West Brom's Peter Odemwingie was last season's Fantasy Premier League surprise star. 15 goals
scored. 9 assists. 28 bonus points. Super. But the Nigerian has only scored 4 goals this season and
had one of the 'misses of the year' ... Continue reading →
The massive clash at Stamford Bridge this weekend could see Chelsea put out a back-four with two
new starters Ryan Bertrand at LB and Gary Cahill at CB. They could be joined by two of Luiz,
Ivanovic, and/or Bosingwa ... Continue reading →
He has yet to score for Everton in 3 starts for the club this month, but that won't stop us from
selecting American superstar Landon Donovan as our "Funny Feeling Friday," this weekend. Donovan is
owned by just 0.5% of ... Continue reading →
Luis Suarez is suspended as Liverpool take on Newcastle at Anfield today. Andy Carroll is the man
with the massive spotlight on him, and at 9.1M and owned by just 2% of fantasy managers, is a
'funny feeling' contender in ... Continue reading →
Fulham were scoreless last weekend at Swansea losing 2-0 to the newly promoted side, and have just
been knocked out of the Europa League in midweek. Not the best of times... The lack of goalscoring
form is clear, and ... Continue reading →
Besides the fact that the embedded YouTube video above has amazing background music (absolutely
amazing), that's not the only reason we're selecting Sunderland's unheard of striker Ji Dong-Won
as our Funny Feeling Friday this weekend. Hear us out... The 20-year-old wiry ... Continue reading

Joey Barton has been in the news for all the wrong reasons this week sending out tweets deemed
insensitive in the wake of Gary Speed's death but the 29-year old midfielder is our Funny Feeling
Friday selection this weekend ... Continue reading →
It's that time of the week. Take a player who is underrated, out of form, or unpopular (from a
fantasy footie perspective) and place him on a pedestal. Rejoice if he delivers. Criticize the
worthiness of the blog if he ... Continue reading →
It's not often we choose a defender for our Funny Feeling Friday column and it's certainly not
often when we choose one playing for a club that has kept just 1 clean sheet in their last 6 league
games, ... Continue reading →
Bolton have yet to win at home in the league. Yup, you read that right. They are winless at home.
They've lost 13 of their last 15 league games. 13 of 15! Losses! But we're still backing them to
pull ... Continue reading →
Wigan have lost six matches in a row. They haven't won since August. They've scored only 6 goals in
9 matches. Dreadful stuff. Just absolutely dreadful. But will that stop us from selecting one of
their least known players as ... Continue reading →
There are plenty of teams with better chances for a clean sheet this weekend but I'm going out on a
limb and selecting Arsenal's CB Laurent Koscielny as this week's Funny Feeling Friday despite all
of the injuries to Arsenal's ... Continue reading →
He hasn't scored a goal yet this season in 7 league starts. He hasn't picked up an assist yet this
season in 7 league starts. He's been stripped of the captaincy. Hell, he walked out on his own team
and ... Continue reading →
3 starts for Sunderland. Zero goals. Yup, Nicklas Bendtner, the on-loan striker from Arsenal who
thinks of himself as one of the world's best, has been anything but that this season. But that
won't stop us from backing him this ... Continue reading →
Sure, Swansea are coming off of a 3-0 victory and Chelsea just lost 3-1 in the league and then
failed to score in 120 minutes of football at home against Fulham on Wednesday in the Carling Cup.
Last year at ... Continue reading →
Gameweek 5 is nearly here. And it's Friday. You know what that means: Funny Feeling Friday. We take
a look at an "unpopular" (by fantasy ownership terms) or out of form Premier League footballer that
should break out in the ... Continue reading →
Three Funny Feeling Fridays down, 35 to go. We're 3-for-3 this season in "calling it," as Andy
Johnson (5), Gabriel Agbonlahor (10), and Hugo Rodallega (7) produced the goods against all odds
and against any ownership / interest levels from ... Continue reading →
With Wigan's new star (and Charles N'Zogbia replacement) Victor Moses rated at just 50/50 to play
this weekend with a groin injury, I had to look elsewhere for a 'Funny Feeling Friday' selection. I
was always planning on going with ... Continue reading →
Watched 5-6 Premier League games this weekend and the highlights for all the others, and here are a
few thoughts on the Fantasy Premier League today for your consumption and usage focusing on the
Sunday matches: First my ... Continue reading →
Our Funny Feeling Friday this weekend is Aston Villa's Gabriel Agbonlahor. Last week, we went with
another cheaply priced forward Andy Johnson at Fulham and the 5.5M rated forward did not
disappoint. Though he was only owned by ... Continue reading →
Lots of FFF options to start the season. I was strongly considering going with Tom Cleverley or
Anderson as one or both should start at CM for Manchester United this weekend against West Brom and
both are super cheap ... Continue reading →
Arsenal are still fighting for 3rd and have a massive game at Fulham this weekend but don't count
the Gunners out even without the injured Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri. Arsenal have the best away
form in the league, ... Continue reading →
Do you need some inspiration? Do you need to catch your mini-league leader? Well, you need to take
some risks... So here's one: Fernando Torres. Torres is in worse form than Lampard. He's in worse
form than Malouda. And ... Continue reading →
This spot is reserved for a player who is unpopular (in fantasy footie ownership terms), under the
radar, or just out of form. Frankly, we could have chosen Robbie Keane or Carlton Cole, but I went
with Demba Ba because ... Continue reading →
Sunderland are at home this weekend against Fulham without a fit striker in their first team.
That's the bad news. The good news? Fulham have been poor on their travels this season. No Gyan. No
Welbeck. No Frazier Campbell. All ... Continue reading →
I must have a soft spot for Martin Petrov, Bolton's Bulgarian winger, as this is not the first, not
the second, but the third time he is featured as FFF selection: Here's why. Petrov is owned by only
1% of ... Continue reading →
This one is a big risk, but hear me out. Yes Arsenal take on Liverpool and Tottenham this week two
sides who can score. Two very diffficult sides to keep clean sheets against. Yes Johan Djourou has
been out ... Continue reading →
You won't buy him, I'm sure of it just like you didn't buy Sylvan Ebanks-Blake last weekend, but he
could certainly score, just as SEB did and prove the doubters wrong... Again, major caveat here:
This is a HUNCH ... Continue reading →
If you can afford Caroll or Zamora as your third strikers at 6.0 million go for it... If you need
to scrape the budget options sub 5M options I may just have your main man. Wolves star ... Continue

I don't really need to write much about this lad. Over the past year he's proven himself to be one
of the best Fantasy Premier League players around. He's cheap as chips (6.9M) and hasn't started in
the league since ... Continue reading →
Here you go. A strange one. I rarely like selecting "defensive minded" midfielders in fantasy
football, but let's make an exception. Jack Wilshere is far from a Mascherano or a Makelele. He has
superb technique and with Cesc Fabregas out ... Continue reading →
I must admit we've been on a poor run of Funny Feeling Friday selections in 2011 after a banner
year in 2010, but let's see if we can get back on track with an oldie but goodie. Remember, this
column ... Continue reading →
Can you believe that one of the best Fantasy Premier League producers of the last 5 years is
currently only owned by 2% of all fantasy managers? Yup, it's Mikel Arteta. The man hasn't scored a
goal or picked up ... Continue reading →
Fulham play twice this Fantasy Premier League gameweek and while Clint Dempsey is the more popular
choice owned by 9% of fantasy managers, Simon Davies costs just 4.7M and should also start both
matches. Look for Davies to pick ... Continue reading →
