Differentials Explored Fantasy Football Game-week 9
Differentials Explored Fantasy Football Game-week 9 – Fantasy Premier League 2015/16 The moral of this article is to perhaps be careful what you say in the comments section sometimes, as one wrong move can find you stuck behind a keyboard for two days flat rueing something as simple as asking “Hey, FF247, can we have a differentials article please”. Never one to look a gift horse in the mouth we of course said yes you can. When you write it. Some would have laughed it off and said fair enough but to the credit of Pancho he took it as a challenge and only went and wrote one. A...[Read More]

Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Game-week 9 – Fantasy Premier League 2015/16 GW9 is live! The International break is over and what better way to celebrate it than a Europa derby. That’s right perennial European patsies get us going with a lunch time affair as Klopp makes his debut vs a Spurs side who are lurking right outside their coveted Europa qualifying spot. We follow the Normal One’s debut with six 3pm fixtures. The “Special One” Sherwood takes on Average Jose at Stamford Bridge, we also see future English manager Pardew play host to the Hammers. In other a...[Read More]
MLS GW33 Tips – Fantasy Major League Soccer
MLS GW33 Tips – Fantasy Major League Soccer *NOTE* Game-week 32 starts Wednesday at 7.00PM ET (USA), that’s 12.00am in the UK (technically Thursday). This MLS season is coming quickly to a close — only two weeks left to make your mark on what has been an exhausting season to try to follow and game-plan for your fantasy roster. And in true MLS fashion, we’re not quite yet out of the woods in dealing with the game’s difficulty. This week sees a return to action for all clubs. Six of those clubs will have a DGW — the caveat is that the round will extend all the way to Wedn...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Fixtures Game-week 9
Fantasy Football Fixtures Game-week 9 At some point in our lives, we’ve all lent out something precious to someone we trust, with tragic consequences. I recall with particular regret allowing a neighbour to test-drive my newly acquired pedal go-kart, only to helplessly watch him shatter the sound barrier, the wall at the bottom of our cul-de-sac and, ultimately, my go-kart. So it was with immense empathy that I learned of Manchester City’s recent weekus horribilis. For one club to lose players of the stature of Aguero, Silva AND Kolarov whilst on their tours of international duty, ...[Read More]
Grab, Avoid or Bore Off!
Grab, Avoid or Bore off! Welcome to our second installment of Grab, Avoid or Bore off for the 2015-16 season. For those new to the site, it is a simple question and answer segment that covers everything from the serious to the absurd. So why do we call it that? Tradition, is the easy answer as we basically have veered so far off course that it barely has any resemblance to the original format. Thanks to our members for some of the ideas on the questions, we tried to include most of them or some semblance of them. Well enough of the small talk from me, let’s see what the girls have to say...[Read More]
Fantasy Football FF247 Team Game-week 8
Fantasy Football FF247 Team Game-week 8 Four straight green arrows, a spot inside the highly coveted 2 million (yes, at this stage a ranking inside 2 million is coveted) was finally on the cards for this underperforming side. Only problem was the game-week started and we started to capitulate faster than an EPL team in the Champions League. We dropped close to 200k spots and now sit a long, long way from respectability. 38 points is usually a score that one would hope are among the lowest of the season. However in our case that is not only our score for GW7 it is our average for the season so ...[Read More]
MLS GW32 Tips – Fantasy Major League Soccer
MLS GW32 Tips – Fantasy Major League Soccer *NOTE* Game-week 32 starts tomorrow at 7.30PM ET (USA), that’s 12.30am in the UK. Colorado, FC Dallas, Montreal, NYRB and Vancouver — that’s it. The MLS, in all its infinite wisdom, has an actual game week with only five clubs playing. While 15 teams get a bye for international dates, these five teams got the short end of the straw and have to play a round of football while other clubs get to rest and plan for their final playoff push. Is it fair to these teams? Absolutely not. Is it fair to fantasy players? Again, not really. Befor...[Read More]
