New Fantasy Premier League Transfer 2018/19 – Max Meyer, Alfie Mawson, Aleksandar Mitrovic and Yoshinori Muto
New Fantasy Premier League Transfers 2018/19 Max Meyer, Alfie Mawson, Alexsandar Mitrovic and Yoshinori Muto Welcome to New Fantasy Premier League Transfers 2018/19 – Max Meyer, Alfie Mawson, Alexsandar Mitrovic and Yoshinori Muto. This edition is very much the ‘M’ edition so is probably why they recruited me to write it. M is the 13th letter of the Alphabet and this certainly feels like my 13th article of preseason but c’est la vie! Here we have two familiar faces and two not so familiar ones. AT was a bit premature on his Fulham article as they have gone and signed two names that are experienced in the Premier League in Alfie Mawson and Aleksandar Mitrovic. The other two names you may not know too well and that is Max Meyer to Crystal Palace and Yoshinori Muto to Newcastle. Each of these...[Read More]
FF_Surgery Podcast
FF_Surgery Podcast In the past we have discussed the possibility of doing a podcast. Be it for time or any other reason, it is something that just hasn’t been possible for us. However, we felt like it was something we wanted to address and we know many FPL managers do enjoy listening to a podcast or three. So it was only natural then, that we would approach our friends at FF_Surgery to see if they would do all the work for us, while we just sit back and enjoy, those are the kind of relationships we enjoy. 😉 The possibility of one of our lot joining them was discussed and that remains open for a future podcast. We thank them for that, we may just make you live to regret that kind offer. We will have their podcast on our articles once they are ready to listen to every gameweek, so make...[Read More]
New Fantasy Premier League Transfers 2018/19 Alireza Jahanbakhsh and André Schürrle
New Fantasy Premier League Transfers 2018/19 Alireza Jahanbakhsh and André Schürrle Hello and welcome to New Fantasy Premier League Transfers 2018/19 Alireza Jahanbakhsh and André Schürrle. A couple of relatively budget friendly but potentially also relatively good value midfielders wondered into our FPL lives this week. One is a household name, the other not so much. For many reasons. One is a World Cup winner who has played here before and actually won the league with Chelsea (despite being somehow unaware of doing so!). The other has just featured in the World Cup recently in Russia but we doubt anybody actually noticed. From that snappy synopsis it appears one is a shoe-in for our FPL teams and the other you should just forget about. But don’t let history fool you, necessarily. H...[Read More]
New Fantasy Premier League Transfers 2018/19 – Andriy Yarmolenko, Bernd Leno and Florin Andone
New Fantasy Premier League Transfers 2018/19 – Andriy Yarmolenko, Bernd Leno and Florin Andone Welcome to New Fantasy Premier League Transfers 2018/19 – Andriy Yarmolenko, Bernd Leno and Florin Andone. Omne trium perfectum. Perfection comes in threes. ‘The rule of three’ being of course a widely adapted writing principle, whether in comedy, advertising, or some other third thing. So why should Fantasy Football be any different? After trawling the breadths and depths of the Premier League transfer pond I handpicked the very best trio of recent FPL inductees. Unfortunately they were already taken by other writers, so here are three blokes you’ve never heard of. Andriy Yarmolenko | Midfielder | West Ham United | £7.0m I remember what it was like getting my first Star Wars figurine...[Read More]
New Fantasy Premier League Transfers 2018/19 – Richarlison and James Maddison
New Fantasy Premier League Transfers 2018/19 Richarlison and James Maddison Hello and welcome to New Fantasy Premier League Transfers 2018/19 Richarlison and James Maddison. We continue our look at new Premier League transfers by focusing on two promising mid-priced attacking midfielders, namely Everton’s Richarlison and Leicester’s James Maddison. Richarlison you will likely remember from his time at Watford last season while you may not know so much about James Maddison unless you followed the Championship. Both midfielders are priced at 6.5mln and would appear to offer good value for money. They both also have the advantage of starting the season at their new clubs with decent looking fixtures. Richarlison Everton FPL price: 6.5mln Many of us hold fond memories of early seas...[Read More]
MLS Tips Fantasy Major League Soccer GW23-Fall Season
After a few postponements, the Spring season is now finally over and we will be entering the Fall season starting this week. Despite the many delayed kick-offs (due to freaky summer weather conditions) we witnessed another exciting round with 51 goals scored, including two hat tricks. Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored his first MLS hat trick and his ex-Manchester United team-mate Wayne Rooney scored his first MLS goal. Elsewhere, Bradley Wright-Phillips netted his 100th goal and became the fastest player to score a century in MLS history. https://twitter.com/MLS/status/1023781778308378625 Gameweek 22 Review The second edition of El Trafico finished in a similar fashion to the first. LAFC were 2-0 up until the 82nd minute when the Galaxy came back, this time to draw the game. Vancouver demolished M...[Read More]
New Fantasy Premier League Transfers 2018/19 – Liverpool Edition
New Fantasy Premier League Transfers 2018/19 Liverpool Edition Hello and welcome to New Fantasy Premier League Transfers 2018/19 Liverpool Edition! This is our year! Only joking I’m too much of a realist to get swept up in that stuff and I’m sure fellow Red and resident pessimist Kop would agree with me on that. Even though I do not feel as optimistic as the majority of fans, it seems that other fans from teams around the league are getting involved in and really feel Liverpool have made a great push to challenge defending Champions Man City. Liverpool have looked at some key areas of their team and improved immensely. They have spent £164 million this summer on improving weak spots which could prove money well spent if Alisson, Fabinho, Keita and Shaqiri hit the ground running. With this ...[Read More]
New Fantasy Premier League Transfers 2018/19 – Riyad Mahrez and Ben Foster
New Fantasy Premier League Transfers 2018/19 – Riyad Mahrez and Ben Foster Welcome to New Fantasy Premier League Transfers 2018/19 – Riyad Mahrez and Ben Foster. Two familiar faces and yet their transfers create uncertainties that must not be ignored. Well, I guess Foster’s could be but I just do what I am told. Mahrez’s £60m move is an indicator of his quality and whilst Ben Foster joins Watford for a relatively tiny £4m, his guaranteed route into a once solid West Brom backline will be fondly remembered by many a fantasy manager. Pre-empting that many of you are here to read about Mahrez, I have put him first. Riyad Mahrez Manchester City FPL Price: £9.0m I just love watching Mahrez play. Do not worry though, this article won’t take a weird ‘Rosco turn’...[Read More]

Fantasy Premier League Promoted Teams Analysis FPL 2018/19 Cardiff City We start our look at the promoted teams with a trip across the Severn Bridge to Cardiff. Neil Warnock’s men finished second behind Wolves in last season’s Championship which sees them return to the top flight for the first time since their relegation in 2014.

The Welshies scored 69 goals with only midfielder Callum Paterson reaching double figures. Junior Hoilett and Kenneth Zohore both scored 9, while interestingly defender Sean Morrison scored an impressive 7 goals. Fixtures The fixture computer has handed Cardiff a straightforward looking introduction into the Premier Leag...[Read More]
Barry and Paul’s World Cup Predictions – The Results
Barry and Paul’s World Cup Predictions – The Results Sadly like the World Cup, Barry and Paul’s will be pulling down our shutters as we bring our summer competition to a close. Fear not though, we’ll be back soon with our regular FPL predictions competition in plenty time for the start of the Premier League season, you can even win T-Shirts in that one, and sometimes we actually post them to you! Sometimes when life gets tough, quitting seems so easy. When you think you’ve done it all, motivation can seem in short supply. I know a man who faced that very dilemma. This time last year, one of our very own sat in his south coast home and made the decision to quit FPL. He was good at it, but the pleasure of taking all his mates money season after season was no longer enough; who ne...[Read More]
Barry and Paul’s World Cup Predictions Game 7
Barry and Paul’s World Cup Predictions Game 7 (Final) Welcome to Barry and Paul’s World Cup Predictions World Cup Final. It appears after all that, football shall not be making its way home. Given that Scotland is in reality the true birthplace of ‘soccer’ as we know it, that’s no great surprise, in which case football will probably never be going home. 😉 On to the winners! The scores keep dropping but that’s to be expected with a maximum 11pts on offer. As it was nobody got close to that score. Mahelmy came the ‘closest’ though; 4pts was enough to claim top spot this week. Second place with 2pts was current league leader Horse, stretching his lead at the top to 6pts, for Horse the real prize may just be coming home. Winner – Mahelmy – 4pts 2nd – Horse – 2pts The Overall ...[Read More]
