Tottenham have been on the rise since Mauricio Pochettino replaced Tim Sherwood as manager, but they are currently suffering from poor form and that could have major implications on Draft Fantasy. During the draft period before the start of the season, Spurs' players were at the top of a lot of mana
Game Week 16 will continue to rotate with congested fixtures, but this may be an easier window to predict than previous weeks as Champions League qualifying is assured for all English clubs except Liverpool, and the Manchester derby is expected to be near full strength, minus Paul Pogba, who is susp
Eden Hazard is quickly reaching his peak after missing the start of the season through injury and he now looks to be one of the best Draft Fantasy options heading into the festive period. At the time of writing, the Chelsea attacker has 55 points in the game. Considering he has been building up his
The Premier League could be set to get that little bit livelier once again after Zlatan Ibrahimovic defied initial expectations and returned from the sidelines for Manchester United a fortnight ago. It was thought that the recovery time for his cruciate knee ligament damage, picked up during the Eur
Game Week 14 comes on the heels of the last Premier League matches, and managing rotation will be the key for managers. Your most trustworthy defenders may be rested, and even the most prolific scorers can’t play every minute. Here are some players that might help you in for the midweek fixtures, an
Paul Pogba returned to Premier League action at the weekend to great effect as he delivered an excellent midfield performance to help Manchester United come from behind to beat Newcastle United. His comeback has major Draft Fantasy ramifications across the pitch at Old Trafford, with a number of pla
Arguably one of the most erratic footballers to grace the Premier League in recent seasons, Manchester United’s Marcos Rojo made his long-awaited return to the field on Wednesday night. The Argentine international had been side-lined since the end of April after suffering cruciate ligament damage bu
Bournemouth are in the midst of a mini-revival after a below-par start to the Premier League campaign, with Saturday’s win over Huddersfield Town their third in their last four top-flight games. Victories over Stoke City, Newcastle and most recently the Terriers have afforded boss Eddie Howe some br
It is no secret that Manchester City have been a dominant force across all competitions so far this season, not least because of their frightening strength in depth in the opposition third of the pitch. However, for all the talk of Sergio Aguero, Gabriel Jesus, Kevin de Bruyne and co. there has also
The most eye-catching match of the weekend will open up proceedings on Saturday as Arsenal meet Tottenham in the first North London derby of the season. Spurs have emerged as the more successful team during the last two years, but the Gunners will be confident of securing a positive result at home.
Manchester United will face Newcastle United this season in one of the most iconic fixtures in Premier League history. The Magpies are no longer a top force, but they remain relevant in English football and the renewal of a rivalry between two managers adds an extra layer of intrigue to the meeting
Due to a vast number of injuries to first-team regulars, Gareth Southgate’s England squad had a youthful and experimental feel to it for the recent friendlies against top sides Germany and Brazil. The lack of international experience certainly didn’t show on the pitch though, with the Three Lions ho
Whilst there wouldn’t have been many that were looking forward to a third international break in just ten weeks, one man who certainly benefitted from the latest England action is Jordan Pickford. Awarded his full national debut by Gareth Southgate as a result of a late injury sustained by Jack Butl
Manchester City, Chelsea, and Tottenham would love to resume from where they had left off, before the international break, while Manchester United should be looking out for some help from its hospital bed. Premier League and fixture congestion begin now and managers have to pick players with the fut
After starting his Manchester United career like a runaway train, Romelu Lukaku has fallen back down to Earth quickly with a barren record of no goals in his previous four top-flight appearances. It’s a stark contrast to how he started the year, scoring seven in his first seven league games – includ
We’re approaching the midway stage of the 2017/18 Premier League season and fantasy football fans should consider using their wildcard ahead of the busy festive period. A decent number of players may have already played the wildcard, which allows unlimited transfers during a set game week, earlier i
Source: Manchester City via Facebook With 11 game weeks already played, massive gulfs are beginning to show in the Fantasy Premier League rankings. Those who aren’t already in the top 1000 players have little chance of winning the game, but there is plenty still to play for in mini-leagues across t
Liverpool delivered one of their best performances of the season against West Ham United at the weekend. Their pressing was back to near its best and the movement of the attackers caused all sorts of problems. They scored four goals, but it could have been more on another day and supporters will ent
Chelsea returned to winning ways with a narrow victory over top-six rivals Manchester United. It was important that the team earned a positive result after the disastrous performance against Roma in the Champions League. Antonio Conte made a few tactical changes to the team and they worked wonders,
One of the more surprising stories to surface from the Premier League’s weekend football was that Chelsea defender David Luiz has seemingly fallen out of favour with manager Antonio Conte at Stamford Bridge. The Brazilian defender – re-signed by Conte for £34 million in 2016 – was left out of the st
It wasn’t the most surprising piece of breaking news in the world but Monday signalled the end of Slaven Bilic’s reign at the helm of West Ham after a turbulent beginning to their 2017-18 campaign. The Hammers have just two wins next to their name after the opening 11 games of the Premier League sea
With around a third of the games in the Premier League completed, it’s fair to say that we are already separating the men from the boys. Manchester City is already streaking ahead with 11 wins from 12 games and 34 points from a possible 36. At the other end of the table, poor old Crystal […]
Manchester City are brushing aside everyone in their path, Tottenham are growing in stature, Leicester City seem to be finding their swag back and Brighton are making a good account of themselves in the Premier League. Players from these teams can be the right lift that every Draft Fantasy manager n
The most eye-catching fixture this weekend in terms of quality and narrative will take place at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea welcome Manchester United to the capital. This fixture has been one of the Premier League’s best since Roman Abramovich bought the Blues, but it has taken on another dynamic in re
Sunday’s line-up of Premier League fixtures has thrown up a real treat ahead of the looming international break as Manchester United take the trip down south to face reigning champions Chelsea. It’s a heavyweight clash that’s always earmarked as the ‘one to watch’ from the second the fixture lists a
Manchester United have been one of the leading teams in the Premier League so far and they are emerging as the biggest challengers to Manchester City. Jose Mourinho is once again proving his managerial ability after two underwhelming seasons in the Premier League. Last season, the Portuguese manager
Two sides at opposite ends of the Premier League table will clash at the weekend in their final match before the international break when basement boys Crystal Palace take the short trip across London to face rivals Tottenham. Whilst on paper there won’t be many people giving Roy Hodgson’s side a ch
When it was announced back in early June that Arsenal were set to sign left-back Sead Kolasinac from Schalke on a free transfer, there weren’t too many Gunners fans that even batted an eyelid at the signing. The 23-year-old was unheard of outside of Germany and as such was a bit of an unknown entity
The Waiver Wire must go on, but it continues to be stretched thin as the must-haves (Leroy Sane, Pascal Gross, Phil Jones, Antonio Rudiger, and Davinson Sanchez) are already taken in many competitive leagues. Nevertheless, the powers that be continue to slowly shift, albeit more at a glacial pace ra

Considering the extremely high standards that Harry Kane has been setting in north London this season, Dele Alli will know that he hasn’t been at the top of his game in the opening nine matches. Last season the 21-year-old was sensational, scoring 18 times and assisting seven goals in 37 Premier Lea
The departure of Ronald Koeman from Everton will have an impact on Draft Fantasy Football just as Toffees fans will be hoping that it does in the dressing room at Goodison Park. With a new coach likely to change the team, it could be an ideal time for Draft Fantasy Football managers to consider thei
Arsenal were superb during their away victory over Everton and managed to score five goals at Goodison Park. The previous weekend’s defeat to Watford raised doubts about the commitment and quality of the current squad, but they responded in the perfect way with a dominant display. During the match,
The inevitable turned into a reality on Monday afternoon as Everton announced the sacking of manager Ronald Koeman following a turgid start to the season both on a domestic and a European front. The Toffees slipped into the relegation zone on Sunday afternoon after their latest defeat, a 5-2 thrashi
A dismal 3-0 home defeat at the hands of the newly-promoted Brighton & Hove Albion has left West Ham United hovering above the relegation zone on goal difference. It was a difficult evening for boss Slaven Bilic in front of the Sky cameras as Albion roared into a two-goal first-half lead. Thousands
Have you been paying attention to the ebbs and flows? Take Michy Batshuayi, for instance. His stock was up when Alvaro Morata pulled his hamstring, and then it went back down with his abysmal start two weeks ago. Then, when it seemed all hope was lost, Michy roared back with a game-winning performan
Manchester City are the firm favourites to win the Premier League title after emerging as the best team to watch in the division during the first nine matches of the 2017/18 campaign. The Citizens were inconsistent last season and frustrating to watch at times. However, Pep Guardiola has continued t
Chelsea managed to spare their blushes against Watford with a late turnaround to take all three points. Michy Batshuyi was the star as he came off the bench to score twice in the club's 4-2 victory, but the Blues’ defence will come under the microscope after another poor display. Last season, Antoni
Everton host Arsenal this weekend in what will be the early kick-off on Sunday. It is an intriguing contest as both sides are coming into the match needing a positive result. The home side find themselves near the foot of the table after a disappointing start, while the visitors lost to Watford last
With the Premier League clicking into a rhythm after the International break, it is important for the draft managers to follow suit. Here we look at the five best possible picks for the upcoming game week. David De Gea - Manchester United Joel Matip thought he had scored. Phil Coutinho thought he ha
In an exciting Sunday afternoon clash, Liverpool will travel to Wembley to face Tottenham. Both sides were involved in Champions League action in midweek, with the Reds thrashing Slovenian side Maribor 7-0 whilst Spurs earned a respectable 1-1 draw against reigning champions Real Madrid. Ahead of th
Tottenham's Danny Rose made his long-anticipated return from injury for Tottenham against Real Madrid during the week. The left-back has missed a big chunk of 2017 and has been missed by Spurs, but Ben Davies’ start to the season means that he is no longer a guaranteed starter under Mauricio Pochett
The previous round of Champions League fixtures turned into a tale of two hat-trick heroes, with Tottenham’s Harry Kane and Sevilla’s Wissam Ben Yedder both taking home the match ball. Kane’s treble proved enough to see off a gritty APOEL Nicosia in a 3-0 win for the Premier League side away in Cypr
Manchester United midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan started the season in great form and he quickly established himself as one of the better midfield options in Draft Fantasy. However, it is important that those that do own him watch his form closely and make an informed decision about keeping him in th
With the season well and truly underway, it is time to look at where your squad is dropping points and that will often mean that players sidelined by injury will be dropped in favour of in-form stars. The eager eyed Draft Fantasy Football manager will be looking to pick those players up on waivers b
At this point in the season, the waiver wire is likely becoming empty of real talent, so many managers will be better off waiting for their luck to change for their early Draft Fantasy picks who still haven’t produced (looking at you, Alexis Sanchez, Eden Hazard, and Roberto Firmino). Of recent sele
It certainly hasn’t been the best few weeks on the injury front for champions Chelsea, with in-form striker Alvaro Morata side-lined first and now midfield maestro N’Golo Kante picking up a knock on duty with France. The extent of the hamstring injury sustained by the 26-year-old powerhouse is as ye
During the summer, Philippe Coutinho wasn’t on the radar of Draft Fantasy managers, as his future at Liverpool was uncertain. Barcelona were in the running to sign the Brazilian and made a number of bids, as they tried to replace Neymar. However, the Reds were not willing to let the midfielder leave
Ben Davies - Tottenham Hostpur Ben Davies has recently experienced heartbreak with his national team Wales, but he is flying with his club side Tottenham. The wing-back already has two goals and three assists. He plays a key pass in the final third every 11 minutes, which is absolutely ridiculous an
With a turgid international break finally coming to an end, the Premier League is back with an almighty bang on Saturday as Manchester United and Liverpool face up in a heavyweight clash. Jurgen Klopp’s side will present the first real test of the visitor’s title credentials, with Jose Mourinho’s me
On paper, it is not the most exciting game of the weekend. A match-up between a team that narrowly avoided relegation last year and a newly-promoted side is never likely to catch the immediate headlines. Nonetheless, it will be an intriguing encounter on Saturday. Huddersfield Town have made an assu
Manchester United were handed yet another blow ahead of their crucial clash with fierce rivals Liverpool this weekend as Marouane Fellaini is set for a few weeks on the side-line through injury. The Belgian cult hero picked up the knock on international duty with Belgium, lasting less than 30 minute
With Sergio Aguero ruled out for as long as six weeks after breaking a rib in a car accident last week and Alvaro Morata hobbled off injured against Manchester City, a number of Draft Fantasy managers will be facing a tough few weeks ahead without their top scorers. With managers reliant on transfer
Cometh the hour, cometh the hero as far as Watford are concerned. For the second week in a row Richarlison – the bizarrely named £12 million summer arrival from Brazilian side Fluminense – scored a goal deep in injury-time to secure the Hornets some points. Last time out it was a 90th minute winner
The second international break is a good time to evaluate the season so far in terms of statistics and see if that matches the fantasy output. A key pass is a pass that directly leads to a shot, thus the players that produce key passes at the highest frequency are the ones most likely to […]
The Kante rule has added an extra dimension to Draft Fantasy this season as it provides value to those that may not regularly be involved in the attacking third. The defensive-minded midfielders now have a place in the game and the very best at retrieving the ball can now be better players to own th
The Waiver Wire article comes before the international break, so you have to wait two weeks until GW8 and monitor playing time and injury news for all the traveling players. But there are already a few names to consider picking up early. Michy Batshuayi, FWD, Chelsea There are conflicting reports on

Romelu Lukaku - Manchester United Manchester United courted Morata the entire summer only to pull the plug on the deal at the last moment, to sign Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku. So far, so good.

The Premier League has another international break on the horizon and this week is a great opportunity to put yourself in a strong position in Draft Fantasy heading into that. There are a number of big players returning from injury and finding their form, which means that trading could be crucial du
Any Draft Fantasy Football manager worth their salt will know that the most effective defensive pick is one often an attacking full-back who bombs down the wings and looks to get involved in attacking play. The high scoring displays of the likes of Kyle Walker, Danny Rose, Marcos Alonso and Victor M

Antonio Conte’s side have recovered nicely since their opening day defeat to Burnley, going five Premier Lea
Game Week 6 is in the books, and yet some of the highest performers are still under-owned in Draft Fantasy. Here are a few of the most intriguing players that might still be available in your standard scoring league. Oumar Niasse, FWD, Everton No two ways about it, this year's new look Everton squad
Tottenham are a reliable team for Draft Fantasy output with Harry Kane being the star. However, their two attacking midfielders, Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli, are both great players to own in the game. They are regular starters and are very influential in the final third. The former is more likel
West Ham came agonisingly close to pulling off a remarkable come-back in a fiery London derby against Tottenham on Saturday afternoon as Harry Kane’s first-half double proved the difference. The result will do nothing to ease the pressure on under-fire manager Slaven Bilic but, in the way they respo
Bournemouth’s struggles at the start of the new Premier League season can perhaps be accurately summarised by the fortunes of striker Joshua King, who had failed to score in his first five matches. The Norwegian international was by far their best player last season, scoring 16 goals in 36 Premier L
Whilst Chelsea’s 0-0 stalemate with Arsenal at Stamford Bridge last weekend somewhat stalled the momentum that Antonio Conte’s men have been building, they have a welcome boost ahead of Saturday. Talisman Eden Hazard safely negotiated his way through the whole 90 minutes on Wednesday night during Ch
Christian Eriksen - Tottenham Teams are beginning to sit deep, cede possession and frustrate Tottenham. The Swansea match was the perfect example for it. At times it looked it was a game that happened only in Swansea’s final third. West Ham is going to be no different. It is against such cramped opp
In a re-match of the London derby that all-but ended Tottenham’s Premier League title challenge last season, Mauricio Pochettino will be vying to bounce back from yet another Wembley set-back. The stakes may not be as high at the London Stadium this weekend but it’s an important match at both ends o
Leicester City and Liverpool will no doubt get a sense of déjà vu on Saturday evening when the Premier League rivals meet for the second time in the space of a few days for their league clash. Whilst both sides rested key players on Tuesday night, Craig Shakespeare and Jurgen Klopp will return to fu
You could almost hear the collective groan around Turf Moor last Sunday when goalkeeper Tom Heaton fell to the floor in a heap, leaving the field promptly and requiring surgery on his shoulder. The almost unheard-of Nick Pope came on with around an hour left to play, and there was an understandable
With the shadow of Sadio Mane’s three-match suspension hanging over their heads, Liverpool supporters would have been delighted to see Philippe Coutinho’s return on Saturday afternoon. The 25-year-old – who was the subject of one of the biggest transfer sagas of the summer, with a move to Barcelona
There are several players beginning to break through at their clubs and could prove to offer good options on waivers and free agency. One player that won’t be owned in a lot of leagues is Manchester United's Ashley Young. That isn’t a surprise as he looked an unwanted man at the beginning of the sea
The Waiver Wire article has to dig deep this week in the absence of many breakthrough performances, and many previous selections becoming higher owned. However, there are some good players still available who are looking to return to their former glory. Davinson Sánchez, DEF, Tottenham Sánchez (7% o

There were teething problems, but it has started to click and they look a terrifying team in the final third. On Saturday, they ran out 6-0 winners against Watford and it could have
Harry Kane - Tottenham He started the week at 99 goals and midway through the week, he is at 103, with the four goals coming against Everton, perennial top six contenders, and Borussia Dortmund, perennial dark horses. Kane has, so far, had 99 touches in the final third, of which 33 have been inside

One of the most eye-catching transfer swoops of deadline day was Swansea City's signing of Renato Sanches on a season long loan from Bayern Munich. The youngster demanded a £40 million fee only a year ago after being named the best young player at Euro 2016, so is he worth adding to your Draft Fanta
Arguably the biggest signing of transfer deadline day last week came in the form of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, with the England midfielder moving from Arsenal to Liverpool in a £35 million switch. The 24-year-old topped off a productive summer for the Merseyside club, joining Mohamed Salah, Andy Rober
In Draft Fantasy Football, it is better to aim for long-term rather than short-term gains and it is crucial not to be too hasty when deciding to get rid of a player based on poor form. That said, a player with depreciating value could be worth trading out for one that is on the rise. […]
It is probably fair to say that Mamadou Sakho’s Liverpool exit was a long time in the making after falling out of favour with Jurgen Klopp upon the German’s arrival at Anfield in the summer of 2015. The 27-year-old was outcast from the Liverpool squad – let alone the starting eleven – and eventually
“I've come here to help Tottenham to win the title”. This is what Tottenham Hotspurs’ deadline day signing, Fernando Llorente, had to say on his own move and he couldn’t have been more correct. Title challenges require versatility, endurance and above all a good back-up. Barring the tip of the attac
Antonio Conte is a very particular manager, and he wants his Chelsea players to be in synch with his playing philosophy. His three-at-the-back formation last season made a star out of Marcos Alonso who played so far up the pitch he could often have mistaken for an out-and-out winger instead of a def
Ligue 1 teams haven’t fared greatly in the Champions League recently, but the emergence of Monaco last season means that they now have more than one threat in the competition. PSG have taken the headlines this summer with their transfer business and they enter the tournament as one of the favourites
With only three Italian sides in the group stages of the Champions League in 2017/18, Draft Fantasy players could easily forget the importance of Serie A.

Southampton 3 - West Ham 2 This was a surprisingly dangerous display from the West Ham attack, and also a surprisingly incompetent display from Southampton's defense. After the south coast side's solid defensive performance in the 0-0 draw in game week 1, I would have put a hefty bet on the Saints t
Gameweek 2 came around in the blink of an eye, and it certainly didn't disappoint.

Stoke City's latest Champions League winner, following in the footsteps of Ibrahim Afellay, Xerdan Shaqiri (16%), and others, is former Real-Madridista and on-loan Paris Saint-Germain man Jesé Rodríguez Ruiz. You can just call him Jesé, for short. And remember the name, because Jesé was the hero in
Hopefully you’ve secured a good position in your league table during the first two weeks of the season.

Chelsea 2 - Burnley 3 What a roller coaster of a game this was. The champions going 3-0 down on the first day of the new season, with media chaos ensuing. Words including "crisis" and "meltdown" have been thrown about when describing the London club. I would not be so quick to write Chelsea off [&he
As a Swansea fan, a little piece of me died when I saw the words "Sigurdsson left out of Swansea squad" for the match against Southampton.

Robbie Brady, MID It's been over a year since Robbie Brady scored to give Ireland a memorable win over Italy in Euro 2016. His well-taken goal that Summer was in many ways, his world introduction to the story of a man named Brady. As Brady begins his first full season at Burnley, having signed last

During the opening weekend of the Premier League, many players impressed, but it is important not to get carried away by one performance.

Nemanja Matic rejoined Chelsea in 2014 and stamped his authority at the Club by claiming the Man of the Match award at his first Premier League start against Manchester City, helping Chelsea end City’s then unbeaten run at the Etihad Stadium.

"Attack wins you games, defence wins you titles." A famous quote from arguably the greatest manager of all time, Sir Alex Ferguson.

It's that time of the season again. Premier League fantasy football managers are having sleepless nights because they have too many options at their disposal. To be a top Premier League fantasy football manager or to at least strive for a top position one has to be consistent. An average of 60 point

Everyone would choose Agüero if they could: but since it’s a draft, only one manager can have him. Little by little, your options narrow down, and that's where the differences come to play. Y
With GW37 having 10 teams with a pair of games I am going to switch things up a little bit. I am a firm believer in these situations that you should stack your lineup to the max so instead of doing the usual individual game previews I am going to focus on those 10 […]
It's never easy to be the best at anything, but consistently being the best at Premier League fantasy football is basically impossible. Every league calls the champion of their league something, but how about winning 3 or even 4 times in a row? This deserves a special title. Let's call it the Prem

Ok Premier League Fantasy Football managers, let's not dwell on GW34 too much. Needless to say, I bet we all learned a little something when it comes to backing Middlesbrough's attacking options and Palace's defenders in a DGW. I sure did as my 12pt Daniels bench performance stared at me for most
We are getting into the nitty gritty of the Premier League Fantasy Football season as we begin the final stretch which is littered with Doubles and in this Gameweek a Blank also. The first thing to note from GW34 is that West Brom do not play so you will have to decide whether your […]
Gameweek 33 should be relatively free of disruptions for Premier League Fantasy Football managers as the majority of teams will have had a week off other than Leicester and Man Utd. It is also worth noting that the Double Gameweeks are beginning once again starting next week so you may want to kee
With just two days between Gameweeks the action is coming fast for Premier League Fantasy Football managers and is leading to injury and rotation issues that is making some of us, you guessed it, furious.

Ahhhhhhhh...a full 10 games on the slate for this upcoming Premier League Fantasy Football GameWeek 29 should have Draft Fantasy managers feeling much better about their selections, and hopeful of a much higher score. Lots to talk about, especially the emergence of some new fantasy royalty in the
Lallana: "6 Blanks? Nooooooooooooo!" Coutinho: "Adam, relax, we play Burnley at home" It is true, there are only 4 games for Premier League Fantasy Football managers to try to create a team from this GW28...no that is not a typo, just 4 games 😱. As usual I will preview these matchups, going a littl
