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]
Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW33
Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW33 Welcome to Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW33. After a long and arduous game week, we barely have a moment to catch our breath and we’re quickly into GW33. Thankfully this one spans just the 4 days and after the events of last week for football, in general, it’s nice to have a semblance of normality! We won’t be publishing last weeks winners in this article but fear not, we’re not creating some breakaway H&L Superleague, well, not yet anyway! With the quick turnaround, we’ll publish last weeks winners in a double results reveal next week – what drama! See it as a bit like doing the Match of the day challenge! THIS WEEK’S COMPETITION… Scoring couldn’t be simpler: Correct Score...[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]
FA Cup Final – Can the cunning Foxes beat the belligerent Blues?
FA Cup Final – Can the cunning Foxes beat the belligerent Blues? The annual journey in the FA Cup is coming to an end. It all started out with 368 non-league teams from levels eight to ten of National League System, back in August 2020. Amongst those competing at the beginning, amusingly named teams like New Salamis and Sporting Bengal United, which could almost be the names of some of our own fantasy league teams. After six qualifying rounds and seven more of the competition proper, we’re now down to the two teams who will contest the FA Cup Final at Wembley Stadium. Scheduled for Saturday 15th May, kick off at 17:30 BST, the oldest football tournament in the world will feature Leicester City against Chelsea. Focusing on the showpiece game itself, the latest odds on the English FA C...[Read More]
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]
FPL Tips Gameweek 33 – Differentials
FPL Tips Gameweek 33 Welcome to FPL Tips Gameweek 33 – Differentials Differentials you say? But aren’t they that for a reason; usually that they aren’t scoring enough points consistently to warrant our consideration? Yeah, sure. And we get that, but sometimes needs must and sometimes a few differentials can emerge late doors who suddenly start to put a run of form together. And sometimes that is simply because their teams are in a desperate situation and need results. Sooooo… a differential who plays a struggling team you say? Well, yeah. Trust us, this can happen. Not only are they getting desperate but some of the teams / players they are playing against are getting ready for the beach (don’t tell them there’s a bit of a travel ban / pandemic occuring,...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 32
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 32 Just as the Covid restrictions are becoming eased FPL goes all retro on us and casts us back to the mid-2020’s; those glory days when we had a game or two nearly every day to watch in the evening sun. GW32 is spread over 7 separate days and goes from Friday night to sometime next Thursday. We’d say strap in for the ride but in all honesty it’ll be the mundane meandering that we really don’t miss much as the GW goes on, and on, and on… It may be worth having a flutter to pass the time and if so here you can find some good betting apps on which to do so. It is of course a DGW, of sorts, with Spurs going twice. They kick us off on Friday with an away trip to Goodison at 8pm. Saturday is fractured with just the two game...[Read More]
FF247 FPL Team GW32
FF247 FPL Team GW32 Welcome to FF247 FPL Team GW32 Everbody Does Dallas As regular readers will know, we have benefitted a few times from the autosub rule this season. Call it luck if you like (we don’t – you won’t get good points from your bench if you don’t have good players on it) but we have already called upon two Matt Targett clean sheets and bonus points, an Ezri Konsa clean sheet, a 12-point haul from Jesse Lingard and a Stuart Dallas goal at Leicester a few weeks back. However, the ‘Cookstown Carlos’ outdid all of the above with his two goals at Champions-elect Manchester City last weekend as he ascended – wearing a crown and in a glow of brilliant light – from our bench with his 17 points and the next time the FF247 committee gather...[Read More]
Grab, Avoid or Bore Off – FW32 DGW Edition
Grab, Avoid or Bore Off – FW32 DGW Edition We felt that any usual stand alone article may be somewhat redundant this week, given the ‘obviousness’ of the Spurs DGW; do we really need to tell you that Spurs have a double this week and that Palace blank (that’s the Fixtures article done), or that your captain will 80% be Kane or 20% Son (Capos article done), or that you should probably buy some of the aforementioned (Tips done). No, we don’t. So instead we decided to probe some FPL minds on a range of wider issues, with a small eye on the above topics.
