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
Whilst Alvaro Morata and Romelu Lukaku are the ones that are taking all the plaudits since their summer moves, Arsenal’s club-record signing Alexandre Lacazette is going slightly under the radar. Fancy your chances of winning cash playing Fantasy Football each week? Try your hand at our Lightning Dr
