FF247 Site Team Game-week 7 FPL Tips
FF247 Site Team Game-week 7 FPL Tips Welcome to the FF247 Site Team Game-week 7 FPL Tips article. Can we wildcard every week? Playing our wildcard last week certainly had the desired short-term effect, hopefully it also pays dividends over the coming game-weeks! We picked up 67pts which was 22pts above the average and this saw us jump back up from a rank of 262,127 to 91,692. The standout performers were undoubtedly Sergio Aguero, whom we had captained, and Alexis Sanchez. Elsewhere we had contributions from Petr Cech, Raheem Sterling and Marcus Rashford. Having brought Etienne Capoue in on ou...[Read More]
FF247 Site Team Game-week 5
FF247 Site Team Game-week 5 FPL Tips Welcome to the FF247 Site Team Game-week 5 FPL Tips article. Well, that was fun while it lasted. Our rank took a proper beating last week unfortunately, so thank gawd our transfer of Costa worked otherwise we’d be in deep poo poo. We scored just 38pts in GW4 vs an average of 43, which saw us fall from a rank of 22,450 down to 78,944. There are very few highlights for us to be brag about – Costa was clearly the best performer with his 12pt return from a Sunday in Wales, while Baines chipped in with a clean sheet and two baps on Monday night at Su...[Read More]
Fantasy Premier League Tips Gameweek 5
Fantasy Premier League Tips Gameweek 5 Welcome to Fantasy Premier League Tips Gameweek 5. Last season we moaned because there were limited options which lead to a template team forming early on in the season. This season we’re moaning because there’s perhaps too much choice. There’s just no pleasing some folk! Now the obvious thing with ‘too much choice’ is that you probably have more chance of actually missing out on points from players who you considered but passed over in favour of others. ‘Kane / Costa or Lukaku’ is a perfect example from this past week. They were t...[Read More]
Fantasy Premier League Captain Picks Gameweek 5
Fantasy Premier League Captain Picks Gameweek 5 Welcome to Fantasy Premier League Captain Picks Gameweek 5. Choosing your captain should be one of the most exciting parts of playing fantasy football really: the way of saying “ha! Called it! My team has the biggest names in the game and it sh*ts on your feeble squad” to your mini-league opponents. That sense of superiority is hard to impose when you’ve just scored, erm, around 17 points (maybe a little less…) in the previous gameweek though. Last weekend was horrific for many of us and probably left our opponents — the casuals among us, such as...[Read More]
Fantasy Premier League Tips Gameweek 7
Fantasy Premier League Tips Gameweek 7 Welcome to Fantasy Premier League Tips Gameweek 7.So, here we are then, at the end of another gameweek that saw many people wildcarding – myself included! I hope you’re not sat there with your head in your hands, wondering why you picked that differential who flopped and are, instead, gleefully looking at the points that players including Aguero, Sanchez and Son have accrued. Unfortunately, I didn’t have Son in my team – I just wanted to include an anagram of ass in this opening paragraph to grab your attention. This gameweek is, I’m afraid, followed by a...[Read More]
MLS GW29 Tips Fantasy Major League Soccer
MLS GW29 Tips Fantasy Major League Soccer You have to give FMLS credit for one thing: the game is constantly evolving. Even when it appears to stagnate in long stretches (Giovinco being dominant, Kljestan and BWP pairing), the game seemingly has the ability to change its meta selections at will. Not so long ago we were all about aforementioned Giovinco, Sjoberg and Valeri as main picks. Now the most key question is how we do we accommodate Giovani dos Santos and…Tim Howard?) This wouldn’t be a bad thing on its own – in fact it would be a phenomenal experience by itself; having the ...[Read More]
Around the Grounds FPL Team News Gameweek 7
Around the Grounds FPL Team News Gameweek 7 We are delighted to announce that this week there will not be an official Around the Grounds article. Delighted you say? Well yes, we say. Let us explain. Your usual roving reporter, the esteemed Cookie, has been a bit busy this week, to say the least. Now whilst most middle aged men are starting to wonder what to do with the spare bedroom once the eldest finally buggers off to University our Cookie lives life a little differently. To say the least. He’s been turning the spare bedroom into a nursery… Ah, surely for his grandchildren then ...[Read More]
FPL Fixtures Analysis Gameweek 5
FPL Fixtures Analysis Gameweek 5 2016-17 Welcome to FPL Fixtures Analysis Gameweek 5 2016-17. There’s a great Louis CK bit at the beginning of one of his specials where he acknowledges that he has trouble knowing what to say to start his show. It’s tough. Too much preamble and it sounds forced, but not enough banter at the top makes it look like you just don’t care about proper etiquette as you talk to your audience. I kind of wanted to get this intro right because it’s a huge shift for me on this site. Starting this round, I’ll be taking over the Fixtures article on a weekly basis. I know, ri...[Read More]
