New Signings – Fantasy Premier League 2016/17. Leicester
New Signings – Fantasy Premier League 2016/17. Leicester Regardless of who else they sign this summer the current champions arguably made their most important signing already by convincing Jamie Vardy to pen a new deal with them, snub Arsenal and spearhead not only an unlikely title defence but also their great European adventure as they seek to rock the Champions League world, much as they did ours last season. And good on the lad too. In this age of instant gratification, easy money, fame and fortune there’s something almost wholesome and just plain fundamentally good about this ...[Read More]
MLS GW21 – Tips Fantasy Major League Soccer
MLS GW21 – Tips Fantasy Major League Soccer This weeks deadline is Sat 30th July 3PM EDT. That’s American time – add 5 hours here in the UK to make it Sat at 8PM The MLS isn’t in the habit of making their scheduling coincide with perfectly timed fantasy articles – and that’s kind of the situation we have on our hands again this week. Full disclosure: this article is being written prior to the MLS All Star game vs. Arsenal. Now, we could’ve waited until after the AS game to check on injuries and any players that played heavy minutes, but that would’ve meant having this a...[Read More]
Best #FPL picks from the promoted teams – Burnley, Hull and Middlesbrough
Best #FPL picks from the promoted teams – Burnley, Hull and Middlesbrough – Fantasy Premier League 2016/17. Living in Japan I’m always fascinated by the trends that transcend the East-West cultural abyss. This stratovolcanic archipelago (thanks Wikipedia) gave the world sushi, karate and talking robots. In return it got Starbucks, the atomic bomb and Shed Seven. Well, now there’s a new Japanese phenomenon zombifying the mass populous. In ‘Pokemon Go’, armed only with a smartphone, you must physically navigate real-life streets, trespass private fields and pr...[Read More]
Grab, Avoid or Bore Off!
Grab, Avoid or Bore off! Welcome to the opening instalment of Grab, Avoid or Bore off for the 2016-17 season. Lovely to be back with you the wonderful FPL community and guess what I have in store for all of you? The same 3 fellas who always do it…well, that was an exciting announcement. Much like Wenger, I don’t like to spend money for any new strikers, so no need to break up the 3 Amigos. Unlike Wenger’s crew, this trio of attacking talent always delivers the goods, sort of. Showing that they haven’t lost a step and have all the important nuggets of information you all...[Read More]
New Signings – Fantasy Premier League 2016/17. Southampton
New Signings – Fantasy Premier League 2016/17. Southampton It has been another summer of turmoil down on the South coast as once more Southampton have lost a number of their key assets. Liverpool clearly felt that they did not have enough ex-Southampton players in their ranks so decided to shell out a reported £34m on Sadio Mane. Spurs splashed out £11m on midfield enforcer Victor Wanyama, while Graziano Pelle has buggered off to China where he will earn a reported £260k per week. The world has officially gone mad! However perhaps the biggest loss will be manager Ronald Koeman who has ta...[Read More]
New Signings – Fantasy Premier League 2016/17. West Ham
New Signings – Fantasy Premier League 2016/17. West Ham What a difference a year makes! Roughly 12 months ago, some bozo on here was ribbing this lot to the max, predicting a rough season and possible relegation due to the appointment of “woeful” Slaven Bilic as head honcho in replacement of the ever sturdy Sam Allardyce. An unknown French dude was supposedly the key to Hammers success but this bozo just didn’t believe it. Who was this character, you ask? None of your goddamn business, that’s who. Now, moving swiftly on; West Ham have been quite busy in the curren...[Read More]

MLS GW20 – Tips Fantasy Major League Soccer This weeks deadline is Fri 22nd July 11.00PM EDT. That’s American time – add 5 hours here in the UK to make it Sat at 4.00AM Well, it’s finally happened. The FPL game has opened up and you can already feel the apathy towards the MLS game gaining momentum. I get it, no judgements here. Who doesn’t want to finally get their hands on a shiny new FPL squad? Who doesn’t want to try to balance Aguero’s salary against a budget defense? Which of you can’t wait to prove your genius by getting that newly transferred player that’s actually goi...[Read More]
FPL launch 2016/17 – New Rules and Player Pricelist
FPL launch 2016/17 – New Rules and Player Pricelist Finally it is live! FPL is back, life as we know it will not be the same for the next 10 months! At first glance there seems little change to last season – budget and squad size is naturally the same and the four chips remain in place, including the two wildcards – one to be used in the first half of the season, the other to be used in the second half of the season. The first may not be carried over – so use it or lose it. The only change seems to be in the calculation of bonus points – a breakdown of which can be found under the Rules ...[Read More]
