GW4 REVIEW – UNBELIEVABLE

WELCOME TO THE GW4 REVIEW – UNBELIEVABLE Ey up FFUKers! There’s really only one place to start this week – Liverpool’s 9-0 demolition of Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon. That score line didn’t break the Premier League record, so wasn’t quite unbelievable on its own. But the fact that Mo Salah (3) didn’t pick up a […]

COUNTDOWN TO KICK OFF – PP90 REVISITED

Now then FFUKers, here’s some last minute food for thought before tomorrow’s deadline. And don’t worry, I’ve kept it brief so you can get back to your tinkering I’ve written a few articles over the years on “PP90” and “PP90£” and thought I’d revisit these metrics with the current data to see if it threw […]

GW32 REVIEW – SHOUT TO THE TOP

GW31 REVIEW – FOOLS GOLD

WELCOME TO THE GW31 REVIEW – FOOLS GOLD Gold road’s sure a long roadWinds on through the hills for 15 days Ok, ok, so the international break wasn’t quite 15 days, but it’s always a miserable wait before we get back to the ‘gold’ of FPL. This time around FFUKers were heading into GW31 on […]

And while one day viciously throwing down on his box, Jack boldly declared “Let there be HAUSE!”. Okay, let’s get straight to this week’s […]

GW16 REVIEW – YAKETY SAX

Welcome to the GW16 REVIEW – YAKETY SAX Slapstick innuendo was commonplace in our household when me and our kid were growing up. No, our parents aren’t Sid James and Barbara Windsor. But we did watch a hell of a lot of Carry On, Dick Emery and Benny Hill. Those of you that have met […]

GW7 REVIEW – DISAPPOINTED

WELCOME TO THE GW7 REVIEW – DISAPPOINTED FPL can be a cruel game. Actually, perhaps that’s the key – if we thought of it as just a game where the outcome didn’t really matter, it definitely wouldn’t be as cruel. But to us FFUKers it’s more than just a game. Considering how cruel a game […]
