Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 2
Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 2 Patience is a virtue… Welcome to Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 2 It’s fair to say that our Tips writers absolutely smashed GW1. Then again, we would all also win the lottery every week if we were able to pick all 59 numbers, which is effectively what they did. We hope you picked the good ones! Gameweek 2 is where we begin to whittle that lot down a bit though. One gameweek is hardly a huge basis to make sweeping judgements, but we can at least begin to see who is likely to hit a bit of form, who we can expect better from and which horses we may wan...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 2
Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 2 Welcome to Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 2 As is customary in these articles we start by running the rule over the previous week’s selection, So, how did they do? Whilst Mito offered a compelling argument for Riyad Mahrez, in reality, it was a straight shootout between Swirly (Bruno) and yours truly (Salah). In the wider sense, it wasn’t much of a battle. When the game updated on Friday night, early data reported a whopping 92% had gone Salah (c) – crikey. Bruno kicked off the ‘battle’ in the Saturday lunchtime fixture at home to Leeds,...[Read More]
FPL Ramblings
FPL Ramblings I hate writing these intros, I probably spend more time on this small paragraph than the rest of the actual article. I wrote 2-3 sentences, then deleted it, didn’t like it. I started again and deleted it again. Wasn’t funny, didn’t make sense, where am I going with that, does it even set up the article? Arghhhh!! You know what, here are some fpl thoughts. Team of the Week There are many places we could start, but when two of the priciest and most heavily owned guys put on a show, that is probably a good place. If you have not figured out which two I am talking a...[Read More]
Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW2
Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW2 Welcome to Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW2. It’s good to be back. I mean that entirely from a ‘fan of Premier League’ perspective. As an NUFC fan (and season ticket holder for those new around here) it was bloody awful. Could be worse, I could be a Leeds fan. Let’s get to the winners yeah? We ended GW1 with a tie for the top spot. RafflesHotspur and Shutto both finished with 11pts, however, Raffles 15th minute FGS prediction was closer than Shutto’s 10-minute effort (Sergi Canos in the 22nd minute). A...[Read More]

Premier League managerial feuds: Four defining spats
Premier League managerial feuds: Four defining spats The Premier League is a fiercely intense arena, and it is awash with some strong characters. Passion can spill over on the pitch between the players, and even the managers have been embroiled in battles. While off it, there have been more than a few choice words exchanged. We have borne witness to many a hostile moment where some Premier League bosses have failed to keep their emotions in check. So, let’s unlock the vault, and look back at a few feisty, if not arguably comical episodes between some of the main culprits. 1) Arsene Wenger v Jo...[Read More]
FPL Team News and Predicted Line-ups Gameweek 1
FPL Team News and Predicted Line-ups Gameweek 1 If you can’t do something properly don’t bother doing it at all… The above title is a bit of a motto of FF247. And it sort of explains why we used to do this article but then suddenly stopped. The truth of the matter is that it simply became too much work for the team. Following every word of every press conference and then analysing that info and translating it into a line-up… twenty times, was quite frankly a bit too time consuming. The knock on effect was that it also pulled some key personnel away from the site on a Th...[Read More]
Site Team Gameweek 1
Site Team Gameweek 1 Hello and welcome to Site Team Gameweek 1. Seeing as FPL opened about 4 months ago, you would think we would have spent hours formulating our plans for the team, endlessly researching the stats and pre-season appearances of the players and balancing our budget to accommodate the must haves and the dark horses. No. We all forgot about it until the Taskmaster that is Mito, clipped us round the ear and made us do stuff. Well, even then it was just to say if we liked ‘his’ team that he had created for us. ( …and even still we have our suspicions that The Legend played Twitter ...[Read More]
