Aston Villa

Alejandro Garnacho

A direct winger who would rather run straight at a defender than pass around him, using pace and close control to beat a full back one on one and get into the box. He plays with a swagger that suggests he enjoys the contest itself.

Alejandro Garnacho, The Winger Who Runs At You

Villa's newest winger would always rather beat a defender in a straight foot race than pass around the problem.

Garnacho attacks a full back directly rather than looking for a simpler pass around him, backing his pace and close control to win the contest. That directness makes him genuinely dangerous in transition, when defenders are still turning to face their own goal. A yard of space is all he needs to get beyond them.

Once he is in the box, he is comfortable shooting from angles that would make a more conservative winger look for a pass instead. The question that has followed him is decision making, because a player this eager to take a man on will sometimes choose the wrong moment. Watch how often his final ball finds a teammate, because that is what separates a dribbler from a genuinely productive winger over a long run of matches.

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.
