Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW24

Welcome to Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW24

Another week with lots of goals. If you’re fond of a 2-1 (as I am), you were sh!t out of luck as 8 teams scored 3 or more, making what would have been a low-scoring week had it not been for 31 managers correctly going with Richarlison for this week’s first goal scorer! All this week’s podium placings did just that, but still well deserving of their place in the medal spots for managing 9 or more points in their predictions alone!

In third it was a two-way tie between hammerfan_im and our very own Init with 14pts, narrowly missing out on second by just a single point. 15pts was enough to see GoalMachine take that one, who themselves was just a single point off Sweetbluetoffee’s 16pts which was enough to secure this weeks top spot!

Many congratulations to Sweetbluetoffee! Please email us here: contact@fantasyfootball247.co.uk to claim your prize.

Overall League Table

At the top of the league my ability to correctly guess the first goal scorer keeps me ahead of the pack. With 12 FGS under my belt, I seem to have developed a canny knack of scoring just enough to never actually win a weekly prize, yet here I am ticking along nicely, wondering when I will mess it all up!

THIS WEEK’S COMPETITION… scoring couldn’t be much simpler:

• Correct Score —> 3 points;
• Correct Result —> 1 point; and
• Correct First Goalscorer of the Gameweek —> 5 points.

To clarify, this is who you think will score the first goal of the entire Gameweek, not just in any given match that you choose to pick yourself!

Points above are awarded on an ‘either / or’ basis, so you’ll either score 3 points for a Correct Score or just 1 point for a Correct Result, and these are never added together for a 4-point score.

Tie-Breaker: in the event of 2+ entrants being tied as winners for the Gameweek, the overall winner of the weekly prize will be decided by a tie-breaker. In order to do this, we ask that you also post your prediction for the time at which the first goal of the Gameweek will be scored. Nearest the pin wins!

The Rules… 1 entry per person and all entries must be submitted prior to the first match of the Gameweek. Once all the matches have been played, we’ll calculate the scores, and the winner(s) will be announced in the following Gameweek’s competition article: each winner will walk away with an FF247-branded t-shirt.

So, to recap, all that you need to do to play is:

• copy & paste the fixtures from below and pop your score prediction on each;
• tell us who you think will be the First Goalscorer of the Gameweek; and
• follow it with your guess for the time of this first goal (to give yourself a fighting chance in a tie-breaker situation).

Here are the fixtures; best of luck to you all!
