Harry and Lloyd’s Predictions GW1

Welcome to Harry and Lloyd’s Predictions GW1

I’ll be honest, due to work commitments, I’ve not had much time in recent months to even think about the new season. My FPL side remains on ‘auto-pick’ but with just a week till the new season begins, I thought I’d best pull my finger out and do something!

So H&L wins as my first 2024/25 season contribution. Init already stuck the fixtures in for me, so I’m all out of excuses so here we are!

I always seem to lose count, but this is either our 7th season of the competition or maybe the 8th. Who knows! I won last season’s overall league table despite never actually winning a single weekly prize, so clearly anything can happen!

I guess all that is left to say is thanks for sticking with us, enjoy the season and of course, good luck!

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 pen.

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!
