The best young players of the 2020-21 Championship season

The best young players of the 2020-21 Championship season In this strangest of seasons, defined by behind-closed-doors football and coronavirus-related restrictions, it has perhaps been more difficult than usual for young players to really make their mark in the Championship. The role a live crowd plays in spurring on the team and encouraging young players can’t be underestimated, and this season that fan presence has been sorely lacking. However, there are still a number of young players who have excelled in the Championship this term, helping their team’s chances as the English Championship odds updated throughout the season. Let’s take a look at the standout performers. Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford) As the only remaining member of Brentford’s famous ‘BMW’ frontline, which also included Ollie...[Read More]

What’s next for three of Chelsea’s loanees as they suffer the harsh reality of Premier League football this season?

What’s next for three of Chelsea’s loanees as they suffer the harsh reality of Premier League football this season? It goes without saying that when the summer transfer window opens each year, the phones at Chelsea must be ringing off the hook. The Blues are no strangers to sending a whole host of players out on loan every season, and more often than not, those favoured in the Premier League relegation odds will be quick to snap up whoever it is Chelsea are looking to offload in order to help them gain some additional talent. This season, however, it looks as though three of their loan stars haven’t been able to help their temporary club’s stock rise as much as they would have hoped, and as the season draws to an end, it’s all the more likely that they will all taste relegation. But, as th...[Read More]

To Register or Not to Register – The Casino Question

To Register or Not to Register – The Casino Question The process of signing up to a betting site and verifying an account is a tedious one. Recent changes to UK legislation mean that players are now required to verify their account before they can make their first deposit. It used to be that players would have to go through the verification process at some point before making their first withdrawal, which at least meant that a player could sign up and start placing bets straight away. The new rules mean that if you come across an online bookmaker offering way better odds on a football game than your own bookie, you won’t be able to take advantage of those odds because you won’t be able to complete the verification process in time. Instant Betting At a time like this, many players turn to s...[Read More]

FPL Tips Gameweek 34

FPL Tips Gameweek 34 Welcome to FPL Tips Gameweek 34. Rarely do I enjoy writing a Tips article, others are much better versed and stat focused than myself. However, I thought I’d jump in this week and offer some names that will hopefully serve you well over the last few weeks or so of the season. I haven’t included any Man City players as frankly I’m not prepared to play Pep-roulette with your teams at this stage and anyway you know enough of Dias, KDB, Gundo, Foden et al to make your own choices. There are of course many other players I could have chosen but omitted. It doesn’t make them bad choices, but I have tried to cover the up and coming DGW(‘s?) and where I have tipped players they have either shown good recent form or have attractive looking fixtures or are displaying good monetar...[Read More]

Five Worst Transfers in Football History

Five Worst Transfers in Football History Football transfers are a gamble. They are as flimsy as most Euro 2020 prognozes. No one can know for sure if a signing will be a success. A myriad of factors come into play determining this outcome. A devastating injury can spring out of nowhere. A player could have a poor run of form, face acclimatization issues, be unable to find his role in a specific system, and so on. Football history is full of sure-fire deals that went horribly wrong. For every transfer that turned out better than expected, dozens were nothing more than money thrown down the drain. Player signings are so risqué nowadays that some online bookmakers even put up odds if they will happen and how they will pan out in the short term. These are gambling sites with a vast array of sp...[Read More]

Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW34

Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW34 Welcome to Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW34. As promised, we have two sets of results to give you this week. The less said about the GW33 results the better, but let’s just say I scored a solitary point, and the overall winning scores (as you will see below were low). Looking back at the results there don’t seem to be too many that were that unusual, Burnley’s 0-4 victory the standout that nobody could have predicted. On to the winners! GW32 Our winner in GW32 was Sarri-ball who picked up a whopping 17pts. It was no one-horse race, however, with OddDane coming a close second with 16pts. Tornado, Albox, Shinespark, and Leprechaun all grabbed a respectable 15pts to share the third spot on the weekly podium. Out of our 52 entran...[Read More]

Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 33

Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 33 Avarice (The following was witten in a fit of pique last Monday afternoon, but despite the hollow apologies and mass backtracking from the clowns and cowards involved it still seems raw enough to be relevant / worth airing). Our GW begins on Friday at 8pm with Everton (8th), a traditinally wholesome family club with strong moral values who appreciate and respect their fans, going to play some scumbags in North London who think they are a European super-power and as such are above such meaningless yet competitve games against lower opposition (9th). Newcastle, a (previously) traditinally wholesome family club with strong moral values who (used to) appreciate and respect their fans, kick us off on Saturday lunchtime at 12:30pm vs some scumbags who...[Read More]

FF247 FPL Team GW33

FF247 FPL Team GW33 Welcome to FF247 FPL Team GW33 We’ll give you three guesses who again was our super-sub this past week! Yep! That man Stuart Dallas (YET AGAIN!). He autosubbed in for Chelsea no-show Cesar Azpilicueta. His one point (don’t laugh) brought our gameweek score to 77 points which is a full thirty points s above the average and brings us up to 269,660 overall. Our third consecutive green arrow and 14th out of the last 17. We’re more than happy with that. If you remember we used our Triple Captain on Harry Kane this week. It was all going to plan with his two excellent goals at Everton but then disaster struck with another ankle knock late in the game which would eventually lead to him missing out the second leg of the DGW at home to Southampton, and an end t...[Read More]

Scheduled for Saturday 15th May, kick off at 17:30 BST, the oldest football tournament in the world will feature Leicester City against Chelsea.

Unstructured Vs Structured Data: Why It’s Important to Fantasy Football’s Future

Unstructured Vs Structured Data: Why It’s Important to Fantasy Football’s Future Consider the following hypothetical scenarios: Scenario A Player A has scored seven goals in his last nine Premier League games and 23 for the season. His next game is away against Chelsea, who have the league’s best defensive record, at Stamford Bridge. Six of those seven goals have been scored in home matches, and, in fact, Player A has only scored twice away from home all season. Scenario B Player B has scored one goal in the last seven games, and he has hit just five goals all season. In a recent interview with the Guardian, his manager has talked about the player’s difficulties since arriving from Boca Juniors in the summer. But his manager has said he has faith in the player and that performances have im...[Read More]
