GW9: Dos and Don'ts

Talk is cheap. Show me the Money. West Ham v Brighton The Hammers seem to be steadily improving as the season goes on and that is refreshing to see. They have kept 4 clean sheets in the last 6 matches in all competitions, with one of them being the crazy 2-3 againsta Spurs. Last gameweek they managed to get a draw in spite of playing a man down -although the way it happened should feel more like two points lost than one gained-. The visitors are having a hard time away from home and we cannot see them scoring in this one as they have only scored one away goal so far, at Bournemouth DOs: Fonte (4.9): Get those clean sheet points Chicarito (7.0): We can see him being the one to break the Brighton bus Gross (5.7): We wouldn't suggest getting him now, but he is definitely an investment for the future at the moment. Bench him if you have him. DON'Ts: Ryan. Can't see him keeping a clean sheet Knockaert. Many jumped on the Knockaert bandwagon early in the seaso...

The League of the Nations

Premier League. The best league in the world ™. Where amazing happens. Where transfer deadline day becomes a national event and Leicester win the League before Liverpool. It goes without saying, it is only in the Premier League where you can see a goal of divine beauty such as this... Right before or after something like this... But, h ave you ever thought how would the Premier League be without foreign football players? Can you imagine Arsene Wenger's Arsenal without a French football player? Would be possible the emergence of new superpowers at the league like Chelsea and City with only heavy funding and limited restriction on foreign players? On the other hand, how do you think an all-spanish team would fare in the Premier League? Or an all-scandinavian one? And last, the most important question; how much more difficult (or fun) would it be to create your desired fantasy football team if you had only to choose among English football players? Enter ...

GW3: The LFC Perspective

"This is Football" screamed Jurgen Klopp to the Anfield Main Stand after Emre Can netted the third Liverpool goal of the night against a lost and overwhelmed Hoffenheim side. That was football indeed and the fluidity, pace and composure of his men screeched of class and determination. He was still reminded, however that his side's downfall will not be its potent attack. I will be his defense, when Uth scored minutes after entering the match as substitute. Liverpool's free-flowing football has been a signature since Rodgers took over, with last year's Liverpool taking it to the next level. The signs are even better so far this season, but having kept one clean sheet in 4 competitive matches will always remind Liverpool that they need to plug their defensive holes if they are to have a successful season. /r/punchablefaces Next up, Arsenal. It is always exciting to play Arsenal. They always play proper football. Almost too proper for their own good som...
