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]

For now this is simply a placeholder and an opportunity for folk to begin discussing the season ahead in the comments below, should they wish to do so. FPL FIXTURE TRACKER...[Read More]

FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 38 Welcome to FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 38 The final reckoning is upon us, both in Premier League terms and in FPL ones.

Title may be won, but more importantly Mini-Leagues will be won and lost!
