SKY Fantasy Football Forum is moving!

Calling all Sky Fantasy Football Players!

As some of you may already know, I have been working on a fancy pants new site called Fantasy Football Hub. This site is geared towards all types on fantasy football games, including FPL. Fear not though, as we will be providing you lucky lot with a host of awesome Sky articles, podcasts, groups, and so much more. Here is who we have signed up as Sky contributors to ensure that the site does not become a feed of FPL rate my teams (I’ll be in my grave before this ever happens!):

Luke Williams

Experienced writer and podcaster, Luke has one of the best (if not the best?) records around in the Sky game.

Dan Cox

Overall winner of last year’s Sky and simply way too good at fantasy football money games. He’ll be making weekly contributions on Sun Dream Team, occasional ones on SKY and managing the community hub.

Mark Edworthy

Excellent writer and podcaster, Mark is getting a reputation for his expertise and skill on both Sky and FPL.

Lewis Nicklin

Regular readers will recognise Lewis brilliantly stepping in for me last year, which saw him storm to heady heights in the Sky overall rankings.

Niall

Coming 3rd last year in Sky, Niall knows his onions when it comes to fantasy football. He’ll be providing brilliant and insightful Sky articles that make you think.

Carl

Genius with numbers and statistics, Carl looks set to be giving you deep dive stats articles that will help you climb the ranks. He’s also set to expand and explain his super clever Sky Prediction tool.

Paul Ferris

A sports enthusiast and top SKY manager, Paul brings with him a wealth of IT support to help behind the scenes.

Will Thomas

Oh, and then there’s me. I’ll be rambling on about stuff now and again and continuing my weekly SKY blogs.

There’s more…

We won’t just be producing Sky articles. We will have a brand new social platform dedicated to fantasy football.

Site is set to officially launch tomorrow (Sunday 3rd September 2017), but thought I’d give my followers on here a heads-up first.

See you over there!

 

GW3 – Crashing back down to earth

After last week’s super start, I was only going to go one way in the ranks… down. Maybe crashing back down is a little harsh, but lets just say it was a bumpy landing.

By the way this post is going to be super short as I’m working on an exciting project (see the end)

GW2 – Flying start!

Kicked off the season well as captains Lacazatte, Salah and Lukaku hit big. That coupled with a heavy sprinkling of points across my team rounded off a tidy 139 point opening week. It was soured slightly by having to play 3 transfers – one of them being a very I’ll advised move for Herrera.

GW1 – Here we go!

With only hours left before kick off, I think Im settled on my team. Although I have thought that at least 5 times before, I really do think this is the one…probably…  maybe… Anyway, here it is:

What should I do with my Sky Fantasy 2nd Team?

With one week to go before season launch, I’m still yet to decide what I’ll be doing with my 2nd team and some of you may be in the same boat. By running through the options, I hope to to help myself, and you, figure out what to do.

Watchlist – Forwards

Following articles on goalkeepers and midfielders, plus an in-depth analyses on defenders by Niall, this will be the final watchlist article. There are a lot to choose from in the striker department, but I have narrowed my watchlist down to just 5.

Watchlist – Midfielders

Following on from the Goalkeeper watchlist article, I have opted to skip defenders as Niall is covering that area so well. I’ll still include a defenders poll at the end so I can compile the new Watchlist Tab though.

Watchlist – Goal Keepers

If you haven’t already, check out new blogger Niall’s excellent article on the Sky Fantasy rule change for defenders. This article is far less sophisticated, I’ll be running you through my top choice keepers that will form part of a watchlist series on each position. Each post will also poll your views and this will be compiled to form a new Watchlist Tab prior the season launch on the 11th August (I’ll also endeavour to keep this updated throughout the season!)

Defence… A form of offence?

Before I kick off I’d like to thank Will for letting me contribute to this fantastic blog. I’m a bit of a novice in comparison, but I hope you’ll bear with me!

Captaincy ramblings

Those looking for a beginner’s guide to Sky Fantasy Football should head over to Buffrey’s excellent article on Fantasy Football Scout. Here I’ll be casting my eye over the main change to the game, the ‘overhall’, and what it means for captaincy before kick off.
