FIFA 18 Verdict: Port Vale (A)

Port Vale (Away): FIFA 18 Verdict

So, a minor win for last week’s FIFA 18 Verdict. No, it didn’t get the final score right. Nor did it get the outcome or total number of goals on the nose either. It’s not perfect, we told you this. What it did do in a rare display of competence, however, was …

Notts County (Away): FIFA 18 Verdict

A small step forward for our FIFA 18 Verdict, then, as Yeovil Town upheld their end of the bargain by scoring last weekend. Of course, there was also a giant leap back as well; Boro’s four goals putting a decisive end to any crazy ideas that it’d be a draw. So …

Yeovil Town (Home): FIFA 18 Verdict

“Must do better”: That’s what a school report would read, if such school reports are ever used to appraise our FIFA 18 Verdict. And what sort of enlightened education system feels that it should be reporting on a two-bob computer game-based prediction, er, things in any case? The French one?! …
