FPL Captain Picks GW13
FPL Captain Picks GW13 Welcome to FPL Captain Picks GW13 Salah’s on fire, Haaland’s owners are terrified!!! (to the tune of the new football anthem Freed from Desire). Congratulations to those managers who had the foresight to include both Salah and Haaland in your team from the start of the season. A massive congratulations to those managers who had the bravery to transfer out the short-circuiting Robot for the Egyptian King. Commiserations to those managers (me, Jamie, included) who have persevered with Haaland and hoped that Salah would not continue his multi weeks point hauls. With Liverpool playing Manchester City this weekend then there is no doubt that those managers who own Salah will be keeping the captain’s armband on him and those managers who own Haaland keeping the captain’s a...[Read More]

Fantasy Football Live Match Chat GW12 Fantasy Football Live Match Chat GW12 And we are back, again. With England restored to their rightful position in the UEFA Nations League, we can all breathe a huge sigh of relief, and agree that Herr Tuchel is having an outstanding influence on the team already. Just need to get him to a game or two now, somehow…. Back to the day job though, as Leicester and Chelsea get GW12 going at 12.30pm on Saturday. No less than 5 games follow this at 3pm with Arsenal v Forest, Villa v Palace, Bournemouth v Brighton, Everton v Brentford and Fulham v Wolves. Man City and Spurs see Saturday out with a mouth watering prospect of a game at 5.30pm. Just the two on Sunday with Saints v Liverpool at 2pm, followed by Ipswich and Man Utd at 4.30pm. Newcastle and Wes...[Read More]
FF247 Site Team News GW12
FF247 Site Team News GW12 When will the points come in? Welcome to FF247 Site Team GW12 Our Gameweek 11 Result It’s fair to say that GW11 is one we’re happy to forget. Unfortunately, with the international break, we’ve had to look at our pitiful performance for almost 2 weeks. Things couldn’t have gone much worse really. With all but 3 of our players registering no more than 2pts each, it was always going to be an uphill struggle. Ait-Nouri (6pts) and Mbeumo (5pts) did their upmost to keep us afloat, but with captain Haaland managing just 10pts whilst many captained a certain Egyptian, they were fighting a losing battle. Not only did we not captain Salah for what would have been 28pts, we don’t even own him. The pain. Some weeks you can get away with not owning the most popular captain pic...[Read More]
FPL Tips GW12
FPL Tips GW12 Welcome to FPL Tips GW12 Goalkeepers With the final International Break of the year now over, we all move full steam ahead into a run of nine game weeks, with the feast of the Christmas/New Year schedule until we reach the famine of the 3rd Round of the FA Cup on Saturday 11th January 25. The goalkeeping position is a position that us fantasy managers do not want to spend too much money on and is very much a “set and forget.” Most managers will have a £4.5m and non-playing £4.0m goalkeeping duo or perhaps two rotating £4.5m goalkeepers depending on the fixtures of that particular game week. There has been eleven game weeks so far this season totalling 110 games with the 220 teams accounting for only forty-five clean sheets (20%) during the course of the season. To briefly sum...[Read More]
FPL Captain Picks GW12
FPL Captain Picks GW12 Welcome to FPL Captain Picks GW12 Is the robot broken? That seems to be the question on many a managers lips this international break, and over the last few weeks. He has really let the side down lately and has seen many people want to move not only the armband off him but move him out of their teams altogether! I know I have sold him this week on my Wildcard. That should really end the article and debate right there as we all know my luck will mean Haaland scores 5 this weekend against Spurs, but alas I live in eternal hope that my decisions are correct. Below we have 3 men who have written about 3 other men that we all will let dictate our moods over the weekend! I might just light a fire, pour a drink and sit in ignorance! Let’s see what has been said…...[Read More]
Harry and Lloyd’s Predictions GW12
Harry and Lloyd’s Predictions GW12 Welcome to Harry and Lloyd’s Predictions GW12. I think you will all join me in saying “Thank God for no more Internationals until March!” Boy, do I hate those things! Now we have a solid 13 gameweeks without any breaks! That’s right we are about to enter the silly season! H&L is about to embark on the annual journey of double or triple result articles, keeping you all in suspense at times and just making sure you are all kept on your toes. This is the time where the men are separated from the boys (or women from girls… we do not discriminate here in the H&L towers) GW11 which feels so long ago now saw some shock results! Spurs went full Spursy and lost 1-2 against Ipswich which was the latter’s first win...[Read More]

FF247 Site Team Gameweek 11
FF247 Site Team Gameweek 11 Welcome to FF247 Site Team Gameweek 11 As above, so below … (the average) This is not a lesson in Hermetecism but one of FPL life. Oh boy how we could use some magic, philosphical, religous – or all of the foregoing – intervention for our team this season. It’s been grey, purgatory even. In Gameweek 10 we were above the weekly average if you are of the optimistic persuasion, ‘just and no more’ if the cross falls on the pessimisitic side of the divine line. Forty two (42) points overall and just the THREE above the field. A green arrow to the dizzying heights of 2,898,342. Oh Lord take us now* * to the top million even? A captain fail in Haaland, Dominic Calvert-Lewin (we’ll see you after the lesson) with his usual hopele...[Read More]
Harry and Lloyd’s Predictions GW11
Harry and Lloyd’s Predictions GW11 Welcome to Harry and Lloyd’s Predictions GW11 First off some housekeeping from our resident number crunch James Simmo – ‘Also, I happened to notice that MBD had commented about GW8 points being missed out, and I’ve corrected for that. Feel free to mention it in the main article or first comment underneath’. So there you go! Right, back to results. Sarri-ball and RafflesHotspur hit 13pts, it was good, but not good enough, they’ll have to settle for third place this week. IvanTheTerrible, Leprechaun and pjlill went 1pt better with 14pts and take second place. In first it was a three-way tie on 15pts for Albox, inittowinit, GoalMachine. We went to the FGS tie-breaker. The drama. GoalMachine drops out with their predi...[Read More]

FF247 Site Team News GW10
FF247 Site Team News GW10 You’re getting sacked in the morning…. Welcome to FF247 Site Team GW10 Our Gameweek 9 Result Three red arrows in a row, after a 55-point finish. The average was 54, which says it all. 46 of those were from 4 players – Gvardiol (9), Mbuemo (15), Palmer (10) and Haaland (12). Even the latter was disappointing as Erling was our captain. The remaining 7 got 9 points between them. Slow hand clap. We have £0.1m in the bank and 2 free transfers to waste use ahead of GW10. Let’s go see what was decided…. Our GW10 Transfer(s) On the face of it, there wasn’t a lot wrong here. Unfortunately for us, but admittedly probably more so for Ange and Spurs, speedster and high line dependant Micky van de Ven pulled up with another suspected hammy in midweek. I...[Read More]
