Written by Mr. Niall Hawthorne We have reached the end of the road. The cul-de-sac of Fantasy Premier League greets us once more, and upon your arrival you will either be lauded as a hero or mocked as a failure. As ever there are winners and losers, but as with life it’s the taking part […]

Fantasy Football Preview: Liverpool’s Salah Wants 40 Goals This Season
May 6
As the whole world struggles to get to grips with the effect of rampant inflation, those of us in the FPL community merely raise an eyebrow, shrug our shoulders and get on with it. For this is nothing new to us, is it dear friends? When you’ve seen the inflation in the likes of Salah, […]
Fantasy Football Preview: Gameweek 30 Something
Apr 29
Written by Niall Hawthorne Four GW’s left. It’s now or never. I’ve seen more chip strategy analysis than I have Russian-invasion analysis, which gave me an idea. If those in FPL towers offered a free round of chips to every FPL player (TC, Wildcard, FH and BB) in return for detailed analysis on how Putin […]

Dec 25
With two games already off ahead of the Boxing Day fixtures, the following tips are based on the games going ahead as of now. (Edit – it’s less now) Think of these tips like the list you used to send to Santa Claus. It contains the list of what you wanted when you wrote it, […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. […]
