Fantasy Football Devil’s Advocate Gameweek 29
Fantasy Football Devil’s Advocate Gameweek 29 Been a while since Smash and I have had one of these, but seeing that he gave away that he was on a free hit this week, I thought, Init thought this be a good time for one. Thanks as always to Smash for letting me question him on his fpl decisions it takes a brave manager to let someone just have at it. A quick recap of his fpl season sees poor Smash off to a horrid start, but being the fighter he is he has slowly been grinding his way back to a better ranking. Currently he sits in 250k, but since sitting 1.4 millionth in GW13 he has seen 11 ...[Read More]
FPL Captain Picks Gameweek 29
FPL Captain Picks Gameweek 29 Welcome to FPL Captain Picks Gameweek 29 It’s fair to say that GW28 wasn’t very kind on the Captaincy front. One look at the weekly FPL ‘Dream Team’ confirms this, especially when you see names like Iheanacho, Stones, Meslier, Odegaard and Trossard leading the way. As for our own GW28 Tipsters it was a sorry old showing, with the exception of one: 1. DMC – Vardy, 26 points. This week’s runaway leader, a good 20 points above his nearest rival. The only problem here was that he picked Kane himself! =2. Rosco – Bruno, 6 point...[Read More]
FPL Fixtures Gameweek 29
FPL Fixtures Gameweek 29 A dog is not just for Christmas A fixtures article in a week that contains just four of them may seem a bit odd, but please just bear with us. The intention here is to analyse those very fixtures themselves, but also, and possibly more importantly, to then have a look at what those teams offer beyond this week. Aka ‘are they worth all the hassle’. We shall then also have a quick delve into the fixtures of all the other teams, simply because you sometimes need to know about what you are selling, as much as what you are replacing it with. GW29 Fixtures Fulham...[Read More]
Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW29
Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW29 Welcome to Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW29. A few weeks back I lamented non-stop football with kick-off times spread over the course of an entire week. Well, I’m not sure what is worse, that, or what we have this week. This week the fixtures span 3 days but there are only 4 of the buggers. Be careful what you wish for and all that! A score of 12pts is often enough to take the prize. Well, both COYS and WhoIsRonaldo did the hard part in getting the points, but sadly they will have to be content sharing second place. This we...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 28
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 28 Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 28 Look, it’s a regular gameweek with no blanks or no doubles and to be honest some of us are so thankful for that. This super normal GW kicks off on Friday when Toon play host to Emi “Lord of the Clean Sheet” Martinez, for non-owners he is known as “that bastard that kills me every week, but I am too stubborn to buy”. Saturday gives us four more fixtures. Leeds tries to slow down a surging Chelsea side in the early game. Palace then takes on West Brom which is follow...[Read More]
FF247 FPL Team GW28
FF247 FPL Team GW28 Welcome to FF247 FPL Team GW28 The Invisible Man We are sure many of you are familiar with the 80/20 rule of business; 20% of the effort for 80% of the results. Or some such iteration. This week we invented a new one for FPL, the 70/30 rule. To explain, we got 49 of our 70 points (70%) from 3 of our 11 players (circa 30%). But sometimes it’s just like that. The 3 in question were Kane (19), Gundogan (20, C) and Bruno (10). No big surprises there then. Elsewhere our ‘power defence’ of Cancelo, Dias and Digne brought home 3 points, combined. Son at least got...[Read More]
FPL Captain Picks Gameweek 28
FPL Captain Picks Gameweek 28 Welcome to FPL Captain Picks Gameweek 28 Last week saw a split in our writers picks, a couple went with a DGW’er, a couple with a singleton. And up until Wednesday night it looked as if the lonely hearts club was going to run away with it all, well one of them anyway. That was of course until Southampton got involved and we had to get our Man City abacus out. Fortunately for the Saints, and our Kop / Kane combo, said abacus only needed to count to 5, just as we were once again reaching for the 9-version. 1. Kop – Kane, 38 points. Our early leader held ...[Read More]
FPL Tips Gameweek 28
FPL Tips Gameweek 28 Welcome to FPL Tips Gameweek 28 It’s been another crazy GW, as Bruno Fernandes showed us on a weekend where he was sold by 300,000 managers, by scoring… again. I’m still a bit baffled why so many people decided to sell the best player in the game but hey some high profile FPL managers did just that! Harry Kane getting a massive 19 points, if only he did that last GW when a lot of us FPL managers triple captained him! Salah and Liverpool blanked again and will they even make the Champions League for next season now? Mane… remember what a great asset he used to b...[Read More]
