Fantasy football is arguably the most frustrating game on earth.
It’s essentially betting without the money, but when it’s nothing but your pride on the line it can hurt that much more when you just miss out.
Such was the situation for fantasy managers all around the country after Robert Huth’s two goals led Leicester City to a 3-1 demolition of Manchester City.
Unsurprisingly, fans had decided to rest Huth for the trip to the Etihad…

Dropped Huth from my fantasy team today.

Of course such a massive managerial oversight calls a coach’s future into question…

But still there was hope for those who had Dele Alli in their starting line-up, as the Spurs midfielder carried a knock into the weekend…
Just realised I put Huth on my fantasy league bench this week

They say that fantasy football is a matter of life and death. To some it’s more important than that…
Do I want Gareth McAuley to be killed shortly before kick off so Huth comes into my fantasy team? Would be unfair for me to say.
