As we know Christmas means a lot of things to a lot of people, family, presents, food and wine, Cliff Richard and Jesus too. For us at FFUK it means all these things of course, but it means something else too, with enough stuffing to fill a giant turkey and crackers bigger than Luke Shaw’s […]

Last Gameweek was a riot yeah? Not really. In fact, on a week that saw Kolarov and Kevin de Bruyne rested for Man City, virtually every squad in the Top 20 was tested. It seems that increasingly, and especially through busy December, team selection is going to make or break a gameweek, if not a […]

Why does it all feel so quiet? What has happened? There was football on last weekend, there is football on this weekend, and there has been European matches through the week. So why so quiet? In this strange season seemingly anything could happen. Leicester are top of the league, Watford are 10th and Chelsea are […]

Whoa! What a ride! Well that’s it, that’s the first round of the FFUK Cup, done and dusted! Did you enjoy it? Did you come out battered and bruised or bloodied but victorious? Maybe you were one of the few that walked away from the first round with your tail wagging like a wind carrot […]

(Please note – current league placings are noted in brackets – all points scores refer to current monthly score for November). As you will all know, there are no ‘easy’ cup games and anything can happen! Yes, there are games that ‘should’ be won – we would expect Chelsea to comfortably beat Stoke in any […]

It’s Sunday night, in the middle of the international break. I’m broken. I’m devoid. I’m listless. I have not an ounce of inspiration left in me. There was an option of watching the second leg of the Norway v Hungary Euro qualifier just to make me feel normal but I went for the film, John […]

It was a strange week for bonuses. In a week with relatively few goals, seven goalscorers earned 0 bonus points, Cahill and Barkley both scored but were in defeated sides. Lamela and Johnson both scored in high scoring games (Pantillimon beat Johnson to the bonus with his 8 saves), Mane scored a crucial equaliser but […]

After a strong week in Gameweek 8 I had a bit of a downturn in Gameweek 9. I was on 5 points at half-time on Saturday. And I made two hits that failed. Thanks to the glorious Jamie Vardy and Dimitri Payet’s late goals I finished the week on 59 points but dropped four places […]

Ladies and gentlemen, the moment you have all been waiting for…. Welcome to the FFUK Cup and Challenge Cup! For full Cup Rules please refer to the rules tab on the homepage. For those that were in the FFUK league last season you will know that we run a Cup through the season with prizes. […]

And after everything I said about chips I then didn’t play my All Out Attack this weekend. Instead I fielded exactly the same defence as gameweek 6 and found that the same four defenders that were injured / dropped last week were injured / dropped again. Kompany was still injured, Targett has now been replaced […]
