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.

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]
Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW28
Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW28 Welcome to Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW28. Well, that was some game to end gameweek 27 on! City and Southampton offered plenty of goals to bring the curtains down on yet another DGW! Thankfully we should only have one more DGW left but that has not been announced so for the meantime GW28 is a regular week. This will give my head a break from counting and updating a table…. not that I’m complaining. People have been asking about their t-shirts and how they have not arrived yet and we have news! Rosco ‘politely&...[Read More]
Football Matches and Asian Handicap Bets
Football Matches and Asian Handicap Bets Also known as ‘line betting’ or ‘point betting’, handicap betting is used to even out a playing field between two teams that do not evenly match. In this type of betting, the bookmaker offers a virtual advantage for the weaker team while giving a virtual disadvantage to the stronger one. Let’s say you bet on a weaker team to win, the team would have an edge over the strong team. With this, the chances of winning would be even. Ordinarily, if the bookmaker has not placed a handicap advantage, the stronger team would likely have won the game against the w...[Read More]
