Iran has had a national outrage and protest in response to the death of a young woman who passed away while being held by the police. Mahsa Amini, the woman in question, was detained by Iranian authorities for disobeying the nation’s rigorous dress code by adorning her hijab too loosely. Amini’s passing also came to ...
One of the reasons Premier League fans do not like international breaks is the lack of club football on weekends. International football rarely delivers the same joy, excitement or drama. Another major reason why international commitments are despised is player injuries. International breaks are notorious for injuries and the subsequent unavailability affects one’s club commitments. ...
Many FPL managers have taken the international break as an opportunity to play their wildcard chip. This allows them to make unlimited transfers till the next gameweek deadline, which is on 1st October. We have previously covered defenders, midfielders and strikers and it is now time for goalkeepers to go under the scanner. FPL players ...
The first international break is upon us, giving everyone a break from Premier League action until 1st October when PL returns with the blockbuster North London Derby between Arsenal and Tottenham. The 10 days between now and the next PL match gives FPL managers enough time to tinker with their team and play the wildcard ...
Premier League resumed this weekend after a short break, bringing back with it all the drama, emotions and excitement. Five of the seven matches of the cut-short weekend were played (scores here) on Saturday, meaning we can do the first part of our weekly FPL analysis. Here’s the round-up of the FPL winners and losers ...
After a one-week hiatus, the focus is well and truly back on Premier League and obviously, FPL. We have discussed wildcards, forwards and defenders at length but one area of the pitch that hasn’t been touched upon is the midfield. This season, the FPL midfield picks have been less clear than as the season has ...
We are in uncharted territory here FPL-wise, ever since the passing of England’s longest-serving monarch, Queen Elizabeth II. A whole round of fixtures was pushed and there were lingering doubts about gameweek 8 as well, with multiple rumours flying around. Thankfully, Premier League released a statement on Sunday to clarify the situation. Seven of the ...
Football has undergone a very noticeable evolution over this past decade, and the changes are related to the very manner in which teams take to the pitch. The abilities to dominate possession coupled with intricate passing sequences were mostly associated with Europe’s best teams up until a few years ago. In contrast, most mid-table sides ...
Strikers have stolen the show as far as Fantasy Premier League is concerned. Some more so that others like the new Manchester City signing Erling Haaland. Four of the top six point-getters in FPL play as a striker, while there are no defenders in the top 10. Spurs forward Harry Kane has somewhat slipped under ...
After six Premier League gameweeks, the top three are separated by just 1 point. It is super competitive at the summit and we hope it stays like this throughout the season. What I do want to see, however, is no competition for pole position in my FPL leagues. With Wildcard season in full swing, most ...
The Premier League season is well underway and with six matches done, FPL managers have started identifying some strengths and weaknesses in their squad. Haaland, Sterling, Salah, Gross and many many other players are the subject of countless debates between managers. The most important decision managers take between gameweeks is which player to replace to ...
Taking inspiration from day 1 of Gameweek 6, day 2 was also not short on action and drama. Only two games were played but 11 goals were scored yesterday. RIP defenders! So let’s see how the action was for all the FPL managers. Some positives Marcus Rashford Owned by only 11.7% of the teams, the ...
Not a lot of time was given to digest the deadline day frenzy as the next round of fixtures was already upon us come Saturday, starting with an early kick-off of the Merseyside derby. 8 out of 10 fixtures of the gameweek have been played, so now seems an apt time to analyse everyone’s simultaneous ...
Here’s how setting up your FPL team for the week usually goes – a glance at the stats, looking over injury records, analyzing performances against particular teams, and even taking a gander at form charts. Usually what follows this up is a roll of the dice, a bit of risk-taking be it minor or major, ...
FPL Gameweek 5 was owned by a select few players. Erling Haaland, Joao Cancelo, Sterling and a few more. Long story short, your team was sorted if you had Man City starters in your team, with the champions winning 6-0 against newly promoted Nottingham Forest. For everyone who could not get high points though, the ...
Premier League matchday 5 is almost over, with only Man Utd vs. Leicester remaining. In this post, we analyse the FPL hits and misses that the mid-week games brought. The results are as follows: The Hits: Erling Haaland The most obvious place to start is the talk of the town, Erling Haaland. Man City’s dominant ...
While the action on the pitch is usually enthralling by itself, the thrills provided by Fantasy Premier League (FPL) only enhance that experience. The feeling of competing against millions of other managers, with nothing except wits and knowledge by your side is incredibly immersive, and as such, the FPL continues to grow each season. However, ...
