FPL Gameweek 13 Preview… Written by @NiallHawthorne It seems to me that there’s a general sense of misery surrounding this Premier League season, and I don’t know why.

Dec 4
GW10 Review: Hello, Written by @JackAGoodwin Crystal Palace 0-2 Newcastle Two teams hovering above relegation, both needing a result to lift them clear.
