One famous pundit is ranked 229th in Fantasy Football worldwide

Like many ex-footballers before him, Owen Hargreaves has turned to punditry to keep him involved in the game, writes Stephen Barry.

He may be a solid, if unspectacular, contributor on our TV screens, much like he was during his playing career, but there’s one sign that, maybe, just maybe, he could become one of the punditry elite.

Hargreaves has used his crystal-ball-seer abilities to achieve a ranking of 229th in the world at Fantasy Football.

And that’s 229th out of 4.4million people.

His team WhenTheOwenGetsTough is also bossing a ‘Pundits v Presenters’ mini-league, ahead of Matt Holland (4th), Andy Townsend (6th), Phil Neville (7th) and Ian Wright (9th). Alan Shearer’s team is 15th, while the long-forgotten selection of Peter Schmeichel is dead last – with his son Kasper consigned to the bench.

Here’s Hargreaves’ team after the international break…

Although he needs to find a replacement for the unfortunate Seamus Coleman, who are we to judge the rest of his selections?
