All the debate about how many players we can field for GW29 and how many double game-weekers we can muster for GW31 can be temporarily put on hold as we enjoy the action of GW28 and count all those lovely points as they roll in.

Tips, Gameweek 28…. and 29 – FPL Fantasy Football Premier League Well it has been quite a week in the world of Fantasy Football, albeit a strange one, as most of the big news and activity has been off the field of play as it has all been about two things.

Pottys Predictions Competition – FPL Fantasy Football Premier League Welcome to another weekend of manic fun here at Pottys Bookies.

Captain Picks Gameweek 28
Captain Picks Gameweek 28 – FPL Fantasy Football Premier League Those that captained Daniel Sturridge over Luis Suarez in GW27 were reminded how rewarding getting your skipper choice correct is – while those that stayed loyal to Suarez were again left frustrated not only at him, but also at their own gutless behaviour – me included! Well, GW28 will provide the same dilemma for many, but with a few more supporters for Sturridge, I suspect! But away to Southampton is not the easiest, so let’s go through all the standout options.
