Life is confusing enough when you own one of Everton’s carousel of attacking players without the club’s graphics department making things even worse. Niasse starts.Niasse benched... Read more
Fantasy Premier League managers everywhere love a good moan about the allocation of bonus points – usually when one of their players gets short-changed. This week was very different, though. The bonus points system itself is a laudable endeavour, ostensibly designed to spread the points around... Read more
Gameweek 27 is almost upon us – and it can’t come soon enough for most Fantasy Premier League managers. The previous Gameweek began in fairly surreal fashion when, just before deadline, Phil Jones’ sister inadvertently broke the news that the popular defender wouldn’t be playing. Hope... Read more

Gameweek 24 had an air of nostalgia for Fantasy Premier League managers, as we watched former legends of the game come to the fore again. A hat-trick from Sergio Aguero (MCI, 11.8) sparked fond memories of the ‘always captain Kun’ days when we barely had to... Read more

Last week, the term #kanexit was coined by frustrated Fantasy Premier League managers looking to offload the top-priced Spurs man after some inconsistent form. It’s unlikely to be heard again anytime soon. Two hat-tricks later and those questions about whether Harry Kane is worth that £12.8m... Read more
