FPL Team Of The Week GW2 – Best XI For Gameweek 2
FPL Team Of The Week GW2 – Best XI For Gameweek 2 Who is our FPL expert choosing in his Gameweek 2 Team of the Week? Join fantasy football guru Ben Dinnery as he picks the best squad for this weekend… Overall, squad values are already beginning to creep up, so I’m looking to capitalise on the shift to maximise my chances of a significant return. At £101.1m, my squad this week may cost a lot, but it’s worth every penny. Thank me later… Goalkeeper Nick Pope (£5.0m) – (3.4 Predicted Points) I am going against the prediction models and stating my belief that Newcastle will perform well on the south coast. Looking at how the team played throughout the second half of last season and the win over Nottingham Forest, I believe most underestimate just how good the Black...[Read More]
FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 1
FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 1 Welcome back! We go again, etc. As per last season Arsenal get us under way with the Friday night game. With so many Jesus owners let’s just hope they make a better fist of this one than they did the Brentford game last season. Vieira’s tenacious Palace are the hosts, what could possibly go wrong here… Onto Saturday and we have 6 games beginning with newly promoted Fulham welcoming Salah and co. in the early game. What could possibly go wrong here… We then have Jeff back in the studio at 3pm for 4 games as Bournemouth host Villa, Wolves go to Leeds, The Saudis welcome Robin Hood (what could possibly go wrong there…) and Saints go to Spurs. The late game is the Frank Lampard Derby. We then have 3 games on Sunday with a pair at 2pm...[Read More]
FF247 Site Team & Predicted Line Ups Gameweek 1
FF247 Site Team & Predicted Line Ups Gameweek 1 Welcome to FF247 Site Team & Predicted Line Ups Gameweek 1 Our 2021/22 Overall Rank and Recent History A season which was affected by weather postponements, Covid postponements and GP not correctly placing the TC Chip on Salah, ended with our Site Team achieving a sub-100K rank (usually a very respectable target all things considered) placing at 83,426 overall. In our eight seasons of playing, this is our 5th best – or fourth worst depending on how you view your glass – and whilst there is obvious room for improvement, we approach the new season with renewed vigour and a self-set target of beating our previous best ever and getting into that top 5,000. “Aim for the stars and you might reach the moon” or howev...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek GW1
Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek GW1 Welcome to Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek GW1 We appreciate that different people will be in different stages of creating their GW1 team right now. Some, let’s call them Camp One, will have been at this for weeks already and so will probably look at this article and say / shout manically ‘YEAH I KNOW!’. Camp Two folk will be more relaxed amd may have an idea of a team on the go and so will look at this and say ‘nice one, that’s really helpful, thank you’. Some will still be in Camp Three and won’t even have looked at a team yet and so will say ‘perfect, just what I needed’. Whichever ‘Camp’ you are in there will be something here for you. It’s an important article and so we carefully ...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 1
Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 1 Welcome to Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 1 Once more unto the breach dear friends, once more …. The first Captains Article of the new season and it’s a beauty. We have five superb picks which might make you think that it isn’t all ‘plain Salahing’. Admittedly Salah is up first (but that’s only because the teacher’s pet Rosco got into the article editing suite first) so please read right to the end because even if you are set on Mo, there might also be something which could sway you to (or from) owning the other four picks if you happen to be swithering right now. The correct answer for captaincy is of course Erling Haaland which might lead you to work out who wrote this intro …. Rosco –...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Fixtures Gameweek GW1 2022/23
Fantasy Football Fixtures Gameweek GW1 Centre Forwards are back in fashion then? I should really begin with a bit of an apology, although in essence I’m not really apologising at all. I’ve sort of disappeared over the summer, almost to the point of invisibility, but with dam good reason! I swore to myself that finally, for once, after 14 summer’s of promising myself I would but never actually doing so I would finally have an actual break from all this malarkey. And so I did. So what have I done woth my spare time? Well, for starters I’ve had more holiday’s than Judith Chalmers (use Google youngsters) and I haven’t finished on that front yet. I’ve filled my usual ‘site time’ with real downtime: I watched the cricket. I’ve read 6 bo...[Read More]

Promoted Teams analysis – Fulham
Promoted Teams analysis – Fulham In the final part of our trilogy on the newly promoted teams, we turn our attention to the winners of last season’s Championship: Fulham. To call them ‘winners’ doesn’t do them justice – the way in which they triumphed was stunning. They were simply head and shoulders – and then some – above their rivals and were unrivalled in nearly every department. They boasted the best attacking record in the league – 106 goals, 27 wins, 99 big chances, 16 shots a game, three 7-0 victories…the list goes on and on. They were good – very good! London’s oldest professional club, Fulham first played in the Premier League in the 2001/02 season having been away from the top flight since 1968. Since the ea...[Read More]

Promoted Teams analysis – Nottingham Forest
Promoted Teams analysis – Nottingham Forest Welcome to the second part of our look at the promoted teams for the coming season. Following Bournemouth, the only way is north really, so let’s head to Robin Hood country. Nottingham Forest (or Notts Forest) are back in the Premier League after 23 years away. The last time they played a PL match The Backstreet Boys were top of the charts (with ‘I Want It That Way’, fact fans). Harking back even further (pre-Premier League), they remain one of only two UK clubs (the other being Liverpool) to win the European Cup twice in a row (1979 & 1980). Their nicknames include ‘The Garibaldi’, ‘The Reds’ and ‘The Tricky Trees’. They ply their trade at the City Ground in front of a maximum crow...[Read More]
Promoted Teams analysis – Bournemouth
Promoted Teams analysis – Bournemouth Another season beckons, and with that comes a trio of new clubs to ride the storm. They have reached this hallowed league through grit, determination, and goals galore. Realistically, one of them (or all of them?!) will probably return to the Championship once GW38 has been played. As part of our build-up to another thrilling season, let’s look at each promoted club in turn and see what fantasy gems we can unearth. Let’s begin at the top of the pile, alphabetically speaking, with AFC Bournemouth. Having finished second in the 2021/22 Sky Bet Championship season they gained automatic promotion back to the Premier League, after two seasons away. The Vitality Stadium (AKA Dean Court) is their home ground which also happens to be the PL&#...[Read More]
FF247 FPL Pre Season Hub 2022/23
FF247 FPL Pre Season Hub 2022/23 Welcome to FF247 FPL Pre Season Hub 2022/23 In this season of a first ever winter World Cup, and hence an early start to the domestic football calendars across the European Continent, you could be forgiven for saying …. “What, Pre Season games? Already?” Last season only ‘ended’ 35 days ago domestically with the Champions League final in Paris. Still, Liverpool will be back in action a week on Tuesday against Manchester United in a friendly. In Thailand. When you factor in that most players then had to go represent their country in World Cup, African Nations Cup or Nations League matches, then there truly is no break these days. More FPL rotation than ever before, anyone? – that’s before you consider we now have 5 subs per team per game now. Ha! But we at F...[Read More]
