🗓️ Friday 5th December

  1. The Big Facts: Isak, Welbeck and Wolves 📊

  2. The Big Tips: Are Man United due a win? 💰

  3. The Big Funnies: Rio’s forgotten beginnings 📍


THE BIG FACTS

Pub Ammo

🐺 Wolves now have the fewest points (2) from 14 games in Premier League history. What’s the punishment for that?! 👆

🍬 Everton haven’t had a goal or assist from ANY of their subs this season.

😲 Arsenal have broken the Premier League record for most consecutive games (108) without conceding three goals, dating back to 2023 in a 4-3 thriller with Luton.

📉 Chelsea are four points worse off this season than they were at the same stage last year, despite Maresca saying they were better than a year ago.

🪶 Danny Welbeck has averaged ~6 goals a season for Brighton in his last five seasons. He’s on 7 already this season after just 14 games.

🐦 Alexander Isak has created just two chances this season, bettered by 258 players.

THE BIG TIPS

Howling Wolves

3 points: Man United to beat Wolves
Odds5/6
💭 If Man United don’t win here, Ruben Amorim may as well zip up his already packed bags. As we said earlier, and we repeat: Wolves are on the lowest points tally in history after 14 games. United have shown mild improvement in recent games, despite results not painting the full picture.

3 points: Joachim Andersen Over 78.5 passes
Odds5/6
💭 Andersen, who boasts one of the highest passing averages in the League, racked up 105 passes against Man City in midweek. To add to this, an opposing centre-back has hit this line in over half of Palace’s games this season.

THE BIG FUNNIES

Rio-h dear

⚒️ Rio Ferdinand, who started his professional career at West Ham with 127 appearances, tweeted “FFS” when West Ham equalised against Man United last night. Never forget where you came from!

😳 Mikel Arteta has challenged Declan Rice to take the next step in his development… and become a “long throw expert”.

📈 Jack Hall, a random FPL player, was 12th in the global Fantasy Football League in November despite not making a single change to his team since the start of the season.
