Fantasy Football Fixtures Game-week 14
Fantasy Football Fixtures Game-week 14 Anybody need a hug?! Evidently that’s all it takes to turn a once ailing team into an all conquering team of superstars. We are now selling FPL hugs for a pound a go. Given how this season is going we expect to make a million! We are of course referring to Herr Klopp and his touchy-feely management style which has seen Liverpool suddenly become a viable fantasy (and perhaps real) force once again. When we all thought he was spending the International break drilling in tactics and philosophy all he was in fact doing was hugging everybody. Well it tak...[Read More]
Trends From The Top Game-week 13
Trends From The Top Game-week 13 Welcome to this week’s edition of Trends From the Top. While Crystal Palace and Sunderland have yet to play, there are a few take-aways worth looking at from this week’s leader board. And while there aren’t too many surprises so to speak, it is as always interesting to see how the trends change and evolve week-by-week. What are the leaders doing and what changes will they make moving forward? Will you make the same adaptations or go your own route?
International Break Round Up
International Break Round Up [three_fourth padding=”0 20px 0 0″] View image | gettyimages.com [/three_fourth]During this period, our most important assets travel around the world, either to compete for Euro or World Cup qualification or just to play friendly games. They get tired from long distances covered, they struggle with jet lag to and on top of that they sometimes get inj… sshhhhh. In a word they get internationalbreaked. And we, honest and dedicated FPL managers, are sometimes left with choosing between taking unwanted hits, losing team value or even using chips to co...[Read More]
Captain Picks Fantasy Football Game-week 13
Captain Picks Fantasy Football Game-week 13 – Fantasy Premier League 2015/16 Wake up! It’s already mid-week and there are FPL points to be had this weekend. I remember that we were also coming out of an international break the last time FF247 handed me the reins on this article – however, that was during the first one, back when we were all still feeling relatively fresh and optimistic – now I suspect that many of us feel about as fresh as Alexis and that much of our optimism has disappeared like Hazard at home to Liverpool. We have to re-motivate ourselves and believe that, ...[Read More]
Champions League 2015/16 Hints and Tips
Champions League 2015/16 Hints and Tips They tried, they failed, they tried some more. And failed. After missing out on a whole gameweek the good folk at UCL HQ did manage to scrape together some sort of something for us to dig into in Gameweek two. In the process it has somehow come about that the non-user-friendly site is actually worse than before. Our team sheets are no longer accompanied by league information or fixtures and the transfer page is hilariously crap. You’d have to wonder just what goes through the heads of some people! Anyway, we had a big enough rant about the UCL inad...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Fixtures Game-week 13
Fantasy Football Fixtures Game-week 13 One thing they don’t teach you in fantasy football school is to have a good sense of humour but boy do you need one sometimes and no more so than when the International Breaks come around. The last one decimated many a previously healthy squad. We are of course still in the middle of the current one and await to see what ‘joys’ it will bestow upon us but with the likes of Payet and Bony getting themselves injured, even before it began, most will be hoping for better news this time around. Even barring any more major injury scares we alre...[Read More]
Grab, Avoid or Bore Off!
Grab, Avoid or Bore off! Welcome to another installment of Grab, Avoid or Bore off for the 2015-16 season. As always we will tackle some of the most important questions in FPL, like is your spouse worth having if Pelle was available? After we tackle some of those hard hitting questions we might get silly and answer questions about Ozil, Aguero and others and it how it relates to FPL, time permitting. As I gathered the 3 Amigos this week, I noticed an air of grumpiness in the lads. Well, Kop was grumpy, the other two were their usual self. Come to think of it, grumpy is Kop’s modus-operan...[Read More]
Time for a differential – Fantasy Football Game-week 13
Time for a differential – Fantasy Football Game-week 13 [three_fourth padding=”0 20px 0 0″] View image | gettyimages.com [/three_fourth]When we sat back and considered who the ultimate cheap differential has been over the years in fantasy football one man stood out head and shoulders above the crowd. Of course he wasn’t a differential for that long but certainly those who were on that early Michu bandwagon were laughing all the way to the fantasy bank. And it seemed only fitting this week to give a nod to the man who coined the phrase ‘finding the next Michu’...[Read More]
