We’re trying to keep calm, but are really struggling. Fantasy football returns tomorrow!! Three long months have passed and as with every year, players seem far more expensive this season. This seasons goal is to beat last years position of 33,870. GAMEWEEK 1 This seasons strategy may very well be to Wildcard after GW3, when there’s […]

Is this going to be the most open Premier League ever?
I’m not sure we’ll see a English Premier League season like 2015/2016 for many years, but this season may be the most open… After last season’s madness, it isn’t surprising that the managerial merry-go-round has been in full swing. With Manchester United finishing fifth, and 15 points off top spot, LvG was given the boot and replaced by Jose Mourinho. […]
Fantasy Football – GW31
With only five fixtures this gameweek, many teams fielded less than 11 players. Luckily we planned ahead and had a full quota – we were hoping it could help us climb the rankings. Five minutes before the gameweek went live, we changed our captain from Aguero to Kane, and it paid off. Alderweireld (7) managed to keep […]
Fantasy Football – GW30
We’ve been on a bit of a roll for 7 or 8 gameweeks now and we were hoping to keep it going this week, and luckily for us – we did. There were no clean-sheets in our team, but Alderweireld (7) managed to score a goal and Butland (5) made a few saves and picked up a […]
Fantasy Football – GW29
With the midweek fixtures, we decided it was time to take a risk. Very often, managers forget to change their sides for midweek games – meaning it’s a great time to climb the overall rankings. We took a huge risk and dropped Kane for Costa and gave him the armband. This week, Cresswell (6) kept a clean […]
Fantasy Football – GW15
Apologies for us missing last weeks post – and it’s a real pity, as Gameweek 13 saw us rake it a very tasty 80 points, which saw us get inside the top 9,000 places globally. But as this season seems to have gone for us, we have a good week, followed by an average week. […]
Fantasy Football – GW12
After five green arrows in six weeks, we unfortunately got a red arrow this week. Two silly mistakes cost us rising further in the global rankings. This week we chose the wrong captain, we decided to go with Bony, who faced an average Norwich side. Even though he had plenty chances, he failed to score or assist. […]
Fantasy Football – GW11
Three weeks ago our Leftbacks team was in position 320 000, and at the start of last weekend, we had risen to position 7,829. If we can maintain that position until the end of the season, we’ll be over the moon! This week we chose the wrong captain, (C)osta only managed a single point, which was not great […]
The opening matches of the premier league: what we’ve learnt so far
What a crazy start to the English Premier League football season! We all thought we had a good idea of what results the opening fixtures would produce. The opening day saw Manchester United and Manchester City claim maximum points, but to everyone’s shock, neither Arsenal nor Chelsea could claim victory. The gunners lost 2-0 to their London rivals, […]
English Premier League Preview
For many of us, the three toughest months of the year are June, July and August. When you think about winter, words like “dull”, “depressing” “cold” and “dark” come to mind. But sportsfans know it’s not winter’s fault: it’s the fact that there’s no English Premier League football on our screens. The off-season falls between the end of May and the middle of August […]
