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?

And as ever we came up with fantasy gold! It’s our pleasure to introduce our new friend and new ‘MLS guru’ Guy Sanchez… Guy has a l...[Read More]
Fantasy Football FF247 Team Gameweek 38
Fantasy Football FF247 Team Gameweek 38 Another week and another red arrow. That’s 4 on the bounce and even Newcastle are starting to feel sorry for us. We dropped 396 spots to 5328 in the overall rankings. Not a dramatic drop, but still the trickle slowly down is really p*ssing us off. Well let us have a quick look at the magical 11 that caused our sorrow before we move on to our plans for GW38. In goal we had the trusty David Ospina. A nice showing by our keeper with a slick double digit haul. A couple of ‘clean sheet saving’ saves versus Sunderland had us sweating it out a...[Read More]

Captains Picks Fantasy Football Gameweek 38
Captains Picks Fantasy Football Gameweek 38 – Fantasy Premier League 2014/15 Ah, the unpredictability of a meaningless fixture. As West Brom’s confident dismantling of the champions reminded us, teams with nothing to chase have respect for neither form nor logic. Romelu Lukaku’s hat-trick in 2012/13’s loopy 5-5 finale with Man Utd is burned permanently onto the retinas of FPL managers across the land (Most infamously, costing runner-up Kelvin Travers the title that year). There hasn’t been a goalless draw on the last day of the Premier League since Hull and Liverp...[Read More]

Fantasy Football Fixtures Gameweek 38 And so there was one! Wow. It seems like only yesterday that we wrote this with 38 glorious weeks ahead of us. And glorious they were. The up’s and down’s we’ve all been through. We’ve lived it together. Sometimes in good humour, other times in glorious technicolour with expletives at the ready! There’s 1 left though and it could prove crucial to many a mini-league. It’s ‘squeaky bum time’ as someone famously said. If you’re home and hosed already then well done but spare a thought for those that aren...[Read More]
