The gurus behind the Metro Game have recently sent us word that they ventured into the realm of Ipod apps, handing those multi-tasking Fantasy Managers the opportunity to play tinkerman on the move.

Over pre-season we had a look at the game in great depth and when it comes to gameplay this is just more of the same, unsurprisingly given that it’s the same game built directly for the on-the-go iPhone user.

The interface is incredibly smooth and allows you to do everything you can do on your laptop or desktop PC with just as much, if not more, ease; whether it be making that urgent transfer while you’re being dragged around H&M by the other half, or following the action via the live scoring as the points roll in.

If you’re serious about the challenge for that £15,000 first prize (I’ve already had the survey done on a new extension) – or maybe “just” even the iPad on offer for topping the Fantasy Football Scout league, then the 59p outlay of this app looks worth a punt.

      Yeah it's good 8/10.

      Only improvement for me is Tevez but would mean downgrading a midfielder which I'm guessing is something you've already pondered.

      Have you considered Coleman at the back?
      Alcaraz is also a good shout.

            anyway, its not his fault he isnt getting competitive football, he's been absolutely god awful tonight though, & he looked where he was kicking the penalty. F**ker might have just cost us qualification. I hope he makes a mends second half.

      Montenegro are playing the demon 6-4-0 formation. Can't blame them though, Mourinho would be proud of this defensive solidity.

      442 with Crouch is like herpes, it never goes away.

          It's a good point about the fixtures, and maybe Berbs will do the job short term with that fixture run. It's a close run thing though, but I would definitely say Tevez is a season long choice. This is possible one of those toss a coin moments.
