The Premier League Returns… and so does FF247!
Welcome to The Premier League Returns… and so does FF247!
Guess who’s back, back again… with fresh hair cuts and strippers galore!
Yep, we’re back, we hope we are anyway…. Unless any more players test positive between now and June 17th, because… you know, they just absolutely had to get their hair cut. Or party with some strippers. Like we are sure we all have in lockdown….
Anyway, we just wanted to give you an update on both the key points from an FPL perspective but also from ours in terms of what to expect from us over the next few weeks.
FPL Changes
The main one here is that those of you who have been diligently (let’s face it boredly) making transfers each week to get your teams in the best possible shape for the return may find it was a fool’s errand as we all now have UNLIMITED transfers prior to the next deadline. Which is WEDNESDAY JUNE 17TH AT 5PM.
Rather than waffle on needlessly, here is what the Premier League state on their own site:
FF247 ARTICLES
What to expect.. not a lot in all honesty! But why? Here’s why…
FPL Fixtures
Other than the addition of an initial DGW the rest looks like it will pan out exectly as originally planned. At least for now. That is apart from GW31+ being reinstated in full, as opposed to it being a ‘blank’ ish one, as it was originally scheduled to be.
That initial DGW sees the addition of Aston Villa vs Sheffield United and Man City vs Arsenal as they begin the new regime on the Wednesday before the rest start over the following weekend. Our Fixture Tracker has been ammended accordingly but we would probably take our usual colour ranking with a pinch of salt right now as it is based on normal conditions and does definitely take into consideration some sort of home / away bias, and if the Bundesliga is anything to go by then that particular advantage is out the window. Especially as some of these games look like beieng played at neutral venues. Can’t even begin to imagine why. At least not without insulting most of Liverpool or Manchester…..
We may do an initial Fixtures article but beyond that the opportunity to provide any articles between GW’s will be tight, and limited at best.
FIXTURE TRACKER
This has been updated accordingly and now looks like this:
FIXTURE TRACKER LINK
Player Tips?
See the above, basically. Probably the best we can do here is to promise that your usual protagonists will be around in the comment section to help and advise where possible.
CAPOS
We intend to do one of these prior to ‘GW30+’, in fact it is already in hand. Beyond that though we can’t promise anything, again for the reasons stated above; literally no time.
FF247 Site Team
We shall continue to do our transfers and we will post those and our weekly Captain Picks in our Live Match Chat article as detailed below.
Live Match Chat
This will be posted prior to GW30+ and will have the usual stuff on it such as the deadline and the weekly fixtures picture, as well as the new addition of the FF247 Site Team info.
We don’t intend to post a new one prior to each GW, instead we shall do what we have done with Bundesliga and simply update the article each time a deadline passes with new info. Given that it will contain the aforementioned FF247 Site Team info it will be updated earlier than usual.
The games for GW30+in full…

***NEW ARTICLE***
We’re back………………………………………………………
IT’S BACK!
I hope everyone is well.
I was just wondering if anyone can confirm what will happen to if I use my FH? I think I made 1 transfer when the game was down if that makes any difference?
Also, can I make a couple of moves with my ‘Unlimited transfers’ and then FH or will it just revert those?
Cheers :popcorn:
I presume you can change your mind and free hit after making all the transfers. I have no idea on first question
+1
You do 1/2/3 whatever number of transfer, the moment you activate your FH, all those transfers will be counted as part of FH. As a result, your team will revert back to current Gw29 team (after 17th June, Gw30+ deadline).
You can’t use unlimited transfer and FH together.
GoalMachine,
A question. I did build a team I’m happy with over the many non-game weeks. I’d like to FH for GW30+, but I don’t understand which team I then get back for GW31+. Is it my current team, with no transfers for GW30+, or does the game go back to search for my GW29 team (thus eliminating the transfers I took from non-game weeks 30 to 38?
I am so glad FPL is back. But let’s face it, we are happier because we can finally leave that shite Bundesliga FF behind. Done and dusted hopefully. For good.
Ah.
Back to cursing Salah when Mane scores and he doesn’t.
Back to cursing TAA when he concedes, only to find he grabs an assist later and makes you look like a clown.
Back to Raz celebrating Mane goals publicly, when he actually owns Salah and is crying behind his couch, fooling us, only cause his team isn’t linked on the site.
Its all back guys. A virtual hug.
B, we are all very happy for the return of the FPL but I don’t understand what shite is about the Bundesliga fantasy game.
Quite frankly the points system and the whole structure of the game is fantastic and I as many others can’t wait for the new season :yes:
Missed this :rofl:
I agree with Ivan. Bundesliga scoring is much better than FPL and also the 3 transfers/week adds to flexibility, but also requires planning. In FPL, in the worst case you can take hits by additional transfers. In Bundesliga, you can’t do more than 3 in a Gw and there is no carry forward. It requires a different type of planning. Also, there is rolling transfer, which makes you more engaged. In FPL, 1 hour before match you are frozen and thats it. Then you do not even need to check the matches/lineups – which is good and bad both in some sense or other.
I actually am happy that I played FPL, FBL and FMLS – all 3 are unique in their own way. At the end of the day, its fun.
I will not convert so quit already!!
Are there three Arsenal players worth getting in for a week? Is Ozil even worth a punt?
No and no for me
Yeah I’m struggling to find three. Think I’ll take Auba and Leno. Nketiah might be worth a punt as he might be ahead of Lacazette in pecking order
It’s a trap!
im stressed out about it already!!!
who do i bring in, who do I ditch!!
We’re back baby!!!!!! :yahoo:
and alot of us have even more hair to pull out..lol
I haven’t hammers, i’m older and thinner on top. :big-lol:
