Hi people. Firstly good luck on your first season in The Premiership! Hope you manage to kick on like we did and push some deadwood out! I'm after a favour; I'm just looking at my Fantasy Football application and was wondering who are the ones to watch out for/ the most likely point scorers in your team? Any advice would be welcome! Good luck for the forthcoming season and I look forward to welcoming you to St Mary's!!
Thanks mate, hope we can emulate what Saints have done and do well whilst playing some decent football. In terms of city players for fantasy league I would have: Maynor Figueroa - Cheap and can score goals (watch the one he got in pre season against peterborough) Robbie Brady - Great player that will get assists, 2nd top assister in the Championship despite joining us in November David Meyler - Cheap player that will probably get a few goals as he did last year (5 in 20) Sone Aluko - Fantastic ability to turn and attack the goal, best player in the Championship when not injured. He will get a few goals and assists next season. Nobody is really likely to get you a load of points but they are very good options for the bench if you want to save some money for a big player like RVP or Bale
For FF players, I would certainly recommend staying away from our defence - as we will likely ship a lot of goals. I'd go for Robbie Brady and Sone Aluko. Brady gets a lot of assists and chips in with the odd goal, and Aluko will probably be our top scorer and gets a few assists himself. One of our new strikers, Sagbo or Graham, might turn out good for us as well, but time will tell with those 2.
Stephen Quinn or David Meyler are your best bet as they'll play every game and they barely put a foot wrong for us last season. Elmo would probably be a good shout. Defence and strikers I would avoid until we see how well they can cope at this level.
With FF you've got to remember it's not about the best players it's about points. James Chester is probably our best player, but he won't get you points as he's a centre half who doesn't score. Robbie Brady will be the best player to pick from our team. He plays every week, he crosses and shoots constantly leading to a lot of assists and a fair few goals for a wing back and he also takes set pieces and even penalties some times.
I'd go Brady and Aluko. Surprise cheap addition up front could be Sagbo? No idea what to expect of him? But he scored on his debut in a friendly
Just had a quick look on the Prem FF (the official league one), and Sagbo isn't on it yet. And Evans is still in our squad.
Thanks all, some good advice there; much appreciated! Haha, yes I am fully aware it's not your first time in The Prem-let's just hope that this time is just as exciting for you but with a better ending! You've got a much better Manager this time so sure you'll fare well! Best of luck!
Did laugh at hampton and richmond they are proper ****e. But somehow whenever i watch them play dover they play out their skins and pick up a result
100% serious, he may have been our best midfielder but that only highlights how poor our midfield is imo. I honesly think if Bruce gets 3 decent midfielders Quinn and Myler will be getting splinters, Myler maybe not as much because Bruce will have told the owners when he bought him he was PL standard (he just couldnt get in a struggling sunderland team)
