What We’ve Learned From Fantasy Football

Each year we get pressured into fantasy football. Join our league they say, it’ll be fun they say. Fine, we’ll join. We’ll sign up for nine months of commitment, a marathon of frustration, forgetfulness and f*****g transfer sagas. And do you know what? It’s the same every damn year.

Fantasy football isn’t talked of like other addictions, but I’ve been living a double life long enough to know the truth. My name is Ben Tallon. My childhood hobby drawing footballers lead me to a career illustrating for The Premier League, Leeds United, UEFA and Arsenal and that side of it makes the parents proud. With the new season just days away, it’s time to come clean about the ugly reality of life as a functioning FPL Addict. I take comfort in the knowledge I am far from alone.

Chaos is defined as “complete disorder and confusion,” and adidas attempted to create a boot that allows players to fit that billing.

Nike Mercurial Vapor XI "Tech Craft 2016"

Remember a time when football boots didn't have hi-top collars? No?
