Fantasy Football – Gameweek 12
We’re back!! After missing out last week we bring you the best fantasy tips for Game Week 12. First up: Fantasy Yirma: Six goals in his last four Etihad Stadium appearances in all competitions mark Alvaro Negredo (£9.1m) out as the man Spurs have to stop in the contest, and at £2.8m cheaper than Argentina’s Aguero (£11.9m), he […]
Zonal Marking: United 1 Arsenal 0
…The word ‘cagey’ is generally used to describe matches that are slow to get going, but this was an interesting contest because it was simultaneously rather defensive, yet also played at a high tempo. With just one shot in the first half hour, neither side were attacking particularly dangerously, but this was partly because both […]
Fantasy football has serious downsides
…I signed up for a fantasy football league. It has become clear this was a mistake. Patjim Kasami scored a chest-and-volley for Fulham last month that was thrilling, unforgettable, as good as that bit in Apollo 13 where they don’t burn up on re-entry – and I watched it miserably.

Dortmund 0 Arsenal 1
Tactical Analysis Jürgen Klopp was keen to highlight the difference in style between Dortmund and Arsenal when interviewed by English journalists earlier this week. “[Arsène Wenger] likes having the ball, playing football, passes … it’s like an orchestra,” the Dortmund manager said. “But it’s a silent song, yeah? I like heavy metal.” With that analysis in mind, this […]
Tactics: David Moyes is making mark at Manchester United
The most obvious feature of David Moyes’s coaching philosophy is his emphasis upon width – asking his central midfielders to spread the play, and encouraging the full-backs forward to create overloads with the wide midfielders. This was an unspectacular performance from Manchester United but suggested Moyes’s players are becoming familiar with their duties. At Everton, Moyes created the […]
