Harry and Lloyd’s Predictions GW19
Harry and Lloyd’s Predictions GW19 Welcome to Harry and Lloyd’s Predictions GW19 Christmas itself may be over but FPL certainly aint. GW19 will be upon us on Sunday and so you need to get your H&L predictions in asap. THIS WEEK’S COMPETITION… scoring couldn’t be much simpler: • Correct Score —> 3 points; • Correct Result —> 1 point; and • Correct First Goalscorer of the Gameweek —> 5 points. To clarify, this is who you think will score the first goal of the entire Gameweek, not just in any given match that you choose to pick yourself! Points above are awarded on an ‘either / or’ basis, so you’ll either score 3 points for a Correct Score or just 1 point for a Correct Result, and these are never added together for a 4-point score. Tie-Breaker: in the even...[Read More]

FPL Tips GW17 to GW19 Welcome to FPL Tips GW17 to GW19 Christmas Craziness is upon us! Basically a match a day, four gameweeks over 16 days. I love this time of year for just watching football but it is a difficult time of year for FPL! FPL Managers have to deal with injuries popping up, rotation from the likes of Pep or just being too hungover to make the next deadline! We know you can use all the help you can get so we have combined some of the thoughts from OddDane, JamieMc and MattX. Our three not-so wise men! Will they lead you to glory by following a star or lead you to a steaming pile of donkey doo-doo? You can decide and let us know in GW20 when the dust settles! OddDane – Rearguarders Another week is upon us and it’s time to spin the wheel of scarce clean sheets to see if yo...[Read More]
FPL Captain Picks GW17
FPL Captain Picks GW17 Welcome to FPL Captain Picks GW17 The festive fixtures officially begin this weekend in GW17. In a period where self-restraint is often in short supply, it’s not just food, drink and overspending that we’ll get to overindulge in. Football is on the menu, lots of football. The games are heaped on with all the wild abandon of a Christmas dinner, 4 game weeks squeezed into just 16 days. Brilliant. For some FPL managers, this can prove to be a challenging time. Missed deadlines, drunken midnight 8pt hits. We’ve all been there. But this is no time to take your eyes off the prize. Get your game face on, and make sure you set some time aside to manage your team, the mince pies can wait. FPL has been fun in recent weeks, this is largely thanks to the demise...[Read More]
Harry and Lloyd’s Predictions GW17
Harry and Lloyd’s Predictions GW17 Welcome to Harry and Lloyd’s Predictions GW17 We’re kind of having to get used to some shock results this season! Teams are beating each other when you wouldn’t expect, the top 6 are dropping points and some shock names are upsetting the apple cart. Liverpool drew against Fulham after playing 70 minutes with 10 men, City lost (AGAIN) after a later Amad Diallo masterclass, Arsenal drew 0-0 against struggling Everton! Lots of shock results that saw a pretty low scoring week in H&L. Of the 43 entrants, only one got double digits so won with little worry, 2nd place was a 4 way tie though as Bundeena Bunnies,Sarri-ball, DMC and Loud Atlas all got 9 points. Claiming top spot this week though on 11 points was MBD! Many congratulation...[Read More]

Brighton and Palace go at 2pm, before Man City and Man Utd feature as the ‘main’ game at 4.30pm.

FF247 Site Team Gameweek 16
FF247 Site Team News Gameweek 16 TWO IN A ROW! Welcome to FF247 Site Team Gameweek 16 WE’VE FINALLY DONE IT! For the first time this season we have managed to get TWO green arrows in a row! 55 points which is 5 above the average of 50, a green arrow of 120k and up to 3,248,648. We had Salah as captain until Storm Darragh came along so a quick poll was taken and a swap from Mo to Watkins was made. This was yet again a massive, massive fail. Watkins returned a big dud of 2 points, doubled to 4 whilst Cole Palmer laughed in our faces with 18 points. When is the last time we even got a captaincy pick correct? We checked – GAMEWEEK 11 was the last time we captained our highest scorer. It hasn’t been great. Apart from Saliba and Bruno getting 9 points and a 4 from Ait-Nouri eve...[Read More]
FPL Captain Picks GW16
FPL Captain Picks GW16 Welcome to FPL Captain Picks GW16 For a while there it seemed like our weekly Captain article had become all but redundant. FPL had become a little dull, captain Haaland come rain or shine, it was difficult to make gains. Oh, how things can change so quickly. Haaland has been ticking along, but ticking along won’t cut it when you cost £15m+ (he’s now dropped to £14.9m), and as managers sold him in their droves, they were forced to look elsewhere for their precious captain’s armband. So here we are, we have 3 powerful contenders in Saka, Palmer and Salah for this week’s captaincy (and some bloke who plays up top for Man City). Salah has himself been pushing his claim for the ‘perma-captain’ mantle with 10/14 double-digit returns tha...[Read More]

GW13 – It was nice and simple in GW13 with 3 clear podium spots. sweetbluetoffee Like all our winners correctly guessed the FGS, this resulted in a 13pt return and enough for third place. Our very own Jamie Mc went one better with 14pts in second, but out in front with a solid 15pts and this week’s winner, we have PM! GW14 – Things were not so clear cut in GW14, where we had Albox, Tekno-kun, WhoIsRonaldo, mahelmy, fotisbaxes, MBD and RafflesHotspur all finishing with 7pts in third. Next up, with 8pts, we had Silvers and Bundeena bunnies in second. Way out in front with 10pts we have SomH3i who takes t...[Read More]

FF247 Site Team News GW15
FF247 Site Team News GW15 Regrets, we’ve had a few Welcome to FF247 Site Team GW15 We are in a rush this week, as we all are. Turns out we are in more of a rush than we actually thought we were, but we shall come onto that later. As for GW14, we only have an interim score at this point in time, that being 79. It looks like Kerkez will bring home another 2, so let’s call it at 81. As for rank, we expect that will bring a green arrow, as our 59 points as of last night had bumped us up about 750k spots. With a few different decisions this week, and the luxury of hindsight, it could have been a whole lot better. Palmer won our internal Captain Poll by a narrow margin of 3 to 2 over Salah. As it was they got us 32, reversed it could have been 43. We left Mykolenko on the bench for a...[Read More]
