Preston North End

Andrija Vukcevic

A well travelled Montenegrin left back who made his senior debut as a teenager and has barely stayed still since. He has played across Serbia, Belgium, Croatia, Mexico and Spain, defending his flank with the assurance of a well tested professional.

Andrija Vukčević, The Left Back Who Toured Europe

Six countries and counting across his career mean he arrives at Preston already tested against wildly different styles of football.

Vukčević broke through with his boyhood club in Montenegro before he had even turned pro elsewhere. He then set off on a career that reads like a footballing atlas, taking in Serbia, Belgium, Croatia, Mexico and Spain before Preston became his latest stop. That constant movement between leagues gave him an adaptability a left back who stayed put his whole career would struggle to match. Few defenders in the Championship have tested themselves against so many different styles.

His longest and most productive spell came in Croatia, where he became a genuine regular starter for several seasons. Montenegro still trust him enough to keep calling him up at senior level. The natural question with a defender who has changed country so often is whether he ever properly settles long enough to become the finished version of himself.

Five Premier League keepers have three clean sheets from five games, but Konstantinos Tzolakis has made the most saves of the group. In the Championship, George Wickens has matched Lawrence Vigouroux's four clean sheets while facing far more shots.

Match Bingo Game Modes Explained

There are three game types on Match Bingo and they behave less alike than they sound. Live Games follow a real fixture as it's played. Bingoals swaps the fifteen events for fifteen teams and needs every one of them to score. Quick Games run every few minutes on football from last season, so there's nothing to wait for.

Does a New Signing Change Anything on Your Match Bingo Card?

Deadline day comes and goes and your card stays exactly as it was. Match Bingo cards are built from things that happen in a match, goals and corners and fouls, rather than from the players who make them happen. No name on a teamsheet reaches a single square. Here's what a signing does change, and what it doesn't.

Is Match Bingo Safe? Licensing, Fair Play and Player Protection

Two things usually sit behind that question: whether the company is real and regulated, and whether the game itself can be got at by somebody sharper than you. Match Bingo is operated by RTSB Limited under Gambling Commission account 51467, which takes about a minute to check. The second answer is duller: there's nothing to press.

What Is Football Bingo?

A card holds fifteen things that can happen in a football match, and each square marks itself the moment its event happens in the fixture you've chosen. You buy before kick-off, then you go and watch the game. Complete a horizontal row of five before anybody else and you take the fixed prize for that tier.
