After a week off we are back on the Fantasy Football trail and approaching some crucial fixtures. This weeks advice will be short and sweet – Get Frank Lampard into your team.
Thanks to @marcusdysch for directing us to this clip.
I’m on the fence on this one, whilst it’s a crazy way to get red-carded, it was very dangerous and the ref didn’t have much choice, just because the streaker was nothing to do with the game the player still needs to conduct himself appropriately on the field of play. My big question is over the stewarding of this incident, they look disinterested in apprehending the streaker and then just walk onto the pitch, where’s the urgency?

Keeping it simple this week… With Robin Van Persie out with injury once again, Dimitar Berbatov warming the bench and Elmandar patroling the right wing some managers will be looking to freshen up their striking options in the coming weeks, but who are the gems based on upcoming fixtures?
4 matches in 3 gameweeks, but which is the striker to pick from the toffees?

I’ll start with the not so unsurprising news that I passed the assessment on Saturday and now just need to sit through a Child Protection course to fully qualify as a Level 1 Coach.
We were given one of the numerous drills to study, detail on paper and execute on a windy and cold Saturday in Darwen (not Blackburn as I was told numerous times!). My drill to perform was called Robin Hood – a simple concept where the balls were all in the centre of a square with 4 teams of 3 players, one team in each corner. Each player had to run in, grab and ball and run back to base. I decided not to treat this as a race and instead tried to concentrate on getting the players to keep control of the football to varying degrees of success. The drill went as follows:
1a. Run in pick up the ball run back to base
1b. Return the ball to the centre with hands and run backwards (looking behind) to base
2a. Run in, collect ball and dribble back to base
2b. Run in without ball, turn in centre and receive pass from teammate
3a. Run in, collect ball, dribble round opponents cone (in clockwise direction) and back to home
3b. Run in without ball, teammate throws ball, player heads it back and teammate passes it back to middle
4a. Run in, collect ball, show a skill, return to base
4b. Pass ball into the middle of the pitch, closest to the middle wins
