Which FPL Players Offer The Best Value?
Which FPL Players Offer The Best Value? Part of the fun of playing fantasy football is that you have to get creative with your selections. Just like real-world football managers, you’ve got a budget, and you need to stick to it. While we’ll all splash out on those big-money names, the truth is that it’s very often the value members of our squads that deliver the points needed to drive us up the fantasy football league table. You might have Salah in your team, but so does everyone else; the slightly cheaper players provide a chance to diversify your squad. But which slightly cheaper players off...[Read More]
FF247 FPL Team GW25
FF247 FPL Team GW25 Welcome to FF247 FPL Team GW25 Room 101 You know the concept, you put in the things that annoy you the most; like playing FPL and trying to pick with sound logical reason the Manchester City players who are going to play the most amount of minutes in a double gameweek. And Pep gets you! Across a total potential 180 minutes against Spurs and Everton, our Ruben Dias scored 2 points and was our joint-lowest scoring player. Still, nice to own and captain Ilkay FUNdogan for his 38 points (in just 90 minutes by the way) but as with everyone else, you rarely hear about the things ...[Read More]
FPL Captain Picks Gameweek 25
FPL Captain Picks Gameweek 25 Welcome to FPL Captain Picks Gameweek 25 The finest of margins – that’s what FPL is in so many ways. At the time of writing, the likes of Sterling, Fernandes and Salah have five, nine and seven points respectively – then there’s Gundogan who has almost the total of the three players’ gains combined, with 19 points. Those who not only had him in their team, but also followed our man Init’s tip of captaining him, congratulations! As for the fortunate few who even triple captained him, even better! Regardless of whether he plays hi...[Read More]
How the FA Cup is shaping up after the fifth round
How the FA Cup is shaping up after the fifth round We’re now down to the last eight teams remaining in the FA Cup, after an unusual midweek fifth round took place, with action spread across Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. There were no huge shocks, with Bournemouth the last non-Premier League team remaining after they knocked out Burnley, while Everton and Tottenham Hotspur served up the greatest entertainment of the round, with the Toffees emerging 5-4 winners after extra time. The quarter-final draw has been made, and there are a few tasty ties to look forward to. The matches are set to tak...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 24
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 24 Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 24 Let the fun begin! We could be about to encounter a number of DGW’s on the bounce and DGW24 is the first of those, albeit with just the 4 teams playing twice. We begin on Saturday and end on Wednesday but it is also worth bearing in mind that DGW25 then starts less than 48hrs later, on Friday evening. Leicester and Liverpool get us under way @12.30pm on Saturday and this is followed by Palace & Burnley @3pm, Man City get their double under way @5.30pm vs Spurs before Brighton & Villa se...[Read More]
FF247 FPL Team GW24
FF247 FPL Team GW24 Welcome to FF247 FPL Team GW24 A strategy?! As some of you may recall this was the week we took the plunge on two Burnley players – Nick Pope and Matt Lowton – as they had a nice little run of games and started those at home to improving but hardly world-beating Brighton. And then 10 minutes from half time, Lewis Dunk happened. Four points from our duo of new signings was hardly a fantastic start to the week (more so when you take into account we had Jack Grealish with a 2 point apology in the lunchtime match). Thankfully Saturday was rounded off with a Coufal clean sheet a...[Read More]
FPL Captain Picks Gameweek 24
FPL Captain Picks Gameweek 24 Welcome to FPL Captain Picks Gameweek 24 When a hero comes along… …with the strength to carry on. Etc. Said strength will have been tested to the limit as of late, in FPL. And elsewhere, of course. Especially for those who considered Soucek’s powers too much to resist. And subsequently played him ahead of the likes of DCL or even Gundogan. As we go into a bit of a mini DGW the main question is whether this week’s hero will come from our double selection or from a more conventional single game-week source. Let’s go see what our merrily unmas...[Read More]
FPL Fixtures Gameweek 24 (and 25 and beyond…)
FPL Fixtures Gameweek 24 (and 25 and beyond…) A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away… I used to write the Fixtures articles on both here and FFC* before us (*’Fantasy Football Cheat’ for those of a younger era). Week in and week out, for years on end, and whilst it was always a pleasure it could sometimes become monotonous. But then once in a while a Double Game-Week (DGW) would pop up and that would really (finally) pique the interest. Kid in a candy shop and all that. Or more like a weather reporter in Florida who suddenly has a hurricane to deal with. We both kno...[Read More]
