FPL Devil’s Advocate
FPL Devil’s Advocate Season 3, Episode 1 Welcome to Devil’s advocate. I have convinced my trusty punching bag to comeback for another article where he puts his cards on the table fpl wise and I “pretend” he has no idea what he is talking about. Last couple of editions he has sent me the screenshot of his team and we start from there. This season though he went rogue. He sent me his team and an explanation for almost every single player on his team before I got to even have a go at them. I think Smash just watched the movie 8 Mile before sending me his team where in the last rap battle Eminem says “this guy ain’t no motherf…ing MC, I know everything he’s bout to say against me” what he didn’t count on though is that unlike Papa Doc...[Read More]

FF247 FPL Launch 2021/22
FF247 FPL Launch 2021/22 Are we back then? Sort of… We hope you are all enjoying the Euro’s and will continue to do so for a while longer yet.
