Here are 10 things Fantasy Premier League owners have experienced this season.
#1: You’ve held on to one forward for way too long, believing you personally have the power to will them out of their slump.
#2: “Knock — 75% chance of playing? WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT MEAN?!”
#3: You tried to add a fourth Manchester City player.
#4: That manager that used their Triple Captain against YOU is a snake.
Pretty much every Manchester City player was perfect in their 4-0 Champions League victory over FC Basel today — that’s how you come away with a four-goal Round of 16 advantage after playing away — but none more so than Portuguese winger Bernardo Silva.
Would you believe me if I told you Manchester City hammered an opponent with an assist from Kevin De Bruyne, a goal from Sergio Aguero and 75 percent possession? Yes, Aguero got his 29th goal of the season, De Bruyne his 19th assist and City out-passed Basel 779-211 at St Jakob-Park en route to a routine 4-0 Champions League Round of 16 first leg victory.
Aymeric Laporte, Manchester City's shiny new center back, spent his formative years in the youth setup of Sporting Union Agen, a club in the French eighth division. Agen were about to go into administration when Laporte's January move from Athletic Bilbao to Manchester City saved the club.
Manchester City struggled to a 1-1 draw with Burnley on Saturday morning, missing a number of key players to injury. At least two of those players had much better weekends than their teammates at Turf Moor.
Raheem Sterling is currently enjoying his best season as a professional, having already scored more goals this year (19) than any season in his career. Despite the 23-year-old’s breakout success, which includes 14 goals in 22 Premier League appearances, one question remains — one that anyone who has seen Raheem Sterling running has asked. What the hell is he doing with his arms?
Well, we finally have an answer, and it has to do with his mom.
