Tottenham Hotspur

Destiny Udogie

A left back who defends like a midfielder who has wandered too far back, snapping into tackles before driving forward with the ball at his feet. He would rather dribble past a winger than put the ball out, which makes him an outlet under pressure.

Destiny Udogie, The Full Back Who Tackles Hard

Udogie wins the ball back with a physicality most full backs would rather avoid, then carries it upfield himself.

Udogie defends with a combativeness that stands out even in a position full of aggressive players. He throws himself into challenges rather than waiting for an attacker to make the first move. Once he has the ball his instinct is to carry it forward himself, using close control to beat a winger in a one on one rather than looking for the nearest pass. That directness with the ball makes him one of Tottenham's more reliable ways of escaping pressure when the team is pinned back in its own half.

The tension with a full back this committed to the tackle is the discipline required to avoid a needless card in a dangerous area. Fans have learned to enjoy the aggression while occasionally holding their breath at the timing of it, since the same instinct that wins the ball can just as easily concede a needless free kick.

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

Eight Championship players are one yellow card away from a one-match ban. Card rates show who might be missing, and QPR should line up cover for Jake Clarke-Salter now.

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.
