A Bad Week for the Premier League A week to forget for the Premier League you would have to say. The gulf between the best in Europe and the Premiership is there for all to see. Not even the best I hear you say with both Liverpool and Spurs dumped out of the Europa League […]

27 Signs That You’re Addicted To Fantasy Football
Feb 7
As we reach our landmark 100th Gameweek preview we’ve been left wondering just what it is that keeps us going. Why are we so devoted to Fantasy Football? After a beer or two, and then one or two more, we decided that the answer is simple. It’s an addiction! We then came up with 27 […]
Arsenal hit Villa for 5, Walters is wonderful and Daniel Sturridge is back!
Feb 3
The Premier League is back, the Weekend Recap is back, Theo Walcott, Mesut Ozil, Daniel Sturridge and Jermain Defoe – all back. It was a weekend of nostalgia capped with the slowest #DeadlineDay in recent memory, non-Ranger’s loan division, as Gouffran, Ameobi and Cabella netted for Newcastle, Lukaku scored a tap-in at Palace, van Persie […]
Liverpool’s Adam Lallana & The 5 #FPL Players You MUST Pick For GW20
You can read the GW18/19 Review HERE
Gameweek 20
DEFENDER: Ron Vlaar – £4.4m (Home v Crystal Palace)
‘Concrete Ron’ has returned to the Aston Villa side for the last three matches, and Paul Lambert’s men have only conceded twice in those games as a result.
The Dutchman picked up the full three bonus points in the Sunderland game last time out, and at home to a struggling Crystal Palace on New Year’s Day he could well do the same again.
MIDFIELDER: Adam Lallana – £8.3m (Home v Leicester)
We highlighted Adam Lallana’s growing influence on this Liverpool team last week, and he underlined that with two goals and a fantastic performance in Monday night’s win over Swansea.
Leicester are the next visitors to Anfield and on the form they’ve shown recently then you’d expect the hosts to have more chances to try and climb the table, and their summer signing will be central to everything they do.
FORWARD: Danny Welbeck – £7.1m (Away v Southampton)
Update 30/12 – Ed… Welbeck is now an injury risk for the New Year’s Day fixture
An away game against Southampton isn’t the easiest fixture for any side in the Premier League, but the loss of the suspended Morgan Schneiderlin might just play into Arsenal’s hands ahead of their trip to St Mary’s.
Another suspension – that of Olivier Giroud – means that Danny Welbeck will play in a central role for the Gunners, and as he showed in the defeat of West Ham he can be pretty effective from there.
THE OUTSIDER: Stevan Jovetic – £7.8m (Home v Sunderland)
With Sergio Aguero and Edin Dzeko still out and the James Milner false 9 experiment not exactly working against Burnley, Manuel Pellegrini must be tempted to start with Stevan Jovetic at home to Sunderland.
The Montenegrin got half an hour in the Burnley game and scored in the win over Sunderland at the Stadium of Light earlier this month. City need a result after their disastrous draw on Sunday, and he can provide it for them.
THE CAPTAIN: Charlie Austin – £6.3m (Home v Swansea)
In the mood for a bit of a gamble?
Injuries and difficult fixtures for the usual suspects mean that it could be time to roll the dice, and after failing to fire against Crystal Palace then a home game against Swansea could be the perfect chance for Charlie Austin to bounce back.
It would be a brave choice, but it might well be a weekend when brave choices are needed.

Rooney and Gayle on the scoresheet at Arsenal and Liverpool (Again)
Nov 25
GW12 FPL REVIEW FROM @FANTASYGAFFER It was a poor week for fantasy premier league managers, with an average score of 35 points heading into Monday’s clash between the Villains and the Saints. A number of high-profile players missed out (including Nacir Chadli) while one notable forward made his comeback. While we say ‘oh, you […]

FantasyYIRMA.com started out as most random fantasy football leagues do…
over alcohol.
People often ask ” What does the name mean? “
Long story short – One bloke says to the other “I need a name for the mini-league”
“the what??” came the reply.
“the fantasy league, we have to give it a name”
“I haven’t got a (Insert word of your own choosing ) clue. Sure name it after Yir Ma!”
This statement was thus taken literally and FantasyYIRMA was born!!
Since 2008 more than 10,000 people have now entered a Fantasy YIRMA mini-league.
The main league is free to play and the £100 prize fund is typically paid by the loser in the bet between the FantasyYIRMA admin team.
To take £100 off your mate in a bet is fun- to make him sponsor the league for an entire season …is funnier.
I think it’s fair to say, that if you had told me FantasyYIRMA.com would still be running almost two years after it started I would have chuckled immensely… but it has… we have… and as both the twitter (@FantasyYIRMA ) account and website have continued to grow, it genuinely is a pleasure to be involved in the ridiculously brilliant world of Fantasy Football.
The interaction online from #FPL fans across the world has been fantastic! Our goal now is the same as it was from day one – to try and provide interesting and quality insight and to help create as much interaction around the game as possible. Simply watching the evolution of the game over the past few years as the level of interest continues to grow has been fascinating.
Best of Luck to everyone for the 2014/15 season from us at FY!
