Does treble DGWs mean treble City cover?
Does treble DGWs mean treble City cover? With the rough waters now behind us we can see calm seas and blue skies ahead, in the shape of a number of double game-weeks. We feel that no team will benefit more, from an FPL point of view, than the blue side of Manchester with City playing Fulham at home and Manchester United away in game week 31. They will also face Sunderland and Aston Villa at the Etihad, dates of which are still to be arranged and announced. With this in mind City’s prospect must be considered very seriously; if they can find the form of earlier in the season they could ge...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 29
Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 29 Of course with so few fixtures in GW29 and a big DGW coming up very soon, managers are torn between fielding a full team this week and making preparations for DGW31. With that in mind, this week’s Tips article will focus on GW29 alone. Preparations for the double can take a back seat for now! There will be some obvious picks below, the names that you would expect to see, but also some left-field suggestions that may act as budget ‘stocking fillers’ on a one or two week basis. Don’t forget that Man Utd are the only team to both play in GW29 and have...[Read More]
Game-week 29 Reviews
Game-week 29 Reviews – FPL Fantasy Football Premier League West Bromwich 0-3 Manchester United Goals: Jones, Rooney, Welbeck Assists: Van Persie, Rooney, Rafael Bonus Points: Rooney (3), Rafael, Jones (2) Fantasy Focus: West Brom: What can we say about the Baggies? Not much. Despite their very welcoming fixture list over the next several game-weeks and a yet to be rescheduled game that would give them a double, they are almost unapproachable from a fantasy perspective. Victor Anichebe did however look good in his hold up play and laid off a couple of balls that his teammates should have ...[Read More]

Captain Picks Gameweek 29
Captain Picks Gameweek 29 – FPL Fantasy Football Premier League With just half a set of fixtures this weekend and the likes of Liverpool & Man City not involved in FPL action, the choice as to who to give the armband to is severely limited. No Luis Suarez or Daniel Sturridge debate to fret over – phew!! With a low scoring week in prospect, it is therefore vital to pick through the bones as to who may perform the best – not that the obvious choices always perform the best – for instance I don’t know anyone who selected Andre Schurrle in GW28! So let’s have a look at the standout picks...[Read More]
An Idiot Abroad’s Guide to MLS – Part 2. Eastern Conference
An Idiot Abroad’s Guide to MLS – Part 2. Eastern Conference When someone in the UK looks east in the morning, they see a rising sun shielded by grey clouds. That is, apart from those in London. For when those fine fellows look eastwards, they see Harry Redknapp; a man who knows more about the East than the Dalai Lama. He and assistant Kevin Bond were kind enough not to notice me recording their conversation on a dictaphone parked outside The Crown and Sceptre. HR – “’Ere, Kev. I was on the old dog and bone this mornin’. You wanna see some of these players we got s...[Read More]
Fixtures GW29 and Planning ahead for the Double…
Fixtures GW29 and Planning ahead for the Double… – FPL Fantasy Football Premier League Well this is the one we have all been dreading as there are just five fixtures this week, yes that’s right, count ’em in, just the five. And they’re not that appealing a five either to be perfectly honest. No Liverpool, no Man City, so that’s possibly half your team gone right there. It may be damage limitation for many this week as we expect most will be in the same boat and be worried about only being able to field seven, eight, nine players or so. While the double game-...[Read More]
