The Pre-season Friendly Overview
Fantasy Football Pre-season Friendly Overview We sent him here, we sent him there. He came back with regular pre-season updates. We appreciated it all gratefully. What we weren’t quite expecting was that he would come knocking on the FF247 door at the end of it all and tell us that he had compiled all the results for every team into a nice little pile for us. And that he’d completed a summary assessment of each team. And that he’d included the main transfers for each. And that he’d he then added a few observations. And that he’d even then included likely line-ups...[Read More]
Fixture Tracker – Fantasy Premier League 2014-15
Fixture Tracker – Fantasy Premier League 2014-15 We’ve all seen a few different ways of viewing upcoming fixtures, and the one that has become increasingly popular over the last couple of years is the colour-coded one. With this, you can instantly see each team’s approaching fixtures with an accompanying colour that corresponds to the difficulty of each match. This is very useful for both identifying teams that are potentially about to have a great run due to a kind set of fixtures, and also identifying weaker teams that can rotate well, i.e. when one team has a bad fixture t...[Read More]
Choosing a Fantasy Football Captain!
Choosing a Fantasy Football Captain! Is there an art to choosing a captain? Picture the scene… Its 11:20am Saturday morning and all is not well! The kids are buckled up in the car, the wife is stood at the front door jangling the car keys in your direction, her arms are folded and a single stream of muffled gibberish is filling the air. The dog sits, whimpering at your feet as you are sat in front of the computer sweating profusely, it senses your despair. Its decision time – Lukaku-Walcott, Walcott-Lukaku, or maybe Baines?? Sound familiar?? It’s a simple enough question and one we...[Read More]
Analysing Manchester City
Analysing Manchester City Despite winning the league last season, with the most potent attack and the 2nd best defence in the division it perhaps comes as somewhat of a surprise to see that their players have to date not proved more popular when it comes to selecting our initial FPL squads. Why is this the case? Unfortunately we don’t have the answer to this particular question, but obviously there are a number of mitigating factors, such as the late return of a number of their players following the World Cup, their difficult start to the season as well as a number of additions to the squad wh...[Read More]
Fantasy Premier League Set Piece Takers 2014-15
Fantasy Premier League Set Piece Takers 2014-15 Ok then so we saw quite a few requests for an updated ‘Set-Piece takers’ list on the comments recently and it jogged our memory that we hadn’t done one and as ever we took notice and decided to take action. We had a quick look around the offices of FF247 and found Eddy and Flingy slumped in the corner playing cards and a light bulb came on! So suddenly Eddy became our roving reporter and was whisked around the world to see all of the pre-season friendlies he could manage in order to bring you the latest set-piece table, while we...[Read More]
Transfer round up Part 6
Transfer round up Part 6 Carl Jenkinson (DEF – 5.0) The story from the training ground is that when Jenkinson first heard the rumors about going to West Ham, he thought it was some classic good honest English banter. He was still laughing when he was taken down into East London and presented with his very own West Ham shirt. “OMG guys, you’ve even put my name on the back! Wait, you look a lot like Fat Sa… Oh sh*t.”. The writing was probably on the wall when Debuchy signed. The writing was firmly underlined when Chambers rocked up at London Colney. So what now for young Jenkinson? Based o...[Read More]
