20/21 Fantasy Premier League

Re: 20/21 Fantasy Premier League

This season has been bonkers. And players so far in the early season are having insane games and just going off fantasy wise. There have a been a bunch of 30+ scorers so far this season. So I was curious to compare to the last two seasons.

So far this season in the first four weeks we have:

Week 1:
Mo Salah - 46
Reece James - 32

Week 2:
KDB - 39
Harry Kane - 46
Son - 50
Neal Maupay - 31
Zaha - 31
Calvert-Lewin - 35

Week 3:
Mason Mount - 32
Vardy - 36

Weel 4:
Kane - 36
James Rodriguez - 36
Callum Wilson - 34
Ben Chilwell - 40
Grealish - 54
Ollie Watkins - 46
Son - 37
Creswell - 37
Jorginho - 32

19 players over 30 in the first 4 weeks. And 6 over 40! And that insane game from Grealish where he broke 50.

Compare that to last year in the first 4 weeks, there was only 8 players over 30 points. And only one of those was over 40 points.

And the year before that, 6 players over 30 points. And only one over 40.

Granted the bench scores are not visible from the past two years. So the numbers could be slightly higher. But I would wager only a couple bench players in each season mos likely; if that.


This season is going to be interesting I think. As long as these insane games keep happening. And I hope they do. Its fun.

I really want to find a spot in my lineup for Pedro Neto but you can only have 3 Forwards in your eleven He plays in midfield for Wolves. ( Not every game but he played there last weekend). Wish they would change his position.

In the past they had a few players with flexible positions. Jota was one, for example, so you could put him in either a M or F slot, which was fantastic.

I don't know if any players have that ability this year, though.

Re: 20/21 Fantasy Premier League

Ben Godfey has M, D by his name. The only one I could recall.

Re: 20/21 Fantasy Premier League

Bale has M/F

They did a better job than last year in classifying positions but they still struggle with wingers and whether or not their forwards or middies.

Re: 20/21 Fantasy Premier League

Yeah, there are definitely multiple positions. Not sure how it's defined. For example, is Pulisic really a midfielder - that's his only position? I dunno, but I'm glad I get to use him in midfield. Same with Antonio at West Ham.

Re: 20/21 Fantasy Premier League

Most interesting waiver activity, you ask?

Klopp Hugs dropping Keita for Cavani.

Yes, that Keita, who was predicited to be a top-ten player in terms of points, and even called a steal the the draft, I believe.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Won't be the first time I'll be wrong.

That's alright, Bamford will maybe take that mantle instead.

I wouldn't have even noted it, or remembered it if it wasn't for the confidence you had when making that pick. To be fair, when I had him at the end of the season and he started, he'd give me 12–16 points, which is very solid.

And hey, I drafted Ozil. Yeah.

Re: 20/21 Fantasy Premier League

Why just be wrong when you can be CONFIDENTLY wrong?

But really I wasn't sure what would happen if I put the same player to drop (Ayew) for both of my claims. I'm a bit surprised that none of the 4 above me put in for the Leeds signing tbh

Re: 20/21 Fantasy Premier League

^ I thought about Raphinha but I already have 6 Forwards. Like I expressed the other day, I wish some players such as wingers were classified as Midfielders. You have Callum Hudson-Odoi and he's listed as an F, I have Harvey Barnes who pretty much plays the same position and he's a MF.

I desperately needed a defender so I went with Telles, who can hopefully whip in some assists to Cavani.

To the bench with you, Shaw!

Re: 20/21 Fantasy Premier League

With my luck, Cavani will play like 5 matches and mutually terminate his contract in March or something.

Re: 20/21 Fantasy Premier League

^ He's already come out today and voiced his desire to play for Boca Juniors one day.

Re: 20/21 Fantasy Premier League

I love the new PL time slot schedule as a fan but for fantasy is sucks.

You can really get screwed with a lack of options in some of the late games.
