FPL pun filled advice We’re a few weeks into Fantasy Premier League now, the big names aren’t quite hitting the mark yet, so it’s easy to lose faith in your team.

New coaches...again Not my dear Nigeria...naaa. Regular coach changing (from lagerback in 2010 to siasia in 2011 to keshi in 2012 to oliseh in 2015) compares to liverpool (hodgson in 2010 to king kenny in 2011 to rodgers in 2012 to klopp in 2015). Similar right, yeah. Now you are getting my drive.
