Fantasy Football - A Preview

The IOWFA 2014 Tournament is fast approaching and with that comes the IOWFA 2014 Fantasy Football competition. There are lots of new teams and lots of new players this year so let's take a look at this preview of the competition.

Most Expensive Player:
Player name: Lionel Messi
Club: Real Madrid
Fantasy Football Price: 3.4
Predicted Rating: 4/10
Lionel Messi in real life is, let's face it, bloody amazing. One of the best players of all time. However, in FIFA, under the management of William Cameron, he is less than incredible. Will's "Bit o' Skill" technique suits him well but the manager has not yet mastered this technique and therefore Messi is yet to shine in the IOWFA league. Will this year be the year he proves his abilities? We don't think so

Least Expensive Player:
Player Name: Osvaldo Alonso
Club: Real Madrid
Fantasy Football Price: 1.6
Predicted Rating: 2/10
Real Madrid have got rid of one Alonso and moved straight on to another. Xabi Alonso, club legend and one of the best midfielders of this generation is out and Osvaldo Alonso, some cuban guy with no hair, is in. Let's face it, the only reason Osvaldo Alonso was bought was so that Manager William Cameron could afford Messi. He's going to be terrible.

Last Year's Star:
Player Name: Franck Ribery
Club: Bayern Munchen
Fantasy Football Price: 3.0
Predicted Rating: 9/10
Franck Ribery is a truly incredibly player and he showed that with his performances in last years tournament. He was the highest rated player in the competition and was painfully close to the top goalscorer award as well! This year he's expected to pile on the pain for his opponents and score some world class goals.

The Club Legend:
Player Name: Didier Drogba
Club: Chelsea
Fantasy Football Price: 2.3
Predicted Rating: 7/10
Didier Drogba played with Chelsea for many years and broke the fans hearts when he decided to leave. However, he's on his way back. Manager Peter Hardman scooped this chap up from Galatasaray and he suits the teams playing style perfectly! He's expected to score a huge amount of goals!

The Brick Wall:
Player Name: Vincent Kompany
Club: Manchester City
Fantasy Football Price: 2.5
Predicted Rating: 7/10
Last year, Manchester City's defensive record was incredible and it was mostly down to this fella. Now he's alongside Brazilian legend Thiago Silva he's expected to shine even more. Good luck getting past this guy, strikers!

The Zlatan:
Player Name: Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Club: FC Barcelona
Fantasy Football Price: 2.9
Predicted Rating: 5/10
Manager Edward Cameron's technique of "Shoot from the half-way line and hope it goes in" probably isn't the best, but if anyone's going to be able to pull it off, it'll be Zlatan.

The Dark Horse:
Player Name: Candreva
Club: Chelsea
Fantasy Football Price: 2.2
Predicted Rating: 8/10
You probably hadn't heard of Candreva before Chelsea manager Peter Hardman scooped him up. But he's fast, he's skilful and he looks to be a great threat in the competition this year! Good luck to the lad! We hope he performs well!

The Hungry Hungry Hippo:
Player Name: Luis Suarez
Club: Bayern Munchen
Fantasy Football Price: 2.7
Predicted Rating: 7/10
If there was a 'bite' button on FIFA then it'd be used the most with this guy. He's ravenous and hungry but that doesn't mean he's not an incredible striker. Let's see how he does in the tournament!
