  1. There’s a spot of “rebranding” going on here, with our former “On The Radar” articles that offered short-term player recommendations now being badged up as the new snappy and ingenious “Spot The Differential”. It’s an easy concept, these regular articles will be delivered to you as we near the Gameweek deadline, in an attempt to [...]

    With Cesc Fabregas’ hamstring injury sidelining the Arsenal talisman for two to three weeks, many a Fantasy Premier League (FPL) manager will be weighing up their alternatives for the upcoming gameweek. Cesc owners will be particularly ruing the fact that the Gunners are playing host to West Brom this Saturday, a game where the Spaniard [...]

  3. Carlos Salcido made a spirited and inspired Fulham debut last weekend at Blackburn. While that’s just one game, Salcido’s performance and the statistics he turned in, suggests that he will be more than capable of providing respectable Fantasy returns for the long haul.  With a very reasonable run of fixtures on the horizon (EVE, whm, TOT, [...]

Signed from Dutch champions FC Twente as a replacement for Mario Melchiot, the 26 year old arrives at the DW stadium at the peak of his career having just won Twente’s player [...]

For those of you unfamiliar, “On the Radar” is a quick look at slightly more unfashionable players who could may just be worth a punt in the upcoming gameweek… Following their last-ditch 1-0 defeat at The [...]

    With double gamers at a premium, Adebayor stood out early in the week as a worthy consideration for those willing to double up on City forward or those searching for a differential to Tevez to close a gap.  He’s gone on the backburner in the past 24+ hours with doubts about his fitness due to [...]

“Alex Chamberlain played three games for the first time in his career. He had a stiff neck at half-time, so I did not want to take a gamble with him. Then we had a problem with Koscielny, and I wanted to give some playing time to Benayoun.”

Arsene Wenger explains why Van Persie wasn't substituted in the 7-1 win over Blackburn following pre-game talk of the Dutch hitman needing rest
