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. […]
Is this the best Premier league season ever?
There have been plenty of great seasons in the history of the English Premier League, but with Leicester City starting the season at 5,000/1 to win it, surely this is the greatest of all time! When I think back on the best seasons in the English Premier League, I immediately cast my mind back to […]
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 – GW28
With six green arrows in our previous seven weeks, our side seems quite settled and strong. We can’t say we’re making great strides though – seven weeks ago we were in position 62,260, six green arrows later and we’re only in position 52,845. Time for a few risks. This week, there were only eight fixtures, so the […]
Fantasy Football – GW10
After our mammoth gameweek 8 score of 119, and 300 000 place rise, we were desperately trying to consolidate. We were just inside the top 19,000 in the world and hoping to stay there. Somehow we managed another big gameweek, with Vardy scoring two goals, Costa (c) grabbing a goal and an assist, Sanchez found the net and Mahrez […]
Fantasy Football – GW5
We think the secret to doing well in Fantasy Football is to stay above the average weekly score as much as possible. This week we were 3 points below it, so lets hope this is the only time it happens this season. Koscielny and Shaw kept clean sheets for our team, and for the fourth week […]
Is money ruining football derbies?
Last week I noticed that Liverpool are travelling to Old Trafford on Saturday to face their old rivals Manchester United, and I found myself not feeling the usual excitement. Is that feeling because of money? I couldn’t understand why I wasn’t terribly excited about the upcoming derby. I mean, between them, they have 86 major honours, […]
