It’s about the time of year where “experts” at every publication imaginable start to give their tips for fantasy soccer, be it Premier League, MLS, or any number of leagues possible. The trouble is, every site has different valuations for players as well as different systems and rules for their leagues. Instead of digging deep […]

The 2015/16 Premier League season kicks off at Old Trafford, home of 20-time champions Manchester United who host Tottenham Hotspur in Saturday’s early kick-off. United are coming into this match on the back of a relatively successful pre-season in which they managed three victories and a sole defeat to Paris Saint-Germain. Louis van Gaal has […]

It’s hard to say that Paris Saint-Germain will have a better 2015-16 season than they did last year, considering the French giants won the Ligue 1 title, Coupe de France, Coupe de Ligue and the Trophee des Champions. However, where PSG could very well improve at during the upcoming campaign is in the Champions League. […]

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers feels he needs to regain the trust of the club's fans this season after a poor 2014-15 that concluded with what he has described as his "worst day in football". A year on from finishing second in the Barclays Premier League, the Reds' follow-up campaign ended in May with them out […]

Mauricio Pochettino says Tottenham will announce a new signing in the next few days. Spurs have signed three defenders in Kieran Trippier, Toby Alderweireld and Kevin Wimmer so far this summer, but with Roberto Soldado and Emmanuel Adebayor both expected to leave the club, Harry Kane is at risk of becoming their sole senior striker. […]

When West Bromwich Albion drafted in Tony Pulis midway through last season to replace Alan Irvine, the club essentially guaranteed itself a Premier League future. But as the Welshman gears up for his first full campaign at the helm of the Baggies, he faces quite a challenge. After all, West Brom have been a solid […]

Before delving into the minutiae of West Ham United’s upcoming campaign, it’s worth noting that this is a hallmark season for the London club. It’s their last season at the iconic Boleyn Ground before they become the new tenants of the capital’s Olympic Stadium and they’ll be desperate to sign off with a sequence to be […]

Alongside Bournemouth, Watford were the other team to be automatically promoted from the second tier last season. But the Hornets couldn’t have done things much more different to Eddie Howe’s side and as they gear up for a campaign under new manager Quique Flores, this team is very much an unknown quantity. Indeed, Flores is […]

It was the same old story for Sunderland in 2014-15; start with a vibrant manager with momentum from the previous campaign, fall into a mid-season lull, bring in someone new, regroup, stay up. As the Black Cats begin this season with Dick Advocaat at the helm, there’s a sense things could be a little different […]

Southampton received plenty of praise for their unexpected seventh place finish last season, but Swansea City, who were much less lauded, were only four points off Saints in eighth position. Perhaps the fact more people weren’t heralding the Welsh outfit’s top half finish is a measure of their astounding progress in recent seasons. Indeed, manager […]

Arsene Wenger believes Arsenal have everything in place to win their first Barclays Premier League title in more than a decade – playing down talk of a move for Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema. The Gunners have enjoyed a strong pre-season campaign which culminated in a 1-0 Community Shield victory over Chelsea at Wembley on […]

Tottenham Hotspur enjoyed an intriguing first campaign under the tutelage of Mauricio Pochettino, with the club eventually finishing in a respectable fifth place. But there was an underlying sense that for Spurs, the campaign could have yielded so much more. After all, not only did the north Londoners lose a League Cup final, they were […]

Aston Villa boss Tim Sherwood has refused to rule out reviving a deal for Emmanuel Adebayor. The Tottenham striker had been in talks over a loan move with Villa – and been given a tour of their training ground – but the deal has stalled. Sherwood worked with Adebayor at White Hart Lane and had […]

Louis van Gaal says goalkeeper David de Gea is not ready to start Manchester United's Barclays Premier League game against Tottenham on Saturday.
