Everton

Jarrad Branthwaite

A left footed centre half with the recovery pace to let Everton defend far higher up the pitch than the personnel around him should really allow. He steps into midfield with the ball as if it were the obvious thing to do.

Jarrad Branthwaite, The Pace Behind The Line

A centre half whose speed lets his team defend in a way most Premier League sides cannot.

Branthwaite is quick in a way that changes what a coach is allowed to ask of a back four, because the ball over the top stops being frightening once somebody can run it down. He defends on the front foot, using his reach to nick the ball off a forward's toe, and he rarely needs to grab a shirt to slow anybody down. In possession he is left footed and calm, carrying the ball out of defence until an opponent finally steps towards him.

The concern that follows him around is availability, because injuries have removed stretches of football that his ability should comfortably have filled. Everton defend in a noticeably different shape without him, sitting deeper and inviting far more pressure onto themselves. That is the clearest compliment a defender can be paid by his own team.

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.
