I mentioned on the Scoutcast that this season has definitely been a season of having to change my opinion on certain players and not holding grudges/biases. Around GW5 last year I went for Jimenez…

Where do our armband affections lie this week then, folks? Jamie Vardy leads the Captains Poll with over 1 in 3 managers favouring the Leicester talisman and it’s easy to see why - ‘Mr Reliab…

A question for the old timers like myself. With the decade closing and team of the decade picks flying around everywhere whether for clubs or leagues, it is time for an FPL team of the decade. Who …
