Fantasy Football Tips

Fantasy Football is a challenging game and it can be difficult to keep up-to-date with every team and player in the Premier League. It is tough enough to fit the time in to watch the team you support, let alone every other team in the Premier League! So how will you get the edge on your friends and office colleagues? Simple, let the Irish Times Fantasy Football Tips blog do the work for you!

Each week there will be daily articles giving you captain tips, transfer tips, strategy advice, last week’s fantasy football reviewed and leaderboard coverage.

That’s why The Irish Times Fantasy Football Tips blog should be your number one fantasy football resource each week!

Captain Tips

Get expert analysis on the most important decision of the week- what player to make captain? Your captain scores double points which can really make the difference between an average week and a great week. Every Friday there will be articles to help you choose your captain that will give you a shortlist of candidates to consider for your team in The Irish Times Fantasy Premier League.

Transfer Tips

For each round of games there will be articles on the best goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders and forwards to pick for that week. These articles will include recommendations for both the expensive players and cheap alternatives focusing on form and discussing their short term and long term potential.

Strategy Articles

The Irish Times Fantasy Premier League game has fantastic transfer rules to really give you decisions to make on a weekly basis. The Fantasy Football Tips blog will discuss the best strategy and tactics for Fantasy Football Managers to deploy each week. Unlike most other fantasy football games you will have the option of making 2-3 changes per week before or during the weekend!

Form or Fluke?

It is important to know if a Premier League player delivered a good performance for their club or even scored a goal, assist or achieved a good fantasy football point’s return. As a Fantasy Football Manager you need to know if it is a sign of good form with strong points scoring potential in coming games or if it was luck with little chance of reoccurring! Sometimes poor performances can be covered up by an assist that bounces off a players shin or a terrible error by the opposition that is unlikely to happen again over the course of the season.

Such examples from last season include Benoit Assou-Ekotto getting an accidental assist for Spurs at Ewood Park and Andrey Arshavin scoring the winner for Arsenal at the Emirates against Swansea after the Swans goalkeeper Michel Vorm mistakenly threw the ball to the out of form Russian captain. The list goes on but after these high points scoring weeks both players gave managers who put their faith in them a very poor point’s return.

The Irish Times Fantasy Football Tips blog will provide all managers with daily articles on fantasy football designed to give you the edge over your competitors.

The Leaderboard

We are determined to find the best fantasy football manager and county in Ireland. Does Dublin South know more about fantasy football than Dublin North? Are Kerry better fantasy football managers than Cork? We will have regular posts on the site to find the best Fantasy Football County in Ireland!
