Cianan’s Column: GW21: The Ekitiké enigma

Ekitiké is owned, at the time of writing, by 32% of managers, and it’s challenging to know what to do with the Liverpool forward. Looking down the barrel of GW18, 19, and 20, he looked extremely promising, but his best score during those weeks was a 5-pointer against bottom-of-the-table Wolves,...

Critics label it as an “echo-chamber”, but it can instead be seen as a soft, if insular, battleground for pragmatic politics. If there’s anything a...

Common contrarian culture: Instagram at Warwick

Supposedly, there’s a man in the Koan. How could we have been so ignorant of this flagrant injustice for all these years? How he’s survived in there is, of course, a mystery to science. Perhaps some of Warwick’s incredible STEM scholars can stop engaging in the irrelevant, like discovering new...

Cianan’s Column: Transfer chaos ahead of GW17

It appears a lot of people read this column, given that over 800,000 people have brought in Wilson ahead of GW17. That, or they saw his masterful 16-pointer at the weekend and are vehemently knee-jerking. I’ll let you decide. But, in all seriousness, if you can afford a two-week punt,...

Cianan’s Column: GW16: Transfers here, there & everywhere

Firstly, this week’s column can only begin one way, with a thank you to Manchester United midfielder Fernandes. GW15 was one of my worst weeks in FPL history, a sentiment many would share, and yet his 18-pointer saved us from the brink of outright destruction. The Portuguese maestro is still...

Grading algorithms threaten degree credibility, claims OfS

The higher education watchdog for England, the Office for Students (OfS), has warned that degree-awarding procedures at universities are overly generous and risk undermining academic integrity.   The regulator’s recent report highlighted that “inherently inflationary” practices being used at English universities, such as over-reliance on algorithmic marking and dismissal of a student’s lowest mark, misrepresent the achievements of students and...

Cianan’s Column: GW13/14: Free hit frenzy and mid-week madness

Welcome to the first iteration of Cianan’s Column covering two gameweeks, as a result of GW13 ending and GW14 beginning within only a day of each other. Our esteemed Sport Editor will (quite rightly) mention the exorbitant wordcount, so let’s stop wasting time and get into it. Firstly, GW13. My...

But seriously, what is the point of Your Party?

Throughout the brief history of Your Party, I’ve been there: from its amateurish formation, to its disingenuous marketing, to its ego-fuelled spat with the Greens. I’ve developed somewhat of a reputation for it. When I took the pitch for this very article, I was met with a comedic remark from...
