Chelsea vs Leicester Dream11 Team Prediction
Chelsea vs Leicester Dream11 Team Prediction Chelsea and Leicester City will face off in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge in a simulated play-off for a spot in next season’s UEFA Champions League. The Blues will play a home game in front of supporters for just the second time this season, after their home victory over Leeds in December, with the UK government allowing a limited number of spectators to return after sanctions were relaxed across the UK. Despite being in ninth position prior to Thomas Tuchel’s arrival, Chelsea has enjoyed a fantastic run since his arrival in January, reaching the Champions League final and being on the verge of securing a top-four slot. However, the Blues have suffered a big setback in the last week, losing their Premier League lead after a d...[Read More]
FF247 FPL Team GW35
FF247 FPL Team GW35 Welcome to FF247 FPL Team GW35 Our stuttering finish to the season continued with a 48pt return in GW34. However, given the overall average was just 39 we still managed a green arrow to take us to a rank of 267,151. With Azpi rested and Bruno, Jota and TAA playing ‘Spot the Glazer’ at the Lowry we achieved our score with just 10 players. Son was our highest scorer with a goal and assist, Watkins again chipped in with a goal and Na(C)ho’s assist was welcome, though we asked for more. Digne collected an assist and somehow 3bps, which was more than welcome. All the others were frankly a waste of space and with a bigger double treble for some!) gameweek to follow, some heads may roll. Our GW34 Result… Let’s go see what was decided… Our GW35 Transfer(s) We’...[Read More]
FPL Captain Picks Gameweek 35
FPL Captain Picks Gameweek 35 And then there was a TRIPLE GW, obviously… As you can imagine we were all prepped and ready to go with this week’s Capo article. We were sort of expecting a couple of changes, maybe the odd additional Liverpool game, but we probably weren’t anticipating this sudden and unprecedented change of events. But credit to our team as they dropped what they were doing and have adjusted their sets accordingly. It does of course mean that Bruno ‘flog him to death’ Fernandes will jump to the front of most people’s queue as the obvious candidate here, but as we all know from bitter experience obvious isn’t always the winner in these circumstances. Let’s take last week as an example… Sheffield United were primed to be put to the sword by Spurs and there was one bleedi...[Read More]
Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW’s 35, 36 & 37
Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW’ 35, 36 & 37 Well, what a time for social media to go into a boycott! This weekend saw United fans storm the pitch and cause one of the biggest fixtures in football to be postponed. Whether you agree with the actions of the supporters or you don’t I think we can all agree it screwed up our FPL teams! It also messed up H&L with one fixture being removed. That one fixture could have changed the results and the destination of our winners prize but we will now never know! Elsewhere we saw Spurs smash 4-0 past Sheffield, City, Chelsea and Arsenal all win by a 2-0 score line and West Brom slip closer to relegation after their 1-1 draw with Wolves. We could have done with the United-Liverpool game to possibly separate our leaders this week ...[Read More]
FPL Fixtures Gameweek 35
FPL Fixtures Gameweek 35 It looks like we finally get to write about some upcoming fixtures that we know will actually happen and won’t be changed on a whim. DGW35 was announced last week and along with it a blank-ish GW36. As ever with these things they are not mutually exclusive and as such the excitement of bringing in assets from Arsenal, Leicester, Chelsea and Man United for a bumper double haul will be tempered with the knowledge that they will all then cause you a headache with a blank the week after. However, Villa, Palace, Everton and Saints all now have 3 games in 2 weeks, with the caveat that they are all fairly crap teams! Which was all well and good up until Sunday when Man United vs Liverpool was called off! This has to be fitted in somewhere and the best guess right no...[Read More]
How Football Has Influenced the Online Casino Industry
How Football Has Influenced the Online Casino Industry It goes without saying that football is the world’s most popular sport. Numbers state that nearly half of the global population watches football matches frequently. Not only that, but the numbers that this sport pulls of in viewership are mesmerizing. For example, the 2018 World Cup final had over 1.1 billion people that tuned in over its 90 minutes. The sport is extremely influential and has managed to penetrate numerous industries globally. One of those industries is online casinos and that is exactly today’s topic. We are going to see how this sport managed to influence online casinos and learn a thing or two about the platforms. Let’s begin. Why Are Online Casinos so Popular? At the moment, online casinos are among the bigges...[Read More]
The Recent Players to Really Stand Out at Promoted Sides
The Recent Players to Really Stand Out at Promoted Sides It’s fair to say that there are certain players in every team that go along as underappreciated successes. For instance, Gilberto Silva in Arsenal’s midfield alongside Patrick Viera, or Dimitar Berbatov for Manchester United alongside a free-scoring Wayne Rooney. This is also true for those players who ply their trade in the Championship, as England’s second tier has indeed helped to produce some great talent over the years, especially within the last couple. When it comes to current Championship players, the more creative players within the midfield at Norwich City can be seen to be hidden gems, although some of them are rather well-known from their stint in the Premier League. The Argentinian Emi Buendia and the Englishman Todd Can...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 34
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 34 Days of yore Back to a relatively bog standard GW, certainly in so much as there are 10 games and every team features just once. Albeit one after the other in this new endless procession of games that we have to endure to please TV audiences. Surely there wouldn’t be an outcrying of grief, even from the woke crowd, if just occasionally they lumped a few together at 3pm on Saturday for old times sake?! Just take a game involving a couple of crap teams who even their own supporters would be glad of a break from and sneak it un untelevised. Newcastle vs Arsenal springs to mind! But we digress… GW 34 begins on Friday as Saints attempt to exorcise their (one of now many) 9-0 demons vs Leicester. Man City kick Saturday off for us by no dou...[Read More]
FF247 FPL Team GW34

FPL Captain Picks Gameweek 34
FPL Captain Picks Gameweek 34 Usually at this point in proceedings we cast an eye back over last week’s picks from our panel and have a bit of a laugh at their expense, in the nicest possible way. And applaud the one who triumphed; usually the one who shouted earliest and got the obvious pick, in all honesty! Except that we didn’t actually do one last week, given the tight GW turnaround, and instead we put up a differentials article. Given how much we know our writers look forward to their weekly ridicule we thought we would take a look at these picks instead and see just how different they were in the end! 1, Rosco – Joelinton, Saint-Max, Wilson, Murphy, Ritchie, Willock, 14 points Got a bit greedy?! Some may call it cheating picking 6 players (literally more than half a...[Read More]
The best young players of the 2020-21 Championship season
The best young players of the 2020-21 Championship season In this strangest of seasons, defined by behind-closed-doors football and coronavirus-related restrictions, it has perhaps been more difficult than usual for young players to really make their mark in the Championship. The role a live crowd plays in spurring on the team and encouraging young players can’t be underestimated, and this season that fan presence has been sorely lacking. However, there are still a number of young players who have excelled in the Championship this term, helping their team’s chances as the English Championship odds updated throughout the season. Let’s take a look at the standout performers. Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford) As the only remaining member of Brentford’s famous ‘BMW’ frontline, which also included Ollie...[Read More]
What’s next for three of Chelsea’s loanees as they suffer the harsh reality of Premier League football this season?
What’s next for three of Chelsea’s loanees as they suffer the harsh reality of Premier League football this season? It goes without saying that when the summer transfer window opens each year, the phones at Chelsea must be ringing off the hook. The Blues are no strangers to sending a whole host of players out on loan every season, and more often than not, those favoured in the Premier League relegation odds will be quick to snap up whoever it is Chelsea are looking to offload in order to help them gain some additional talent. This season, however, it looks as though three of their loan stars haven’t been able to help their temporary club’s stock rise as much as they would have hoped, and as the season draws to an end, it’s all the more likely that they will all taste relegation. But, as th...[Read More]
