Fantasy Football Fixtures Gameweek 21 Welcome to 2015 everyone and a Happy New Year from all of us at FF247! The Christmas period promised so much after the bonanza that was Boxing Day but in truth the next couple of GW’s after that flatered to decieve somewhat with relatively low average scores for both GW’s 19 and 20.

As I sat in our luxurious cafeteria this morning having breakfast and wondering what to write about, the hollandaise sauce from my Eggs Benedict dripped onto my hand-sewn FF247 uniform.
