MERSEY PARADISE – IT’S BEEN EMOTIONAL

As I pen this blog I’m struggling to start it with anything other than a heartfelt thanks to Chris & Pete for all their work and effort in making our FFUK Odysseys all the more engaging and interesting. It’s a testament to what they do that there are people in this league who I call […]

END OF SEASON DO – UPDATE

WHEN: SATURDAY 3rd JUNE 2017 – 6pm Start WHERE: THE WHITE BEAR, RICKMANSWORTH FFUKers – With the end of the season now very close, our attention turns to the 2nd End of Season Party. We would love for you to join us. HAVE YOU RSVP’d YET? This invite is for anyone and everyone in the FFUK league and […]

NICK JOHNS – EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW

Yes FFUKers we have an exclusive for you, something a little bit special, and it’s perfectly timed with DGW34 looming very large on our radars. Like us you’ve probably spent the last couple of days studying Boro attackers and Palace defenders, (is this really what it’s come to?) so thank FFUK, Nick Johns has stepped […]

IRRATIONAL IS RATIONAL

The clock’s ticking. There’s only a handful of games left. It’s that time of the season when it makes perfect sense to go irrational. I mean you could play it safe. But unless you’re a certain Nick Johns, sitting on top of your unattainable tower of fantasy points, bathing in pure footballing acumen, where’s the […]

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 […]

END OF SEASON DO – SAVE THE DATE

The end of the season is fast approaching and in the midst of blank gameweeks and doubles to come, our thoughts also turn to the Summer. What will we do with ourselves in the off season? What’s worse is that there is no major tournament for us to get our fantasy fix from this year… […]

FOOTBALL INDEX – Stay ahead of the curve. Reap the rewards.

One of the key aspects of being a good fantasy football player is to be proactive rather than reactive. Spotting a player’s potential and getting on them before they start doing the business on the pitch. You buy them cheap. They score a few goals – and bag you the points – and then everyone […]

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 […]

TRANSFER HITS. DON’T BEAT YOURSELF UP?

2017 is upon us. And with every New Year, so follows the New Year’s resolutions. Between all the losing weight, stopping smoking and cutting back on the Monday morning sambucas before work, it wouldn’t be a major surprise if one or two of the fantasy football addicts amongst us had challenged themselves to cut back […]

CAPTAIN FANTASTIC

Captain picks are arguably the most crucial part of FPL and they provide us with the biggest and most tormenting gamble each and every gameweek. You can get lucky and pick Sanchez in GW14 where he scored 23 points (46 points to you lucky FFUKers that captained him) or get unlucky and pick Aguero in GW8 where […]
