So you have made it to gameweek two in the Fantasy Premier League without smashing your phone / tablet / laptop in frustration. Congratulations. If you're one of the many FPL bosses who got off to a frustrating start to the campaign - one of my friends had Mohamed Salah and Bruno Fernandes but left the captain's bracelet on Nick Pope - do not worry, it's a long season.

The irony of one of Inter Miami's first DP ever behaving as dysfunctionally as the club that signed him is probably not lost on supporters.Since joining the 2020 MLS expansion team from Monterrey for almost $ 12 million, Rodolfo Pizarro has failed to light the league as many had hoped.With just five goals and five assists in 33 games for the Herons so far (and only one this season), the most striking thing has not been that Pizarro has been particularly "bad". Rather, he has put in far too many anonymous performances,…

Tanguy Ndombele has announced to Tottenham Hotspur that he is open to leaving the club this summer, just two years after becoming the most expensive signing in their history. The 24-year-old did not play a role in Spurs' preparations for the 2021/22 season, and he was not selected for the victory on the opening day over Manchester City, which left his future very much in the air.
