Fantasy Football 247 Site Team News Gameweek 33 The rollercoaster ride continues Welcome to FF247 Site Team GW33 Our yo-yo season continues as another bad week sees us with our second red arrow on the bounce. 50 points was sadly 6 below the average and we slipped from 1337 to 3145. At such a high overall rank these frequent highs and lows seem to come with the territory, but rather than bring us down, the red arrows only serve to make the green arrows more pleasing. With Foden failing to make it off the City bench, we were reliant on Zabarnyi off our bench, sadly his 1-point return was not the only one in our back line with both Virgil and Konsa matching the Cherries centre half. Petrovic, Muniz and Solanke didn’t do much better with 2-a-piece. Thankfully our midfield trio all did relative...[Read More]
Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW33 Welcome to Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW33 We have 3 weeks’ worth of results this week so I’ll not hang around yacking and get straight to it! GW30 A relatively high-scoring game with almost everyone getting the week’s FGS correct. Mfon3667 and SomHi3i duked it out for third place with 18pts whilst Shinespark looked on in amusement from their loft perch of second with 19pts. However laughing all the way to the GW30 title was asif888 who takes top-spot with a clean 20pts. Nice. GW31 In contrast to GW30, GW31 was a low-scoring affair. Sarri-ball, AJW, Ko NAY, Shinespark, sweetbluetoffee, Loud Atlas, bundeena bunnies, DMC shared third with 8pts, going one better for second it was Albox, PM, SomH3i, Leprechaun ...[Read More]
We have another one for you! This time its my good friend Odddane who gives us the low-down on how his season and in particular his recent weeks have played out! Enjoy! Over to you OD! The mysteries of OddDane’s inner workings, to which no one has an explanation. This piece, I feel, should come with a disclaimer. Kids don’t try this at home or don’t drink and transfer, something to that effect… My season this year has been quite, let’s say subpar (Narrator; the word he is looking for is appalling), which is partly self-inflicted (we’ll get to that) but also… *breathe* counts to ten *exhale* let’s call it variance… Last season was a bit off, however, this season has seen me doing not a few, but at least a handful of weeks with a 6,000,000 game week rank -or worse- (a good chunk of GWRs at ~...[Read More]
Inside The Mind Of An FPL Player Gameweek 33 Part 1 With FPL managers seemingly split into two camps at present, we thought we’d take this opportunity to see how a couple of our contributors are fairing. First off, what are these camps I speak of? Well, this may not apply to everyone, but for the most part, there seems to be two popular approaches at present: 1. FH29 build for DGW34, WC35, BB DGW37 OR 2. Built for 29, WC30/31, FH34 BB DGW37 As I said, this won’t be every manager’s approach, and whilst there may be slight tweaks on the above (i.e. BB DGW34), the above two approaches seem the most popular. So first off we have Matt. Matt went with option 2. How is he doing? I’ll let him tell you all about it. Sit back, grab your hot or cold beverage of choice and read on! Matt’s GW32 r...[Read More]

Fantasy Football 247 Site Team Gameweek 32 Mo’ than one way to skin a cat Welcome to FF247 Site Team Gameweek 32 Going for the league and home to Sheffield United in a plum game to halve the goal difference at least? If there was ever an obvious captaincy choice, Mo Salah was IT. Heck! We’d have gone Triple Captain had we still had it. Alas, rubbish and off before 60 mins in the huff. Gotta love it. Luckily for us (we are quite lucky this season), we had the young team to call upon – Phil Foden & Cole Palmer – weighing in with 20 points EACH. Little legends. England for the Euros etc etc…. William Saliba and Illia Zabarnyi with 7 points each and that’s all she wrote. We scored 63 points this gameweek and a healthy 17 points above the average but we ...[Read More]
Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW32 Welcome to Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW32 It’s yet another quick turnaround ahead of GW32 and we still haven’t located Jamesimmo from that gutter. So for now just get your next round in and we shall endeavour to update you next week with results and overall tables etc. 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 ...[Read More]
FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 31 Welcome to FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 31 There’s games all week, it’s like Christmas again!

Fantasy Football 247 Site Team News Gameweek 31 No Salah, no Son, no problem Welcome to FF247 Site Team GW31 I wasn’t going to write about which player scored us what points this week. However, somebody else beat me to the article so here it is: It was heaven and hell at the back this week – Konsa did the heavy lifting with a mighty 15 points but Petrovic, VVD and Zabarnyi (whooo?!) all came up with just another 5 between them. Saliba smiled on from the bench with 7 of his own. Captain Palmer was our star man with 30, with Bowen pulling in 10. Foden and Saka had a literal stalemate with just the 3 each. Up top Solanke got us his now customary goal for 7, but Haaland and Watkins stayed quiet with 2 & 1 respectively. We smashed the average of 47 with 76 of our own. This meant a gr...[Read More]
Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW31 Welcome to Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW31 It’s a quick turnaround this week so no results (we think / just assume that James is probably in a gutter somewhere after a long bank holiday weekend!). Get posting… 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.

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...[Read More]
FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 30 Welcome to FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 30 10 games. AKA a proper GW. Not 4. AKA one that you could simply add to another GW to make a DGW. Anyway… GW30 lasts just the two days, with Saturday doing the heavy lifting, to the tune of 8 games. Newcastle and West Ham kick us off at 12.30pm. We then have five at 3pm with Bournemouth v Everton, Chelsea v Burnley, Forest v Palace, Sheffield Utd v Fulham and Spurs v Luton. Villa and Wolves go at 5.30pm before Brentford v Man Utd at 8pm. That just leaves the two on Sunday with Liverpool v Brighton at 2pm and then the latest title decider* between Man City & Arsenal at 4.30pm. *it isn’t – Sky just seem to bill every other game as one these days!

Fantasy Football 247 Site Team Gameweek 30 Free sHit Welcome to FF247 Site Team Gameweek 30 As we come to the end of an international break – when we found out that England won’t win the Euros with that defence, where Endrick is the only 17-year-old to do anything (ever), where Ukraine, Poland (sorry Wales) and Georgia book their spots for the summer and Scotland would be as well to hand theirs back – we at last have some FPL to get stuck back into. We begin by reviewing the previous week and Gameweek 29, which we kind of had wiped from the memory. Well …. we were above the average. By just three points, and that average was 12 (T W E L V E ). So unsurprisingly it was a red arrow leading into Gameweek 30. We drop 482 places to 2692 overall. It’s our second con...[Read More]
