    Mon Feb 08 04:24PM

    The Fantasist would love to review the weekend's action, but unfortunately it can't as points have not been updated.Hugely annoying as this obviously is, console yourselves with the knowledge that the points will be added eventually, and that this is just the start of a very long game week.Otherwise, there's...More

  • Arsenal's manager Arsene Wenger

    Matchday Open thread

    Sat Feb 06 11:13AM

    Arsene Wenger knows Arsenal's hopes of staying in this season's Premier League title race will be as good as over if they lose at leaders Chelsea on Sunday. Much was made of his side's crushing 3-1 home defeat by Manchester United last week being the first English match screened in 3D...More

  • Foreign view: Mancini master-stroke?

    Wed Feb 03 04:41PM

    ITALYSilvio Berlusconi may not like it, but if Mancini (4.56) can recapture the form that saw him star for Roma, rather than that which saw him sidelined at Internazionale, then Milan may have pulled off the move of the January transfer window in Italy. For that price, he could be...More

  • Tactical review: Defending defenders

    Mon Feb 01 03:10PM

    Last week the Fantasist proffered that the key to success in the weekend's matches lay in picking strong defenders, with decidedly mixed results. Nobody needed to be told that the on-fire Wayne Rooney (now 24.07 in price, gained 16.50 points) would probably score against Arsenal, or that Nicolas Anelka (18.66,...More

  • Choose 'em or lose 'em: Defensive double-dip

    Fri Jan 29 04:23PM

GOALKEEPERSChoose 'em: Fulham have the joint-meanest defence at home this season. With...More

    Foreign View: Catch Chamakh

    Fri Jan 29 09:43AM

    ITALY Milan will be itching to get back on track after their defeat to Internazionale last week, and the visit of Livorno will provide the perfect opportunity to restore pride. Ronaldinho (21.52) will be most eager to put things right after he squandered a penalty in that match, and the Brazilian...More
