Who are you? Who are you? Fantasy manager profiles Part 12
Who are you? Who are you? Fantasy manager profiles Part 12 Here at FF247 towers we’ve often wondered what driving forces hide behind a comment or a rate my team reply, do we really know the mindset and the persona of the people we are conversing with?! To find the answers to these questions we have lured some regulars from out of their caves and got them to endure a simple Q&A session. Hopefully this will help us to uncover whether each member can be viewed as a ‘fellow sports enthusiast’, ‘colleague’, ‘fantasy friend’, ‘internet troll’...[Read More]

Team Talk Fantasy Football GW22
Team Talk Fantasy Football GW22 Welcome to Team Talk, the place on the interweb to talk about teams and all the talk that is team-related to talking about teams. You’ll find the column under different management this week as we’ve agreed a loan deal with New York City FC for Lawdogg (a/k/a LapDogg)… This week the Premier League gifts its fans a wonderfully spaced-out set of league fixtures. If so inclined one could watch a whopping 7.5 hours of live football. For an EPL (and FPL) addict, that is brilliant stuff and allows us a chance to scout potential transfer targets. With a week somewhat co...[Read More]
Fantasy Football FF247 Team Gameweek 22
Fantasy Football FF247 Team Gameweek 22 Wow. It’s tough at the top! Despite registering a respectable 69 (-4) and outscoring the average by 13 points we still managed to slip back 332 places overall to find ourselves in 1,976th. We blame Hazard. And Sanchez. Although we owned both. More on those two scampsters later. We very nearly wildcarded last week and it was a close call but instead chose to wait and took a small gamble on a hit to get Kane and Hazard. Kane delivered for us but it was Hazard that hurt most which is quite ironic as the reason we took the hit was in fear of Hazard hu...[Read More]

Kops Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 22
Kops Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 22 The wildcard season is well & truly in full flow and there is quite clearly a template team forming. Do you follow the template or do you try something different? Obviously that is up to yourself. Yes if you pick the correct differential you can make up some lost ground and possibly increase the value of your squad, but picking the correct differential is far from easy. A lot is written and said about why you should avoid the template team, but it’s worth remembering that the players who form the core of these templates are typically the in form playe...[Read More]

Fantasy Football Fixtures Gameweek 22
Fantasy Football Fixtures Gameweek 22 Without too many stand out performances on Saturday most fantasy managers ambled into Sunday with distinctly average scores. And then along came Alexis Sanchez to single-handedly make or break many a week. Those that owned him were just thankful they did, those that captained him saw their scores jump by a massive 38 points. Those that did neither…. well, we shall probably see them at the back end of the week sometime once the shock and tears have worn off. Game-week 22 is now upon us and it is worth pointing out that there is then a break as the FA ...[Read More]
