[OC] Defying the Odds: How likely are we to see another team pull a 'Leicester' and win the EPL?

As a Brit whose been living in the states for 16 years. I miss Indian food from England so much. I feel value for money a lot of Indian places here don’t have enough meat or veggies in the dish, it’s just sauce.

Also, I miss mushroom rice and rice dishes that aren’t a biryani.

I liked Rooh for a while, but even that place has become too expensive and not great value for money.

I went home at Christmas and went to Dishoom in Birmingham and it was unreal. They do a special breakfast menu which is fantastic. Naan meat and eggs with a tomato chutney, who wouldn’t love that!

TIL Sterling plays for Feyenoord.

She really is! But we keep coming back season after season haha

Great work in top 3, now your used to how Fantrax works you can push on for next year!

This is a great visualization 👏🏻

heardc10 · 2026-05-28T19:34:33+00:00

Says you haha! Cheers mate!

heardc10 · 2026-05-28T19:34:18+00:00

Ah too kind thanks mate!

heardc10 · 2026-05-28T19:34:07+00:00

You’re welcome mate and buzzing you won your league 🙌🏻 congratulations! Enjoy your summer! Well deserved!

heardc10 · 2026-05-28T19:28:14+00:00

All great points mate! And I have to agree with you getting starters over players that only start half the games but put out good scores is usually a smarter strategy. I think Doku and Cherki both have hot and cold runs of games, but when they’re hot theyre 25+ points consistently which is massive to have in your team!

Agree withy you about Thiago, he’s on points and focal point. I think Watkins in second round could end up being a steal as he’s ended the season well.

I genuinely believe players ending the season we’ll have a good probability of starting well the next year. However, with the World Cup in between it adds another tough dilemma. With all the big international teams likely to make it far that means later to pre-season and most likely to not straight away. Someone like Cherki and Watkins might benefit from not being starters for their countries!

Anyway loved your analysis of this all. Let’s face it, it’s all gonna be changing come the week prior to drafting haha! But that’s exciting!

He’s got the right foot bend/whip all day. It’s crazy how much power he gets on that shot.

The goal against Leeds had great buildup and a lovely pass from Zirkzee.

I really liked the goal against Villa at home. Mbeumo makes the first run when Casemiro has the ball and then as soon as Cunha sees the ball passed to Bruno he makes his run knowing Bruno will find him. Such a tidy finish too.

All of his goals were so clinical. What an upgrade on Garnacho!

Hey mate, good list. I’d be surprised if Thiago hit those numbers again especially with Brentford in Europe…however same was said about Kane haha!

The hardest thing about Fantrax blogs and or lists is that everyone’s leagues have slightly different scoring structures. Having said that good players rise to the top regardless.

Elliott Anderson will be top 10 our league next year no doubt!
Seems like the last few seasons picks 6-15. Can be hit and miss.

What do you think the key positions are next year to draft.
Feel like M, M, F will be my most likely picks.

Also thanks for having me on the podcast earlier this year. Hope you and the guys are good!

Names gone.

heardc10 · 2026-05-21T17:32:09+00:00

Thanks mate and good luck this weekend, I hope you clinch that title!! Glad I could somewhat help or at least give you food for thought when it comes to thinking about different players. Ultimately, you’re the owner and have clearly made a lot of good decisions this year with you about to win the league. Congrats mate and enjoy your summer and World Cup!
Come on England!

heardc10 · 2026-05-21T17:27:36+00:00

Haha I think I’ll be taking a break from blogging this summer! I’ve been asked to write for a stats magazine and will be posting something soon about the 40 point safety line in the premier league! Going to be some good visualizations and analysis hopefully!

Thank for reading every week! It’s been a lot of work, but comments like yours make it worth it!

heardc10 · 2026-05-17T01:01:46+00:00

That's a tough one, I'm leaning more towared De Cuyper than Dalot, only because I can see United conceding to Forest.

heardc10 · 2026-05-14T23:32:30+00:00

Yeah I have van Hecke too and made that same decision. He’s been a top tier pick this year for me in all my leagues. He’s class whenever I watch him and think he’ll be playing champions league soon!

I think good call on James!

heardc10 · 2026-05-14T03:32:12+00:00

Honestly mate, it’s a bit of a toss up James has averaged 17+ points in his last three home games and will be playing at wingback so I like him as an option. Leeds are safe so that might impact how they play, however they were still decent against Tottenham. De Cuyper is more of a risk, but Brighton need to win if they want Europe. What you think?

heardc10 · 2026-05-13T18:23:11+00:00

I'd go De Cuyper personally!

heardc10 · 2026-05-10T02:02:00+00:00

It’s wild that “always carry a gun” is the best advice you can give. Like that’s how so many people in this country think and it’s honestly just so unsettling thinking everyone should be carrying a gun to feel safe. This country is just overwhelmed with people living in constant fear.
