FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team Gameweek 15 Welcome to the FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team Gameweek 15. We of course played our wildcard and while the results weren’t instantly remarkably ‘WOW’, we did ok, given the rotation nightmares that many seemed to suffer. We scored 55 vs an average of 47, giving us a weekly rank of 1.3mln and saw us rise in the overall ranking to 246,768 from 298k. A step in the right direction for sure and as long as it continues, we remain a happy bunch. If you remember, one of the reasons we finally played the wildcard was to sort our defence and our new crew certainly did us proud with Christensen, Mustafi and Dunk all recording clean sheets. However, the true tale of our game-week came late on in the action as Sterling and Salah came up trumps, Salah from th...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 15
Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 1 2017/18 Welcome to Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 15. With this being the second gameweek in only a few days we are getting our first glimpse into the hectic future that will befall us all over the forthcoming Christmas period. Footie on the telly pretty much every day, holidays from education or work coming up, life will be good, so long as Pep, Conte, Jose and co. don’t screw us over too much with their rotation and mind games that will no doubt start up very soon if it hasn’t already! In my last Captain Picks article I tipped Aaron Mooy and got some (a lot!!) of ribbing for it and since then the bald Aussie has done sweet F. all!!! This has turned me off picking a differential pick that I like to do because I don’t want to jinx any more...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 14
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 14 Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 14. A Tuesday night Live Match Chat… Woohoo! Everyone loves a midweek GW don’t they?! The points come thick and fast, no waiting around for the matches to start, it’s all or nothing and done in the blink of an eyelid, relatively. Tuesday has 4 games with Brighton hosting a resurgent Palace, Leicester looking to further disrupt Spurs’ season, an in-form Watford hoping to capitalise on Jose’s indecision as to whether to attack or stifle and it ends with West Brom and Newcastle staring blankly at each other from their own halves, waiting for the other to blink. And probably not even reacting when the other does. Wednesday concludes our GW with another quick-fire succ...[Read More]
Barry and Paul’s Predictions GW15
Barry and Paul’s Predictions GW15 Welcome to Barry and Paul’s Predictions GW15. We’ve barely had time to process GW14 and already planning and panic has set in for GW15! There were some surprise results in GW14, anyone have Everton down for a 4-0 victory? No me either! Midweek fixtures always throw up some interesting scores. This GW it’s back to normality and then GW16 will see us officially into the crazy Christmas fixtures we keep hearing about. LAST WEEKS WINNER! Top spot was shared in GW14 between G-Spot and WhoIsRonaldo with 12pts, way out in front of second placed Matt (fix?), Steee-veh and Mito on 8pts, followed closely by Shane, COYS, Smash, Seren and Wazzalam with 7pts. Thanks to everyone who entered, better luck next week everyone! Congrats to G-spot and WhoisRonaldo...[Read More]

FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team Gameweek 14 Welcome to the FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team Gameweek 14. BEFORE YOU READ ANYTHING ELSE… THIS WEEKS DEADLINE IS TONIGHT! 18:45 GMT Raz you have been warned! Talk about chasing last week’s points! We brought in Wilson and Pogba after they seemingly ‘hit form’ with a joint total of 29 points last time. This time… 5! In total. That’ll teach us. Or them. We are on a wildcard this week, but will they make the cut? Stay tuned to find out. In total we got 57 points which was actually ok, the average was 43 and it saw us ahem ‘rocket’ up the rankings (not that hard from such a lowly base!) from 420k to 279,771. Still a long way to go but at least it’s a jump in the right direction after three cons...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 14
Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 14 2017/18 Welcome to Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 14. I’m rarely referred to as ‘a man of few words’. Indeed, some around these parts (Mito), have ribbed me mercilessly over my inability to keep my word count below Tolkien levels. Therefore, with time short and only 2 days between game-weeks 13 and 14, time, both yours and mine is precious. I shall endeavour to embrace brevity; no recounting my DIY mishaps, no shameless bragging of my latest ‘vacation’, no time for distractions. The first mid-week fixtures of the season will give us all a glimpse of things to come; three game-weeks, played over ten days. Normality briefly returns for GW15, then we’re officially into the festive fixtures, and it’s looking busier than ever this season. GW16...[Read More]
Barry and Paul’s Predictions GW14
Barry and Paul’s Predictions GW14 Welcome to Barry and Paul’s Predictions GW14. Hello and welcome to Barry and Paul’s GW14 Predictions. Games are going to come thick and fast now as we start heading into the hectic Christmas period but that just makes it more exciting right?! This past weekend threw up some surprising results most notably the Baggies grabbing a draw against Tottenham. This has lead to some differing points scored by all you entrants but it was certainly a tight one! LAST WEEKS WINNER! Mito was the winner in GW13! He scored 13 points just edging out Smash10 who came second with 11 points and a further four players were back on 10 points, better luck next week everyone! Congrats to Mito so please contact FF247 at contact@fantasyfootball247.co.uk to get your hands...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 13
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 13 Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 13. The game-week starts on Friday this week. In about 10 minutes in fact. That’s assuming you see this when it gets published at 6.50pm on Friday. If you are looking at this bewildered at 8pm on Friday having just logged on for your weekly RMT then what can we say! We have mentioned it on nearly every article this week. There will always be one though… Moyes and his disappointing XI are in search of a win, hoping the 3 points will give 999 operators a day off when they tangle with Leicester at the Olympic Stadium. Saturday brings us six fixtures. Palace welcomes Stoke, United crushes Brighton and Toon look to get back on the right path when Richarlison and his mates visit St. Jame...[Read More]
FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team Gameweek 13
FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team Gameweek 13 Welcome to the FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team Gameweek 13. Oooooh Marcos Alonso. Oooooh Marcos Alonso. We knew he’d come good in the end. Patience is a virtue. Try, try, try again. Our Spanish superstar did us proud, rewarded our loyalty and faith with a goal, clean sheet and 2bps as Chelsea swept aside West Brom with ease to send Pulis back to the job centre. Alas, Alonso was our highest scorer of the week but was closely followed by Pascal Gross whose goal on Monday night was supplemented by 3bps. A nice finish to a week, which was average. Well, very slightly above average – we scored 61pts vs an average of 56, yet it was not quite enough for a green arrow. Our third red arrow in succession takes us down to 420,608. Goals from Richarlison a...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 13
Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 13 Welcome to Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 13. After the boredom the international break brings, here we are at the start of what is going to be a busy time for Premier League teams – and therefore FPL players alike – as the fixtures are crammed together in the run up to Christmas and New Year. First, of course, are the Champions League games that will see Spurs, Liverpool, Man City, Chelsea and Man United all playing – along with Arsenal and Everton in the Europa League – and so it may be wise to hold off on your purchase until you know the player you want is still fit. And not fainting or being in car crashes. Yes, I’m looking at you, Sergio. Anyway, it turns out Asmir Begovic is heavily into his FPL, believe it or not. It must be ...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 13
Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 13 2017/18 Welcome to Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 13. Well, here we go, dear managers — 13 — the unlucky-for-some gameweek is looming. I suppose that’s true for any given game-week; fortunes varied widely in the FPL world last weekend. The shockwaves of both Salah and Hazard’s braces touched almost all of our teams, a phenomena now known as the Spacey effect, except managers who actually owned these players certainly weren’t complaining. The important question is: who will reveal themselves as the next big scorer? I think the following 5 candidates, given their delicate ball control and ability to score frequently, all have a good chance… Riyad Mahrez vs West Ham (A) Now, this isn’t quite 2015–16 and the dazzling peak of Mahrez’s ca...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Fixture Analysis Gameweek 13
Fantasy Football Fixture Analysis Gameweek 13 Welcome to Fantasy Football Fixture Analysis Gameweek 13. Apologies up front, lads, ladies, folk. I’ve included City as my top pick this week. So it matters not if I write this article or if somebody else writes it, the boredom factor of being hit over the head with the blatantly obvious really isn’t the fault of the writer. And here’s the thing, we could go total fantasy hipster on you all and just leave them out of the article – but we’re trying to be respectable around here. And we shall give no safe harbour to hipsters of any kind. If you are reading this and think you might be a hipster yourself, ask yourself this question: does me saying that we don’t tolerate hipsters, fantasy or otherwise, offend you? If it does, you might be a hi...[Read More]
