    The Technical Area – Wilshere Gets Creative

    Filed under: The Technical Area - Posted by: Paul

    While there’s little doubt that Theo Walcott is the Arsenal Fantasy midfielder of choice these days, Jack Wilshere’s Fantasy potential has also taken a turn for the better in recent weeks. Analysing the statistics over the last four Gameweeks, it’s perhaps something of a surprise to see the Gunners midfielder as the most creative midfielder [...]

    The Technical Area – Suarez and Sturridge In Tandem

    Filed under: The Technical Area - Posted by: Paul

    A 5-0 home hammering of Norwich last Saturday helped Liverpool to their biggest win of the season as Brendan Rodgers handed Daniel Sturridge his first league start as the lone forward.

    Technical Area – Taarabt the Main Man for Harry

    Filed under: The Technical Area - Posted by: Paul

    According to Harry Redknapp, it seems a strop in the Gameweek 16 clash with Wigan could be the turning point in Adel Taarabt’s 2012/13 campaign. While the Moroccan took unkindly to being subbed off during the draw against Roberto Martinez’s outfit, it afforded his new boss the chance to sit Taarabt down and, following an [...]

    Filed under: The Technical Area - Posted by: Paul

    The Technical Area – Fulham’s Attacking Dilemma

    Filed under: The Technical Area - Posted by: Paul

    The summer departure of Clint Dempsey to Tottenham had many Fantasy managers worried that the goals would dry up for Fulham this term. Martin Jol’s side have shown little ill-effects of the American’s decision to move to pastures new, however, and, with a trio of new arrivals offering alternatives up front, the Cottagers have already [...]

    The Technical Area – Arsenal Under Analysis

    Filed under: The Technical Area - Posted by: Paul

    A scrambled, and somewhat dubious, late Mikel Arteta goal against QPR was enough to earn Arsenal their first home win since the Gameweek 4 hammering of Southampton last weekend but, once again, Arsene Wenger’s side failed to impress. While the return of Jack Wilshere was the media’s main focal point, there was a couple of [...]
