Pottys Predictions Competition – FPL Fantasy Football Premier League
Welcome to another weekend of manic fun here at Pottys Bookies. After the midweek Champions League Comp its back to what we know best – the Premiership.
But first let’s have a recap of the past 7 days here at Pottys.
Last weekend saw my takings increase as 34 of you came through the door plus a dodgy looking South African who has now received a ban but as we all know bans can be broken!!
So with 4 games to predict last week, all were low scoring affairs. A 1-1 draw at the Hawthorns followed by a late winner for Newcastle in a 1-0 home win gave us a Potty Winner whose whole family are delighted with his achievement and it went to…….
PEAKY DAVE…..PEAKY DAVE…..well done mate.
Next up was Tuesday night and the Champions League, a new Comp was unveiled the “6 a side Hotshot’s” and those involved will vouch for one thing, it was eventful to say the least!
The Real Madrid super show in Germany had one FF247 poster dancing round his Bombastic stereo to the vibes of No Limits by 2 Unlimited as Bale’s brace gave him a Potty Prize and the winner was……
TECKNO………. TECKNO……..super effort buddy.
So onto this Weekends Competition.
“Midfield Maestro’s”
Based on your own Fantasy Football knowledge here we go.
1=Pick 5 Midfielders.
2=From one of the 4 teams below or a selection from them,your choice.
3=Highlight a Captain = (cpt).
4=Winner is the FF247 poster with the most points after Bps are added.
5=The matches are below but its the team in BLOCK CAPITALS that you must select from.
6=Simple ain’t it???
The Matches are…..
HULL CITY v newcastle utd
stoke city v ARSENAL
SWANSEA v crystal palace
TOTTENHAM v cardiff city
Post your selection’s below thanks.
Another thing, all Potty Punters may enter any Competition as many times as one wishes to do so.
Pottys Plonker of the Week – the Euphoria of winning his first Potty prize led this FF247 poster to enter the “6 a side Hotshot’s” Comp, great I hear you all cry??? But he named 3 Chelsea men amongst his selection’s but sadly Chelsea were not in the team list so…….PEAKY DAVE is Pottys Plonker of the Week.
Can both Tekno and Peakydave e-mail FF247 with your home addresses please – contact@fantasyfootball247.co.uk
Thanks all for tuning in.

Morning cookster, all well with you ? Lets start with an easy one this morning :- name the countries that have won the world cup on their own soil. :thumbup:
Morning Elle, how you going ? Happy Friday mate! Love Fridays.
right…I won’t be good at this one.
France, England, Brazil, Uruguay ?
Not sure about that lot. but at least 2 are right!!
Cookie, england, france + uruguay correct, just for you theres 3 more to get.
jeez 3 more!!
Germany, Argentina must be 2. Hungary ?
Cooks, germany + argentina yip, go on get the last one.
Italy ?
Cookie, star pupil again, tip-top form mate. Go to harrys autistic group this morning, so i will leave you with these posers for now :-
Q1, name the 5 players affiliated to the manchester clubs in englands 1982 world cup finals squad ?
Q2′ name the 6 players to wear the number 7 shirt for liverpool in the premiership era ?
Q3, name the teams in the premiership, championship + leagues 1+2, to have at least 2 words in their name, but no one else has that name, eg aston villa.
Cheers cookster, hope you understand Q3, catch up with you later on, have a good morning mate. :dance:
you too Elle, hope this morning goes well mate….how am I supposed to write Team Talk with all these questions ?
ahhh sod Team Talk this is more fun!
Cookie, heres the teamtalk :- pick someone who might get a game for the next two weeks. :big-lol: bye for now.
Yeah I like it Elle.
Right this is my best shot:
Q1 – Coppell, Robson, Wilkins, Corrigan, Barnes?
Q2 – Liverpool no.7’s…gonna struggle here (for obvious reasons) as I did with Leeds y’day…but i’ll stab at: Gerrard, Redknapp, Clough, Smicer, Berger, Barmby ? don’t think I’ve done well there…
Q3 – not sure how many there are, but here goes: Aston Villa, Tottenham Hotspur, QPR, Nottingham Forest, Charlton Athletic (?), Dagenham & Redbridge, Crewe Alexandra, Leyton Orient, Crystal Palace, Accrington Stanley, Port Vale, Preston North End, MK Dons, AFC Bournemouth (?!). Can’t think of any more mate…..
Cookie, athletics wrong, theres oldham.
Oh yeah, of course….how’d I do with the others ? My Liverpool ones were rubbish I think, but who cares, its only Liverpool :hippo:
Cookie, barnes was wrong, it was trevor francis, pool number 7’s, clough, mcmanaman, smicer, kewell, keane + our fav pts scorer goofy. Don’t know about Q3 as i havn’t looked myself yet, get back to you later on that one.
Who is the best to take over from Ya Ya Toure for the next 2 weeks ( I have Hazard and Lallana )
read the Tips article, my friend – some lovely suggestions in there, just for you.
Brady (Hull Tigers)
Ozil (Arsenal Earthquakes)
Wilshire (Arsenal Earthquakes)
De Guzman (Swansea Sounders)
(cpt) Lennon!! (Tottenham Timbers)
Oh crap. Brady’s probably not gonna make it for tomorrow’s game. Okay, here’s my remixed, and final version.
Huddlestone (Hull Tigers)
Ozil (Arsenal Earthquakes)
Wilshire (Arsenal Earthquakes)
De Guzman (Swansea Sounders)
(cpt) Lennon!! (Tottenham Timbers)
Bryan, I’m making my MLS team, but it’s a bit hard without knowing the players! Could I have a bit of advice about how I should get it together? How is your team balanced (how much have you spent on GK defence midfield and attack)?
Veer, Bryan has kindly written an MLS tips article for us all. It will be published once we have got this weeks FPL out of the way. One headache at a time!
Yeah, despite my planning for the ‘mini’ GW on the horizon, it’s only just dawned on me how much more tinkering is needed to get decent DGW coverage the fortnight after! I just hope I don’t have another ‘mare like last weekend. *shudder*
Veer, the article is ideal for new managers who want to get to grips with who the main guys are. (See Init? That marketing course wasn’t for nowt! 😉 )
As for team balance, I’m weighing it towards def and mid, like last year. But I still need to do a lot of changing. My squad has too many 4.0 question marks in it. And before you say anything Init, yes yes, I guess I should probably do an article on that at some point!!!
Japanese Bryan…..
Mixes???????
Who do you think you are??????
Large Girl Thin? Right here Right now

Potty, I remember when he was in The Housemartins.
Ok, I’ll leave the DJ’ing to you in future. I have to praise you like I should.
(Btw, for the first few weeks after that track came out, I genuinely thought the lyrics were ‘Praise you like a shoe’, which incidentally I prefer.)
Ah but for a bonus point; what was Mr Slim doing in heaven?! 😉
Alex… am I allowed to Google “Fatboy Slim in Heaven”?
Should we use an uppercase ‘g’ when we use it as a verb, or is it like when we ‘FedEx’ something? Maybe I should just……. oh yeah.
