Germany vs Australia

Early this morning, Germany hosted Australia in an International Friendly where the visitors held the hosts to a 2-2 draw. For anyone who watched the match, you would know that the Aussies could have snatched this one. The reason I watched this game is because Mesut Ozil (whom I think is one of the best creators in the game) was playing coupled with the fact that the game is World Champs vs Asian Champs!

Marco Reus is such a smart, fast and skillful player such that I reckon he will excel in England. I'm positive many big English clubs will be vying for him this coming summer and I have no doubt I'll choose him for my 2015/2016 season. Mesut Ozil played a decent game with a key pass that eventually led to Podolski equalizer. Many critics argue that he is one lazy player but I beg to defer. Perhaps its his lanky frame and awkward jogging posture that makes him look lazy. This couldn't be further from the truth as statistically, he is one of the more hardworking player in Arsenal's midfield.

Although he is listed as 75% fit to play next week, I'm confident he'll play and make a decent impact for Arsenal against Liverpool. I'll post my team close to the gameweek after all the international friendlies.

Btw, I might upload some fifa 15 gameplay soon too!

Hi Guys,

This is my first official post and you can expect me to update this site regularly. Allow me to give a short introduction and what gave rise to this site. I have always been a avid football player and fan of Arsenal. During my teenage years, I would spent loads of my time watching and punting (to a small extent) football to fully immerse myself in the game. 2 years ago I was introduced to fantasy premier league by my friends and have been hooked since. The best feature of the game is that it takes everything into consideration. Most expensive players do not necessarily translate to high points. The skill factors in the game includes scouting for cheap/unknown players, understanding home field advantage, considering form of players and club, realizing the toughness of the schedule, calculating price/point worth, strategically planning your transfers etc. Of course another big element is the luck factor.

From now until the end of the season, I will post my team at least 24 hours before the window to make changes closes. In addition, I will give a brief breakdown on why I have chose my team as such. Feel free to comment and rate my team.

For the entire season, I have been ranked in the top 2% consistently and I hope to finish the season in the top 0.5%. I am currently ranked 13 200+ with my wildcard still in hand.



Peace
