PLAYER OWNERSHIP – FREE HIT EDITION

PLAYER OWNERSHIP – FREE HIT EDITION Welcome to the latest installment looking at player ownership within the FFUK league. It’s slightly different this time around, mainly because last week so many managers (85) decided to throw down the Free Hit chip. This, of course, proved to be a largely disappointing Blank GW31, as expertly reviewed […]

GW31 REVIEW – LEARN TO FLY

Welcome the GW31 REVIEW – Learn To Fly Another blank GW, this time just 5 fixtures for us to get to grips with and a shed load of Free Hit Chips were used in preparation. 85 in fact. We will discover a bit later whether anyone put theirs to good use. I was one of […]

GW30 – AHA!

That was the gameweek that was GW30. For me, the gameweek finished with a phttt.That’s the sound of a disappointing wet fart. After starting well came Sunday, Bloody Sunday, wiping out any gains I’d made the day before, and pretty frustrating. So, I was reminded of my mate Alan’s reference to no one’s favourite submarine […]

GW29 REVIEW – WHITE FLAG

Welcome to the GW29 REVIEW – WHITE FLAG Are you ready to hoist the metaphorical White Flag up the flag-pole? Neighbouring folk near Chateau-Allen thought I’d actually submit! The bed-sheet was out hanging half-mast on Monday morning; I am in mourning and I am close to throwing in the towel, but in reality, it needed airing, […]

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 […]

GW27 REVIEW – GET IT TOGETHER

Welcome to the GW27 REVIEW – GET IT TOGETHER Another blank GW has been and gone and for those owning too many Man City, Chelsea, Brighton or Everton assets it wasn’t going to be plain sailing. With 2 games on Friday night it all started early. My only interest was Felipe Anderson (2) who did […]

GW26 REVIEW – TRAGEDY

Welcome to the GW26 REVIEW – TRAGEDY As you may have guessed from the title of the review it didn’t exactly go well for me this week. And that is without even mentioning the absolute battering that Chelsea took at the hands of City on Super Sunday. I have been hanging on in recent weeks […]

GW25 REVIEW – KEEP ON MOVIN

Welcome to the GW25 REVIEW – KEEP ON MOVIN Our first double of the season and it was a polarizing one. For some it was glorious, points delivered, captain success, maybe even a well played chip used. For others it was less successful. Captain fails, rotation, captains not playing the first game then being hauled […]

PLAYER OWNERSHIP – REVISITED

PLAYER OWNERSHIP – REVISITED Nothing stays the same in FPL for very long. Teams find form. Fixtures swing. Opinions change. A month can be an especially long time in this game. So without another word wasted, padding out this meandering intro, let’s crunch the numbers and see the latest stats – the all-important player ownership […]

CUP FIXTURES RELEASED!

In the true spirit of all things FFUK, it’s only right to soundtrack this moment. For various reasons I’ve chosen the wise words of James Brown, because sometimes you gotta get down to get up. As always, congratulations to all who made it through in the cups, and commiserations to the unlucky ones amongst you. […]
