FPL is a life lesson. It helps you cope with expectations and the despair brought by unfulfilled expectations. After playing FPL for a couple of seasons, you learn to let go of the Charles Dickens’ classic and ‘Great Expectations’ become a thing of the past gameweek. We are at the fag end of GW21, with ...
Forest has been a great source of resources for us, since time immemorial. It seems that it doesn’t change with the Fantasy Premier League 2024-25. Nottingham Forest, who became successive European Cup winners in the late 70s and early 80s, appears to be back in search of some glory again. Nuno’s men are having a ...
The equations in PL change fast. Really fast. Lightning fast. Faster than light, at times. And eventually, all these changes find a true reflection in the world of FPL. Like, West Ham United were European champions less than two years ago, when they won the UEFA Conference League under David Moyes. Now, they are fighting ...
What do you call a player who has scored a goal in the eighth consecutive match of a Premier League season? Alexander Isak. Fifteen goals and five assists within gameweek 21. Wait, this has been done while missing out on two games. Phenomenal? Incredible? Adjectives fail to describe his genius. Despite battling with a hamstring ...
In life, time is money. In FPL, time is more than money. And injury updates and team leaks are money too. We are approaching the end of GW21. The last round of matches will take place tonight. This gameweek has been a case of hurrahs and sighs, as it happens with any other gameweek. There ...
West Ham has just won a match in a long time. They beat Fulham 3-2 last night. As it happens, a change of guard in the dugout usually triggers an inspired performance. And it was no exception that Graham Potter’s arrival catapulted a punch good enough to get the better of Fulham. This season, West ...
Doubling up … No, no! Wait … Yeah! Tripling up on the Fulham assets may be the way forward in FPL. We already had Gimenez among the best budget forwards and Robinson amidst the best defenders to own now. Now Alex Iwobi also wants to join the party. Fulham lost against West Ham United last ...
There’s no stopping Antonee Robinson. The Fulham side back, who mostly plays in an advanced position on the left flank, has come up with another brace of assists last night. Robinson is a key player for Fulham, with 21 starts in 21 games so far. He can be easily termed as the ‘Assist God’ in ...
The more information you gather, the more power you enjoy over your life and FPL. But it doesn’t work like that. You may think that you are in control of the scheme of things that affect you. But you are not. Also, the template doesn’t always work. Not in FPL, not in life. Otherwise, Salah, ...
What would you do with an asset that has been largely a case of hits and misses? Ideally, you shouldn’t be getting your hands on it. But FPL is all about taking risks. There are two ways of approaching life and FPL. Either you play it safe and follow the template or you go for ...
Guardiola’s City empire was falling apart like a house of cards until a while ago. But has he got his new trump card to salvage the season? Savio, also known as Savinho, who arrived in the summer from Troyes, has smacked 27pts in the last two games. At a price of £6.5m, you can own ...
Life and FPL don’t follow a particular graphical movement. At least, in most of the cases, the wind changes direction and that too very fast. Alejandro Garnacho(£6m), the Manchester United academy graduate who won the ‘Premier League Goal of the Season’ last year, appears to have fallen out from the top draw at Old Trafford. ...
Mikel Arteta has now not only lost his side’s FA Cup dreams but also in-form striker Gabriel Jesus, in last Sunday’s encounter with old foes Manchester United. The 27-year-old Brazilian talisman, who seemed to have gotten his lost touch back in recent weeks, got injured during the FA Cup third-round loss to United. It was ...
If you look at the photo listed at Nicolas Jackson’s FPL profile, the Chelsea frontman will resemble an Angry Young Man from the fifties. Coming straight outta John Osborne’s Look Back in Anger. However, 20% of the FPL managers are angry with Jackson at the moment. Because he has stopped delivering attacking returns since gameweek ...
How do you wake up an FPL manager on a wintry morning? Try saying ‘Double Gameweek’ to their ears. ‘Transfer Deadline’ is another smart alternative. We have already crossed the halfway mark in Fantasy Premier League 2024-25, with fiery discussions revolving around the template. But something is still missing … The excitement of a double ...
Hey! Wait, what? Bayindir? You mean, Altay Bayindir? Yes. Has he scored a point yet in the Fantasy Premier League 2024-25? No. You must be joking Mr. Paul! No, I am not. It’s not everyday that you write a feature on someone who hasn’t played a single game in the Premier League this season, forget ...
What happens when you have a phenomenal attacker who also happens to be a creator, next to you? Yes, he takes away the major share of the limelight but amplifies your chances of scoring more goals. That’s what has happened with Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa. Thomas Frank’s side are an absolute joy to ...
