The Premier League season is upon us once again, and with it the usual anxieties that accompany it. Depending on who you support, those levels of anxiety vary, but for me, a Tottenham fan, the feeling is one of dread. The transfer window, the new season buzz, is all overshadowed by the gut feeling that despite having a good team, Lady Luck rarely shines on us.
That being said, I’ve gone against my conventional wisdom and decided to re-enter another pit of eternal despair, the one called the Fantasy Premier League. This sickening cesspool of anguish and eternal pain caused by the 15 players that you choose from week to week can never be classified as healthy, but in some sick way, it gives us something to look forward to.
Last year, I took a break from this self-torture and decided to just enjoy the football. This was great, but oh so boring. Game weeks came and went, and there was no Jeopardy, no angst, no major investment in player performance. As a passing fan, it almost felt empty. So this year, I said no more. I need to experience that torment, I need to have those sleepless nights wondering if to play bonus cards, those fun-filled moments when no one chosen performs over all 9 matches for that match day.
That being said, this year should be a fun one with the transfers of Gyökeres and Reijnders along with some other high-profile transfers from other leagues. Let’s see if they perform.
