CHIPS CHIPS CHIPS

It’s been a long season with lots of ups and lots of downs. The end of the road is almost upon us but not before what could be THE season-defining gameweek. I thought at this point it would be worthwhile having a dig into who’s got what chips in the Top 50 and a bit […]

GW34 REVIEW – UNFORGETTABLE

Welcome to the GW34 REVIEW – UNFORGETTABLE Was it unforgettable for the right reasons or the wrong ones? This review will attempt to find the answers to questions just like this. There is a lot to discuss so let’s get to it but not before thanking the voice himself Nat King Cole for his song […]

END OF SEASON DO 2019

END OF SEASON DO We are buzzing to announce news of the FFUK END OF SEASON DO on SATURDAY 15th JUNE 2019! After last year’s success in London we thought we would keep it in the big city as it remains the easiest location for everyone to get to. THIS INVITATION IS OPEN TO EVERYONE IN […]

GW33 REVIEW – CONSIDERATION

This GW was all about CONSIDERATION. ‘Careful thought, typically over a period of time’. The season is long; there are no short-cuts. Managers, who have planned meticulously over the course of the campaign, were rewarded through the medium of plentiful points. As in life, unwise short-term (FPL) decision making can create long-term pain! And this […]

GW32 REVIEW – BRUTAL & BEAUTIFUL

Welcome to the G32 REVIEW – BRUTAL & BEAUTIFUL The first big double of the season. And it was certainly eventful. Depending on your situation it was either BRUTAL, BEAUTIFUL or a bit of both. For me it was, thankfully, more the latter as I smashed my way into the 100 club. But I wasn’t […]

PLAYER OWNERSHIP – FREE HIT EDITION

PLAYER OWNERSHIP – FREE HIT EDITION Welcome to the latest installment looking at player ownership within the FFUK league. It’s slightly different this time around, mainly because last week so many managers (85) decided to throw down the Free Hit chip. This, of course, proved to be a largely disappointing Blank GW31, as expertly reviewed […]

GW31 REVIEW – LEARN TO FLY

Welcome the GW31 REVIEW – Learn To Fly Another blank GW, this time just 5 fixtures for us to get to grips with and a shed load of Free Hit Chips were used in preparation. 85 in fact. We will discover a bit later whether anyone put theirs to good use. I was one of […]

GW30 – AHA!

That was the gameweek that was GW30. For me, the gameweek finished with a phttt.That’s the sound of a disappointing wet fart. After starting well came Sunday, Bloody Sunday, wiping out any gains I’d made the day before, and pretty frustrating. So, I was reminded of my mate Alan’s reference to no one’s favourite submarine […]

GW29 REVIEW – WHITE FLAG

Welcome to the GW29 REVIEW – WHITE FLAG Are you ready to hoist the metaphorical White Flag up the flag-pole? Neighbouring folk near Chateau-Allen thought I’d actually submit! The bed-sheet was out hanging half-mast on Monday morning; I am in mourning and I am close to throwing in the towel, but in reality, it needed airing, […]

GW28 REVIEW – RECOVER

Welcome to the GW28 REVIEW – RECOVER With Chris in Berlin I tentatively volunteered to do this GW28 review. I say tentatively, as I was in Germany myself last weekend and knowing how long it takes an old git like me to recover from a three-dayer I wasn’t sure if my head would be straight […]
