GAMEWEEK 2: Post Match Analysis and Summary Gameweek 3 began with an unexpected defeat for Everton. A team which did not concede any goal this season conceded 2 goals. Looks like the FPL managers who have Pickford, Richarlison, Iwobi, Siggurdson, Walcott are not gonna get a good points return from these players and perhaps it is time to move on and look for other options. Liverpool dominated and defeated Arsenal, Crystal Palace stunned Man United who missed yet another penalty, Bournemouth lost to Man City and Newcastle defeated Spurs. But the focus will be on two of the exciting Gameweek 2 fixtures. Let us begin with perhaps the most awaited game of the week.

Bale’s first season in Real Madrid started off on a rather disappointing note as he suffered injury after injury.  Despite the unfortunate first half of the season, when he did get a chance to play he did not disappoint. He scored goals, provided assists and was surely a han...

With the introduction of Video Assistant Referee(VAR) throughout the major leagues in Europe and across the world, the discussion on which instance a handball should be given and on which instance a handball should not be given stands piqued.Read further for more regarding this.
