Socks, Sandals and Soccer: MLS Game Week 1 – Dallas Style
Socks, Sandals and Soccer: MLS Game Week 1 – Dallas Style What’s this? Another MLS article? After watching Guy’s tense yet highly successful negotiations with management, we stole his notes and held out until we secured the compensation package. Cheers Guy, we owe you one. For those not in the know, your 84th and 85th-favorite FF247 chat room pariahs Chins and Lawdogg are FC Dallas season ticket holders. With a number of you debating which FC Dallas players to field in your team, we thought we would lend a helping hand. So as not to impugn Chins’ good name (stop laughing), I’ll state at ...[Read More]

This is in fact the most diverse we have seen this category for the entire season. Hart, Courtois and Butland were the most popular picks coming in at 20% o...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Fixtures Game-week 30
Fantasy Football Fixtures Game-week 30 Well that was a bit more like it wasn’t it? Game-week 29 saw a wave of points flood our sorry assed fantasy teams and give us a much needed shot in the arm, or in the arse, whatever you prefer, and actually brought a smile or two from even the most disgusted of fantasy managers. Okay, so that might be a slight exaggeration. Some will still moan away despite having their best week in ages but that is a mark of how this season has gone. We’re on tenter hooks with it all and it wont take much for a toy or two to be hurled from the FPL pram. This ...[Read More]
Planning Ahead – DGW’s, Blanks etc…
Planning Ahead – DGW’s, Blanks etc… – Fantasy Premier League 2015/16 “When are the double game-weeks?” “Who misses GW27?” “Why is everybody talking about GW30 in terms of some sort of FPL apocalypse?!” “When is the best time to use my chips?” “Are there any other ‘GW30’ type surprises on the way?” These are just some of the more common questions we’ve been asked recently and so we wanted to clear it all up and make it as as easy to understand as possible. It’s dead simple really. When yo...[Read More]
MLS GW1 Tips – Fantasy Major League Soccer
MLS GW1 Tips – Fantasy Major League Soccer *NOTE* Game-week 1 starts Sunday at 1.30PM ET (USA), that’s 6.30PM in the UK. After many tense negotiations, FF247 has managed to secure Guy Sanchez (that’s me) for a second year of MLS fantasy advice columns. One of the major sticking points in the contract talks was the fact that Euro writers typically only put a single space after a sentence is completed – and the American style usually employs a double space. For American typists, it is almost impossible to teach the thumb to not double tap the spacebar after each sentence. But F...[Read More]

Saturday evening sees Leicester go ...[Read More]
Fantasy Football FF247 Team Game-week 29
Fantasy Football FF247 Team Game-week 29 Well that went well….NOT! A total score of 28 points in GW28 may seem to some as irony, but to us at FF247 it has completely summed up our season. Rubbish. We couldn’t even beat an average of 35 and thus dropped 86k places to an overall rank of 906,635. Nothing has gone right and frankly none of us will be sad to wave this season farewell. Or piss off. GW28 in summary – this summary won’t take long, it’s painful to write and painful to read, unless you like a touch of self harm. The highlight of our score was two assists. Y...[Read More]
Team Talk Fantasy Football Game-week 29
Team Talk Fantasy Football Game-week 29 Allo, it’s me again! We’re getting far too familiar aren’t we?! It feels like we only spoke a couple of days ago…ah. It’s got so bad that my wife is accusing me of having an affair and is questioning me as to who this “Ben Dinnery character” is that I keep shouting to in my sleep. Anyway, we’re good to go for GW29 and we kick off with a blockbuster North London derby as Spurs host the Gooners at the Lane in a match that may well determine who is best equipped to challenge Leicester for the title. Six 3pm ma...[Read More]
