Burnley

Josh Laurent

A midfielder trusted to fill in at centre back or right wing back without ever looking like a makeshift option, which says plenty about his football intelligence as well as his versatility. He has captained sides through the toughest kind of relegation fight.

Josh Laurent, The Midfielder Who Plays Anywhere

A versatile midfielder whose ability to defend competently in three different positions has made him a genuine leadership figure.

Laurent has spent his career solving problems other players cannot, filling in at centre back or wing back whenever a manager needed cover rather than sticking rigidly to central midfield. That kind of trust is not usually given to a player who cannot defend, and he has done it well enough often enough that it stopped looking like an emergency measure. He captained a side through a difficult relegation battle, a role that tests character as much as ability.

He has also produced decisive moments in cup competitions against sides from a higher division, scoring winning goals when the pressure would have unsettled more talented players. What is less clear is whether that versatility lets him settle into one role long enough to become genuinely excellent at it. Burnley get a midfielder who solves problems, even without knowing which problem comes next.

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.

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.

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.
