Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 1 – Forwards Welcome to Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 1 – Forwards We’re doing things a little differently to kick off this season’s tips articles. It’s a new season and we have at least 14 decisions to be made before the season opener on August 11th. So, we have not one but three tips articles coming your way. First, we have the strikers, and I’ve left no stone unturned as I aim to give you a comprehensive overview. With favourable pricing across the midfield, it seems that the go-to 343 of latter years has once more diminished in popularity and in truth, becoming harder than ever to justify. But does that mean we should go with just two or hell, just a lone man upfront? To answer that question, I’ve broken down the forwards into two categories;...[Read More]

Promoted Teams Analysis – Burnley Welcome to Promoted Teams Analysis – Burnley Unlike Luton and similar to Sheffield United, most of us will know about Burnley so I won’t go into the history of the club but instead I will just go through their last visit to the Prem. A fair bit has changed at Turf Moor since we last saw The Clarets. In fact, forget about the Burnley we knew and loved as so much has changed that they are almost unrecognisable. No longer do we have the gruff but loveable Sean Dyche at the helm, they no longer play 4-4-2, they don’t just hoof the ball up and play Route One ball. The new man in the dugout has given a new lease of life to the players in Lancashire. Former Premier League stalwart, Vincent Kompany has moved over to England from his home country of Bel...[Read More]

Promoted Teams Analysis – Sheffield United Welcome to Promoted Teams Analysis – Sheffield United Unlike Luton, most of us will know about Sheffield United so I won’t go into the history of the club but instead I will just go through the events since their last visit to the Premier League. Things have changed – but not everything. One thing that has changed is the man in the dugout. The last time The Blades were in the top-flight Chris Wilder was in charge of the team but since then Paul Heckingbottom has taken over the helm on a permanent basis. Heckingbottom was made interim manager before United were relegated back in 2019 but was not given the job permanently. The job was given to Slaviša Jokanović instead but he did not succed with Heckingbottom being given a proper shot at...[Read More]

Promoted Teams Analysis – Luton Welcome to Promoted Teams Analysis – Luton Here we go! Another season and another article about a new team. I love doing these articles, and to be perfectly honest, they are the ones I enjoy doing the most during the season. Not that I don’t like Tips, Captain Picks or anything else but I find this type of article helps me get into the fantasy mood and also gives me the chance to learn about new players coming into the league. Luton are an unknown quantity to the majority of us, so I thought I’d give you some history and background. I do love my history… after all I am a history teacher! Whilst doing my research I discovered Luton Town were created amidst some secrecy and fighting… love a bit of drama! The secretly formed “Luton Town” club were t...[Read More]

FF247 FPL Pre-Season Hub 2023-24 Welcome to FF247 FPL Pre-Season Hub 2023-24 Now that we are at the end of June (I know, right?), we will have to turn our attention to what our Premier League clubs have up their sleeves in terms of pre-season preparations for the forthcoming 2023-24 Premier League season. Most clubs return for initial health checks with training following around the 5th – 8th of July mark with additional time off given for those playing late into the final international break and even longer for those at the UEFA Under-21 tournament. Pre-season friendlies themselves, begin around the 10th – 12th July. We have listed below a run-down of the fixtures arranged at the time of publication which will be updated with additional fixtures when announced. As in previous ...[Read More]
