FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 5
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 5 Welcome to FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 5 Hello everyone and welcome to the gameweek AND the second FNF (Friday Night Football) of the season! Shortly we begin with Newcastle United v Leeds United which our very own Rosco will be attending assuming he is still allowed onto the Gallowgate following his questionable behaviour surrounding CR7 and his ‘beloved’ Toon last Saturday. Kidding, that man is a pro and he had his FPL business head on and let’s face it, until Newcastle are taken over we’re all allowed to be fed up by the Geordies! Saturday starts with Wolves v Brentford at lunchtime which will hopefully be a good watch as warm up to four 3pm kick offs with Burnley *cough* welcoming Arteta’s Arsenal to Turf Moor, ...[Read More]
FPL Team Gameweek 5
FPL Team Gameweek 5 Welcome to the FF247 FPL Site Team for Gameweek 5 Another week/Another Green Arrow Easy this game – OK so we are only spitting difference away from the weekly average but those +9 points have brought us up to 392,480 and only two points away from the 300-point mark for the season. We captained Ronaldo at home to Newcastle and stole a march on the two people in total who didnt and he landed us 26 points. Those 26 nestle neatly between the 34 points Salah grabbed us at Norwich and the 22 haul Antonio secured at home to Palace. Three captain successes in the opening four is very very welcome. Salah got us 8 points thanks to his goal at Leeds and the rest was a case for the defence. TAA (12), White and Shaw (both 5). The rest a collections of 1s, 2s and 3s. Oh and a -...[Read More]
Predicted Line-ups and FPL Team News Gameweek 5
FPL Team News and Predicted Line-ups Gameweek 5 If you can’t do something properly don’t bother doing it at all… The above title is a bit of a motto of FF247. And it sort of explains why we used to do this article but then suddenly stopped. The truth of the matter is that it simply became too much work for the team. Following every word of every press conference and then analysing that info and translating it into a line-up… twenty times, was quite frankly a bit too time consuming. The knock on effect was that it also pulled some key personnel away from the site on a Thursday and Friday. So we got into a situation whereby we had RMT’s stacking up and nobody to answer them! Would you rather the likes of Smash, GP and Init be stuck behind a computer waiting to r...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 5
Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 5 Welcome to Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 5. A few issues have begun to raise their ugly (ish) heads in the past week or so. The first is that some of the more premiumly priced players (we are looking at you Ronaldo, Lukaku and Salah) are proving themselves to be hard to ignore. As such we may all need a few cheaper fellas to accommodate the lavish spending on the former and Horse and Rosco have set about seeing if they can save us a few quid at the back and in midfield. Although Horse either couldn’t help himself or simply didn’t get the memo and has also delved into the premium end of defenders too. Up top DCL looks like he is out for a bit and so GP has taken a look at his potential replacements, or indeed anyone in that mid-priced bracket. G...[Read More]
Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW5
Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW5 Welcome to Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW5. This week there were some standout results that few predicted, Palace doing a number on Spurs (3-0) stands out and I’d have predicted nobody would get the FGS, but as you’ll see below I was wrong on that front. Elsewhere, Chelsea and Liverpool both scored 3 times without reply and as expected Manchester United did a number on my lot, though our single goal reply may have upset more than a few 4-0 predictions. Let’s get to the results! There were lots of big scores this week; the first 14 players all attaining double-digit scores. Well played! And 14 it would seem is the magic number this week, Sam10 and Jon9898 both reached that number with Jon also correctly predic...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 5
Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 5 Welcome to Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 5. As is customary we review the previous week’s Captains selections to see who took Ronaldo and who took Lukaku who had the best pick from the vast array of attacking talent on show. And it was a tie! Smash took his boy Lukaku and Rosco took his boy Ronaldo and wouldnt you just know it?! Eachy peachy with both of these heavyweights posting 13 points and sharing the spoils. Two goals and three bonus points each. Wowzers! This therefore meant that it was always going to be really difficult for our third leg to get even close to this and so Kralin decided to select Michail Antonio and get so far away from the two titans, that he actually slipped into minus points. (Sorry Kralin but -1 (-2 there...[Read More]

FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 4 FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 4 Welcome back to FPL and if you are one of these shut-down-completely types who has spent the time between the end of Gameweek 3 and this deadline up a mountain with no internet or civilisation, you haven’t missed an awful lot (pffft)! Just tell me you made your transfers or pressed the confirm button correctly? No? You could be in for a rough one then. Anyway, the fixtures themselves have us off to the capital this lunchtime for a South meets North affair as Palace host Spurs at Selhurst Park. At 3pm – in a continuing glorious and welcome return of normality – we have count ’em SIX matches on offer. Those who have the luxury of watching matches at this time, we guess you may have your eyes fully on Old Tr...[Read More]

FPL Team Gameweek 4
FPL Team Gameweek 4 Welcome to FPL Team Gameweek 4 So long ago was it that gameweek 3 ended, that your author genuinely couldn’t remember if it was good, bad or indifferent for our team. As it turns out, ‘good’ is the appropriate description, as we were yet again respectably above the average score with our second consecutive 69 – placing us contently at 456,916 overall. OK so not front page news, exactly, but we haven’t totally blown it already (he crosses fingers and toes and touches the nearest wood). Our 15 points above the average score in Gameweek 3 was built upon a captaincy success in the form of Jamaican international and ‘Ballon d’Or in waiting’ Michail Antonio with his 22-point haul. This was supplemented in attack by Toney (6) eve...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 4
Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 4 Welcome to Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 4 Well, that was a bit of a weird old International Break. We’ve had players going, players staying at home, players going when they were supposed to stay at home, players staying at home when they were supposed to be going, players going places they weren’t supposed to go, players going places their clubs said they couldn’t go, but did anyway, players being dragged off pitches for coming from somewhere that they perhaps had or hadn’t been. Or something to that effect. If anyone does indeed return and if anyone can figure out where anyone has been and whether they now need to quarantine then you’re probably more on the ball than most players or clubs. Whether you are ripping up your team with a WC or multiple hits t...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 4
Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 4 Welcome to Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 4 GW3 seems like a distant memory now but even so we shall have our usual round-up / publuc shaming of the writers from that one before we move onto the Ronaldo show this week’s selections. 1. Matt – Antonio, 11 points. A goal and an assist was enough to see Matt take first place in GW3. 2. Rosco – Son, 10 points. Rosco was just pipped at the post as Son could only manage a goal and 2 bonus points. 3/4. – James – Benrahma / Ivan – Bruno, 2 points apiece. Both got diddly squat. It’s fair to say that GW3 was a bit quiet on the points front, let’s go see if this weeks Capo pickers can rustle up a few more for us. Kralin – Antonio v Southampton(A) I...[Read More]
Grab, Avoid or Bore Off! – Fantasy Premier League 2021-22
Grab, Avoid or Bore Off! – Fantasy Premier League 2021-22 International break time always means one thing, GABO time! This mostly passive aggressive panel was filled with our fearless feared leader Init, Rosco, who after only one week of doing Init’s site duties needed a therapist and GP who tries to always be nice, but has been sneaking in snarky comments on the site. With a crazy first few gameweeks and a crazy transfer window to boot, there is certainly a lot of questions when it pertains to fpl that we all probably have. I have asked once again on the site for any in particular you might want answered and have included the ones I could that were not addressed in other questions. Well, without further ado, let us see what the boys had to say. Thanks for reading Grab, Avoid or Bore...[Read More]
