FF247 FPL Team GW3
FF247 FPL Team GW3 Welcome to FF247 FPL Team GW3 ¡Arriba, Arriba! Thank the good lord for Mitrović, for our cheap and nasty striker was our highest scorer this week with his brace at Leeds leading to a dozen very gratefully received points. Aside from him it was our men at the back who kept us afloat with clean sheets from Ryan, TAA and VVD while Taylor chipped in with an assist. Captain Aubameyang contributed a mere assist at home to the Hammers and will be lucky to survive the chop. Midfield maestros Havertz and Saint-Maximin hardly troubled the scorers while Vardy and Wilson weren’t much better. In fact, when Leicester score four and Vardy isn’t involved in one bit of it then you probably know the writing is on the wall for your GW. Our score of 53 was below par and has brought us...[Read More]
FPL Captain Picks Gameweek 3
FPL Captain Picks Gameweek 3 Welcome to FPL Captain Picks Gameweek 3 There were goals and assists galore last week, unfortunately not that many from the obvious picks! To illustrate how odd it got we had 4 picks for you in GW2 and they managed 1 goal and 2 assists between them. Kane got a goal and 4 assists all on his own. KDB was probably the least obvious of our picks and he accounted for 2/3 of those ‘returns’. Or to put it another way, when Leicester score 4 and Vardy is involved in exactly none of the goals you know it’s going to be one of those weeks. Let’s not even mention how the ‘confessional’ went… So let’s go see if we can fare any better for you this week… Cookie: KDB vs Leicester City (H) Back in his stride on Monday night at Wolves, KDB looks as if he ready to car...[Read More]
Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW3
Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW3 Welcome to Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW3. The staples for a good week in this competition are lots of 2-1 and 1-1 all results. No surprise then that a game week that saw two 5-2 results and no less than five away wins resulted in a low-scoring week. Indeed, only 6 people out of 70 entrants broke into double-digit territory. Our very own master of mischief Mito topped the scoring with a whopping 14pts, closely followed by Perun (12pts) with a tie in third for Ko Nay and Newo who both picked up 11pts. And so; Many Congratulations to Mito. Please email us here; contact@fantasyfootball247.co.uk to claim your prize. THIS WEEK’S COMPETITION… Scoring couldn’t be simpler: Correct Score = 3 points Correct result = 1 point...[Read More]
FPL Tips Gameweek 3
FPL Tips Gameweek 3 Welcome to FPL Tips Gameweek 3 Hello. This was going to be my first dabble at Tips this season and ahead of GW3, I had planned to furnish you all with players I already owned as they were the ones that had gotten me off to such a good start and looked good for the foreseeable… and then FPL Gameweek 1 happened. After a poor and below average week 1 I recalibrated and prepared myself for the weeks ahead with a -4 by removing Son and Havertz for Rodriguez and Bruno. I was going to just go Havertz to Rodriguez but that wasn’t to be. Oh how I wish I could talk to ‘week-old-ago’ me! We’re now in a position at the end of Gameweek 2 where I am (yet again) below the weekly average – having mustered just 95 points in total – and have managed to escape the house ...[Read More]
FPL Fixtures Gameweek 3
FPL Fixtures Gameweek 3 We all knew deep down that this was going to be a weird ‘ol season, for one reason or another. GW’s 1 & 2 have sort of confirmed this. We’ve had goals galore: some from expected sources, some from those less so. We’ve seen a host of players deliver in GW1 and then a different cast appear in GW2. Salah, Son, Mane and Zaha are all prime examples of this new phenom. Those who didn’t have Salah for GW1 suddenly found themselves wanting Son for GW3 instead, probably via some Bruno merry-go-round. Wish lists have been written, scrapped and re-written more times than Raz tells us he’s missed the deadline #zomg Writing a fixtures article at the start of the season might seem easy but I see it as walking through a minefield. Looking a...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 2
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 2 Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 2. Well after an eventful start to the fantasy season we look to settle down a bit with a full set of fixtures and not that blankety blank stuff. Evoking memories of chequebooks and pens. The very popular Everton assets get us going when they welcome West Brom for a lunchtime kickoff. That is followed by three other Saturday fixtures, Leeds vs Fulham, Man U and Mr. Penalty host Palace and Arsenal take on the all but relegated West Ham, all neatly spaced out so we can sit for about half the day in front of the TV. Sunday gives us four more games, also kindly spread out, so much so that no two games ever coincide. Saints welcome Spurs in the early one and that is followed by Toon vs Brighton. In ...[Read More]
FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW2
FF247 Fantasy Football Site Team GW2 DODGED A BULLET All that tinkering and furore ahead of GW1 and we didn’t even select the most obvious player. But we had our reasons and we felt justified, although watching Salah open up with a hat-trick was a tad galling for us and no doubt all of the other non-owners out there. In retrospect we probably got away with it better than most as we scored 59pts vs an average of 50. Captain Aubameyang opened up with a rare goal on his travels and 7pts (doubled) is acceptable and far from a failure. Mitrović on the other hand was a complete shocker as he couldn’t even claim a start and got just 27mins off the bench. Our secret weapon Tyrick Mitchell was a definite win though as he bagged a clean sheet vs Saints, while Van Dijk at least combined his comical d...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 2
Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 2 Welcome to Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 2. Last week’s ‘Capos’ article began as follows, “Captain choices often make or break a game-week, nail it and you can be in the forties before you even begin to look at the rest”. How apt this was as a certain Mo Salah went and smashed home an opening day hat-trick and all those ‘lucky’ managers who gave him the armband grabbed 40pts. Those who contributed last week were bang on the money as all the players they included brought home the bacon (or at least some lardon). Although the worst was GP. (Just saying). No pressure on those tasked with contributing to this week’s article then! Hoping to see men with whole pigs on their backs striding up hills etc (apologies veggies…). Let’s see what ...[Read More]
FPL Tips Gameweek 2
FPL Tips Gameweek 2 Welcome to FPL Tips Gameweek 2. If your Gameweek 1 didn’t go to plan that’s ok. If you had a plan, stick to it, if you didn’t then now feels like a perfectly good time to make one. With the Manchester players back on the table, for a lot of people their transfers this week are predetermined. I don’t want to write a great deal about the Manchester lot, we haven’t seen them play and chances are that if you’re bringing one in this week you’ve already decided which way you’re headed. Instead, I’ll focus on the players who have played, for me tips are not always the players you should get, but also the ones you shouldn’t. It’s easy to look at all the players who scored points in GW1 and decide you simply have to take that -8 to get Jeff Hendrick, but I’ll tell you from...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Diary 2020/21
Fantasy Football Diary 2020/21 ‘It’s only GW1, son’. So much has happened since I last put pen to paper. To give you some background, I am a distinctly average FPL manager who seemingly fails to learn from his mistakes, but on the flip side I try not to take the game too seriously, I love a punt and have been known to captain full-backs too many times. From a personal point of view I am happily married with five children, 3 from my current, 2 from my Welsh ex. We live just outside Bath where we relocated to after a fun eleven years in sunnier climes was suddenly brought to a crashing halt due to work blowing up leaving us penniless and having to live with the in-laws for what can only be described as the worst five months of my life. We now live in the same village as the outlaws, but a fe...[Read More]
Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW2
Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW2 Welcome to Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW2. In a game that Aubamayang scored, Willian got a hattrick of assists then of course, Lacazette got the first goal, that’s how these things go. Sadly only two managers had their crystal balls shined to the max, well done to Treacle and Bejo for doing things many others simply could not. It was in no small part that those 5pts gained are what ultimately seen Treacle take the top spot this week with 12pts, closely followed by the aforementioned Bejo with a tidy 11pts. Behind both were AllanBrallan and Offalymartin who finishing on 9 points. And so; Many Congratulations to Treacle. Please email us here; contact@fantasyfootball247.co.uk to claim your prize. Overall table THIS WEEK...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Fixture Analysis Gameweek 2
Fantasy Football Fixture Analysis Gameweek 2 By the time that you read this, things — fixtures — will have happened! Certain players (most probably) brought in double-digit hauls for their owners; several favourites (most likely) got booked. The culprits may well seem obvious now, but it wasn’t even remotely clear on Saturday morning. Indeed, whilst I’m writing to you from the past — well, that can be said of any given passage, but it’s often fresh off the print — we’ve now observed ~2.105% of the new [F]PL season, albeit not a full Gameweek yet. That leaves us with just under 98% of the season to chase: almost quite literally, then, all to play for! One step at a time, though, or perhaps three to four steps; Premier League fixtures (even in the crowds’ absences) will never cease to functi...[Read More]
