Bristol City

Gibson Yah

A holding midfielder who breaks up opposition attacks first and only then looks to drive forward himself, unafraid to shoot from distance once he senses a defence has backed off. He tackles firmly and passes with real purpose rather than simply recycling possession sideways.

Gibson Yah, The Midfielder Built To Break Play Up

A defensive midfielder from a famous academy whose game combines hard tackling with a genuine eye for goal.

Yah came through one of European football's most respected academies, developing as a right footed holding midfielder trusted to sit at the base of midfield and dictate the tempo of a game. Strong tackling is the foundation of his game, but he is not purely destructive, adding a genuine passing range and a willingness to strike the ball from distance when a chance appears. He worked through several clubs in the Netherlands before this move, gaining senior experience below the very top level first.

The tension for any holding midfielder moving country is tempo, because a Championship game rarely offers the same time on the ball a slower paced league allows. Bristol City need his defensive discipline to translate immediately even if the attacking instinct takes longer to show up. Watch how often he risks that shot from range once he trusts the pace of games around him.

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

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.
