FF247 FPL Team GW6
FF247 FPL Team GW6 Welcome to FF247 FPL Team GW6 In our defence… It’s fair to say that when we decided to start the season with a double up of Liverpool at the back we were hoping for more than just the solitary clean sheet, and we certainly weren’t expecting that they would have conceded an average of nearly two per game (albeit it somewhat skewed by that Villa thrashing). The hapless duo got us two points this week, between them. We can then only assume that a certain Mr Pickford had seen our team and decided that enough was enough… They weren’t alone though as Ryan and Mitchell ...[Read More]
FPL Captain Picks Gameweek 6
FPL Captain Picks Gameweek 6 Welcome to FPL Captain Picks Gameweek 6 Werner’s expertise After a dreadful showing in GW5, the pressure was on our ‘experts’ to deliver in GW6. Let’s go see how they fared… Init brought us Kane. And his 32 Captain points. The strongest performance out of the lot. Unfortunately for Init, he didn’t actually own him, never mind being able to stick the armband on him. He captained Sterling himself and, despite scoring 72 points and being a good 12 points above the average, this was the lowest score amongst the ‘experts’. GP went jingoistic with Salah and that wo...[Read More]
FPL Tips Gameweek 6
FPL Tips Gameweek 6 Welcome to FPL Tips Gameweek 6 Sometimes in this life, no matter how hard you try, you just can’t compete. For instance, as good as he can be, Aubameyang will never be Henry; the Houses of Parliament’s morality will always fall far short of Andy Burnham’s relative benevolence. Maupay can only dream of hitting Kane’s numbers — or am I being too harsh? More to follow soon on that one… Anyway, enough of those loose comparisons, here’s what I’m basically trying to say: this Tips article won’t be ‘like’ (read: worthy of lacing the boots of) last week’s Tips article. Swirly did a...[Read More]
FPL Fixtures Gameweek 6
FPL Fixtures Gameweek 6 When I first realised I was writing Fixtures this week my initial thought was ‘what’s the point’. That’s not me being petty or dismissive, more a genuine consideration given the results over the opening 5 game weeks. The two constants for any FPL manager – form and fixtures, no longer seem quite so important. Take West Ham as a case in point. They lose their opening two fixtures; at home to Newcastle and away to the Gunners, so we conclude they are out of form, right? Their fixtures in Game week’s 3 and 4 (home to Wolves and away to Leicester) looked like ‘bad’ fi...[Read More]

VAR regains its status as the Premier League’s biggest talking point
VAR regains its status as the Premier League’s biggest talking point There was a sense that amid the recent furore surrounding the application of the handball law this season in the Premier League, football supporters had refocused their attentions away from the contentious talking point that is VAR. Cue the Merseyside Derby, and a match which ended up bringing the ghosts of the VAR debate back into the limelight like never before. Frankly, the match represented a hot mess for VAR David Coote and the match referee Michael Oliver. The first flashpoint was a challenge by Everton goalkeeper...[Read More]

FPL Tips: Things to Consider Ahead of the Christmas Period
FPL Tips: Things to Consider Ahead of the Christmas Period After the opening fixtures, the 2020-21 Premier League campaign looks to be one of the most unpredictable in the competition’s history. According to a report from the BBC, English football’s top-flight clubs spent £1.218 billion in the summer transfer window, only £159 million less than the previous year. In turn, fantasy football options are arguably more exciting than ever before. So, let’s take a look at several factors to consider ahead of the Premier League’s busy Christmas period. Is Liverpool’s Defence Worth Gambling On? In the ...[Read More]
