Team Talk Fantasy Football Game-week 28
Team Talk Fantasy Football Game-week 28 Joy, another game-week, not much time to rest around here is there? Truly these midweek game-weeks I despise, no sooner has one stopped listening to the managers’ bollox than we have to go through it all again. And again in 2/3 days time for GW29 ffs. You think I’m moody now, just wait till Friday. Oh well, best get on with it. Our wonderful, fun, exciting gameweek begins tonight with five matches, all kicking off at 19.45 – how sweet. Everton go to Villa, good luck on the M6. The Saints have a much shorter journey as they travel to Bou...[Read More]
Fantasy Football FF247 Team Game-week 27
Fantasy Football FF247 Team Game-week 27 “Strange and rare green arrows reported over FF247 HQ” was the headline on the front of Monday’s newspapers. Yes we beat the average, we rose in the rankings and after a brief but brutal management reshuffle we are on the way up. 59 points was the total this week compared to an offical average of just 41pts. That’s a massive beat by anyone’s standards, especially ours. It has taken us up to 829,435 in the rankings (from 997,243) – ok, still not a great ranking overall, but we’re heading in the right direction. H...[Read More]

Five 3pm matches follow with leaders Leicester hosting Norwich, Chelsea going to Southampton, Stoke looking to boost their goal difference vs Villa, Watford welcome Bournemouth and West Brom do battle with Palace.

Fantasy Football Pottys Predictions Game-week 27
Fantasy Football Pottys Predictions Game-week 27 It seems so long ago now GW26, and it may be a distant memory, but it will long be remembered for the man himself Potty finally being well enough to return to the boards. It was heart warming to see him and we all wish him well in his battle and we hope to see him more regularly. Straight down to business then and last week saw joint winners as both Ceci and rushikhanvilkar correctly predicted one result (as did many others) but it went down to the tie-breaker for total goals scored and both were ultimately wrong but both were jointly ‘nea...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Tips Game-week 27
Fantasy Football Tips Game-week 27 – Fantasy Premier League 2015/16 “Well, it’s Tips, Jim, but not as we know it, not as we know it, not as we know it; it’s tips, Jim, but not as we know it, not as we know it, Captain”. If you somehow missed our guide to DGW’s and blanks last week then we forgive you as many took a well earned FPL break, but you may need to catch up if you did so, as we are about to enter a period of unprecedented uncertainty and only those armed with the necessary info will emerge unscathed. Here it is https://fantasyfootball247.co.uk/planni...[Read More]
Captain Picks Fantasy Football Game-week 27
Captain Picks Fantasy Football Game-week 27 – Fantasy Premier League 2015/16 Has it really been four months since last I graced these hallowed halls? Four months since last I spoke to my football-loving friends? Four months since last I frantically searched my address book to issue a frantic plea to Cookie and Init for a last-minute extension? Four months since I last cobbled to together a waffled intro? Yes, yes, maybe, depends on what you think of this intro. So many things have happened since we last spoke! I found professional happiness for the first time in my career and, having don...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Fixtures Game-week 27
Fantasy Football Fixtures Game-week 27 Darn these pesky cup-blank-lack-o-FPL’y goodness breaks. How dare they take our beloved game away from us, the cheek! Unfortunately, we’ve got to put up with it from time to time but we are delighted to welcome league footy back this weekend. The first blank-week of the season sees Manchester City, Liverpool, Everton and Newcastle sit this one out, leaving us with a few difficult decisions to make. Which players to take on and which to sell this week may just shape the next few weeks for our teams as the season begins to draw to a close. The b...[Read More]
Fantasy Football FF247 Team Game-week 25
Fantasy Football FF247 Team Game-week 25 The team committee is starting to feel like inmates who write the days they have spent locked up on the wall. Being part of the selection process for the site team is like being behind bars with no chance of parole. A moment of happiness (probably just a wet dream), last GW has quickly turned into another predictable red arrow. We scored 58 points this past GW, which gave us a ranking of over 2 million for the week and dropped us in the overall to 930K. All is not lost though, we still harbour a bit of pride (not sure why) so we can still be embarrassed...[Read More]
