Ola’s Fantasy Premier League segment – “Who is hot and Who is not” returns amidst all the numerous player absentees
We had Stephen, Steve, and Okey join Ayo to do a 2nd episode were we gauged how Spurs, Arsenal, and Man United began the season. We reviewed Liv and Chelsea the past week, however, this episode people brought the smoke with facts
Ola had Bola and Eedris join the footiefantasy crew and they do a season review as we’re now a quarter of the way. They choose their best 11 and best memory of the season.
The Zaza made a reappearance and hosted Justice and Henry to discuss Arsenal’s first win at Old Trafford for the past 15 years. They also gave out the weekly awards.
Ola also provided his Fantasy Premier League Update section – Who is hot and who is not?
We had Yemi and Idris join Ayo to discuss the bore-fest at Old Trafford, the EPL dark horses, and also hand out our weekly “egg on the face & kudos for the week” awards
Now that we’ve got the first look having seen five rounds of EPL games and also the close of the summer transfer window, The FootieFantasy team got together and revisited the Top 6 predictions and relegation candidates
Ayo
Winner – Man City: In line with my earlier prediction, I’m still sticking with City but this is only because of the VVD injury and seeing Aguero return earlier than planned. 85 – 90 points should win the league
2nd – Liverpool: The season-ending injury of VVD + loss of Alisson has changed the trajectory of the well-oiled Klopp machine. They should still push City close but will drop more points than expected due to chink in their armor
3rd – Spurs: My new entrant to the top 4 is Tottenham who made very good signings in Reguillon, Hjolberg, Bale, and Vinicius. Bale will be a massive lift, Ndombele is playing good, and Jose now plays 2 attacking full-backs
4th – Chelsea: In this chaotic season of a lot of goals, the depth and quality of Chelsea attacking options should help them over the line despite early goalkeeping and defending struggles
5th – Arsenal, 6th – Manchester United
Relegation Candidates – Fulham, Burnley, West Brom

Ovie joined Ayo and The Zaza to discuss the humbling of Arsenal at Anfield despite a valiant effort. We discussed the wild ending of the game between the seagulls and Man United, Chelsea still continue their habit of leaking goals and the destruction of Pep’s Man City by the evergreen and ageless Jamie Vardy.
