Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW12
Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW12 Welcome to Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW12. Welcome back, I hope you’ve all enjoyed the short break! Back in GW11 results largely went as expected, West Ham’s win over Liverpool was the only standout result, elsewhere no other team scored more than twice, which in theory should have made for a high scoring week, but with the likes of Norwich grabbing an unexpected 2-1 away win and the goalless draw at Goodison, the scores were relatively low. This weeks winner was Agcastello, 14pts was enough to push out Pjlill who came a close second with 13pts. Agcastello correctly guessed the FGS (Armstrong), Pjlill did not. In 3rd place is yours truly (Rosco) with 12pts, again, thanks to correctly guessing the FGS. And so; Ma...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Inside The Mind Of An FPL Player Gameweek 12 Part 1
Fantasy Football Inside The Mind Of An FPL Player Gameweek 12 Part 1 Having launched this new feature last week it seemed to go down very well with our community. And also with the writing team – so much so that when we asked who was up for it again this week we got so many responses we have had to split it down into two smaller chunks. This is part 1 and part 2 will follow on next week prior to GW12. So, what it’s all about? Well, in essence, each week a selection of our contributors will bring to you their FPL team for the game week ahead. They’ll start by giving a quick recap on the previous game week, what went well, and of course what went not so well! Then look forward to the game week ahead and outline what their initial thoughts are with regards to their starting 11, captainc...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 12
Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 12 Welcome to Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 12 We all know who our most prolific poster is on here. Barely a comment goes by without Smash responding to it. And we all love him for it. He does however go away on a much deserved holiday on Wednesday and so in anticipation of this, and potentially not being able to respond for a while, he has left us with more words than most of us will be able to muster between us in the IB. Jamaica? Nah, she wanted to, honest guv… Goalkeepers Aaron Ramsdale (4.7) Since coming into the Arsenal team in GW4 Aaron Ramsdale has only conceded four goals, picking up an impressive four clean sheets. During this time only Manchester City have a better xGC rate than Arsenal. He missed the first three game weeks and is now the th...[Read More]
FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 11
FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 11 Sky are having a ‘mare… We begin with an early deadline this week as Villa go to Saints in what can only be described as an odd choice by Sky to bother pulling it forward to Friday night and then actually screening it. Saturday kicks off with the game that should be on at 4.30pm on Sunday (the Manchester v Salford derby). We often mention Jeff Stelling on here when it comes to the Saturday 3pm games and with good reason because he is a legendary presenter and his show has been one of the best inventions since the PL (football) began. He has also been poorly treated by Sky since this whole pandemic thing began. Initially shorn of any games to actually present they then decided to strip him of all his ‘mates’. The very people who made t...[Read More]
FF247 FPL Team GW11
FF247 FPL Team Gameweek 11 Welcome to the FF247 FPL Team for Gameweek 11 So Gameweek 10 is in the books and the lads here at FF247 Towers didn’t clear the avergae bar by much – but we did – and the 49 points versus the 42 average secured a green arrow and a rise to just outside the top quarter million – 251,543 for the pedantic amongst you. We had the midfield to thank in all honesty with you. We mined 33 of our overall total in there thanks to the performances of (captain) Mohamed Salah 10, Raphinha 9, Emile Smith-Rowe 9 and Said Benrahma 5. In fact only Antonio Rudiger with 6, outside of these did anything of note with his clean sheet at Newcastle. The rest are 2s and 1s and have been sent to the naughty step. Our Gameweek 10 Result… Let’s go see what ...[Read More]

Predicted Line-ups and FPL Team News Gameweek 11
Predicted Line-ups and FPL Team News Gameweek 11 We’ll do away with the wordy intro as you should all be au fait with the new layout of this by now. As a quick reminder – There are two versions of this article. The one below has a drop-down version. It’s fairly idiot proof – you simply click on the small arrow to the right of the team name and you get a drop-down list of all the teams. Simply click on the one you want to see and hey presto, etc. This is the published article with the comments section to crack on with. The other one is permanently live and has the ‘nicer’ grid layout. If you want to see that version you can click here. This can also be easily accessed at any time via a myriad of links on our homepage – Header link, Hot Topics link, ...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Inside The Mind Of An FPL Player Gameweek 11
Fantasy Football Inside The Mind Of An FPL Player Gameweek 11 We are nothing if not honest here at FF247 towers; we’ve all become a bit bored writing the same articles each week! Fixtures has already been scaled back to a monthly affair, as that’s about right for that one, or else it becomes too repetitive. Tips is becoming repetitive too as not a great deal is changing week to week right now. Salah has almost single-handedly rendered the Capos article redundant. Some or all of the above staple articles will continue to feature along the way but in order to keep things fresh, for both writers and readers alike, we are creating a few new features and this is the first of them. As ever it would be great to get your feedback in the comments below, this will help us to deliver content that wil...[Read More]
Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW11
Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW11 Welcome to Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW11. Just one draw last week and an unexpected one as Brighton and Liverpool shared the spoils at Anfield. Elsewhere there were plenty of clean sheets (5) along with a smattering of unexpected results (City v Palace the most notable) that kept this week’s results all the more interesting. So when all was said and done, how did that affect the results? It was a three-way tie for first place this week as M.Salah, Mosc and LittleRedLacazette all finished on 10pts. It all came down to who got the closest to the FGS time. M.Salah was sadly the furthest away (25 minutes out), next up it was Mosc (21 minutes) and finally just 16-minutes out was this weeks winner LittleRedLacazette. Hurra...[Read More]
Is Fantasy Football Better Than Traditional Sports Betting?
Is Fantasy Football Better Than Traditional Sports Betting? In essence, Fantasy Football is, just like sports betting, all about prediction. Are you putting money on a player to win the season’s top scorer award? Well, in Fantasy Football, you should try and have this guy on your team. However, while traditional sports betting is all about money and ROI, Fantasy Football is more versatile than that. That doesn’t mean, though, that you cannot build a gambling environment around your Fantasy League. Let’s have a look at the key benefits of Fantasy Football and why it’s been growing so quickly in popularity. You Can Be More Creative One of the biggest reasons many people prefer Fantasy Football is that it allows you to be more creative. The activity requires you to compile a team of various f...[Read More]
FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 10
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 10 Welcome to FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 10 We have a bit of a strange GW on our hands here as there are a lot of games that either look very predictable in their outcome or you simply look at and go… ‘meh’. Leicester and Arsenal set us on our way on Saturday lunchtime and if we tell you that this looks like one of the more enticing games then you’ll know what is to come. If nothing else our old mate Jeff @ Sky will be cock-a-hoop to see no less than 5 games in his slot at 3pm on Saturday. Two games could be close, but ultimately also dire affairs, in Burnley v Brentord and Watford v Saints with the other three looking fairly one sided for Man City (v Palace), Liverpool (v Brighton) and Chelsea (v Newcastle). The main ente...[Read More]
The Underdogs To Bet On That Could Break The Top Six
The Underdogs To Bet On That Could Break The Top Six The Premier League is one of the most competitive leagues in the world. There are many challenges for places, particularly at the top four, as they guarantee direct qualification to the group stages of the UEFA Champions League. The “big six” teams are widely expected to seek the four available spots. These include Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Tottenham Hotspur. However, owing to the financial strength of the other organisations in the league and their excellent groups, one can anticipate developments. Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are finding it difficult to keep up because they are in a transitional stage. The Gunners are getting their legs under Mikel Arteta, but Spurs have already d...[Read More]
