5 FPL stars to avoid signing for the 2026/27 season

The 2026/27 Premier League season will soon be upon us, and everyone is wondering who they should - or should not - sign for the upcoming in Fantasy Premier League. Here are five big names to avoid signing in FPL this year due to their cost and bust potential. Arsenal CB William Saliba One of the best but also one of the most expensive center backs in FPL, William Saliba is going to start the season recovering from a back injury. He is a world class player and probably the most talented player on Arsenal, but he's also going to be a big injury risk this year and may be someone who flops badly because of it. Tottenham Hotspur CB Marcos Senesi Marcos Senesi was one of the top scorers in FPL last year, but that's also because he played in a great scheme for him with Bournemouth. Spurs are...

Tottenham’s loss to Sunderland showed why De Zerbi is the wrong man for the job

After Tottenham hired Roberto De Zerbi, most pundits focused on how long it would take for the Italian to implement his system. Some said he would bed in right away, while others said he might not have enough time to make an impact at Spurs this season. Whatever the argument, most of these discussions concerned De Zerbi’s attacking tactics. After all, De Zerbi’s preferred slow build-up is very different from Igor Tudor’s ‘keep-it-simple’ mentality and a huge departure from the kind of direct football Thomas Frank tried to use earlier this season. With all this being said, the loss to Sunderland made it clear that De Zerbi’s defensive set-up could see Tottenham relegated from the Premier League this season, not Spurs’ attack. If you watched De Zerbi’s Brighton sides, you’ll know th...

Ranking the 10 best Premier League center backs in 2026

Most people agree that the Premier League has ascended all the other leagues in European football with the most money, production value, drama, and individual quality than the rest. Where the Premier League's difference in quality truly shines out the most than at any other position is at center back, where clubs like Liverpool, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, and Arsenal have an embarrassment of riches at the position - and that is not even including all the great underrated defenders at smaller clubs beyond the Big Six.

The 10 biggest transfer bargains of the 2025/26 Premier League season

We are more than halfway done with the 2025/26 Premier League season, and now it makes sense to take a look back at the summer transfer window at how the new faces in the league have gotten along with their teams. Here are 10 transfers from the summer that have proven to be the biggest bargains of the season thus far, shaping title races, European battles, and relegation fights in the 2025/26 campaign. Cristhian Mosquera to Arsenal, 15M If you ask me, Cristhian Mosquera was definitely the best bargain of the summer 2025 transfer window, because Arsenal pounced on an excellent young center back who was playing at a high level in La Liga, snatching the proverbial cat out of the bag long before their competitors had even heard of Mosquera's exploits in Spain. And all Mosquera has do...
