Captain Picks Fantasy Football Game-week 10
Captain Picks Fantasy Football Game-week 10 – Fantasy Premier League 2015/16 Greetings from Australia, home of the most feared species on the planet: the Wallaby. In fact, I could be excused for thinking we were in July, being the time of year when the Southern Hemisphere’s Rugby Championship is played. I thought this was a World Cup? Anyhow, when I last presented to you (Gameweek 3), the earth stood on the precipice. Fantasy Football was in meltdown. FF247 was on its knees. Cookie Monsters and chickens (and other strange species) seemed destined to end up back at Sesame Street. The only...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Pottys Predictions Gameweek 9
Fantasy Football Pottys Predictions Gameweek 9 Hello my Potty Punters and have you all got over the shakes? Yes those “no FPL for 14 days” withdrawal’s? Well I had a wee spell in The Priory which included three days of electricity treatment and now I am buzzing ahead of GW9, buzz buzz. So let’s have a recap of our GW8 competition that was ‘Half and Treble” which caused you all problems as many played this game wrong? Yes the key to winning the rare FF247 t-shirt that week was selecting the correct half pick and many of you failed as a 1 point player gained y...[Read More]
Captain Picks Fantasy Football Game-week 9
Captain Picks Fantasy Football Game-week 9 – Fantasy Premier League 2015/16 Well Aguero went and did me a solid by removing himself from the reckoning this GW; at home to injury-ravaged Bournemouth on the back of smashing 5 past McClaren’s sorry bunch, he’d have made this a very short article indeed. All tipping one player. Him. The fantasy Gods had other plans though, and us mere mortals just along for the ride must look elsewhere for our double or triple points, and I get to write a few more paragraphs. Meanwhile normal service has at last returned to FPL Land, with pricey ...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Fixtures Game-week 10
Fantasy Football Fixtures Game-week 10 Sometimes, occasionally, all the stars align and something special occurs. That was game-week 8. It was mainly due to Aguero and that five goal haul but it also combined with some great performances from a good majority of the ‘popular’ players. The result was that many managers were able to post scores over the holy grail 100 point mark. Game-week 9 was never likely to match those heights but it did at least feel like a return to some kind of normality in that it wasn’t spectacular but neither was it ridiculously disappointing, as some ...[Read More]
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 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]
