FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 18
FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 18 Welcome to FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 18 There may be some games to chat about… We are at the time of writing down to just the five four fixtures. By the time this hits the airwaves then… who knows! In theory there are were two games on Saturday with Villa and Burnley kicking us off on their lonesome at 3pm before Leeds and Arsenal ‘completed’ the day at 5.30pm. Now it’s just the latter. Sunday looks relatively crowded then with three games! Two at 2pm with Newcastle having the unenviable task of trying to restrict Man City as well as Wolves and Chelsea competing to see who can miss the most chances in a game. Our rather curtailed GW comes to an end at 4.30pm as Spurs welcome Liverpool.* *delete as applicable There is then a bit of respite with a break unt...[Read More]
Site Team & Predicted Line-ups Gameweek 18
Site Team & Predicted Line-ups Gameweek 18 Fantasy 5-a-side Our GW17 Result… Amidst the carnage that was GW17 we managed to field 9 players and came out a bit bruised and battered with just 51 points and with another red arrow through our hearts, as we plummeted 40k in rank to 256,951st. But we still had some decent performances within that via goals from Trent, Salah (c), Jota and Death Rowe and a clean sheet from White. Rudiger, Raphinha and Antonio all got two, whilst Ayling rather unhelpfully came off the bench to add a -1. We have £0.9m in the bank and 2 free transfers to use ahead of GW18. Let’s go see what was decided…. Our GW18 Transfer(s) All things considered we aren’t in that bad a shape this week. That’s if you take out the absence of any fit or available goalkeeper ...[Read More]
FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 17
FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 17 Welcome to FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 17 It’s a quick turnaround this week with a midweek fixture fest to get us right in the mood for Christmas and the chaos ahead. This one spans three days from Tuesday to Thursday and then we begin again on Saturday. Tuesday itself sees three games, all spread out slightly. with Brentford welcoming Ralf and his new spangled clean sheets at 7.30pm, Villa going to Norwich at 7-47pm before Pep and Bielsa have their usual cuddle at 8. Wednesday looks relatively uninteresting, if we are being brutally honest, with Brighton v Wolves, Burnley v Watford and Palace v Saints all at 7.30pm. Just say you are washing your hair or something instead. Arsenal v West Ham should be a bit more lively at 8pm. It’d have to try h...[Read More]
FF247 Site Team & Predicted Line-ups Gameweek 17
FF247 Site Team & Predicted Line-ups Gameweek 17 Hmmmmm…. It really is all or nothing for us at the moment. We’ve now had, since the season started, four green arrows in a row, then three red, four green and now four red again. Based on this we are due four green now. We say, in hope more than expectation… As for this latest one it wasn’t a disaster by any means, we garnered 62 points, a few above the average, but (not) enough to see us slip about 30k down to an overall rank of 215,171st. Just as well our ‘premium’ defenders turned up as they got exactly half of our points between them. Ironically, that included a 6 from White off the bench. You’d have to have read last week’s article to appreciate why that’s ironic though. Captain Salah added 16, Raphinha got us 7 and the rest ...[Read More]
FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 16
FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 16 Welcome to FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 16 And then there were 9… It’s not the first time and it almost certainly won’t be the last but at least we had some advance notice and so we could all react accordingly, rather than simply being left to check if you got that bench order correct. We wish those Spurs boys the best and a full recovery. As for who is left we begin on Friday with the solitary game which is Watford making the short trip to Brentford. Man City and Wolves get us going on Saturday in the early game before Arsenal welcome Saints, Chelsea and Leeds revive the 70’s and Stevie G slips into Anfield, all at 3pm. Norwich and Man United see Saturday out in the late one. West Ham go to Burnley and Leicester welcome Newcastle at ...[Read More]
The Five Best Defenders to Have In Your Fantasy Football Team
The Five Best Defenders to Have In Your Fantasy Football Team In the world of fantasy football, defenders can prove a valuable asset, depending on their style of play. Some defenders are highly consistent and not only do a stellar job of shielding the keeper, but also like to attack, which allows them to support players upfront and the team to put more pressure on their opponents. More importantly, that type of playing style can bag points for you team. Not sure who to sign up for your own team? The rest of this article aims to make that decision easier for you. Here are the five best defenders to make room for in your fantasy football team and provide an almost virtual guarantee of points in the bag: Trent Alexander-Arnold At £7.5 million, the Liverpool right back costs a pretty penny, bu...[Read More]
FF247 FPL Team Gameweek 16
FF247 FPL Team Gameweek 16 Meh! 45 points for the week and just the two above the average. Meh! Red arrow and a slight drop in the rankings to 183,041 overall. Meh! Captain Salah with just one assist – 12 points – not blanking but not ripping it up. Meh! Nine points from Trent and a couple of 5s from Raphinha and Antonio. Meh!

Our Gameweek 15 Result… We have £0.9m in the bank and 1 free transfer to use ahead of Gameweek 16. Let’s go see what was decided…. Our Gameweek 16 Transfer(s) We realise that Ivan Toney is missing due to Covid and its isolating/testing technicalities a...[Read More]

Fantasy Football Fixtures Christmas Edition GW’s 16-21 The Christmas Zone 60 games over 25 days. Or 6 GW deadlines in a little over 3 weeks. Whichever way you cut it we are about to enter the busy period, AKA the Christmas Zone. Game-weeks begin to run into each other and it can all become a bit confusing, especially after a few celebratory eggnogs. You go to sleep toasting another Salah hat-trick and wake up finding that the next GW has already begun. We can’t help with the hangovers but we can at least help with the planning. To which end here is our rundown on who has what during the Christmas Zone, which teams you should be targetting to get exciting presents from whilst toasting with a freshly poured Prosecco and which ones are likely to leave you uttering ‘Bah Humbu...[Read More]

FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 15
FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 15 Welcome to FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 15 If rotation didn’t bite you too hard in midweek then it may do this weekend, but as we mentioned in the GW14 edition of this particular article, which nobody ever bothers to read anyway (if you do, say ‘xG is King’ in the comments), this is just a taster of what is to come in the weeks ahead. And perhaps a little reminder of why having a squad as fat as your turkey may be wise over Christmas. We have 5 games on Saturday and West Ham welcome Chelsea in the early one at 12.30pm. At 3pm Burnley go to Newcastle to see how the other half live (same as them as it turns out), Saints and Brighton have a bit of a derby, and Wolves try to keep the score down against Liverpool. Watford then try (lol) to outsc...[Read More]
Site FPL Team GW15
Site FPL Team GW15 Welcome to Site FPL Team GW15 It’s always frustrating when you’re 0.1 short of your favoured transfer. Worse still, to have to watch said player (Jota) get on the score-sheet and the fallback option (Lukaku) fail to make the starting 11, and then do nothing in the minutes (21) that he did get. Our GW14 score makes for grim reading. Only 3 of our 11 returned; Salah (obviously) Raphinha (fortuitously) and Smith-Rowe (controversially). A paltry 12 points from our other 8 made a bad game-week one to forget – fast. Lucky for us (yay) we’re straight back into it. 57 points total, 1 below the average and a big juicy red arrow that sees us drop to 162k. Not the end of the world. Our GW14 Result… We have £1.8m ITB and 1 FT as we quickly jump to GW15. What did we decid...[Read More]
FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 14
FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 14 Welcome to FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 14 With deadlines between GW’s almost running into each other this somewhat randomly placed and sprawling midweek fixture list always feels like it is simply placed here as a training vehicle ahead of what is about to come over Christmas. With GW13 having only finished late on Sunday evening we are back at it already on Tuesday and this one goes through to Thursday night and then GW15 kicks off on Saturday. It’s a 2-6-2 split with Wednesday doing the heavy carrying. Just the two on Tuesday then and we begin with a relegation 6-pointer as the worlds richest club (Newcastle) go head to head with the world yo-yo champions (Norwich) at 7.30pm. If that one hasn’t put you to sleep then Amazon are obviously ...[Read More]
