    Scouting The Doubles – West Brom

    Filed under: Scouting The Doubles - Posted by: Jonty

    Sitting pretty in eighth place in the Premier League, West Brom have nothing left to play for other than pride. With 14 points separating them from a Europa League place and 17 points from relegation, some feel that manager Steve Clarke has a tough job getting his players out of bed in the morning, let [...]

    The Watchlist – Stephane Sessegnon

    Filed under: The Watchlist - Posted by: Jonty

    Stephane Sessegnon may have only just hit the 100 point mark in the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game but there are signs he could emerge as a bona fide prospect as Sunderland prepare for a favourable run of opponents in the short-term.

    The Watchlist – Papiss Cisse

    Filed under: The Watchlist - Posted by: Jonty

    He may be currently sitting as lowly as 25th in the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) rankings for forward but there’s reason to be optimistic for Newcastle’s Papiss Cissé. With former team mate and compatriot Demba Ba now nursing a broken nose and sweating over rotation issues under Rafa Benitez, Cissé is once again afforded the [...]

    The Watchlist – Lukas Podolski

    Scouting the Doubles – Chelsea

    Filed under: Scouting The Doubles - Posted by: Jonty

    It’s de ja vu time as we brace ourselves for Chelsea’s second double Gameweek of the season. This time around the London side travel to Stoke before hosting Southampton three days later. Back during the Blues’ double Gameweek 1, decisions over which player to back ended up being season defining – those who backed Eden [...]

    The Watchlist – Juan Mata

    Filed under: The Watchlist - Posted by: Jonty

    The appointment of Rafael Benitez as Chelsea manager on November 21 was one of those heart-sinking moments Fantasy managers experience each season. Suddenly a solid offensive unit of nailed-on stars was to be managed by a man known more for squad rotation and defensive strategy than attacking swagger. For Juan Mata owners, it was a [...]

    Scouting The Doubles – Reading

    Filed under: Scouting The Doubles - Posted by: Jonty

    On paper, Reading will hardly fill Fantasy managers with optimism ahead of the forthcoming double Gameweek. Languishing in the relegation zone, last season’s Championship winners are four points from safety and have just one win in 15 games, but a delve into their recent statistics reveals some gems who have a half-decent chance of racking [...]

“I love to attack and I love to go up front...It is a little more difficult than when you are playing centre-back. If you play the way that I want to play, I think my influence is better as a left-back. For the team, it is best that I play as a centre-back. I like to bring the ball out. You need to move the game quickly, and that is one of my qualities as well.”

Jan Vertonghen outlines what he feels is his best position for Andre Villas-Boas
