Ellis Simms, The Target Man Who Wins The First Header

Defenders know exactly where his headers are going and still cannot manage to stop him getting there first.

Simms leads the line as a genuine target man, using his physical presence to win the first header and lay the ball off before defenders recover their shape around him. He has scored consistently at every level he has played, from loan spells in the lower leagues through to a leading goalscoring role at Coventry. That record suggests a natural finishing instinct rather than a streak that simply runs out.

The question that follows any target man moving up a level is whether the aerial ability that dominated smaller centre backs still works against Premier League defenders. Simms has never needed to be quick to be effective, relying instead on timing and strength in the box. Watch how his manager arranges the players around him, because service has always mattered more to his output than raw pace.

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.
