PremierLeague.com has once again started up it's fantasy football season. It's a chance to do something else in the office and to get excited for the season ahead. You may just partake in one league, maybe you've joined one with friends or maybe you've randomly joined an anonymous league instead. Whatever the case, you'll be guaranteed to come across these types of players. Here at Balls Towers, we've got you covered on who to look out for.
The Gaffer
Typically finishes high up the league. The main reason for this is his/her's (probably his) commitment to the cause. Whether it's checking Sky Sports News for injury updates on a daily basis, or selecting a different captain every week, this gaffer is on top of things and very possibly prioritises Fantasy Football over every other aspect in life.
The Injury King
Also known as an excuse merchant. This manager will have the best team in the league at the start, only to fade away due a series of unfortunate injuries. Lacks the commitment of the gaffer, so fails to foresee the descent of his team.
Funny Team Name Guy
This guy doesn't necessarily do badly in the league. It's just more important that his team name be funnier than anyone else. Anything from Inter Yourma to Inbreading FC, this manager is sure to pip the league for comedy points.
Wildcard Man
Known for tinkering and indecisiveness, this mid-table bachelor falls short on an annual basis due to over-changing his side. More tinkering than David Moyes on a fantasy scale.
The Jammy Bastard
Generally doesn't follow football with any great detail. Who do you support? "Oh, I just watch it for fun". This pleb will meander his way up the league and swindle a champions league spot. Wait and see.
The Guy Who Forgets About It After The First Week
Does what it says on the tin. Generally sets out with good intentions. "This year will be my year". However, this go getter usually gets distracted around week two or three. Probably because of work commitments, if you could believe it.
