Grab, Avoid or Bore Off!
Grab, Avoid or Bore off! Welcome to the another instalment of Grab, Avoid or Bore off for the 2016-17 season. As most of you know, every International Break the four horsemen of the Apocalypse…actually three, since I just ask the questions, well…come to think of it, two, since Kop is on vacation. However we weren’t about to do a Bore off one short, so we looked around came up a unanimous name (I asked no one, just decided on him) to replace Kop for this edition. So welcome in replacement Amigo, Gallant Pioneer. He brings legendary knowledge, mostly in other things, but who ca...[Read More]

New Signings – Fantasy Premier League 2016/17. Mustafi, Perez With the transfer window coming to a close and the players off playing for their respective countries, it’s probably a good time to look at some recent signings that we haven’t covered yet. Arsenal, and more importantly Wenger, have finally loosened their purse strings and brought in two new players. These recruits include a much needed central defender in Shkrodan Mustafi and the striker/winger, Lucas Pérez. This is my first article so bear with me, now without further ado, here goes!
MLS GW27 Tips Fantasy Major League Soccer
MLS GW27 Tips Fantasy Major League Soccer I have to say, on a personal note, even I was surprised by how ‘MLS-y’ the MLS was this past weekend. Just when you think that you’re starting to get a hold on some things, everything is turned on its head again. And here’s the big news: the game is now not so far out of reach for many people as it was before. In case you missed it, Giovinco was injured pretty badly and will be out for a month (maybe more); and what that injury means for the game is staggering. But this being the MLS, the Giovinco injury is just the tip of the iceberg. We’ve got a slew...[Read More]
New Signings – Fantasy Premier League 2016/17. Zaza, Boufal, Manquillo
New Signings – Fantasy Premier League 2016/17. Zaza, Boufal, Manquillo The second of this week’s review of recent transfers might easily be renamed “The most pointless article of the season”. There is no Benteke to provide your 3rd striker solution, nor is there a Pereyra to get your juices flowing. Instead, we have West Ham’s new striker whose biggest claim to fame is to impersonate an English player in a penalty shootout while wearing an Italian shirt; there is an award winning African Frenchman who is injured but who still becomes Southampton’s record sig...[Read More]

New Signings – Fantasy Premier League 2016/17. So, just as we get started and gain some momentum in FPL, we are subjected to an international break and a fortnight of hoping and praying that our chosen FPL ones return from duty injury free. In the meantime, we’ll talk the time to look at some of the players who have joined new clubs recently as the transfer window prepares to close for a few more months. In the first article we take a look at four players – Christian Benteke, Claudio Bravo, Roberto Pereyra and Daryl Janmaat. Benteke and Janmaat are well known to us of course ...[Read More]

FPL Fixtures Analysis Gameweek 5 2016-17
FPL Fixtures Analysis Gameweek 5 2016-17 Welcome to FPL Fixtures Analysis Gameweek 5 2016-17. There’s a great Louis CK bit at the beginning of one of his specials where he acknowledges that he has trouble knowing what to say to start his show. It’s tough. Too much preamble and it sounds forced, but not enough banter at the top makes it look like you just don’t care about proper etiquette as you talk to your audience. I kind of wanted to get this intro right because it’s a huge shift for me on this site. Starting this round, I’ll be taking over the Fixtures article on a weekly basis. I know, ri...[Read More]
MLS GW26 Tips Fantasy Major League Soccer
MLS GW26 Tips Fantasy Major League Soccer “…even if you do make the right moves, you could still be wrong.” — Guy Sanchez, GW25 MLS Tips article I called it folks.

In case you missed it, several of our big players in the league got rotated out during the midweek matches. Absent from starting lineups were Clint Dempsey, Jordan Morris, Robbie Keane, Steven Gerrard and Giovani dos Santos. Some subbed in late, but...[Read More]
