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 […]

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 […]

COUNTDOWN TO KICK OFF: PP90

I acknowledge that not everyone in the FFUK league will be as obsessed with FPL as I am. But based on the WhatsApp group I think it’s safe to say that at least a few of you are. So it’s a fair bet that as soon as the FPL player list is released (in the […]
