Chelsea

Wesley Fofana

A centre half who defends forwards rather than space, stepping in front of the striker to intercept the pass before it arrives and refusing to let anybody settle. Aggressive in a controlled, deliberate way.

Wesley Fofana, Defending On The Front Foot

A French centre half who prefers to intercept the pass rather than deal with what follows it.

Fofana defends by moving forward, which is a genuinely different instinct from the one most centre halves are taught. He watches the passer rather than the striker, reads the moment the ball is released, then steps across to take it cleanly before the forward can turn. Defending that way requires real conviction, because being wrong leaves the goalkeeper exposed with nobody in front of him.

The tragedy of his career is how little of it he has actually been able to spend on a pitch. Serious injuries have arrived one after another, each one costing him months and a share of the explosiveness the style depends on. Watching him stay fit for a sustained run would tell everybody far more than any assessment made from the treatment room.

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.
