GW8 REVIEW – black and white town

WELCOME TO THE GW8 REVIEW BLACK AND WHITE TOWN Here comes the action Here it comes at last Lord give me a reaction Lord give me a chance I don’t know if an opening verse could better sum up my anticipation of FPL’s return after an international break. As is usually the case, this international break didn’t arouse me much. Scotland […]

COUNTDOWN TO KICK OFF – PP90 RE RE-VISITED

Now then FFUKers, as the start of the season approaches I thought I’d revisit a pair of articles I wrote a few years back so see if last year’s data can throw up any cheeky gems for our GW1 team. For a reminder of the previous article click here The theme is “PP90”, which is […]

GW15 REVIEW – LET THERE BE HAUSE

WELCOME TO THE GW15 REVIEW – LET THERE BE HAUSE In the beginning, there was Jack, and Jack had a groove. And from this groove came the groove of all grooves. 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 […]

COUNTDOWN TO KICK OFF: Fixtures vs Quality

Now then FFUKers, the opening Premier League fixture might still be five weeks away, but the player list was released last week so it’s time to start thinking about who should be in your initial squad. You obviously want to pick the players you think will score you the most points – simple, eh? But […]

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 […]

JDS v SHED SEVEN – GETTING BETTER

Now then FFUK-ers, after a bit of banter on the WhatsApp group about Shed Seven I thought I’d do a mini series of articles in their honour (mainly to irritate Bakes!!). Watch out for other potential Shed Seven-based articles over the coming weeks (if I can be arsed) such as: High Hopes: a look at […]

PP90 Revisited

Now then FFUK-ers, I was looking at the FPL stats last night and ended up deciding to write a brief follow-up article to my pre-season PP90 article, as I know you all love stats (well, at least a couple of you do). As a quick reminder, PP90 is ‘total points’ divided by ‘minutes played’, multiplied […]

COUNTDOWN TO KICK OFF: FIXTURES VS OVERALL QUALITY

When you’re picking your opening FPL squad for the start of the season you obviously want to pick the players that you think will score you the most points. But with a tight budget to work to there will inevitably have to be some compromises. So what are the other factors that you consider? Do […]
