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 – â’Ere, Kev.

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.

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]
Team Talk Gameweek 29
Team Talk Gameweek 29 – FPL Fantasy Football Premier League. Welcome to GW29, or as I call it, Limbo Week. Itâs a game-week with just five fixtures, due to it being FA Cup Sixth Round week. Now the fixture conundrum of not only this week, but also the next few weeks has been well highlighted in all other articles this week, so no need to fill you in anymore on that. But that doesnât mean GW29 is any less significant, indeed far from it â I mean look at the positives â all the matches held on one day, surely a more simple choice for captain, no Suarez or Sturridge issues to keep us awake ...[Read More]
An Idiot Abroad’s guide to MLS – part 1, Western Conference
An Idiot Abroad’s guide to MLS – Part 1, Western Conference The FIFA ‘Handshake for Peace’ party is in full swing and couples are gliding around the dancefloor to New Order’s “World in Motion”. Two lonely souls exchange wary glances from opposite corners of this crowded room; their mutual curiosity almost tangibly entangled. One takes a final swig of pimms and strides unsteadily towards the other… “I say. Surely no kingdom would in good conscience allow such a captivating light to leave their skies so dark. May I be so honoured as to learn ...[Read More]
Game-week 28 Review
Game-week 28 Review – FPL Fantasy Football Premier League Everton 1-0 West Ham Goals: Lukaku Assists: Baines Bonus Points: Baines (3), Stones (2), Lukaku (2) Fantasy Focus: Everton: West Ham have been on a fantastic run so for Everton to keep them scoreless is a great effort. Fantasy managers who own Mirallas will not have been happy as he started on the bench. Leighton Baines showed how important he is to this Everton team as his attacking qualities caused problems for the Hammers defence finally resulting in him providing the assist for the goal. Lukaku was rightly tipped during the we...[Read More]

Tips, Gameweek 28…. and 29 – FPL Fantasy Football Premier League Well it has been quite a week in the world of Fantasy Football, albeit a strange one, as most of the big news and activity has been off the field of play as it has all been about two things.
