Clean sheets in the Premier League and Championship

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.

Eight Championship players are one yellow card from a ban

Eight Championship players are one yellow card away from a one-match ban. Card rates show who might be missing, and QPR should line up cover for Jake Clarke-Salter now.

Five Premier League games in and some players are already halfway to a ban

Matt Crooks has three yellows from three games for Hull. Our Most Cards and Bad Boys boards show who is closest to a Premier League ban after five matches.

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.

Dennis Cirkin: The Balanced One

Sunderland’s left-side stabiliser, built to defend honestly and support attacks with smart timing.

Cirkin plays with a calm discipline that helps Sunderland stay organised. He doesn’t chase the ball unnecessarily, he holds position, tracks runners and wins duels through timing rather than recklessness. In the Premier League, full-backs get targeted, and Cirkin handles that pressure with composure.

He also provides an outlet. When Sunderland break forward, he can overlap and support without leaving huge spaces behind him. That balance is valuable because Sunderland need attackers to be brave, and they need defenders to be dependable, and Cirkin gives them dependable.
