Fantasy Football: Manchester United and Manchester City to clean up this weekend
Crisis. That’s what the papers are saying. A team in crisis, a manager who is losing the plot. No, I’m not talking about Liverpool here. This is about the Baroque Social! A bad week for me in the Fantasy League, but a memorable one for most. Unless, of course, you happen to be a Wigan…
Fantasy Football: Injuries to Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United forcing changes
So the last international break of the noughties has been and gone, we know who will be lining up in South Africa next summer, and we know that Robin Van Persie’s ligaments will soon be enjoying the sweet, sweet smell of placenta fluid as he looks to regain the momentum lost in another meaningless friendly….
Fantasy Football: Its all about Arsenal and Manchester City this week
Eight red cards, thirty two goals and more talking points than a Peter Andre exclusive, Gameweek 11 had everything. Even by the implausibly high standards set in Fantasy Football, this week was a bit special. Whether you winced as Shay Given batted away James McFadden’s penalty, rejoiced as Jamie Carragher finally got his comeuppance, or…
Fantasy Football: Pick Manchester United and Aston Villa players this week
It was a momentous week in the Premier League, as we saw Arsenal give further ammunition to those who claim they have a soft centre with a late collapse at West Ham, Nemanja Vidic pick up a third successive red card against Liverpool, Harry Redknapp beg Aaron Lennon not to leave him and Liam Ridgewell…
Fantasy Football: avoid Manchester United and Liverpool players this weekend
It was a weekend dominated by beach balls, by petty squabbles and by surprise results.

It all went into the…
Fantasy Football Weekly Review: All Hail Fabregas!
Just when you think you couldn’t have any more love for a footballer, Cesc Fabregas goes and does something stupid like that! A goal, four assists, and a performance that even De Niro would have been proud of, and the Spaniard is guiding teams up and down the country to Fantasy League glory. He wasn’t…
Fantasy Football Week 8: Time for James and Owen to go
Fernando Torres & Robbie Keane could have been the deadliest double act since Starsky & Hutch, had Rafa Benitez not thought otherwise. As it happens they had to settle last week for separate feats, separate plaudits, and separate points hauls. Torres could realistically have expected to be the week’s king in the Fantasy League with…
Fantasy Football Week 7: Classy Defenders and Wing Wizards
Seven goals, seven minutes of added time, seven players from the Big Four in the team of the week. Yes, the big boys claimed back their rightful place at the top of the Premier League table last week, the pretenders of Manchester City & Tottenham slotted firmly into their place. Wins for Chelsea, Manchester United,…
Fantasy Football Week 5 – Hail the Unsung Heroes
Andy Reid, Jason Roberts, David Dunn. What do they all have in common? No, it isn’t that at regular intervals, their respective managers have prefixed the mentioning of their names with a string of expletives, bemoaning their inconsistency/fitness/existence. It isn’t even that they have, at some stage of their careers, been signed for a sum…
Fantasy Football Week 3: Who’s in your team?
“Do you lose points for an own goal????” That was the question on most people’s lips during the Liverpool v Villa game on Monday night wasn’t it? Or was that just me? Yeah it was probably just me based on the facts that a) I am the only man sad enough to worry about Fantasy…
