FPL Tips GW1 Welcome to FPL Tips GW1 We’re back with part 2 of our GW1 ‘Tips’ article. This time we have GP, Kop and Stone Frog on duty to share their current GW1 drafts. Some familiar picks and some a little different. As you will see, there are plenty of ways to approach this season, hopefully this will make for a more exciting 24/25 season! Enjoy! The Gallant Pioneers – GP Goalkeepers Having given the goalkeepers the same amount of thought as most others, I’m still not sure if I am on the ones I will end up with come Friday’s deadline. One thing I know is that I will only be spending £8.5m on the pair as I require the cash elsewhere – that’s a given. Flekken & Valdimarsson could end up being Henderson & Matthews (assuming Johnstone is confirmed away). I ...[Read More]

FPL Tips GW1 Welcome to FPL Tips GW1 We’re kicking off the first of our regular weekly articles with a slight variation on the usual tips format. Essentially, this is my first FPL draft, created last night for you to all pull apart/copy/laugh at. Take your pick. My fellow contributors can attest to this being created the night before the Liverpool vs Sevilla match (before I get accused of jumping on the band waggon!), it was nice to see returns for one of my ‘differentials’, how long a certain Diogo stays a differential remains to be seen! We’re hopefully going to get a few more drafts from my fellow contrinbutors over the following days, along with our first captain’s article and of course the Site Team. It sure feels good to be back! Rosco FPL draft 1 When t...[Read More]

Promoted Teams Analysis – Leicester City Welcome to Promoted Teams Analysis – Leicester City The final promoted side we are looking at are the former Cinderella story, Leicester City. They were trotting towards the Championship title last season and then seemed to lose their way a bit. They made it a lot tougher than it needed to be. They won 13 of their first 14 games and were sitting pretty. They slipped to third place by the end of February and were then fighting for the top spot, only winning the title by a single point. They had 97 points, scored 89 goals, conceded 41 and kept 15 clean sheets. Everything was looking nice and easy for their return, we knew who the players were, we knew the way they played, and most were predicting they would stay up easily. Alas that has all chan...[Read More]

Promoted Teams Analysis – Southampton Welcome to Promoted Teams Analysis – Southampton The Saints didn’t have a massive fall from grace having risen back to the glory of the Premier League at the first time of asking. They did get stopped at the pearly gates for St Peter to check his guest list though, but Southampton was on the list with Leeds staying out. We will be looking at a different face in the dugout since last time they were in the Premier League as Hasenhuttl was sacked, Nathan Jones only last three months and Ruben Selles was only good enough for a caretaker job. Russell Martin was given the full time position before the start of last season and it worked massively. He came in and changed their style of play which proved the difference in the end. Formation – 5-3-2 ...[Read More]

Promoted Teams Analysis – Ipswich Town Welcome to Promoted Teams Analysis – Ipswich Town I am delighted to see Ipswich in the top-flight for the first time since 2002. It has been a long two decades for a team with a brilliant nickname, “The Tractor Boys”. My country boy heart is loving these farmers. However, does this now make the Premier League the Farmers’ League? It may only be classed as a town, but they hold a claim to being one of the oldest towns in England so that’s cool! Anyone know how many Towns have played in the Premier League and who they are? Hint… I’m writing about one of them and another played only last year! Ipswich were one of the founders of the Premier League, having been in the inaugural 1992/93 season, so it is really great to see them back. They have ...[Read More]
