Sunday Review Gameweek 21 – FPL Fantasy Premier League
Newcastle 0-2 Man City In the early Sunday game sponsored by “Specsavers” Newcastle will feel rightly aggrieved after losing this engrossing encounter that saw City move to the top of the Premier League. Edin Dzeko gave the away side the lead in the 8th minute when the brilliant Aleksander Kolarov broke down the left and sent in a fine cross that was met by the Bosnian striker who tucked the ball into the net beyond Tim Krul. But the main talking point, and yet another diabolical refereeing decision, occurred in the 33rd minute when Cheick Tiote scored what should have been a thumping 30 yard ...[Read More]
Tips Gameweek 21 FPL Fantasy Premier League
So Christmas and the New Year have come and gone for another twelve months and with them the crazy period that saw us all face 4 game-weeks in a ten day period. For many it was a successful time as they stormed up the rankings, while for others, it was a torrid time which forced them to turn to the turkey sandwiches to find some solace. We have now moved into another extremely important period as we all have the opportunity to tinker extensively with our teams using the January wildcard. Whether you have already activated the wildcard or whether you are holding onto it for a week or two we fee...[Read More]
Captains Picks Gameweek 21 FPL Fantasy Premier League
This game-week’s captaincy choice promises to be an interesting and maybe even problematic conundrum. With injuries to popular candidates Sergio Aguero, RvP and now also Theo Walcott, as well as an ongoing groin problem for Wayne Rooney, there will be some difficult decisions to be made this week. In most cases, the default option for the majority of managers would probably be to hand the armband to Luis Suarez, but we feel there are a number of interesting and viable alternatives to the Liverpool striker. While there are usually just three or four viable candidates for captain in any given we...[Read More]
The Differentials – FPL Fantasy Premier League
While most Fantasy Football mini-league battles are usually decided on the big issues such as captain choices over the course of the season, sometimes the closer battles are won by one under-utilised element: the differential. The differential is the player that is uncommon in the vast majority of teams, and has the potential to give you those additional points – even just the odd cheeky goal or clean sheet – that will see you steadily rising up the overall rankings and in your mini-leagues. It’s maybe not the player you bank on, on a game-weekly basis but rather when the time arises and...[Read More]

As the taste of turkey fades, the Yuletide mist dissipates, and we come to terms with the damage we’ve done to our wallets, our waistlines, and in some cases our reputations… Welcome to our FantasyFootball 247 Leagues round up – including our first Monthly Hall of Fame inductee! The Season League Well, a rapid and at times fairly crazy few game weeks have passed since we last checked in on our leader board, (a mere two real world weeks ago!) but some things in life can be relied upon. We’re not referring to Potty’s fleeting relationship with reality, nor the fact that Mito may be the most conn...[Read More]

Fixtures Analysis FPL Fantasy Premier League GW21
FAVOURABLE FIXTURES ARSENAL – Aston Villa (A), Fulham (H), Southampton (A), Crystal Palace (H) Arsenal go into the New Year top of the pile and while it is a slender lead the upcoming fixtures give them every opportunity to remain there for the foreseeable future. Villa should be eminently winnable for them despite it being on the road and their other trip sees them visit Southampton which may be harder but those are the games you really need to be winning if you are serious title contenders. The two home fixtures see them face a Fulham side fresh from a pasting at Hull so that should be easy ...[Read More]
