GW36 REVIEW – BITTERSWEET

I was sitting on Friday night watching Spurs throw away their title challenge, thinking ‘this is a bittersweet symphony, Tottenham have bottled it, sweet for Chelsea, but I’m a bit bitter about Kane, Eriksen, and Alli all bloody blanking!’ In all fairness, it was pretty much Sky that had created the Spurs title challenge, Chelsea […]

IT’s BUSINESS TIME – PART 2

As you will know from the previous It’s Business Time article, it is business time. And this is, It’s Business Time Part 2. So let’s get straight to Business. After taking a quick look at the Top 10, and a round up of the cups, I’ll also have a look at the other remaining prizes, […]

GW34 REVIEW – BLINDED

So Chris has taken a well deserved rest this week. Somewhere in the world Chris is sitting surrounded by spreadsheets, scraps of paper, empty cans, a full ashtray, half-full Haribo mixtures. Yes, he’s on his wildcard, and I just hope he’s ok. Anyway, I better get on with the review. Why do we all feel […]

GW 30 REVIEW – FRUSTRATION

The gameweek following an international break is often a frustrating affair, and Gameweek 30 proved to be just so. For our FPL teams, the average score this week was a measly 28 points, while for the Top 50 of the FFUK league the average score sits at a very average 52 points. In fact, 27 of […]

BUSINESS TIME – PART 1

It’s been a strange international break for me. On what was a classic FPL weekend for me in GW29, I promised wife that ‘next weekend, I would do whatever she wanted to do’, safe in the knowledge that there was no Premier League on (aren’t I clever). The problems started last Friday, Reeves and Mortimer were […]

MARCH CUPDATE

Now while I’m not sure how many are now following the Cups, I assure you that for many, the Cups will prove to be season defining. It could be said that different tactics can apply in the cups, as ultimately round on round, we are up against just one other person, and at this stage […]

FEBRUARY CUPDATE – RESULTS

What a month in the Cups! February was a vicious month and the bite was felt by many players in the final gameweek. There was a real range of scores, which meant that cup fixtures swung heavily in GW26, and as a few crept through quietly, for others explosions and implosions settled Quarter final hopes. […]

FEBRUARY CUPDATE

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome. It’s mid-round in the FFUK Cup and the Challenge Cup but this weekend, due to the FA Cup, we all get a break from Fantasy Football. I say a break, but it’s merely a brief pause, while we get a chance to assess our players prior to GW26, when four teams […]

JANUARY CUPDATE – 64 Teams

64 Teams, 32 Fixtures. Well Gameweek 23 really seemed like a funny way of ending a riotous FPL month and some fantastic fixtures in both the FFUK Cup and the Challenge Cup. There were some incredibly tight fixtures and the final gameweek saw a number of teams using their bench boosts to ensure they made […]

PROBING THE TOP 10

Right guys, we are here, Gameweek 20, the year is 2017 and we are over halfway through the 2016/17 Premier League season. This means we are also halfway through the FPL season, and therefore halfway through the FFUK season. The media often looks at whether the team who is top at Christmas goes on to […]
