FPL Fixtures Analysis Gameweek10 2016-17
FPL Fixtures Analysis Gameweek10 2016-17 Welcome to FPL Fixtures Analysis Gameweek 10 2016-17. I went back and reread my previous week’s Fixtures article this morning. It’s usually something I do with a bit of trepidation, because once those picks are locked in, there’s really no turning back. Once the article is published, I’m either going to be right or wrong on those picks, and I just have to live with the shame if I really messed up. I’m usually OK with a single missed pick – after all, not everything is supposed to turn out 100% correct (if it did, I’d be a millionaire sports bettor right now). And I have to say, looking at the picks last week, even knowing how those matches played out, I’m not sure I could honestly say that I wouldn’t make the same picks again if I had to do it...[Read More]

Fantasy Football 247 Site Team Gameweek 10 Welcome to the Fantasy Football 247 Site Team Gameweek 10 article. GW9 was one of the dullest game-weeks in history – it was a game-week dominated in the main by clean sheets for a change and we were fortunate enough to gain a clean sweep of them, courtesy of Cech, Walker, Holebas and Pieters. The only other contributions to our score were assists for Firmino and Lukaku and yet we scored 48pts, 6pts above the average of 42 and saw us climb to a ranking of 57,577. Exciting stuff. Another captain failure for Alexis was slightly compensated by Kun scoring just a solitary point on Sunday, so things could have been worse. All in all, we probably dodged a bullet given our defensive performance. Transfer: Rasford to Deeney We contemplated a whole r...[Read More]

Live Match Chat Gameweek 9 FPL News Welcome to Live Match Chat Gameweek 9 FPL News: Bournemouth hosting Spurs gets the game-week going for us, one would expect The Cherries to be done scoring for the season after dropping six on Hull last week That lunch time fixture is followed by six more at 3pm.

In other action we see the EPL uncaring Foxes vs Palace, relegation bound Swansea bend over for Watford and West Ham continue climbing the table when they face Sunderland.

Fantasy Football 247 Site Team Gameweek 9 Welcome to the Fantasy Football 247 Site Team Gameweek 9 article. One Jose Holebas, there’s only one Jose Holebas, one Jose Holebas! We’ll come back to our favourite Greek in a moment. With the average score for GW8 being 39pts it’s safe to suggest that we weren’t the only ones to have a shocker. We ended up with 45pts which resulted in a red arrow dropping us to 66,878 in the rankings. To be honest it could have been worse. Our captain, a certain Sergio Aguero finished the gameweek on a minus score thanks to his penalty miss. We’re pretty sure that’s the first time our captain has contributed a negative score. So back to Holebas. Thanks to a goal, a clean sheet and three baps he finished with 15pts which was a massive 33% of our total. Elsewhere o...[Read More]
Around the Grounds FPL Team News Gameweek 9
Around the Grounds FPL Team News Gameweek 9 Welcome to Around the Grounds FPL Team News Gameweek 9. A change is as good as a rest, so they say. Well sadly for you, you got the rest from me rather than a change. I am back. Around the Grounds is back. Your weekly preview full of waffle, useless stats and lies and deceptions aplenty from the managers returns to confuse you just as you were on the point of deciding this week’s transfer. Our game-week kicks off Saturday lunchtime as in form Bournemouth host unbeaten Spurs. Six 3pm matches follow – Arsenal attempt to continue their form as they welcome Boro, Everton travel to Burnley, Hull and Stoke face each other, champions Leicester take on the Palace of the Lord, Watford go to Wales and West Ham host Sunderland. The evening fixture sees Live...[Read More]
Fantasy Premier League Tips Gameweek 9
Fantasy Premier League Tips Gameweek 9 Welcome to Fantasy Premier League Tips Gameweek 9. Hello friends. We really hope you were you one of the lucky ones who didn’t suffer the ignominy of a missed penalty this past week in FPL. Lucky lot you were. Some had two misses. Some three! Anyway, now we have addressed about 0.00001% of the FPL population, how are the rest of you? OK so it was very strange indeed that Sergio Aguero, Kevin De Bruyne and Christian Benteke ALL missed from 12 yards and if you had all three then you’ve probably gone beyond rage and on to hysterical laughing. Screengrab your team and print it and frame it – that’s a legendary fail worth hanging on your wall. So yours truly (GP) captained Aguero on the basis of ‘perma-captaining’ the best player in the league, thus taking...[Read More]
FPL Fixtures Analysis Gameweek9 2016-17
FPL Fixtures Analysis Gameweek9 2016-17 Welcome to FPL Fixtures Analysis Gameweek 9 2016-17.Well would you look at this site now? It’s like this site is a character in an old RPG video game and it just leveled up and took on a completely new form. Usually leveling up comes with new abilities and gear. But in this case you still get me writing the Fixtures article. I haven’t lost any weight. I haven’t developed any new attacking moves or finishing combos. Still just me. But…in anticipation of this change, I did mark Stoke City #3 on my list of Best Bets last week. That raised a few eyebrows at the time, but after their 2-0 victory over the weekend, it may prove my FPL prowess is still good enough to be used in the future quests of this here site. And that’s probably enough with the ne...[Read More]
Fantasy Premier League Captain Picks Gameweek 9
Fantasy Premier League Captain Picks Gameweek 9 Welcome to Fantasy Premier League Captain Picks Gameweek 9. Fantasy Football is played by over 3 million people. A lot of them come to this website for help. This is an article to help you, the Fantasy Premier League manager, select his, or her, captain for the upcoming gameweek. This is a serious business. I want you to know that like all of the writers here, I take my responsibility as this week’s article author extremely seriously. It also hasn’t escaped me that for many of you playing in mini leagues, there is money at stake. Some of you need that money to pay your bills. Some need it to feed your family. Some of you, playing in Colombia for example, need that money to pay the ransom to get your sibling back from the cartel. That ma...[Read More]

Fantasy Football 247 Site Team Gameweek 8 Welcome to the Fantasy Football 247 Site Team Gameweek 8 article. GW7 turned out ok for us in the end despite Captain Alexis failing to do anything bar keep a clean sheet at Burnley. In a low scoring week which saw the average muster just 42pts, we totalled 52pts which resulted in a second successive green arrow and a rise in the rankings to 60,865. Firmino was our best performer with a 12pt cameo at Swansea, while Lukaku started off the game-week well with a goal and 2bps on the Friday night. Clean sheets for Cech and Walker and an assist and 2bps for Holebas were the only other contributors with Aguero, Rashford, Capoue, Sterling and Evans all failing to deliver. Before we proceed we should add a massive thanks to DMC for providing us with a bonu...[Read More]
Fantasy Premier League Tips Gameweek 8
Fantasy Premier League Tips Gameweek 8 Welcome to Fantasy Premier League Tips Gameweek 8. That was great, wasn’t it? I do love a good international break… said very few FPL managers ever. Personally I don’t have an issue with them. International football and international breaks were both there long before FPL! So what did we learn over the break? San Marino can actually score away from home. England are crap, with or without Wayne. Scotland are… oh forget it, nothing new or of interest happened in the WC Qualifiers. Certainly not in the European region anyway. If you know of anything exciting that happened over the international break please feel free to share your stories with us. Please keep them clean. The ‘good’ news is that we now have four uninterrupted game-weeks before we have ano...[Read More]
Fantasy Premier League Captain Picks Game-week 8
Fantasy Premier League Captain Picks Gameweek 8 Welcome to Fantasy Premier League Captain Picks Gameweek 8. So what drives your choice of captain pick every week? The answer probably should be as simple as “because that’s who I think will get me the most points from my team this week”. And it’s hard to argue with that! We only ask because we are going to take a slightly different approach to the article this week and look at some key indicators as to who should / could logically be your captain. We are going to look at it from a stats point of view but also try to apply the usual common sense logic too. We may well still end up with the same list of names as we would have done if we had taken the usual approach of picking the obvious mix of big ‘stars’ a...[Read More]
FPL Fixtures Analysis Gameweek 8 2016-17
FPL Fixtures Analysis Gameweek 8 2016-17 Welcome to FPL Fixtures Analysis Gameweek 8 : Depending on who you are, the return of FPL might be a godsend. Maybe you’ve done nothing but wait for the international break to be over so that the Premier League might return, and you can get back to your one and only hobby. Maybe FPL is the only thing you have going on outside of work and family. And if that’s you, then this past week has probably been tortuous. But for some of us, the international break allowed us to take in those things we’ve been neglecting for a while. I mean…we have Trump v Clinton going on (and most people say that it’s the best game in town). We have playoff baseball starting up. The NHL is back this week. Oh, and there’s this little matter of the NFL now being in full ...[Read More]
