    Frisking the Fixtures – Gameweek 34 – The Weak

    Filed under: Frisking the Fixtures - Posted by: Paul

    With plenty of factors to consider, we’ve taken the unusual measure of splitting our weekly regular into two individual pieces. Having analysed The Strong yesterday, we take a look at those clubs with less than favourable schedules over the last five Gameweeks of the current campaign:

    Frisking the Fixtures – Gameweek 34 – The Strong

    Filed under: Frisking the Fixtures - Posted by: Paul

    With so many permutations to consider – double Gameweeks, Europa League and FA Cup Final – we’ve decided to break down our weekly regular into two parts. The first half focuses on those sides with strong upcoming schedules and also assesses those clubs with doubles on the horizon, with rest and rotation set to bite [...]

    Chelsea’s win in yesterday lunchtime’s FA Cup Sixth Round replay over United has a significant impact in our assessment of the fixture list.

    Frisking the Fixtures – Gameweek 29

    Filed under: Frisking the Fixtures - Posted by: Paul

    Our weekly regular is somewhat at the mercy of the Premier League schedulers this time round. With Fantasy managers eagerly awaiting new dates for City’s home clash with Wigan and United’s trip to West Ham, we’re working on the premise that neither match will take place in Gameweek 29…

    Frisking the Fixtures – Gameweek 28

    Filed under: Frisking the Fixtures - Posted by: Paul

    Gameweek 29 plays a significant part in our thinking, with two matches currently cancelled due to the FA Cup Sixth Round and two more to possibly fall by the wayside. Nevertheless, plenty of sides look primed for favourable runs, with Liverpool, Chelsea and Newcastle amongst the stand-out options…

“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.”
