With a bit of cash to play around with this week, Ruining Football has decided to bring in-form Everton midfielder Tim Cahill into the fold for the Gameweek 36. After last week’s disastrous gamble on Carlos Tevez as captain, you would think I w0uld have learnt my lesson and given it to someone obvious this [...]

With only a few week gameweeks left, Ruining Football have gambled with the captaincy this week with Carlos Tevez getting the armband in a decision that could go either way. At first glance, Carlos Tevez as captain seems like a no brainer. City are at home, banging in goals for fun, and the Argentine has [...]

Manchester City star Carlos Tevez was again the main man for Ruining Football in what was an excellent gameweek of Fantasy Football. Manchester City’s demolition of Burnley last weekend meant Tevez and his team mate Adam Johnson contributed 38 points between them out of the 84 points score. Johnson bagged three assists as he continues [...]

After struggling to field a team for the last number of weeks, Ruining Football now boasts a full compliment of players for this gameweek. It feels weird not having to scrape a team together, and if anything it has been difficult to pick a team because there are too many players that could do a [...]

A difficult week ahead once again for Fantasy Football managers with a number of teams not in action. Ruining Football has managed to field an eleven on paper, but whether they will all play is a different matter altogether. Manchester City, Tottenham, Fulham, Aston Villa and Blackburn Rovers all have the weekend off, again forcing [...]

Ruining Football continue to slip down the Fantasy Football standings after a number of horror weeks and things don’t look like getting better any time soon. Birmingham City are the new Manchester United….in Fantasy Football terms anyway. With the Champions in Carling Cup action this week, I have turned to Birmingham City and their solid [...]

Injuries and suspensions have left Ruining Football short six players for this gameweek, forcing the gaffer to bite the bullet and take a points hit. Nani you clown. I knew I shouldn’t have shown any faith in him. His red card against Aston Villa and subsequent three game suspension has hurt us bad. Carlos Tevez [...]
