EPL WEEK 30 RECAP We’re back with another EPL Fantasy recap, looking at the going’s on in game week 30. This is not just another round up of the results and implications of the 10 games that went on this past weekend, instead we look at the players who are giving you good Fantasy value now and who might do in the coming weeks and also the players that might be on the way out

All I can say about the weekend just gone is WOW! Goals goals and goals made the weekend one of the most thrilling of the season. We saw a hat trick from Suárez, goal of the season contenders from Yaya Touré, Wayne Rooney and ….. Alexander Tettey! With Chelsea putting 6 past Arsenal, Liverpool putting six past Cardiff and Man City five past Fulham it’s safe to say it wasn’t a weekend for defence. So

Gameweek 31 is upon us, and with it presents some interesting lineup decisions due to some teams playing this weekend and then again mid week. Do you take a risk and spend your transfers on some guys who’ll play twice, or do you sit tight with the roster that’s got you to this point? To quote the legendary Michael Scott: “It is what you would call a classic difficult decision.” Okay, so maybe it’s not that

Heading into the 2013/2014 campaign, Leighton Baines was the prized defensive player to have for fantasy lineups, and for good reason. In his 7 year career with Everton he’s racked up 19 goals, 40 assists, kept 29 clean sheets, and played 263 complete games. All the while being promoted to the senior level English national team and is included on the short list of the best Left Backs in the world. He’s been the model of consistency, and

Week 30 has thrown the premier league back up in the air at both ends of the table and with 15 games falling in week 31 we could be in for a thrilling game week both in terms of the league and your fantasy teams. Some leagues are treating all 15 games as one game week so initially I will cover all the games in this article but for those who play on websites which

The return of a full slate of action in Gameweek 30 is a welcomed sight to that of fantasy players, as the list of usual suspects chosen for starting 11′s is at our disposal. And while the other games are sure to provide us with a few surprises, it’s the Sunday games that will no doubt draw most of the early headlines. Sunday opens with Manchester United seeking revenge for their early season loss at Anfield as

For the first time since I started doing this article, two weeks ago, we have a full slate of games meaning that injuries are your biggest worry this week now you don’t have to scan your roster for those guys not playing. Friday 14.03.14 @ 4pm ET Update: Hull City, Man City, Everton, Cardiff, Fulham, Newcastle, Southampton, Stoke, West Ham, Sunderland, Crystal Palace, Swansea, West Brom, Aston Villa, Chelsea, Man United, Liverpool, Tottenham and Arsenal.

    I got a fever, and the only prescription is more Ox Bell!   Last week I wrote about how Mesut Özil might be in line to turn things around, and not only help the Gunners cling to their fading title hopes, but also justify fantasy owners’ restoring him to their lineups. And, after a stellar FA Cup showing against Everton, it looked like I might be right (and for the record, still could be). But then,

With another week of the English Premier League in the books, it was a week most fantasy managers are happy to see pass. A week that only saw half the league’s clubs participate in league fixtures due to Cup participation. A majority of fantasy managers were likely between a rock and a hard place. Do you burn your wild card? Do you burn multiple of your limited transfers? Or, just decide to suffer through the

  But you didn’t have to cut me off Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing And I don’t even need your love But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough No you didn’t have to stoop so low Have your friends collect your records and then change your number I guess that I don’t need that though Now you’re just somebody that I used to know

That’s right, fans of the Prem, Week 29 is here and that means we’re just that much closer to the end of the campaign. It’s nip and tuck at the top and bottom of the table, so that means added pressure to nearly every match. It’s a short slate of games due to the FA Cup (or Crap depending on your point of view), and that means it’s even more important to not sleep on

We have a quiet week in the premier league with only five games being played due to it being the next round of the FA cup. That makes it even more important that you are on top of your injuries as you are likely to be missing a number of players already so why compound this by playing injured players? Friday 07.03.14 @ 4pm ET Teams updated: West Brom, Manchester United, Cardiff City,  Fulham, Crystal

Another weekend goes by in the English Premier League, and it was one full of intrigue and incident. Arsenal fluffed their lines at Stoke, Alan Pardew threw his weight around in Newcastle’s technical area, and an unlikely hat trick hero helped maintain Chelsea’s grip on the top spot. What does this mean for Fantasy managers though? In the first of a regular column here on the Fake EPL, we’re going to look behind the score

One of the hottest names on the lips of Premier League pundits over the past month or so has without a doubt been Eden Hazard. The Chelsea winger has been in top form of late, and has been a chief reason as to why the Blue’s have surged to the top of the league table. But while his current form has undoubtedly contributed to him being the talk of the town, it’s the comments from his manager José

Steven Gerrard has had one of the most storied careers in English football history. Since 2000, he’s been a mainstay in the Liverpool and England lineups, and has accomplished almost everything a professional footballer could ever dream of. He’s endeared himself to the hearts of Liverpool fans around the world, and has made it impossible to tell the history of the club without him. And wether you care for him as footballer or not, there’s

Don’t look now friends, but there are only 11 games (for most teams) left in the Premier League this season. We’ve seen not only one of the most enthralling title races in recent memory this season, but arguably an even more exciting battle to see who can stay out of the dreaded bottom three places and avoid relegation. We have seen players emerge from nowhere to look like world beaters, we have seen players take

It’s waking up at 5:30 in the morning on a Saturday to catch the first match of the weekend. It’s calling in sick so you can catch a mid week fixture live instead of DVR’ing it. It’s staying off social media so as to not see the outcome of a match (not easy to do). It’s red vs. blue. It’s David vs. Goliath. It’s the bright colors of player’s boots. It’s a 60 yard lofted
