FF247 Site Team Double Gameweek 37 Welcome to FF247 Site Team Double Gameweek 37 And now the end is (almost) near… well by the time you come to read this, it is only one calendar week from being done for another season. We have two gameweeks left and if you remember, our third from home was our much anticipated Bench Boost week.

Fencing as an Olympic sport
Fencing as an Olympic sport The history of the origin of fencing About three thousand years ago, in Egypt, on the occasion of the victory over the Libyans, Pharaoh Ramses III organized a kind of fencing tournament. In the Middle Ages, only the aristocracy could engage in this discipline. Simple inhabitants and peasants could only be fencing on sticks, sometimes upholstered in iron or on halberds.

It was in Spain that the rapier appeared with the now classic look of the hilt, with a characteristic bowl-shaped guar...[Read More]

Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 37
Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 37 So…. how did your DGW36 Captain do?! If it was Salah, the answer is ‘not very well’ (*insert own expletives). If it was, perhaps, Kane or Nketiah who were given the armband, then the answer is probably ‘alright’. If it was a Son the answer is probably ‘yep, I’ll take that’. If it was a KDB, well, then the answer is probably ‘bloody awesome!’. Whatever your answer or outcome, you can forget that one now as we have another to negotiate with immediacy. Albeit with slightly less appealing DGW par...[Read More]
Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions DGW37
Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions DGW37 Welcome to Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions DGW37. We are at the penultimate gameweek of the season. Squeaky bum time for some teams. Teams fighting for the title, teams fighting for their Premier League survival and then some teams already on the beach!

Tuesday sees just the one, Wednesday is the busiest midweek affair wi...[Read More]
