GW3 Review: Manchester United flying as Crystal Palace continue to falter

Wow, who doesn’t just love the international break? After the excitement and drama brought on by the brilliant England national team, I’m sure all you football fans will be disappointed to return to the comparative dullness of the Premier League. Draft Fantasy for the Champions League is coming soon! Register your interest now! Have you got what it takes? I really hope everyone could detect the ever so subtle sarcasm there.

GAMEWEEK 2 REVIEW – PART TWO

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.

“Attack wins you games, defence wins you titles.” A famous quote from arguably the greatest manager of all time, Sir Alex Ferguson. Ferguson built 13 premier league title-winning teams on a solid defence. While I can’t say for sure how many draft fantasy football titles Sir Alex won, I think that there’s still some truth in his words for us draft managers. I am sure you have all got to the point where you have done your draft and you probably have 3 or 4 defenders from the top 7 teams. That leaves you at least one slot to...
