announced! Some of them… Welcome to The DGW fixtures have been announced! Some of them….Having kept us in suspense for four days longer than we thought, the Premier League have at last started to release the dates of the rearranged fixtures. We now have a clear picture of DGW34, while the specific dates for the remaining fixtures still have to be officially revealed, although most indicators point to these matches being accommodated into GW37. So, these are the rearranged matches that are now part of DGW34: Brighton vs Spurs Bournemouth vs Man Utd Burnley vs Chelsea Leicester vs Southampton Therefore the following teams have two matches in DGW34: Bournemouth (liverpool, MAN UTD) Brighton (crystal palace, SPURS) Burnley (LEICESTER, CHELSEA) Chelsea (so...[Read More]
You can lead a Horse to water…
You can lead a Horse to water… But can he lead himself to victory?! Maybe, just maybe… By way of introduction (he probably needs none but here goes anyway…) Horse has been with us for years and years, dating back to our old FFC days in fact. And he’s leading our FF247 Regulars League for good measure too. And last season was definitely his last! He all but quit and it took a community intervention for him to even be here today. And we’re bet he’s glad he is as this season he’s absolutely flying! And he’s very kindly taken some time out for us to reflect on what he has changed in his approach to FPL this season and tells us how he thinks that has helped him to rise in the ranks to his current lofty position. And as a helpful (and ever so perti...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 31
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 31 Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 31. Blink and you’ll miss it, is probably the best way to describe GW31. Or blank GW31 as it is more commonly known. Just four fixtures survive the week due to the FA Cup quarter finals which are also taking place this week. Three of our games take place at 3pm on Saturday as Bournemouth are the next to have shooting practice vs West Brom, Huddersfield welcome Crystal Palace and Everton get a chance to improve their away record as they go to Stoke. Of more interest to most will be the evening kick off and the end of our game-week as Liverpool host Watford at Anfield. And that’s it! THE GAMES IN FULL Keep track of all the action, the goals, the talking points, right here at FF247 Li...[Read More]
FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team Gameweek 31
FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team Gameweek 31 Welcome to the FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team Gameweek 31. It was duller than dull but somehow 42pts brought us another green arrow, our 6th in 7 weeks. We’re so good at this. Ah the rank, well we rose a small 2.5k to 166,358…. hmmm maybe we’re not that good! Those celebrated green arrows have seen us rise from 252k to 166k. Talk about ‘Slowly, slowly catchee monkey’. At this rate we will at least achieve our stated aim of a top 10k finish… by GW57! Let’s just hope Richard Scudamore is listening! Thank the Lord, not you Pards, that we bought Mahrez a couple of weeks ago as his goal and assist made him our top scorer this week. Otamendi and Lowton both chipped in with clean sheets with the City man coll...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Tips and Captain Picks Gameweek 31
Fantasy Football Tips and Captain Picks Gameweek 31 Welcome to Fantasy Football Tips and Captain Picks Gameweek 31. We may be masochist’s in many respects but we don’t (normally!) treat our writers in the same fashion. In a week with just four fixtures, asking our Tips writer to do anything other than name the bleeding obvious seemed cruel. Asking this week’s Captain writer to knock out an article to justify anyone but a Liverpool player, and in particular one named Mo, seemed… absurd. And painful. Instead… we’ve asked them all to do both! Sort of. We’ve expanded the thought process a bit though and have asked them all a series of questions about not only BGW31 but also about their plans for the weeks ahead and also their chip strategy. And their c...[Read More]
Barry and Paul’s Predictions GW31
Barry and Paul’s Predictions GW31 Welcome to Barry and Paul’s Predictions GW31. It’s always nice when a player pops up with the first goal of the game-week that people simply did not see coming. Anyone have Marcus Rashford? No me either. Rashford scored the first goal in Man Utd 2-1 win; he then grabbed the second, as if to drive home the point. Other notable results were Swansea grabbing a 0-0 despite playing with 10 men for almost the full match, Chelsea chucking away a clean sheet at the death (2-1) and Arsenal finding their cojones not once, not twice but three times, not to mention Troy Deeney losing his. A tie at the top this week, Igy4 and Labyrinth both finished on 12pts. It was a close ran affair, with third place also shared, Mahelmy, Sam10, Jamie Mc and our very own boy-wo...[Read More]
