Fantasy Football Tips: The SportsLens Ultimate Team For The 2022/23 Season
Here at SportsLens the writers got together to create our Ultimate FPL team for the 2022/23 season. After a lot of deliberation and overcoming fan bias, here’s the team we went with. Goalkeeper Allison – Liverpool – Price £5.5m Starting with the goalkeeper, Allison was a straightforward pick. Sharing the Golden Glove with Ederson and topping the FPL keepers table with 176 points, he will be looking to replicate last season and be a stable points earner for our team. Defense Trent Alexander-Arnold – Liverpool – Price £7.5m Another player who was cemented in this team was Alexander-Arnold who scored a massive 208 points last season. Trent has been consistent for several seasons now so there is no worries about him producing the same form for the upcoming season. With Liverpool’s ...

Alex Telles joins Sevilla on loan from Manchester United
Manchester United left-back Alex Telles has joined La Liga side Sevilla on a season-long loan who will also cover the player’s wages. Telles’ departure comes after United signed Feyenoord left-back Tyrell Malacia, with new boss Erik ten Hag keen to use Malacia as a back-up to Luke Shaw instead. The Brazilian joined the Red Devils in late 2020, and went on to make 50 appearances for the club including four in the Champions League where he scored a stunning volley against Villarreal in the group stages. To everyone at United: colleagues, staff, fans. I will be supporting and cheering you on all season. Thanks for the moments so far. ❤️Alex Telles. @ManUtd pic.twitter.com/vXBv3PngwF — Alex Telles (@AT13Oficial) August 4, 2022 Manchester United said: “A popular and professional m...
Sergio Aguero Tips Arsenal To Challenge Man City and Liverpool For The Premier League Title
In a recent interview Sergio Aguero has made the bold prediction of Arsenal to challenge Manchester City and Liverpool for the Premier League title. Looking back to the 21/22 season, Arsenal just missed out on Top 4 to their London rivals Tottenham Hotspur. Moving into the new season they have strengthened their squad and will be looking to solidify that Top 4 spot. Taking two players from City, Jesus and Zinchenko as well as signing winger Marquinos, Arsenal have really bolstered their attack for the upcoming season. In terms of last season for Liverpool and City it was total domination with City clinching the title on the last day of the season and Liverpool having an 18 point gap to third place Chelsea. City and Liverpool are expected to carry on in the same fashion with the help of the...
Carney Chukwuemeka signs for Chelsea from Aston Villa for £20m
Chelsea have signed exciting academy prospect Carney Chukwuemeka from Aston Villa for a reported fee of £20m. The 18-year-old has signed a six-year deal at Chelsea, after refusing to sign a new contract at Villa. Chukwuemeka starred in England’s Under-19 European Championship glory in July, as he played a vital part in the youngsters lifting the Euro trophy. After scoring in extra time of the Euro Final, Chukwuemeka immediately became a hot property this Summer, with Chelsea chairman Todd Boehly singing the praises of the young midfielder: “Carney is one of the most exciting young players in Europe so we are really looking forward to seeing him in action at Stamford Bridge. “We are delighted to be able to bring him to Chelsea and add such a talented young individual to our squad for the ne...
Sexual Consent Training Made Mandatory for All Premier League Players
Players and staff across all 20 Premier League teams will receive mandatory sexual consent training. In the wake of several high-profile cases of sexual misconduct involving players from England’s top-flight, the league are eager to tackle the issue with growing fears over the culture among professionals. Several meetings between the Premier League and campaign groups End Violence for Women, the Three Hijabis and Level Up back in June began the initial discussion, with all parties keen to address a growing concern over ‘gender-based violence’. “Today’s announcement is a long overdue and important first step in the right direction,” said End Violence Against Women Coalition director Andrea Simon. “Gender-based violence is a pervasive and systemic issue that must be addressed across the foot...
West Ham Fans Excited By Height Of Team And Set Piece Goals It Could Bring
In recent seasons, West Ham have more often than not always done well when it comes to set-pieces, and since David Moyes returned to the club in January 2020, no side have scored more goals from set play. David Moyes’ men scored 60 goals in the Premier League last season, with 14 of them coming through set play. Michail Antonio and Tomas Soucek both netted three times from such situations, whilst Craig Dawson scored two in the league, and one in the Europa League.
