    The Digest- Gameweek Twenty One

    Filed under: The Digest - Posted by: Mark

    The curtain has fallen on gameweek twenty-one, prompting our regular round-up. We take a look at a certain Swansea winger who has come to the fore, the increased stability of Man City’s defence and, of course, sign off by drawing a line under “those” assists awarded to Wayne Rooney in the win over Bolton…

    The Knee Jerk – United Rip It Up

    Filed under: Scout Reports, The Knee Jerk - Posted by: Mark

    Manchester United have just joined Edin Dzeko in turning Gameweek three upside down. In 90 minutes of football, United simply blitzed a bewildered Arsenal, ravaged by injury and suspension, ill-equipped and unprepared for the waves of United attacks and individual brilliance thrown at them. For Fantasy owners of Wayne Rooney and Ashley Young, United’s 8-2 [...]
