Birmingham City

Lee Buchanan

A left back capable of the spectacular, having scored the winner on his senior debut and later struck in a Bundesliga comeback against Borussia Dortmund. Injuries have interrupted him more than his talent deserves, slowing a career that once moved quickly.

Lee Buchanan, Rebuilding After The Setbacks

Buchanan impressed in Germany to earn rookie honours, so proving his body can finally hold up is now the challenge.

Buchanan announced himself early, scoring the winning goal on his senior debut and then striking again in a Bundesliga comeback win over Borussia Dortmund. He is an attacking left back at heart, comfortable bombing into the space a winger leaves behind and confident enough to shoot when the chance appears. That early promise took him from Derby County to Germany and back to England within a handful of years.

The story since has been less about talent and more about staying fit, a calf strain and then a serious knee injury costing him long spells on the sidelines. Birmingham signed him for what he offers going forward rather than pure defensive caution, so his value shows once he is trusted with a run of matches. Whether his body finally allows that is the question following him around.

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.
