Three ways online casino can improve your fantasy football career
Three ways online casino can improve your fantasy football career Whenever we talk about online casino, we may think of the extreme outcomes: crazy big winnings or enormous debt-ridden addicts. However, the plethora of people in the middle ground stand to gain several psychological benefits from gambling online, and many of these benefits can work in your favor when it comes to fantasy football season. 1. Big brain training The first benefit is that playing online casino challenges your mind. Whether you are playing slots or blackjack, you are forced to focus on specific games for quite some time. To play well you need to focus on details and aspects of the game, and critically analyze them to create strategies for your own benefit. Furthermore, online casinos tend to produce constant stim...[Read More]
FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 25
FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 25 Welcome to FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 25 Where have you been all of our lives Friday… Yep, we’re back in action already and in theory it’s for a ‘mini DGW’, although we’ll probably judge whether it was worthy of the name after it as the way Man Utd have been playing we’ve seen people actually questioning whether to keep their players in for it never mind buy any more! The aforementioned bookend our week as they kick us off on Saturday lunchtime and then see us out on Tuesday evening. In between that we have eight other games; three on Saturday at 3pm before Man City thrash Norwich in the evening, then three on Sunday at 2pm with Leicester and West Ham in the later one. Chelsea and Arsenal sit this one out as the former are still away playing the World Cup ...[Read More]
FF247 Site Team & Predicted Line-Ups Gameweek 25
FF247 Site Team Gameweek 25 Welcome to FF247 Site Team & Predicted Line Ups Gameweek 25 As usual a good week goes hand in glove with a good captain. Step forward Jarrod Bowen (22) as our star performer of the week. He also hit the post as well so it could have been utopia but alas, let’s not get too greedy. Diogo Jota rounded off our gameweek on Thursday with a sweet 16 points as he single-handedly took apart Leciester at Anfield. The supporting cast of Son (7), and the defensive trio of Cancelo (7), Alexander-Arnold (6) and Aaron (of the ‘Arse) Ramsdale (9) took us to a weekly score of 76, some 26 points above the average and left us as very happy bunnies. We climb again, to 111,831 in the overall rankings. Our Gameweek 24 Result… We have £1.4mln in the bank and 2 f...[Read More]
Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW25
Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW25 Welcome to Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW25 With time at the essence, given a mere 37 hour turnaround between GW24 ending and 25 beginning, we have decided to get this one under way with immediacy. What this does mean is that we shall now announce the GW24 winner along with the 25 one in next week’s GW26 article. THIS WEEK’S COMPETITION… Scoring couldn’t be simpler: Correct Score = 3 points Correct result = 1 point Correct First Goalscorer of the game-week = 5 points (to clarify this is who you think will score the 1st goal of the entire GW, not just in any game you choose to pick yourself!) (Points are awarded on an ‘either/or’ basis, so you’ll either score 3 points for a Correct Score or 1 point for a Corr...[Read More]

FF247 Site Team & Predicted Line-Ups Gameweek 24
FF247 Site Team Gameweek 24 Welcome to FF247 Site Team Gameweek 24 If you can remember that far back – Emmanuel Dennis was the captain of our team for Gameweek 23 – and he got sent off! OK so the -2 for the captain wasn’t too uncommon but it’s hardly a brag. When Watford finally rounded the weekend out on Saturday with their 0-0 at Burnley, our two Watford strikers scored net 1 point! Josh King got 3 and Dennis dragged him back (how is that even possible!?) We thank Aaron Ramsdale and Diogo Dalot (NO REALLY) for their 8 and 9 repectively. Diogo Jota (5) got an assist and the rest was bleak. Let’s consign the longest – and dreariest – FPL Gameweek in history to the bin and focus on Gameweek 24 and its Tuesday evening deadline. A green arrow was the ...[Read More]
(Quite Possibly) The Ten Worst Premier League Signings
(Quite Possibly) The Ten Worst Premier League Signings As is the case every January transfer window, it seems that some clubs were bigger winners than others last month. But only time will tell if these new signings prove value for money. Have you ever signed a new player for your fantasy football team only to find that they can’t find the onion bag for love nor money? We’ve all done it. Interestingly, new data has revealed which Premier League signings have been the worst flops based on how much they cost compared to the number of goals, assists, and Man of the Match awards they have bagged for their new clubs. Because these are attacking stats, we’ve saved the blushes of awful goalkeepers and schoolboy defenders. Also, we’ve left out unlucky footballers that completed a move only to get ...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 24
Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 24 Welcome to Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 24 Hello once again, and a warm welcome back to our wonderful community. We hope you are all ‘enjoying’ your rather enforced FPL break. So stop / start has it been this season once more that even after all this time we still find ourselves stuck in the tail end of the last GW, about a week and a half since the last ball was kicked in it. Odd times indeed. Hopefully the next few weeks will run a bit more smoothly now though since the PL have finally put their foot down on all the willy nilly cancellations and stated that Arsenal a club must have 4 positive Covid cases to force a game to be called off. That said we do now still have about 20 games to be fitted in somewhere along the way so any kind ...[Read More]
Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW24
Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW24 Welcome to Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW24. The longest game week in living memory finally closed out on Saturday evening, and as ever we have barely a moment to catch our breath and reflect as we jump straight into GW24. Hopefully, new EPL Covid rules mean that postponements should now ease up and we’ll get fixtures when they’re supposed to be, which is good news for us as we all keep missing valuable prediction points with all these late additions! Speaking of points, let’s see who grabbed last weeks! He may be on an FPL hiatus, but there is no doubting the predictive prowess of our very own GP! Despite having missed the first fixture, 4 correct predictions from the remaining 9 fixtures saw GP smash the competition with a ...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 24
Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 24 Welcome to Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 24. We’re in the midst of the longest most boring game week in living memory. It’s only natural we turn our attention to the plethora of potential double-gameweeks on the horizon, fixture swings and for those who still have them (i.e. not me) Wildcards. I’ve pulled together a comprehensive list of players I think are worthy of your consideration and tried my damnedest to make a solid case for each and every one of them. Let’s get into it eh? Keepers The Man Utd defence may not be what it once was (5 clean sheets this season) but thankfully for their truthfully challenged manager, Dave saves. Dave de Gea (£5.2m) has made more saves (83) than any other keeper – if he keeps a clean sheet he could also hit ...[Read More]
FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 23
FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 23 Welcome to FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 23 For the first time in a while we have, what looks like on paper anyway, a fairly bog standard GW. One that begins on a Friday, has a few games scattered across the weekend and finishes on Sunday. Having said all that, no doubt by the time this is even written we’ll have had two games called off and another three bolted to the end of it. Yep, inevitably…. they have of course since announced that another game has been tagged on to the end of this GW. The very end, like in about two weeks time…. The games in full… Keep track of all the action, the goals, the talking points, right here at FF247 Live Match Chat, an interactive chat which encourages you to keep involved and share your thoughts and emotio...[Read More]
America’s Obsession with Daily Fantasy Sports
America’s Obsession with Daily Fantasy Sports Daily Fantasy Sports or DFS first appeared in 2007 as an accelerated version of the traditional fantasy sports that had taken the USA by storm in the early 2000s. Since then the DFS industry has grown to a market value of over $3 billion. And this is expected to grow further as more states legislate for DFS and open regulated markets. So it’s no secret that DFS contests are hugely popular in the United States, but why is that the case? How has the DFS industry enjoyed such wild success that it has become just as valuable as the industry that spawned it? What are DFS games? Much like regular fantasy sports games, DFS games follow the same rules and stipulations such as transfer budgets and salary caps. However, while fantasy sports are played ou...[Read More]
