Premier League Fantasy gamers, hopefully your squad did better this past weekend than Edersons face. Here are the 3 transfers you need to make this week.
Alvaro Morata:
It looks like the Spaniard has found his groove with the Blues. He’s scored in two straight games, and there’s not a better team to extended that streak against than Arsenal, as the London derby comes to Stamford Bridge.
Jermaine Defoe:
FC Cologne hasn’t won the Bundesliga since 1978. They are currently ranked 122nd in the UEFA club rankings, and they’re the mighty Arsenal’s opponent in the Europa League tonight, something Gooner supporters have been mocked endlessly about by people who started supporting Manchester City or Chelsea in 2010.
Messi is amazing at everything, but the thing he's most amazing at is wriggling out of tight spaces. As the best player in the world, he constantly finds himself surrounded by three to five members of the other team who have no qualms about getting all up in his personal space. This does not seem to bother Messi as much as it should. It would bother us a lot, and we are not even claustrophobic.
To illustrate just how good Messi is at navigating very small spaces, here's eight minutes of Messi doing exactly that.
Nobody expected a hit like that, not even the keeper but being out of position doesn't work in your favor. The beauty of the Champions League has begun.

Everyone knows the Champions League song, but not many folks know that it has lyrics and verses.
These are the lyrics, which I am not making up:
They are the best teams
They are the best teams
The main event
Real Madrid have missed Cristiano Ronaldo. The groomed one hasn’t suited up for Real Madrid since August August 23rd as CR7 is serving a 5 game suspension in La Liga for pushing a referee against Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup. Cristiano is eligible to play in the Champions League and it was only right for him to open the scoring vs APOEL.
Over on FS2, Real Madrid lead 1-0!
