Here is a team made up of the top 11 Fantasy League players so far this season:
GK) Fraser Forster – Southampton – 81 pts
The Saints have been a real surprise package this season, and with far and away the best defensive record in the league it’s no surprise to see Forster top of the table. Although with just six points between the top five keepers, there isn’t much to choose from.
DEF) Nathaniel Clyne – Southampton – 86 pts
Clyne has been a revelation for Ronald Koeman’s side this season, adding goals to his game as well as improving defensively.
Injured at the moment, but expected back very soon. One of the must haves in your team this year.
DEF) Branislav Ivanovic – Chelsea – 91 pts
An unbelievable start to the season has kept the Serbian as one of the highest earning defenders.
He is certainly reliable, but as one of the most expensive too, he doesn’t offer fantastic value for money.
DEF) John Terry – Chelsea – 95 pts
The Chelesa captain has played every minute of Chelsea’s Premier League campaign this season, and is one of the best goalscoring defenders around; with three goal in his last four games.
DEF) Ryan Bertrand – Southampton – 96 pts
A huge number of clean sheets, as well as two goals and two assists. The left-back has excelled on loan from Chelsea, and has been one of the stand out performers this season.
MID) Gylfi Sigurdsson – Swansea City – 100 pts
The Icelandic international looks newly galvanised on his return to Swansea, and after a disappointing spell at Tottenham Hotspur is back to his best.
Second only to Cesc Fabregas in assists this season, Sigurdsson was one of he bargains of the season at just £6m.
MID) Cesc Fabregas – Chelsea – 111 pts
A colossal 14 assists at the half way point, Chelsea’s summer signing is settling back into the Premier League excellently.
Pulling the strings from midfield, the Spaniard is involved in most of the London side’s action.
MID) Alexis Sanchez – Arsenal – 122 pts
Arsenal’s £35m summer signing from Barcelona, Alexis Sanchez has taken the Premier League by storm.
Ten goals and six assists already, the Chilean looks unstoppable at times.
MID) Eden Hazard – Chelsea – 125 pts
After a fairly slow start, the tricky Chelsea winger has really started to produce in recent weeks.
Seemingly far more effective at Stamford Bridge than away from home, the Belgian is only likely to continue to rise in price as the season wears on. If he isn’t already in your team, he certainly should be.
ST) Charlie Austin – QPR – 99 pts
Looking likely to prove the bargain of the season, Austin has been in unbelievable goalscoring form for the Hoops.
Another player who excels when playing at home, the English striker is currently beating out big money names such as Diego Costa and Robin van Persie.
ST) Sergio Aguero – Manchester City – 105 pts
The fact that Aguero has been injured for the last six games just goes to show how effective he was before that.
The top scorer in the Premier League this season with 14 goals, once fit the Argentine should be in everybody’s squad.
