Haaland blanks in FPL. There. That’s the headline. Liverpool’s somewhat surprising victory over Manchester City ended a very exciting Premier League GW. A much better weekend for defenders, and not so much for the attackers, here is Thick Accent’s FPL review for GW11. You can check out the final results here. Winners: Alisson A clean ...
Toni Kroos is one of the best central midfielders of the 21st century. He made his name playing for German giants Bayern Munich, the team that introduced him to the world of professional football. After a few years of playing in the German powerhouse’s squad, he decided to move to Real Madrid, a decision which ...
Bayern Munich have had a rougher start to the season than they would’ve anticipated. They sit third in the Bundesliga, lagging four points from the top but crucially, above rivals Dortmund, who are level on points but behind on GD. While the games may not be going to plan, one thing they’re excelling at this ...
In this post, we take a look at the weekend’s Premier League action and analyse some FPL prospects and transfers. But before we get into discussing GW11, make sure you read about how to deal with Man City and Arsenal blanks to stay ahead of the curve. Fixtures: Liverpool v Manchester City will end what ...
From being called a benchwarmer in Liverpool, to now being called Gandalf, Simon Mignolet has had a roller coaster of a career. The Belgian first started making a name for himself when he played in Sunderland before he was signed by Brendan Rodgers for being the first-choice keeper of Liverpool after the departure of Pepe ...
Every good football squad requires a sort of player that is not flashy, rarely makes mistakes and who goes about their business with no one usually noticing. Neat and tidy, work horses, essential cogs to a functioning wheel. The midfield generals. One needs to look at the line-up to realise that they’re on the pitch. ...
Up until last season, most had heard of a certain Norwegian tearing it up in the Bundesliga with Borussia Dortmund. Averaging almost 1 goal a game, his exploits were taken lightly given it came in the supposedly easier German league. This summer, this player moved to Manchester City and has silenced all doubters. Yes, we ...
Mid-week Champions League action almost never disappoints. Giants Barcelona and Juventus are on the brink of being demoted to the Europa League, whereas Manchester City and Real Madrid have already qualified for the next round. While all this is happening, Mo Salah and other Liverpool players are busy breaking records. Safe to say, Salah is ...
The Celtic Football Club, or simply “Celtic”, is a Glasgow-based Scottish professional football team that competes in the Scottish Premiership. The club was established in 1887 with the intention of reducing poverty among Glasgow’s East End Irish immigrant population. It can therefore be concluded that the club has an Irish heritage. Ireland has a controversial ...
700 goals? Undying legacy? GOAT status? Check. Check. And check. King of celebrations? Also, check. It has been nine years since Cristiano Ronaldo first did the “Siu”. And there probably hasn’t been any other celebration that comes close to being as iconic as it is. With celebrities, athletes, and kids all around the world doing ...
Antonio Rudiger has had an “okay” start to his life at Real Madrid. The German defender moved to Spain for free, after his contract with Chelsea expired at the end of last season. Averaging a rating of 7.08 in La Liga as per FotMob, Rudiger has played 8 games thus far and managed only one ...
Chelsea’s attackers, sans the new signings, have been facing a lot of flack this season for their lack of contributions. Havertz, Mount, Pulisic, Ziyech and co. have failed to affect most games. It is, in fact, the new signings that have made an impact. To further illustrate the point, Sterling is this season’s top scorer ...
It is almost customary to stock up on players from top-table clubs in your FPL teams. After all, these are the ones that are scoring consistently, keeping clean sheets, and putting in good performances. Of course, that is not to say that players from other clubs are universally ignored. But rarely will you find an ...
Football has long been associated with video games but only of the sporting type. Titles like EA Sports FIFA and PES have been releasing new editions every year to attract fans to play these games digitally. But football may have just forayed into something different. “Messi has just launched an absolute rocket strike” will have ...
A little over 8 months have gone by since Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Arsenal parted ways. The striker’s exit was not without drama, as we now know thanks to Amazon Prime’s All of Nothing series. The Gabonese was once a popular player in London but ended his time at the Emirates on a sour note, as ...
Averaging 3.75 goals per game, Sunday’s Premier League action was a feast for the attackers and a nightmare for the defenders. None of the 8 teams playing managed to keep a clean sheet, ensuring that everyone who decided to spend the day staying in had a fun watch. Following on from our Saturday analysis on ...
Neymar is undoubtedly football’s biggest paradox. When you see him play, you cannot take your eyes off him. With skills that are only rivalled by the great Ronaldinho, and stats that take him to levels near Messi and Ronaldo, his ability and talent are truly undeniable. Yet, for one reason or another, there will always ...
