After cruising past Senegal in a 3-0 victory, England now finds themselves in the final 8, and by extension, one step closer to making history. This World Cup‘s English contingent has a rather special aura around it, packed with brimming young talents and some vastly experienced veterans, the squad balance is top-notch. And aside from ...
Newcastle United’s newfound wealth ever since they changed ownership has meant they can go after transfer targets that were previously deemed unattainable. It started with Bruno Guimaraes, who arrived for £40m in January. Trippier and Pope strengthened the backline, among other incomings. Alexander Isak was bought in from Real Sociedad in the summer, with the ...
The dreaded GW12 is upon us. With Man City and Arsenal fixture blanks, this is anyway a challenging week to field a playing XI in FPL. To add to that, Tuesday’s deadline is quite possibly the shortest turnaround time one could possibly get. With just one full day between game weeks, managers need to be ...
Haaland blanks in FPL. There. That’s the headline. Liverpool’s somewhat surprising victory over Manchester City ended a very exciting Premier League GW. A much better weekend for defenders, and not so much for the attackers, here is Thick Accent’s FPL review for GW11. You can check out the final results here. Winners: Alisson A clean ...
In this post, we take a look at the weekend’s Premier League action and analyse some FPL prospects and transfers. But before we get into discussing GW11, make sure you read about how to deal with Man City and Arsenal blanks to stay ahead of the curve. Fixtures: Liverpool v Manchester City will end what ...
It is almost customary to stock up on players from top-table clubs in your FPL teams. After all, these are the ones that are scoring consistently, keeping clean sheets, and putting in good performances. Of course, that is not to say that players from other clubs are universally ignored. But rarely will you find an ...
Saturday was largely a template day of this season’s Premier League, with expected winners winning, Haaland scoring and Leicester losing. While day 1 of Gameweek 10 did not provide us with any glaring surprises, it still had plenty to offer FPL-wise. Here is our analysis of the hits and misses from Saturday’s action. The Hits ...
The much-hailed Premier League Derby Weekend certainly did not disappoint, with plenty of action and reaction for everyone and their brother. Just when our blood pressures were returning to normalcy, on came mid-week European football. Thus far, no PL side has lost this week, with wins for Man City (no surprise who scored the ...
The international break is almost over and Premier League football is back, and of course, so is FPL. The return of club football brings with it two tasty derbies to feast upon – the Manchester Derby and the North London Derby. And then there are a host of other matches that are bound to bring ...
After a one-week hiatus, the focus is well and truly back on Premier League and obviously, FPL. We have discussed wildcards, forwards and defenders at length but one area of the pitch that hasn’t been touched upon is the midfield. This season, the FPL midfield picks have been less clear than as the season has ...
It was a total celebratory mood that engulfed the blue side of Manchester last month as Man City successfully defended their Premier League crown. It was not an easy campaign for the club which saw heavy competition from Liverpool and ultimately could seal the title with a one-point lead on the final day. While some ...
The dream of being a professional footballer is one that is shared by many, though only a few end up realizing it. The luxurious lifestyle that comes with being a star on the field makes the profession all the more fascinating, one that is likely to arouse envy. Leicester star James Maddison is certainly one ...
Liverpool’s home turf is one of Europe’s most intimidating stadiums to play at, as far as visiting teams are concerned. And if that wasn’t already a piece of common knowledge, James Maddison’s claim about Anfield should put to bed any notions suggesting otherwise. The Reds entertained visiting Leicester City for a quarter-final draw of the ...
Leicester ran riot against Newcastle last night at the King Power Stadium, as the Foxes secured an emphatic 4-0 victory following their Europa League exit in Naples. Despite having their talisman striker Jamie Vardy on the bench, Brendan Rodgers’ men swept past the Magpies with relative ease. James Maddison was at the heart of everything ...
The upcoming Premier League season witnessed the traditional curtain-raiser being played out between Leicester City and Manchester City. The FA Cup winners and the Premier League winners of the past season met in the FA Community Shield, as the Foxes got one over the Citizens courtesy of Kelechi Iheanacho’s late penalty – and it was ...
James Maddison was sorely missed as Leicester blew their hopes of playing in the Champions League next season in a race that went down to the final matchday of the Premier League. Maddison had to undergo surgery after sustaining a back injury during training back in June as the Foxes star missed the end of ...
