Around the Grounds FPL Team News Gameweek 6
Around the Grounds FPL Team News Gameweek 6 Welcome to Around the Grounds FPL Team News Game-week 6. How divisive our beloved FPL can be – those who had Lukaku, Sterling, KdB, Antonio, Chadli, Alexis and played Capoue had it off last week, while those who persisted with the likes of Hazard, Firmino, Silva, Barkley, Ozil and capo’d Ibra were left disappointed and saw their rank plummet alarmingly. The latter situation has led to many a wildcard being played this week as thousands chase the points they missed out on last week and abandon those players they considered a “must-ha...[Read More]
Fantasy Premier League Tips Game-week 4 Life without Aguero
Fantasy Premier League Tips Game-week 4 Life without Aguero Welcome to Fantasy Premier League Tips Game-week 4. ‘Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water’ So we all knew it was coming at some point, we just all presumed it would be a hamstring and not an elbow that did the damage. In some respects a hammy would have been kinder to us FPL folks as at least we would have had a fair stretch to contemplate life without him but as it is we now have a small window in which to negotiate around selling him, picking the correct replacement for a bit and then planning to buy him ba...[Read More]
FF247 Site Team Game-week 6 Wildcard
FF247 Site Team Game-week 6 Wildcard Welcome to the FF247 Site Team Game-week 6 FPL Tips article. Ouch. Oh dear, if we thought GW4 was bad then GW5 was a complete disaster. 41 points saw us fall from a rank of 78,944 to 262,127. Only our forwards did anything and we even cocked that up. It started of course with our capo decision, which ultimately led us towards Ibra after it looked all the way as if we would skipper Iheanacho at home to Bournemouth. A goal, an assist and a bonus point later and Ibra had a lot to do 24 hours later – the fact that he got given a ‘dodgy’ assist...[Read More]
Fantasy Premier League Captain Picks Game-week 6
Fantasy Premier League Captain Picks Game-week 6 Welcome to Fantasy Premier League Captain Picks Game-week 6. I sit penning this article on the morning of my birthday, and the football gods have given me a number on wonderful birthday presents. Jose Mourinho is surely unhappy after his team got whapped by Watford, and that makes me happy. Stoke were down two goals in the first fifteen minutes of their game and that makes me quite happy. Better yet, they look poised for relegation. This would make me infinitely happy. I started thinking about the best birthday presents I ever received, and the ...[Read More]
MLS GW28 Tips Fantasy Major League Soccer
MLS GW28 Tips Fantasy Major League Soccer Last week’s Round 27 predictably broke people down. The average score was a paltry 39 points, and for many people there was nothing they could do about it. But now that the massive bye weeks have passed (at least for a while), owners can now completely blow up their teams with a smart wildcard and enjoy some of these DGW matches we have on hand for this week. That being said, this is still the MLS, so many of the players you may have wanted to buy are still out on international duty for this round – and there’s no guarantee that they will play ne...[Read More]
FPL Fixtures Analysis Gameweek 4 2016-17
FPL Fixtures Analysis Gameweek 4 2016-17 Welcome to FPL Fixtures Analysis Gameweek 4 2016-17. Welcome, welcome, welcome to our fixture analysis for the week! The first three weeks of the season are in the books and the transfer window has slammed shut until January. All was right in the world, and then… the first of many annoying international breaks. Surely planned for no purpose other than to simply to frustrate us. The footballers themselves seem to enjoy it but to the clubs, their fans and, most importantly, the fantasy football managers these matches are nothing but a chance for their pla...[Read More]
Fantasy Premier League Captain Picks Game-week 4
Fantasy Premier League Captain Picks Game-week 4 Welcome to Fantasy Premier League Captain Picks Game-week 4. So, here we are – this is the first game-week since the transfer window slammed shut. Highlights on the final days included Sideshow Bob – sorry David Luiz – surprisingly finding his way back to Chelsea, Loïc Rémy arriving at Crystal Palace, Nacer Chadli moving to the Hawthorns and Jack Wilshere going on loan to Bournemouth (a deal only struck on the proviso that the midfielder would have Cherries-branded crutches for the inevitable injuries). Arsene Wenger also stopp...[Read More]
Fantasy Premier League Tips Gameweek 6
Fantasy Premier League Tips Gameweek 6 Welcome to Fantasy Premier League Tips Gameweek 6. Writing this and having intensely assessed twitter and the very busy message boards of FF247 since about 2000 hours on Friday night, I would say that there are more than just a handful of you about to begin a week long tinker of the old first half-season wildcard. If you don’t have it, don’t worry these tips may well still apply to you, most probably as you search for a makeweight to getting Sergio Aguero back in your squads ahead of his unleashing against Swansea City this coming Saturday. Do you sacrifi...[Read More]
