You can check out all scores from the weekend’s PL action here. In this article, we continue our FPL GW13 coverage with winners and losers from Saturday’s and Sunday’s ...
Pep Guardiola is nothing if not a fashionista. Of course, yes, he is one of the greatest managers of all time, one of Barcelona’s best-ever midfielders, one of the most decorated coaches ever, etc, but fashionista definitely takes the cake. More often than not, Pep Guardiola favors a casual, laid-back appearance, dressing in cardigans, sweaters, ...
Chelsea has missed Reece James. There are no two ways about it. The full-back’s energy and passes down the right side of the pitch adds a different dimension to the London side’s attack and the player is even solid defensively, adding robustness to the side. His last game for the club was a 2-0 win ...
Kevin De Bruyne is what some might call a manager’s perfect player. He is technically gifted, has the ability to understand instructions and tactics, can lead the team, set up magnificent plays without the need for glory, and rarely makes the headlines for the wrong reasons. The Belgian midfielder is not often associated with controversies ...
In football, there are various options for a player to stay in the game post-retirement. One can become a commentator (like Jamie Carragher), a manager (like Patrick Viera), a development coach (like Leighton Baines), or take up a boardroom role (like Edwin Van Der Sar). You need not stick to your chosen role either. Managers ...
And the games keep on coming. The midweek PL GW12 has only just gotten done and we’re already writing an FPL preview for GW13. Oh, but we’re not complaining. Love me a bit of good old Barclays. Before we go further, a moment of silence, and a moment of laughter, for this person. For those ...
Manchester United’s midweek win marked a near-perfect day for the English football giants. They won against Spurs two goals to nil. Absolutely dominated the game from start to end. And now are just a point off of top four. So why only a ‘near’ perfect day? Well, one of their players decided to leave the ...
Erik Ten Hag‘s Manchester United have had a great couple of weeks. After having a rough start to the season, losing 4-0 to Brentford, they have had a resurgence since, beating Arsenal, Liverpool and now, Tottenham Hotspur. It seems like Ten Hag has found the formula for success in the club, and all pieces of ...
With two out of three days of the midweek Premier League game week done, we can now look at some of the highs and lows of FPL. This GW, continuing the theme from the weekend, was much better for defenders and not so much for the attackers. Only 8 goals were scored over seven games, ...
Barcelona’s 18-year-old midfielder Gavi was recently crowned as the world’s best Under-21 footballer, called the Kopa trophy, at the Ballon d’Or awards, hosted in Paris earlier this week. The Spaniard beat off competition from the likes of Borussia Dortmund’s Jude Bellingham, Bayern Munich‘s Jamal Musiala and Eduardo Camavinga to scoop the prize. Gavi’s club teammate ...
For players who are retired, one of the most lucrative job opportunities is in punditry. They get to stay connected to the game despite not having the physical capabilities to play it at the highest level anymore, and they even get a platform to voice their opinions and express their thoughts about currently playing players, ...
Manchester City and Liverpool have been the biggest rivalry in the EPL in recent years, even though Liverpool have only won one title compared to City’s five in this era. That is why whenever the two sides match up, it is a sight to behold. By having some of the best players in the world, ...
Karim Benzema is the Ballon d’Or winner for the year 2022. With a season where he was far clear of any opposition, it came as a surprise to no one when his name was announced for the accolade. Since the suspense around the winner was pretty much non-existent, the questions surrounding the event were more ...
Ballon d’Or is often considered to be the highest award a footballer can get. Presented by French news magazine France Football, it was started in 1956 and has been given to the best player of the year, by virtue of voting. Lionel Messi has the highest number of this accolade with 7, followed by Cristiano ...
The dreaded GW12 is upon us. With Man City and Arsenal fixture blanks, this is anyway a challenging week to field a playing XI in FPL. To add to that, Tuesday’s deadline is quite possibly the shortest turnaround time one could possibly get. With just one full day between game weeks, managers need to be ...
Pep Guardiola is one of football’s greatest-ever managers. His play style is built on the tiki-taka philosophy, which is one of the most intricate forms of football, requiring a high level of short passing to build the game up. When his teams play, they almost always dominate the possession and have the most passes and ...
This Twitter Exchange Between Toni Kroos and Fede Valverde Is Too Good El Clasico. Battle of the table toppers. One of the most watched football fixtures in the world. Real Madrid vs. Barcelona is quite possibly the most talked about derbies of club football, with the winner enjoying bragging rights over their rivals. The iconic ...
