We here at Fantasy Football First strongly believe that the key to success in FPL is foresight, planning and research, research, research. We provide the avid Fantasy Premier League Manager with articles to help plan for next season including transfer news, player profiles, team strategies, interviews with the experts and more besides.
After a powerful display against Barcelona on Tuesday, Manchester City players are the most popular choices on FPL market this week. And I don’t mean Kevin De Bruyne. On the other hand, Tottenham’s declining form has spurred almost 100,000 managers into getting rid of Son. Should we follow suit? As usual, VanDan and Wallace share their opinions on the players everyone’s talking about. Continue reading
Once again midweek Champion’s League matches were contested by Manchester City, Arsenal, Tottenham, and Leicester. Be aware of who took part and may be rested, who was kept out and if there were any injuries. Following this weekend there is another International Break. So make hay while the sun shines. Continue reading
This week in Talking Points we look at what to look out for in game week 10 to be prepared for the early game week 11 transfer. We look at the teams with a good run of games and the teams with a tough run of games, and we consider the implications of last weekend’s formation changes and if these will be repeated this weekend. All the while we chat about this weekend’s action in our comments section. Continue reading

“You pays your money, and you takes your choice”. This old saying has so much relevance when applied to predicting football scorelines. The prediction game isn’t a true science; it’s more akin to Alchemy or the dark arts. But each week an attempt is made to bring this art under control. Continue reading
The top teams only keep an average of 1 clean sheet for every 3 games. Yet Spurs are on 5 clean sheets in 9 games, Arsenal and Chelsea are on 4 in 9, and Leicester City, Bournemouth and West Ham on 3 in 9. Indeed, with 9 clean sheets in one game week, those who have spent wisely on their defense have certainly been the beneficiaries of this weekend’s FPL action demonstrating you don’t always need to spend big on attack. Continue reading
It looks like the midfield line is what worries fantasy managers the most this week. The rise of Allen and Walcott and the decline of Capoue and Antonio has forced some managers to already make their transfers. However, before you make your final decision whether to jump a bandwagon or stick with underperformers, read the Van’s and Wallace’s verdicts. Continue reading
Stoke City are the focus of this week’s article and there’s a lot of things that I want to look at. I want to focus briefly on why Joe Allen is doing well, look at their other key attacking players including Arnautovic and Shaqiri, assess their defensive chances and then look at their next opponents to try and draw some conclusions about Stoke’s FPL chances over the next set of gameweeks. Continue reading
The door is slowly closing on our second year playing MLS fantasy, but it is being kept slightly ajar by the inclusion of a Bracket Challenge. Thanks to Secret Zorro we have a league to join that will enable us to choose the outcomes of the various matchups leading up to the Championship. It will also be a forum for banter among all those who participate. Check the site for the Web address, league name, and password. Continue reading
Each week we partner with the excellent Fanfeud to produce the “fantasy football weekly” podcast. This week we discuss if the FPL is fickle as Stoke go from zero to superhero in two games; if after 10 years at Arsenal, is it finally time to think of Walcott; has Charlie Austin reported in for duty; and are Hull a little rubbish or a lot rubbish. We also check out the RMT Bot’s team in the Elite 50 game for October. Continue reading

We look at the teams with a good run of games and the teams with a tough run of games, and we consider the implications of last weekend’s formation changes and if these will be repeated this weekend.
