Although BantasyFootball's hiatus from blogging has been going on for some time, we thought we might start it up again. In doing so now, people might think we just stopped during the (cue spooky ghost voice) "pandemic loooooocccckdowwwwwwn" when in reality, we first got lazy and then we lost our wordpress login details. Luckily, I [...]
There's nothing more frustrating than deliberating for ages, then bringing in a stalwart fantasy point machine like David Silva only to realise it's not going to work out and you have to make the decision all over again. Title unrelated. Anyway as we hurtle towards the Xmas break it's rotation aplenty so nailed-on players are [...]
I don't actually talk about any Germans in this week's Bantasy Football blog. So why the pseudo-German blog title? Cos' it's really random and weird. But strangely alluring. Like Bantasy Football. Watching this weekend's gameweek 14 footy was a bit like going 12 rounds in a heavyweight fight. Sunday was particularly taxing: waiting times for [...]
If you have any combination of Trippier, Lacazette, Wan-Bissaka, Bernardo Silva, Zaha, Aubmeyang, your international break has probably been fraught with worry over little yellow hazard signs. There are A LOT of question marks this weekend - It's like the riddler laid a Boston steamer on Gameweek 13. You didn't light this fire. But it's [...]
For those of you who find t'International break as unbearably monotonous as we at Bantasy Football do, in our experience it is well worth considering the following: 1. Read literally everything about Brexit. This will pass a significant about of time (we estimate at least 45-55 minutes) and could have bonus soporific effects. 2. Watch [...]
"Urrghh you have an outie!", said many a cruel child during school swimming lessons. I myself have an innie....in fact several innies. I am of course talking about the top transfers in and out this gameweek. If you've got a lot of innies already in your team, you probably had a good week last week. [...]
I put my balls on the line in Gameweek 7 and came out gloating hard. Real hard. Since then I've had a number of near-miss accumulators; and that coupled with a staggeringly unjustifiable self-confidence leads naturally to another Bantasy Football blog where I will predict the footballing future. My prescient powers will be used for [...]
MJ, Kanye, José Question: What do these things all have in common? Everybody knows I'm a motherfucking monster. The last part of that lyric never made an awful lot of sense to me - possibly because it was written by Kanye West, whose grip on reality has been so loose recently [...]
You may remember that in an article last week, we made some predictions for Gameweek 7. If - whilst reading this entry - you hear a high-pitched prrrrrping noise, then do not fear - That is not last night's Yorkshire Puddings coming home to roast, but in fact the sound of @bantasyfootball blowing our own [...]
I believe that - as someone who has failed to achieve even average points in almost every gameweek this season - I'm in a very good position to make some very specific and outlandish football-based predictions. Every single week, I looked at my fantasy lineup and just knew...just knew...that they were gonna bring in that [...]
