David Akintola

A wide forward who has built a career on straight line speed, moving between Denmark, Norway, Cyprus and Turkey and finding a way to be useful in each of them. Adaptability is genuinely part of his skill set.

David Akintola, A Career Built On Pace

A Nigerian forward who has proved himself across four different European leagues without ever settling in one.

Akintola left Nigeria as a teenager for Midtjylland and has been moving ever since, through Jerv, Haugesund, Rosenborg, Omonia and two clubs in Turkey. That reads like restlessness until you consider what it actually requires, which is arriving in a new dressing room and a new language every couple of years and still being picked. He is direct, he runs at defenders, and he is quickest in a straight line.

The obvious question is whether a player with that kind of career can settle into a defined role rather than an emergency one. He has rarely been anybody's guaranteed starter for long. Watch how he is used from the bench, because a forward brought on to stretch a tiring defence is a genuinely valuable thing for a side defending a result.

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.
