Round 35: Fantasy EPL Review Because of the FA Cup semi-finals, there are only six matches present in this week’s review. Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool were the top teams in action. City celebrated its title in style with five goals past Swansea. David and Bernardo Silva, Sterling, De Bruyne and Gabriel Jesus scored a goal each. De Bruyne and Sterling had an assist each as well, Fabian Delph had two, while Jesus missed a penalty.The final score of 4-1 seems convincing, but Arsenal needed three goals after the…

"Acuña Gohara, what a wonderful phrase/Acuña Gohara, ain't no passing craze."Isn't that how the song goes that Timon and Pumbaa sing in "The Lion King?" No?

ROUND 34: FANTASY EPL REVIEW Who saw that coming? Manchester United followed up its win at Manchester City with a home loss to last-placed West Bromwich.

Jay Rodriguez was the only scorer in the shocker at Old Trafford, whereas Sterling, Gundogan and Gabriel Jesus found the net for City.With the title race over and the Champions League berths practically sealed, only the last Europa…

Even people living under rocks know about the offensive prowess of Vladimir Guerreo Jr. and Bo Bichette, two second-generation hitters who have been turning heads all spring. Prospects like this don't come around very often, and the fact that both currently play for the New Hampshire Fisher Cats is just plain unfair for the rest of the Eastern League. Not to mention that Craig Biggio's son and Yuli Gurriel's little brother are also on the roster.On Saturday night, when the temperatures sat in the mid to upper-30s, I sat…
