Fantasy Football Tips & Captain Picks Gameweek 38
Fantasy Football Tips & Captain Picks Gameweek 38 Welcome to Fantasy Football Tips & Captain Picks Gameweek 38. Many people have said that fantasy football is a cruel mistress and the past gameweek was the absolute epitome of that, with triple captain and bench boost chips – along with hits aplenty – all seemingly going to waste as some of the favourites either didn’t show up or did absolutely nothing when they were on the pitch. Or, in the case of the most transferred-in midfielder, Raheem Sterling, both. So, here we go then – the final hurrah as we cling on to the hope of finishing the season roughly where we wanted or just thinking “screw it” and try to look as calm and collected as possible as that idiot from Accounts managed to win it in their very first season. This week is a...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Fixture Analysis Gameweek 38
Fantasy Football Fixture Analysis Gameweek 38 Welcome to Fantasy Football Fixture Analysis Gameweek 38. The usual purpose of this article is to try and give a heads up as to which teams may be worth jumping on and which ones may be worth avoiding in the weeks ahead. The obvious problem this week is that there are no longer any ‘weeks ahead’! We are at the final hurdle. As such we could have been forgiven for simply saying “what’s the point” and leaving it at that but that’s not our style. In for a penny, in for a pound and all that, we’ve decided to give you a quick rundown on all 10 remaining fixtures as we see them. But in all honesty that’s not the real point of the article. The real point is to say thanks to all those who have written a F...[Read More]
Barry and Paul’s Predictions GW38
Barry and Paul’s Predictions GW38 Welcome to Barry and Paul’s Predictions GW38. We’re in the middle of the DGW from hell, well I am, and after reading the boards in recent days it appears I am not alone. GW38 brings the season to a close; it feels like a merciful end at present! With a fixture still to play there will be no results posted in this article, instead we’ll post an end of season article next week when we’ll have the GW37 and 38 winners and of course announce the overall league winner! The Overall League Table As we stood after GW36… The rules are few; 1 entry per person, and all entries must be submitted prior to the first game of the game-week. Kick-off this week comes on Sunday at 15.00. Once all the games have been played, we’ll count up the scores and the winner...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 37
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 37 Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Gameweek 37. Another Double Game-week you say? We’ll have some of that! Let’s just hope it’s better than the last one… This one begins on Friday night and goes all the way through until next Thursday. And just for housekeeping purposes you need to be on the ball a bit after that as GW38 begins less than two and a half days later on Sunday afternoon. ‘Live Match Chat’ won’t go all the way through to Thursday though, we shall be interrupting it on about Monday with the first of our usual flow of articles to get you ready for that final day push. GW37 begins with the first of two games for both Brighton and Man United on Friday night. Saturday then takes it’s usu...[Read More]
FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW37
FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW37 Welcome to the FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW37. No sooner had we made giant strides into the top 100k after a run of 9 successive rises, our world and ranking came crashing back down. We scored 42, net 38 – below average and we slumped down to 87k. We’re not massively surprised as we all took a look at our team post Free Hit and cringed. Our only City player was not Sterling, or Jesus, or Sane. Nope we had Gundogan. And we didn’t even play him. Our best success was at the back with clean sheets from Dunk and our Burnley duo. Kane with a Monday night tap-in was our only goal of the week. Yep, it was that bad that even Captain Salah blanked. We move onto this week – the big double and hope our luck changes. Some decent City coverage wou...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 37
Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 37 Welcome to Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 37. DGW37 Tips And so it is upon us. It is the final double gameweek of the season and the biggest one as well. In reality this will be the week where you make your final dash to clinch that mini-league or perhaps break your personal best in the overall rankings. On the chip front if you have three left then you’re doing it wrong! You will lose one. We only have two weeks left and the smart FPL players will either be playing their Triple Captain Chip (See James’ brilliant summary of the choices in his Captain’s Article) or you will have your Bench Boost in hand with the chance to have up to fifteen players playing twice – that’s 30 ‘shots’ at point scoring – and how d...[Read More]
Barry and Paul’s Predictions GW37
Barry and Paul’s Predictions GW37 Welcome to Barry and Paul’s Predictions GW37. GW36 started badly for FPL managers and B&P predictors alike. Liverpool couldn’t manage to break down the not-so-mighty Stoke, and all those who had backed Salah to score (first) collectively moaned in unison. The most notable result of the game-week was Palace putting 5 past Leicester without reply. Literally nobody predicted that. I’m pretty sure nobody reads these intro’s but if you do, let me know what sort of things you would like more of next season, as lets face it, you probably all know the scores of the previous game-week without my blathering! GW36 RESULT This week’s big winner was my fellow Chuckle Brother Matt. I can’t even shout fix as the Boss-man (Init) did the number crunching on this...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Fixture Analysis Gameweek 37
Fantasy Football Fixture Analysis Gameweek 37 Welcome to Fantasy Football Fixture Analysis Gameweek 37. One mans struggle in the real world. Saturday 19th May 2018 (One week post-FPL) Gordon perched on his stool and surveyed the array of options laid out on the breakfast bar in front of him. He just couldn’t decide what to have. His wife stuck her head around the door, she looked different somehow, he wasn’t sure how, just different. “Hurry up, you do this every Saturday, we need to be in car by 11.30”. Gordon checked his watch, 10.35, plenty of time. He went back to staring at the colourful array of boxes in front of him. The stupid thing was he’d made the decision about what to have days ago, but when he’d reached for the box of Cornflakes he found there wasn’t enough left for a bowl; so...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 37
Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 37 2017/18 Welcome to Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 37. It’s the Triple Captain Kane gameweek. Why are you here? It’s obvious. This is GW37 we’re talking about, by the way, not GW22: that was definitely a different DGW scenario. I recall Kane going into that one with two consecutive hat-tricks. Not exactly Triple Captain material, really, was it… this time, with just 2 (actually FPL-accredited) goals in his last 7 appearances, he’ll surely meet expectations. I think that’s how this works? More to come regarding Harry soon. For now, though, please muster the strength to read this and give your penultimate push for work-league glory or, perhaps most importantly, pride. Harry Claim vs WBA (A) and Newcastle (H) I won’t mess around. I’ll captain...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 36
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 36 Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Gameweek 36. Back to normality this week – 10 fixtures spread over three days, everyone plays just the once, no doubles, no blanks, probably a few wildcards. It’s Liverpool who again kick off our game-week as they host relegation bound Stoke. It’s a must win for the Potters if they are to have any realistic chance of staying up….Crouchie time? Five 3pm kick offs and it’s all about the relegation battle as Brighton go to Burnley, Palace host Leicester, Huddersfield welcome Everton, West Brom travel to Newcastle and Bournemouth can inflict further trouble on fellow south coasters Southampton. The evening sees Swansea looking for a much needed three points as Chelsea come to town. Sunday is Manc today. First u...[Read More]
FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW36
FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW36 Welcome to the FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW36. It takes a lot for us to get excited and in fairness our performance this season hasn’t juiced us up on many occasions. However it seems that patience is indeed our virtue after a 72pt week in GW36. This gave our Free Hit team a weekly ranking of 23,903 and we have risen 50k places from 113,353 to a season’s best (by far) of 63,265. Forgive us for ‘boasting’, as such, but this is our 9th green arrow in a row. Happy days! Our performance this week was consistent throughout the team with only Klavan, Zaha, Mane and Wood failing to contribute anything worthwhile. Clean sheets from Baines and Tomkins added to goal-scoring performances from Sterling, Salah, Lacazette and Jesus along with bonu...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 36
Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 36 Welcome to Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 36. Well, how was it for you then? I am, of course, talking about fantasy football – what else?! – and, in particular, Gameweek 35, where lots of managers no doubt looked in horror at their team as they realised they had three players starting. Others who had picked the right personnel within their free hit chip had contrasting emotions however! With so few teams playing – and so some of the season’s favourites like Kane, De Gea, Azpilicueta, Eriksen and Vardy not starting – it gave a good chance to mix things up a bit with the free hit chip, with players like Lacazette, both of Man City’s Silvas and even Livermore bringing the points in. Just 0.1 per cent of managers have Livermore, by the way, and honestly, would...[Read More]
