Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 16
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 16 Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 16. Last week the author of this short article waxed lyrical about the return of ‘The Lord’ and Big Sam. Unfortunately we have no returning greats this week but we doubt you could top those two numpties anyway. Chelsea, yet again, kick off our game-week at lunchtime on Saturday as they visit a West Ham side who have not been revitalised by their new manager. Hardly surprising as it is David Moyes. 3pm on Saturday afternoon brings us five more games. None of which are likely to set pulses racing. Marco ‘you’re not as good as Big Sam’ Silva brings his Watford side to Burnley. Crystal Palace who are unbeaten in their last four at home welcome Bournemouth. Newbies Huddersfield & Brighton face ...[Read More]
FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team Gameweek 16
FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team Gameweek 16 Welcome to the FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team Gameweek 16. 61pts. A green arrow. Our highest overall rank (151,974) of the season since GW1. On the whole we’re pretty happy and there’s nothing we can really moan about but given who’s writing this week’s intro we’ll find something to moan about! While 61pts was quite a decent score it’s worth noting that our captain, Eden Hazard, scored 30 of those points all on his own. Although, after last week’s debacle he had some making up to do! The only other players to contribute any meaningful points were Simpson, Salah & Morata. The rest are in the dog house. Before we move on we should highlight our bench. Let’s just say it’s a bloody good thing that none of them were required this week as ...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 16
Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 16 Welcome to Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 16. This is the first Tips article by my good self in some months due to me hoodwinking the FF247 lot into thinking that I’ve been busy this autumn! I jest, this is the first proper chance I’ve had to sit and focus solely on fantasy matters for any reasonable amount of time. And right in time for the busy Christmas period. Stars align I guess. And why do I have to follow Bry’s article? I don’t know how to put this across but that’s like someone really poor following someone really brilliant (See? I can’t even example right!) Goalkeepers Thibaut Courtois and David de Gea are the premium picks and unsurprisingly are the two highest point-scoring goalkeepers in the game, although the Spaniard has an almost 20 point le...[Read More]
Barry and Paul’s Predictions GW16
Barry and Paul’s Predictions GW16 Welcome to Barry and Paul’s Predictions GW16. Normal service resumed in GW15 with no majorly surprising results. In terms of the scores, Liverpool’s emphatic 1-5 win away to Brighton was the standout victory, Man City scraped a 2-1 over West Ham with many predicting a landslide victory that never came. Dwight Gayle popped up with the first goal of the GW in Newcastle’s 3-1 defeat to Chelsea, proving once again that predicting the first scorer of the GW is actually quite tricky! LAST WEEKS WINNERS! Top spot for the week was shared by MBD, DenPerryDidit and Coys9 with 14pts, everyone’s favourite cock Inittowinit took second place with 13pts, all the more impressive given that he predicted Man City to put 14 past West Ham! Bry and Matt (fix I here...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 16
Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 16 2017/18 Welcome to Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 16. GW15 saw explosive returns for an old Captain Tips favourite Philippe Coutinho. His goal and 3 assists playing an integral part in Liverpool’s demolition of Brighton. Not that he didn’t get any help though, Mo Salah chipped in with an assist of his own, and Roberto Firmino continued to bemuse non-owners with 2 goals in what has proved to be a frustratingly unpredictable campaign. Perhaps the biggest story of the past two gameweeks has been Jesse Lingard’s 3 goals and 3 assists, proving to be an unexpected bargain basement route into Man Utd and showing form worthy of captaincy. Well, steady on. For now. The most likely source of points, and a captaincy poster boy, did...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Fixture Analysis Gameweek 16
Fantasy Football Fixture Analysis Gameweek 16 Welcome to Fantasy Football Fixture Analysis Gameweek 16. And sort of GW17 too. And sort of GW18 also! The reason we say this is because there is another midweek feast of games coming up straight after GW16. We may only just be into December but the silly season is clearly in full swing already. And to prove it here is your fun fact of the day: between GW16 beginning this Saturday and GW22 ending on the 3rd of January there are 26 calendar days. On 17 of those there is a Premier League game occuring. There are only 9 days without one. Rotation, anyone? Just as a bit of housekeeping, before we get into the nuts and bolts of the article itself, we will have your usual full raft of articles this week prior to GW16 kicking off on Saturday – F...[Read More]
FF247 #UCLFantasy Captain Picks Matchday 6
FF247 #UCLFantasy Captain Picks Matchday 6 The midweek matches mark the final chance for #UCLFantasy managers to claw back deficits/consolidate leads before the competition breaks till mid-February. Here are The Stats Zone’s seven captaincy candidates to consider ahead of Matchday 6: The code to join the FF247 mini-league is 31736NF8 The code to join the TSZ mini-league is 92434WJW THE BIG THREE Neymar — PSG — Forward — €11.3m — Bayern Munich (away – Tuesday) Only a Bayern win by four or more goals on Tuesday evening would deprive Paris Saint-Germain of top spot in Group B – but then Unai Emery and Les Parisiens have spectacularly blown such an advantage before. PSG will surely then field a near-full strength team in midweek, with leading Ligue I goalscorer Edinson Cavani having been...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 15
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 15 Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 15. FPL seems like we’re back to some sort of normality. No we’re not talking rotation worries or half your bench coming into play – or not if you own Coutinho or Sane. No, Sir, no. This week we welcome back two of our favourite characters. The Lord has risen and against the odds appears to be seen first at The Hawthorns. Yes, Pardew is back! We will again get to witness the flippant pressers and the self-obsessed post-match interviews. Now if that wasn’t enough excitement as we get into the Advent season then we have been bestowed another gift. It not be gold. Nor frankincense. Not even myrrh. It is of course Mr Wrigley himself. Big Sam! It’s all too much. The dancing duo back on our screens....[Read More]
FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team Gameweek 15
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]
