Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 27 2017/18 Welcome to Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 27. I have two comments to make on Gameweek 26: thank God I captained Salah, and if any of you scored less than one point across your entire backline, please come forward. I will leave it at that. As a late (at least) second-choice call-up to write this article, it promises mediocrity. I say late, I have had plenty of time to write this up; I even got an extension. The mediocrity is not for want of trying though: Salah is so consistent and Manchester City’s fixtures seem to be constantly so good, that any other player I thrust above the parapet will inevitably be shot down by a wave of eagle-eyed FPL experts. How frightening. After my first article, ‘Gameweek 25 Fixtures’, I was lambasted ...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Fixture Analysis Gameweek 27
Fantasy Football Fixture Analysis Gameweek 27 Welcome to Fantasy Football Fixture Analysis Gameweek 27. Sometimes we do things in life because we feel obliged to. Christenings are a good example. I’ve never attended a Christening and thought ‘wow that was a great christening’. You know how it is though, your mate Dave from work invited you and Dave is a sound bloke, you don’t want to offend anyone, so you go. Once you’re there you never find yourself thinking ‘you know what, this is actually pretty good’, that never happens. So you sit there, play the part. Dave’s happy you went, the Mrs thinks Dave’s wife is canny so she’s alright, but you just want it to be over. That’s how I currently feel about FPL. Last game-week was brutal, the Marcos Alonso injury tipped me over the edge, just as I ...[Read More]
Barry and Paul’s Predictions GW27
Barry and Paul’s Predictions GW27 Welcome to Barry and Paul’s Predictions GW27. This week it was a relatively low scoring affair here at B&P’s predictions. Chelsea getting spanked for the second week in a row didn’t help, and if you were looking to Brighton v West Ham and Bournemouth v Stoke for your predictable draws, you were clearly looking in the wrong place. Let hope normality returns to both FPL and B&P’s this coming game-week! LAST WEEKS WINNERS! All it took to win this week was 10pts, Init duly obliged and left Igy, Potty, Mito, Fieldy, Leprechaun and Bongo trailing in his wake with a 9pts. Great to have Potty back and straight into the weekly leaderboard this week! Thanks to everyone who entered, better luck next week everyone else! Weekly Leaderboard GW 27 Winner ...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 26
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 26 Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 26. And we are back already! We hope the midweek games treated you kindly but if not, don’t worry, we are straight into another GW so it can all be forgotten. And then probably all repeated again, just in case you forgot already! We begin with Burnley hoping that their bus is big enough to contain Man City’s juggernaut. It won’t be. We then have five 3pm games and all are much a muchness in terms of calling a winner with perhaps the exception of Man Utd hosting Huddersfield but try calling the others and you’ll be lucky to get 1 right. Saturday evening will surely see Theo stick one up Arsene as the Gunners pay tribute to one of their most prolific players of recent tim...[Read More]
FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team Gameweek 26
FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team Gameweek 26 Welcome to the FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team Gameweek 26. Well we scored 60pts and saw another green arrow, albeit a very small one. But in all honesty it feels like we are treading water a tad – the team looks ok on paper but is probably not dynamic enough to cut through the masses. King Capo Kun saved things late on with his goal to rescue us to an extent, while his mates Otamendi and Sterling also contributed with a clean sheet and two assists respectively. The surprise was Begovic’s clean sheet at Chelsea – the disappointment was Alonso who we seem to have no luck with. We own him, he does nothing, we sell him he explodes. Tosser. Salah does what Salah does. Firmino rewarded our faith and as for Christensen…..IR...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 26
Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 26 2017/18 Welcome to Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 26. Gameweek 25 provided inconspicuous captaincy returns for most as several candidates such as Firmino, Salah, Vardy and Aguero failed to break the 8 point barrier. Worse still was Kane, who left it to his teammates to get the goals; and Hazard who just left it to Bournemouth. Those FPL managers who like to surf the differential captain adrenaline rush will have been doing the conga well into the night, as Theo Walcott, Sam Clucas and Emre Can finally came through for them. The January transfer deadline may have muddied the waters somewhat ahead of this weekend, but there remain plenty of familiar options and I have turned to plucking some nuggets of wisdom from social media this week in ...[Read More]
Barry and Paul’s Predictions GW26
Barry and Paul’s Predictions GW26 Welcome to Barry and Paul’s Predictions GW26. Perhaps Arsenal were too preoccupied with their pursuit of Aubameyang in GW25, their 3-1 defeat to Swansea was a bad start for B&P predictors. Luckily Palace and West Ham stepped up to the plate with a much predicted 1-1- hurray! On to night 2, played out to backdrop of deadline day. Bournemouth shocked Chelsea and B&P predictors with a 0-3 win, Man City duly delivered on the result widely predicted in their 3-0 win and Stoke v Watford, Newcastle v Burnley and Southampton v Brighton all provided stable mediocrity many seen coming a mile off. LAST WEEKS WINNERS! Top spot this week is shared between Mamsi and Matt who scored an impressive 14pts. Just a point behind in 3rd place was Coyotes (13 pts)...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 25
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 25 Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 25. Lovely jubbly, another midweek game-week. There’s always something special about these. Whether it’s games under the lights or just that it breaks up the mundane working week we don’t know but either way they always feel special. We begin with 3 games on Tuesday with Swansea unashamedly prepping London busses for Arsenal, Moyes spitting feathers in an attempt to find 11 available players to face Palace and Huddersfield fearing the worst against Klopp’s juggernaut. And then we have a bumper Wednesday with 7 games, all done and dusted within a short few hours. Maybe it’s that finality that is so attractive, but then that may depend on on how it pans out for you....[Read More]
FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team Gameweek 25
FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team Gameweek 25 Welcome to the FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team Gameweek 25. A green arrow! Albeit a very small one. But after 4 straight red ones we shall take it. We rose a measly 4k in the rankings and now sit in 252,220th place. Hardly ideal but we will keep plugging away. We scored 55 last time out, 5 above the average. We were hoping for more of a rise given that we profited from that Kun hat-trick, if only we had captained him… and so said many. We instead captained Kane and rued his last minute sitter… and so said many. Our defence were the main culprits in us not hitting any real heights as they brought home just 7 points between the 4 of them. Despite at least 3 of them having fixtures in which you would have almost expected a clean sheet....[Read More]
Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 25
Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 25 Welcome to Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 25. Hello and welcome to your Tips article for Gameweek 25. This particular week falls midweek and will be played out across next coming Tuesday and Wednesday and I must admit, midweek FPL is one of my favourites. Whether it is the condensed gameweek of just two nights covering all your players or whether it is the rush of tension and panic regarding so much breaking team news at the same time or the fact that the evening games and I get peace to watch football from first kick to last, I don’t know. I just love it. Jurgen Klopp may not, of all the teams playing in the FA Cup this weekend, Liverpool are the only ones who play their Gameweek 25 fixture within 72 hours of their cup tie ending. This ironically is due t...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 25
Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 25 2017/18 Welcome to Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 25. GW24 was definitely a mixed bag for most people. I was very happy with how my team was going straight after the Christmas period getting green arrows and going into the top 60k but GW24 was like that feeling you get having to go back to work on a Monday or when you come home from the pub steaming only to be interrogated by the prison warden. Hopefully it wasn’t like this for everyone, especially those who were able to bring in a certain Argentinian who, let’s face it, scored possibly the easiest hattrick of his career! My other Chuckle Brother, Rosco tipped Sergio Aguero in last week’s Captain Picks even against his beloved Toon. (Even if he wants to sell his season ticket ?) Well look...[Read More]
Barry and Paul’s Predictions GW25
Barry and Paul’s Predictions GW25 Welcome to Barry and Paul’s Predictions GW25. GW24 started as many of you had predicted; a comfortable Chelsea win and a goal by Eden Hazard after just 3 minutes. It ended less predictably; a Liverpool defeat at the Liberty Stadium. Hats off to our very own Nostradamus Cookie for getting that one right! Arsenal showed us a glimpse of life without Alexis with a 4-1 win, high-flyer DenPerryDidIt coming so close to getting it spot-on with his 3-1 prediction. LAST WEEKS WINNERS! Top spot this week is shared between Albox and the aforementioned DenPerryDidIt with both finishing on an impressive 13pts. Just a point behind in joint 3rd place were Mito, Bry, Init, Matt and Smash10, so close guys! Thanks to everyone else who entered, better luck next week! Co...[Read More]
