FF247 FPL Team GW17 Don’t mention the ‘C’ word We may have finally have caught a break. We may well have caught more than that, but more on that later! We have had some horrible luck this season. But we won’t bemoan that as many have had horrible luck this year in general. Both inside, and more pertinently outside, of FPL. Your author himself managed to buy both Siggy and Son this week, and you can’t get much worse luck than that! In FPL that is. One of our own committee tested positive for the ‘C’ word this week and so we wish him and his family well. Puts things into perspective. He seems well though and he has been warned that if he intends to die then we require 30 days notice in writing. Everything that could have gone against us this season pretty much h...[Read More]

FF247 FPL Team GW16 With a small window of opportunity between GW’s we thought we had best provide a brief update on our FF247 Site Team plans. And brief it will be. It’s fair to say GW15 didn’t quite go to plan!!! When Grealish, Salah (C), KdB, KWP, Kane and DCL bring home 15 between them and McCarthy, Targett and Bamford get you nearly 55% of your total points then you just know it isn’t your week. All that saw us finish on 37 points and according to www.livefpl.net a slight drop in rank down to just south of 2m. Our GW15 Result… With two free transfers and £0,3m in the bank let’s go see what was decided… Our GW16 Transfer(s) As a reminder our B/Dgw’s 18 & 19 plan is to Free Hit in the former and possibly Bench Boost in the latter. The...[Read More]

FF247 FPL Team GW15 The rank is an embarrassment, and that’s coming from me… We wish we could nail the captain We wish we could nail the captain We wish we could nail the captain But 50% of our captains have had 8 points or less….. OK so our lyrical talents need a little brushing up but so does our overall rank in all honesty. Plodding along at just under the 2M mark at Christmas. We feel we are really yet to truly start this season. A drop of 400k places and of course the customary red arrow. We reside at 1,964,141 to be exact and to appease those who like everything on exact record. We scored 53 points in GW14 which was 7 points below the average. If it was not for Mo Salah (eventually), and Jack Grealish scoring us 16 and 10 respectively, then we shudder to think how we would have...[Read More]

FF247 FPL Team GW14 Welcome to FF247 FPL Team GW14 Lattes all round Look up the word mediocre in a picture dictionary and you’ll find one of our team from GW13… at least there was none of the mayhem of recent game-weeks and we actually captained whom we said we would captain. You know things haven’t gone well when your defence is the star of the show! Up top, our forwards combined for a grand total of 9pts. Our midfield trio weighed in with a staggering 13pts, which included our captain KdB and new signing Jack Grealish. At the back, Coufal picked up a clean sheet and two baps, Targett a clean sheet, Chilwell an assist and a bap. Dann (who came off the bench for Mahrez) and McCarthy should just go play in midfield or up top. All this saw us score a whopping 46pts, four above the aver...[Read More]

FF247 FPL Team GW13 Welcome to FF247 FPL Team GW13 You may remember the rather tempestuous committee meeting pre GW12 where several transfer ideas were put forward and rejected, some democratically and some Trump-like (cries of ‘STOP THE COUNT’ echoed around FF247 HQ). With the meeting in disarray the decision was made to hold the transfer. And as it turns out it was the correct move as we scored 62pts, above the average of 51 and a well needed green arrow. None of our transfer options would have seen us score any higher. Our score was indebted to our strikers and defence. Put simply our midfield of KdB, Mahres, JWP and Jota didn’t turn up, Jota literally, so Bissouma came in and fitted in nicely with a 2 pointer. Captain Kane delivered once again and DCL was unlucky to just produce the so...[Read More]
