The Recent Players to Really Stand Out at Promoted Sides
The Recent Players to Really Stand Out at Promoted Sides It’s fair to say that there are certain players in every team that go along as underappreciated successes. For instance, Gilberto Silva in Arsenal’s midfield alongside Patrick Viera, or Dimitar Berbatov for Manchester United alongside a free-scoring Wayne Rooney. This is also true for those players who ply their trade in the Championship, as England’s second tier has indeed helped to produce some great talent over the years, especially within the last couple. When it comes to current Championship players, the more creative players within the midfield at Norwich City can be seen to be hidden gems, although some of them are rather well-known from their stint in the Premier League. The Argentinian Emi Buendia and the Englishman Todd Can...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 34
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 34 Days of yore Back to a relatively bog standard GW, certainly in so much as there are 10 games and every team features just once. Albeit one after the other in this new endless procession of games that we have to endure to please TV audiences. Surely there wouldn’t be an outcrying of grief, even from the woke crowd, if just occasionally they lumped a few together at 3pm on Saturday for old times sake?! Just take a game involving a couple of crap teams who even their own supporters would be glad of a break from and sneak it un untelevised. Newcastle vs Arsenal springs to mind! But we digress… GW 34 begins on Friday as Saints attempt to exorcise their (one of now many) 9-0 demons vs Leicester. Man City kick Saturday off for us by no dou...[Read More]

FPL Captain Picks Gameweek 34
FPL Captain Picks Gameweek 34 Usually at this point in proceedings we cast an eye back over last week’s picks from our panel and have a bit of a laugh at their expense, in the nicest possible way. And applaud the one who triumphed; usually the one who shouted earliest and got the obvious pick, in all honesty! Except that we didn’t actually do one last week, given the tight GW turnaround, and instead we put up a differentials article. Given how much we know our writers look forward to their weekly ridicule we thought we would take a look at these picks instead and see just how different they were in the end! 1, Rosco – Joelinton, Saint-Max, Wilson, Murphy, Ritchie, Willock, 14 points Got a bit greedy?! Some may call it cheating picking 6 players (literally more than half a...[Read More]
The best young players of the 2020-21 Championship season
The best young players of the 2020-21 Championship season In this strangest of seasons, defined by behind-closed-doors football and coronavirus-related restrictions, it has perhaps been more difficult than usual for young players to really make their mark in the Championship. The role a live crowd plays in spurring on the team and encouraging young players can’t be underestimated, and this season that fan presence has been sorely lacking. However, there are still a number of young players who have excelled in the Championship this term, helping their team’s chances as the English Championship odds updated throughout the season. Let’s take a look at the standout performers. Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford) As the only remaining member of Brentford’s famous ‘BMW’ frontline, which also included Ollie...[Read More]
What’s next for three of Chelsea’s loanees as they suffer the harsh reality of Premier League football this season?
What’s next for three of Chelsea’s loanees as they suffer the harsh reality of Premier League football this season? It goes without saying that when the summer transfer window opens each year, the phones at Chelsea must be ringing off the hook. The Blues are no strangers to sending a whole host of players out on loan every season, and more often than not, those favoured in the Premier League relegation odds will be quick to snap up whoever it is Chelsea are looking to offload in order to help them gain some additional talent. This season, however, it looks as though three of their loan stars haven’t been able to help their temporary club’s stock rise as much as they would have hoped, and as the season draws to an end, it’s all the more likely that they will all taste relegation. But, as th...[Read More]
To Register or Not to Register – The Casino Question
To Register or Not to Register – The Casino Question The process of signing up to a betting site and verifying an account is a tedious one. Recent changes to UK legislation mean that players are now required to verify their account before they can make their first deposit. It used to be that players would have to go through the verification process at some point before making their first withdrawal, which at least meant that a player could sign up and start placing bets straight away. The new rules mean that if you come across an online bookmaker offering way better odds on a football game than your own bookie, you won’t be able to take advantage of those odds because you won’t be able to complete the verification process in time. Instant Betting At a time like this, many players turn to s...[Read More]
FPL Tips Gameweek 34
FPL Tips Gameweek 34 Welcome to FPL Tips Gameweek 34. Rarely do I enjoy writing a Tips article, others are much better versed and stat focused than myself. However, I thought I’d jump in this week and offer some names that will hopefully serve you well over the last few weeks or so of the season. I haven’t included any Man City players as frankly I’m not prepared to play Pep-roulette with your teams at this stage and anyway you know enough of Dias, KDB, Gundo, Foden et al to make your own choices. There are of course many other players I could have chosen but omitted. It doesn’t make them bad choices, but I have tried to cover the up and coming DGW(‘s?) and where I have tipped players they have either shown good recent form or have attractive looking fixtures or are displaying good monetar...[Read More]
Five Worst Transfers in Football History
Five Worst Transfers in Football History Football transfers are a gamble. They are as flimsy as most Euro 2020 prognozes. No one can know for sure if a signing will be a success. A myriad of factors come into play determining this outcome. A devastating injury can spring out of nowhere. A player could have a poor run of form, face acclimatization issues, be unable to find his role in a specific system, and so on. Football history is full of sure-fire deals that went horribly wrong. For every transfer that turned out better than expected, dozens were nothing more than money thrown down the drain. Player signings are so risqué nowadays that some online bookmakers even put up odds if they will happen and how they will pan out in the short term. These are gambling sites with a vast array of sp...[Read More]
Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW34
Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW34 Welcome to Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW34. As promised, we have two sets of results to give you this week. The less said about the GW33 results the better, but let’s just say I scored a solitary point, and the overall winning scores (as you will see below were low). Looking back at the results there don’t seem to be too many that were that unusual, Burnley’s 0-4 victory the standout that nobody could have predicted. On to the winners! GW32 Our winner in GW32 was Sarri-ball who picked up a whopping 17pts. It was no one-horse race, however, with OddDane coming a close second with 16pts. Tornado, Albox, Shinespark, and Leprechaun all grabbed a respectable 15pts to share the third spot on the weekly podium. Out of our 52 entran...[Read More]

Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 33
Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 33 Avarice (The following was witten in a fit of pique last Monday afternoon, but despite the hollow apologies and mass backtracking from the clowns and cowards involved it still seems raw enough to be relevant / worth airing). Our GW begins on Friday at 8pm with Everton (8th), a traditinally wholesome family club with strong moral values who appreciate and respect their fans, going to play some scumbags in North London who think they are a European super-power and as such are above such meaningless yet competitve games against lower opposition (9th). Newcastle, a (previously) traditinally wholesome family club with strong moral values who (used to) appreciate and respect their fans, kick us off on Saturday lunchtime at 12:30pm vs some scumbags who...[Read More]
