If you've played your wildcard by now, chances are steam is protruding from your ears in '50s cartoon-esque fashion. The Fantasy landscape it is a changin and there are a lot of enticing options out there for Fantasy Managers, as well as a lot of drop candidates, so we've picked out a few key protagonists and antagonists to get in, or out, of your Fantasy team.
Buy Low
Michail Antonio (7.3) -- Wham
Tony's last four games have been Fantasy Football Nirvana. Mistakenly slated for a right-back role pre-season, the fiesty winger has come up trumps with five goals in his last four, and now boasts an 18.1% ownership. Two upcoming home ties against Soton, and then Boro, are followed by Palace away and Sunderland at London Stadium so the fixtures couldn't really be more boner-inducing.
And you've been saving your free transfer for a special occasion like this and all. Sometimes things just work out perfectly.
Fool's Gold
Etienne Capoo (5.0) -- Watford
I'm gonna get slaughtered for this... again... but Capoue is not a good fantasy football option. Thus far he is the top scoring midfielder, and costs less than half of the second-top-scoring-midfielder, but just how many of his 44 points have been spaffed away on Fantasy managers' benches? Pretty much all I'd say. If you're brave enough (or have a team shitty enough) to start the man, all power to you. If not, he's the definition of Fool's Gold, and will frustrate you every week.
People telling you to put Capoue in your team trying to help being like:
Puntsville, USA
Vincent Janssen (7.8) -- Tottenham
The Harrikane rolled his ankle something fierce against Blunderland. It were nasty. Jan the man stepped up mid-week and got the job done. Expect him to do the same at Boro this weekend. We waxed lyrical about his talent pre-season and now the Dutchman has a chance to show his fritesauce. Spurs are still trundling along in third gear but have had the most goal attempts in the league (95) and their resounding 5-0 thwomping of Gillingham could well be followed by a smooshing of Middlesborough, who have conceded five in their past two games. Goomba.
Spurs are gonna lay the pain on Boro this weekend, like some kind of terrifying racist Nintendo Presidential Candidate
