MLS GW19 Tips – Fantasy Major League Soccer
MLS GW19 Tips – Fantasy Major League Soccer GW19 doesn’t come with a lot of pretext for me. We’re now sufficiently divorced from the massive DGW – and by and large, the game looks like it’s starting to resemble something of a normal fantasy soccer setup. True, we do have an impending DGW for two teams (Columbus and Chicago), but for this round we’re only looking at two byes in LA and DC United. Maybe this bye for DC will finally be the ‘nail in the coffin’ for you to unload all of your DC players and start fresh with a team that doesn’t actively try to...[Read More]
FPL launch 2015/16 – New Rules and Player Pricelist
FPL launch 2015/16 – New Rules and Player Pricelist Finally, after weeks of waiting excitedly like a child on Christmas Eve, FPL has been launched for the 2015/16 season. With GW1 still the best part of a month away, there will be countless hours of tinkering ahead as managers try and ensure they get off to the best possible start in their pursuit of global domination. The price list will be carefully scrutinised to find this season’s Harry Kane, while many a club’s pre-season tours and friendlies will be monitored to see who is showing impressive form and which of the new transfers appe...[Read More]
New Signings – Fantasy Premier League 2015/16. Cech, Sinclair, Clyne, Falcao
New Signings – Fantasy Premier League 2015/16. Cech, Sinclair, Clyne, Falcao It’s been a while since we last talked, my friends. Too long. I hope you have found the MLS (and our FF247 Fantasy League) to be suitable entertainment during the summer. Or perhaps you fancy cricket and are watching our very own Tekno light up the fantasy cricket world? Or maybe you are doing both. If so, you are likely a fantasy addict and worry not: there are support groups for that kind of thing. On this website we call them the comment section. And as much as I dislike having to follow the much-talented and...[Read More]
New Signings – Fantasy Premier League 2015/16. Depay, Darmian, Schweinsteiger, Schneiderlin
New Signings – Fantasy Premier League 2015/16. Depay, Darmian, Schweinsteiger, Schneiderlin Manchester United moved early to secure their marquee signing of Memphis ‘don’t call me Depay’ Depay and he’s someone who many fantasy managers will have a keen eye on and some / most will probably take a chance on the new guy early doors given his obvious talent and pedigree. Elsewhere they needed a right-back and despite rumours of a move for Eveton’s Seamus Coleman they have splashed the cash on the slightly less exciting, but maybe more functional in a ‘Gar...[Read More]
New Signings – Fantasy Premier League 2015/16. Deulofeu, Cleverley
New Signings – Fantasy Premier League 2015/16. Deulofeu, Cleverley We continue our pre-season look at the relevant FPL signings today with a couple of players who you should already be familiar with from past FPL exploits but who have both decided to move to the house of Martinez… You know the house we mean. The one that had rock solid foundations under it’s previous owner Senor Moyes. The one that Senor Martinez decided was too functional and needed more flair and a few nice touches. Many, many nice touches. Far too many bloody touches. So he hung up a few fancy drapes and t...[Read More]
New Signings – Fantasy Premier League 2015/16. Ayew, Eder, Tripier, Obiang, Payet, McClean
New Signings – Fantasy Premier League 2015/16. Ayew, Eder, Tripier, Obiang, Payet, McClean The transfer window has swung open and many teams are already on a player feast ahead of the new season. Some signings will be functional and some will be exciting but what we need to know is whether they will be fantasy gold or indeed just barely relevant enough to be bench fodder. Over the next few weeks we will endeavour to trawl through the transfer market and analyse the key transfers for you. We will look at each players past performances and try and give you a steer as to whether we feel the...[Read More]
The Promoted Teams – Fantasy Premier League 2015/16
The Promoted Teams – Fantasy Premier League 2015/16 While the typical FPL player may be enjoying a summer hiatus from the exhausting and stressful demands of making one transfer a week for a fictitious team, the more discerning amongst us remain in a perpetual state of unfulfilled anticipation. Not knowing whether Alexis Sanchez will be listed henceforth as a forward; how much Harry Kane’s price will rise; or if the bonus points system will be tweaked to take into account hair grooming, will all be sources of great consternation leading up to the new season. Thus we must satiate ou...[Read More]
MLS GW17 Tips – Fantasy Major League Soccer
MLS GW17 Tips – Fantasy Major League Soccer GW16 is done and dusted – and there were more than a few surprises along the way for many team owners. Who could have foreseen Bradley Wright Phillips making MLS history by missing two penalties in one match? Or who thought that San Jose would pull off another miracle this season and beat Seattle for a second time in an away fixture? Giovinco with 2 points just for showing up? Safe to say there were a few quirks to this past week. But elsewhere, there was plenty that went according to plan. Consider Portland finding their groove and winni...[Read More]
