Fantasy Football Preview: Gameweek 17 (I Think??)
Dec 13
FPL is currently like being in the ring with Katie Taylor. You’re getting pummelled by punches left, right and centre and there’s very little you can do about it. Every time you think you can come up for air, another round barrels into you and you can’t even clear your head. It’s time to rely […]
Fantasy Football – Gameweek Preview – Palace, West Ham and Liverpool
Nov 19
After a full fortnight of petty squabbles, promising signs that evaporated into empty promises and prominent figures making themselves look very, very silly, we can now say goodbye to COP26, pretend that the International break never happened and settle into a veritable orgy of FPL for the next 11 gameweeks. For a quarter of the […]
Fantasy Football Gameweek 10: Just one Cornet goal!. Give it to me!
Oct 29
Written by @NiallHawthorne It’s that time of the year again when ‘Wintertime’ begins. The Premier League will no doubt unveil it’s ‘Winter Ball’, which is never blue, even though it feels like it should be. The clocks will turn back an hour, for most. Brexiteers hope and pray it turns back to when […]
Fantasy Football Preview: Gameweek 9 – Chelsea, Palace, Wolves and Mo Salah
Oct 22
Farewell Steve Bruce, we hardly knew thee. Actually, that’s bobbins, we know thee only too well. 1,000 games? Man dear, that’s one hell of an achievement for him, and I couldn’t damn him with more faint praise if I tried. Still though, that’s a nice payoff if rumours are to be believed. In any case, […]
Fantasy Football Preview – Gameweek 8: Arsenal, Spurs and West Ham
Oct 15
Written by @NiallHawthorne Yet another international break draws to a close and we can all get back to the real business of FPL, free from these ridiculous breaks to our fantasy football rhythm for…wait, what?…another one in four weeks’ time? Oh for the love of all that is holy, sweet, divine, innocent and pure. All […]
Fantasy Football Gameweek 7: Chelsea, Leeds and Watford?
Oct 1
Written by @NiallHawthorne I’ve been amused this week by the contrast between Britain and Ireland in relation to the supposed ‘post-pandemic new normal’. In Ireland they were told they’re likely to get a new Bank Holiday as a thank you to front-line workers, and the Irish people in general, for their fortitude throughout the crisis. […]
Fantasy Football – Gameweek 4: Ronaldo is back for Manchester United
Sep 10
They say a week is a long time in politics…. Well, in football, an international break is an eternity. Not only have we been forced to wait a full fortnight for the return of Premier League action, we’ve also been left with a Wildcard burning a hole in all our pockets (unless you pulled the […]
Fantasy Football – Gameweek 3: Manchester United, West Ham and Leicester?
Aug 27
Always at this point of a new FPL season we see proclamations that what we’ve witnessed in GW1 and GW2 is a sure sign of things to come. The die has been cast, the future is set, and nothing will change. With that in mind I’d like to congratulate West Ham on winning the Premier […]
Fantasy Football Gameweek 2: Man City, Palace & Leeds to Bounce Back?
Aug 19
Written by Mr. @NiallHawthorne Well that was a nice dull start to the new season, eh? 34 goals, 14 players with double digit hauls and if you had neither Bruno nor Salah, your season is over before it has begun. What larks! Onto GW2! Defender: Oleksandr Zinchenko, Manchester City I can’t tip TAA again, […]
