Jonny Evans missed Manchester United's 2-1 loss at Old Trafford against Manchester City on Monday with a hamstring complaint, but has been back in training this week and is in contention for Manchester United's trip to Stoke this weekend. Evans ... Continue reading →
I think Norwich were incredibly unlucky to lose 1-0 at Wigan last weekend and to draw 1-1 at Sunderland the gameweek prior to that. The team is on a pretty poor run only 1 win in their last 14 ... Continue reading →
The business end of the season is upon us. And since we started off the season with a bang courtesy of the then 0.4% owned Arouna Kone,who delivered 11 fantasy points (1 goal, 1 assist, 2 bonus points) against Everton ... Continue reading →
With so many mid-priced midfielders out of action due to injury, we set our sights on a potential short-term 5th midfielder FPL candidate as our Funny Feeling Friday selection. First, let's take a look at a few of the mid-priced ... Continue reading →
QPR will find it nearly impossible to survive in the Premier League, but Harry Redknapp's men took one small step to safety with a 2-1 away win last time out against Southampton. Can they beat the teams around them and ... Continue reading →

The title of this post could be "Fantasy Forgotten," rather than "Funny Feeling Friday," but let's take a look at the former Arsenal and Manchester City striker and current Tottenham forward Emmanuel Adebayor. With Jermain Defoe still struggling with an ... Continue reading →
From the blog that brought you, "Raheem Sterling is just 4.5M in the FPL and classified as a midfielder, if he continues to earn regular starts, he could be the bargain buy of the season," at the start of the ... Continue reading →
Norwich failed in their public pursuit of Celtic striker Gary Hooper and Grant Holt remains as the club's top striker. Has his confidence been shatteredthough after the speculation that he would be allowed to leave the club? Who knows. ... Continue reading →
Newcastle are struggling. Last year's Premier League success story, they're going in the opposite direction this time around. Demba Ba has been sold to Chelsea. Fabricio Coloccini is homesick.Alan Pardew's men are only 2 points above the relegation zone. That ... Continue reading →
It's our last Funny Feeling Friday selection for 2012. Let's hope we make it worthwhile. Though I've been leaning towards selecting one of Swansea's cheap midfielders Pablo Hernandez (5.9m and 0.3% owned) or Jonathan de Guzman (5.7m and 0.7% owned) ... Continue reading →
Everton could find the going tough over the coming few weeks without their star Marouane Fellaini who is out with a 3 game suspension and with creative attacker Kevin Mirallas also out of action due to a hamstring ... Continue reading →
Stoke are a team that don't score mant goals but that won't stop us from selecting Peter Crouch as our Funny Feeling Friday this weekend. Crouch has not scored in the league since September and despite scoring 10 league ... Continue reading →
As Fantasy Premier League managers glance in Sunderland's direction this weekend the focus is surely on potential big name acquisitions like Sessgnon, Fletcher, Larsson, and Johnson. But there's one man lurking in the shadows cheap, out of form, ... Continue reading →
A more obvious selection this weekend for our Funny Feeling Friday but still worthy of mentioning. While Juan Mata (17% owned) and Eden Hazard (37% owned) began the season as world-beaters and are still Top 5 FPL midfield selections ... Continue reading →
Our Funny Feeling Friday column always looks at an underrated, out of form, or unpopular (from a fantasy football ownership percentage) player and tips him to turn in some noteworthy performances over the coming weeks. That said, we almost never ... Continue reading →
Here's a player who has scored just 15 points this season in the official Fantasy Premier League game. Yup, just 15. Everton's defensive minded Phil Neville has scored more points. We're on gameweek 11 here, folks... But that said, we ... Continue reading →
Chelsea may have lost at home last weekend against Manchester United, but the Blues are still top of the Premier League and with news that star playmaker Juan Mata could be rested against Swansea with a hamstring complaint- the ... Continue reading →
Was very close to selecting Darren Bent as the FFF this weekend after all, the former Aston Villa captain has seen his FPL price plummet to 8M and is owned by just 1% of fantasy managers. But instead we'll ... Continue reading →
Amidst all of the talk about high priced midfielders suffering injuries (David Silva), or leading the league in fantasy points (Eden Hazard, Santi Cazorla, or Gareth Bale) we seem to have let one of the greatest FPL assets of the ... Continue reading →
West Ham's Andy Carroll is only owned by 0.4% of fantasy managers, and I have this sneaky feeling that he'll score in one of his next two games [both at home] against Arsenal and Southampton but let's leave ... Continue reading →
We are on quite the Funny Feeling Friday roll we picked Steven Fletcher back in August and he's exploded for Sunderland, while Dimitar Berbatov also produced a massive score after his selection in the FFF column. Shane Long ... Continue reading →
West Brom started the season well but were outclassed at Craven Cottage last weekend falling 3-0 at Fulham. With Peter Odemwingie suspended, it will be up to the likes of Shane Long [6m] and Romelu Lukaku [6.5m] to carry ... Continue reading →
Liverpool's Sterling [1.6% owned] and West Brom's Lukaku [3% owned] impressed me greatly last
weekend, and though they've been on the tip of my tongue all week, we've instead gone with
Sunderland's Steven Fletcher as our Funny Feeling Friday selection ... Continue reading →
QPR were embarrassed 5-0 last weekend against Swansea. And The Hoops are on the road again, this
time at Norwich. That's the bad news. The good news? Norwich kept only 3 clean sheets at Carrow
Road last season, and conceded ... Continue reading →
It's the last "Funny Feeling Friday" of the season. This season brought you some of the greatest
ever calls including Peter Odemwingie in February, and many others as chronicled by our
spelling-challenged friends and followers on Twitter: @NickyButt with his ... Continue reading →
Tim Cahill is a former FPL legend. But this season, in over 2,200 minutes he's scored just 2 goals.
2 goals. Cahill's previous 3 seasons brought a return of 25 league goals. He was Everton's main man
up ... Continue reading →
An injury prone season from one of the Premier League's best ever players leaves him just 2% owned
by fantasy managers. 2% owned. With a double gameweek and penalty and free kick duties, I think
Gerrard is good for ... Continue reading →
Manchester United looked poor against Wigan in a shocking 1-0 loss this week but that won't stop us
from selecting one of the Premier League's best ever players as our Funny Feeling Friday selection.
Paul Scholes is owned by only ... Continue reading →
He's been replaced as a fantasy "budget darling," in the midfield months ago. He doesn't have a
goal or an assist in 12 starts! 12 starts! Not since 2011 has Stoke's Jonathan Walters provided
decent fantasy returns. But that won't ... Continue reading →
I always had my sights set on an Everton player this weekend, as they'll want to go into their FA
Cup semifinal clash with Liverpool on a high so I expect them to come out firing looking for some
... Continue reading →
Sunderland went down 0-2 at Blackburn midweek so spirits can't be high, but that won't stop us from
selecting striker Fraizer Campbell as our Funny Feeling Friday. Campbell has just one league goal
this season a season that's been ... Continue reading →
Without sounding too arrogant (it is difficult I must admit after a string of good FFF calls this
season), our Peter Odemwingie selection a month ago was one of our best of all time, so we've
decided to return to Roy ... Continue reading →
Was always saving this one up for our Funny Feeling Friday this weekend. An absolute "no-brainer"
when it comes to Funny Feelings those 'unpopular,' 'underrated,' or 'out of form' players that we
think will shine against all odds. Drenthe ... Continue reading →
Back in August we tipped Aston Villa's Gabby Agbonlahor as our Funny Feeling Friday and he didn't
disappoint. Â It was the second game of the Premier League season, Aston Villa were held to a
scoreless draw in their first ... Continue reading →
I was leaning towards VDV at Arsenal through a penalty or free kick, or even Jonas at home against
Wolves, but I decided to go against the grain and select an oldie but goodie as our Funny Feeling
Friday: Didier ... Continue reading →
