FF247 Pre-season Hub 2021/22
The Pre-season Hub 2021/22
As you have become accustomed to in recent years, we start the new season off with your one-stop shop for all things pre-season with our club-by-club guide to their goings-on this summer.
Monday 5th July is the date when the first batch of Premier League Clubs return for their pre-season testing and initial work. Although, with international competition still ongoing – Euro 2020, Copa America and with the Gold Cup and Olympics still to start – then it won’t be a case of ‘all present and correct’ at the likes of Carrington, Finch Farm, Colney, Darsley Park etc. This will be a pre-season like no other.
When you add in the current travel restrictions that are in place, then this further clouds clubs’ usual pre-season jaunts and some clubs, probably all, have had to tailor their warm-up plans accordingly (Scotland is nice at this time of year!).
When you add in the fact that (again) many of the elite players will have had no proper rest, this perhaps is the least important pre-season to pay close attention to team’s line-ups, scorers etc, but we at FF247 will treat it no less so by bringing you details of what all the clubs are doing in preparation for the new season.
For those new, or just forgetful, we list all clubs below with their own comment and we (or we encourage YOU) to add in any pieces of information you might find relevant to injuries, team line ups or the like. Transfer speculation can probably be left out (we’re old school at FF247 – until the player is stood with the scarf above his head it hasn’t happened) but line-ups, scorers and assisters information is the purpose of this article.

*** NEW ARTICLE ***
Pre-season Hub 2021/22 – see above article for all the details.
We. Are. Back.
Many thanks as ever GP, mammoth effort to pull all of that together for us
Great, always useful.
Thanks for the hard work to help us all
You’ve been served. I mean mailed.
Hey Raz, set phone notifications 1hr before deadline this season.
Indeed. 😉 I never set notifications… but I should this season.
Where would the fun be in that!!
Appreciate GP. Keep up the good work.
Afternoon folks, just a reminder the entry into the FF247 leagues is not automatic, you need to e-mail me for the codes. I’m not running the doubles league this season, Horse is running it for the site. Please e-mail him at harryhorse@rocketmail.com if you wish to join in the fun. I’ve stopped playing the doubles myself so it leaves Carolyn on her own. If she wants to carry on she will be looking for a new partner. Put a post up and i’ll contact her.
Hey Elle,
Whats the email address for the regulars?
Cheers
May i just add to Inits post. Please do not put 2 teams in or give the codes to any Tom, Dick or Harry. For 1 we keep these leagues in house for our regulars and 2 there are 20 teams in each league in the H2Hs so you cock the numbers up. I’ve already suspended 2 teams and its only the 13/7/21.
Email sent mate, cheers!
Thank you Elle and team.
Cheers Elle. I have set up a doubles league. The code is oe2ckx for anyone who would like to join. No prizes confirmed as of yet but we may be able to blag a couple of FF247 T shirts for the winners.
It’ll be our 3rd doubles seasons. Brooky and me get in differential players and make punty captaincies for the shear fun of it.
Just joined mate, cheers!
Hi all exciting news.
We already have 30 managers so far in the FF247 Doubles League.
The code is oe2ckx. You still have until 6pm tomorrow to join.
The prize is a pair of FF247 Tshirts.
So to um Double the fun we are now also going to have a FF247 Doubles Head to Head League.
The code is atpdxh.
If you need a partner just post here and we’ll try to pair people up.
Sorry I have written the wrong league code.
The doubles H2H code should be nqpzdf
Thank you for article, great start for new season FPL! Love this website and people from here.
Very kind of you to say Disney, we love you too!
Look at the post above and mail me.
Finally normal fpl starts again. Tnx guys for the start up. ^^ Already have a first draft but I think I had it before the Euros? Lol. ^^
Also again sorry for the loss. Considering how the tournament played out, we had a fair winner. I think 40 percent of Italy’s strength left with the injury of Leonardo Spinazzola. He was awesome, looking forward to seeing him in the future.
