Sky Sports Fantasy Football – Potential Bargains Part 2

So here’s the 2nd part of my sky sports fantasy football bargains.  Another 6 clubs done and 1  more part to go.

Ive repeated the context below of this article for people who havent read the 2 articles in order.  Remember these tips can change in their importance as transfers happen. Don’t worry though in the week before the opening game I will review all teams, including Sky sports fantasy football potential bargains,  so will be updated

Here’s the context again then:

With quality over all the premier league this season and the likes of Rooney and  Aguero looking near must haves in our Sky Sports Fantasy Football team, finding value elsewhere is going to be essential.  Here’s the second of a series of articles  identifying  value in a player (ie a potential bargain)  after looking through all  teams in the Sky Sports Fantasy Football format.

I’m doing them in the best fixture order in my article  “fantasy premier league – analysing the opening 6 rounds of fixtures”.  See at bottom of page.  For those who need a reminder of the rules see my article “Sky Sports Football Summary and key points”.  Again the link is at the bottom of the page

Generally players will be value for the following reasons:

(1)  Injuries to another player or a transfer of another player from the club has given them unexpected game time

(2)  Sky Sports Fantasy Football believes they may not be first choice for their position

(3)  They have transferred in from a lower ranked team.

With no reserves and limited transfers in the Sky Sports Fantasy Football format its vital that value is weighed up against the risk of the player not playing.  Therefore,  value players in your team should be thought about carefully and I wouldn’t start with 8 but a well chosen sprinkle may be necessary.

Rest assured we at fantasy football geek  will be keeping an eye out in pre-season for their prospects.  By the way for this article I will ignore out of position players as I will be doing a separate piece on these players.  Out of position is a player who plays, say, as a forward but is classified as a midfielder in the Sky Fantasy Football game.

Here goes then. Remember it goes from best opening 6 fixtures to the worst. Part 2 here will concentrate on the 6 teams next teams with the worst opening 6 games in Sky sports fantasy football

Everton

Tim Cahill – midfield (£5.6m)

WBA

Newcastle

Davide Santon – defender(£5.3m)

Fulham

Nothing here really, Frei may provide a cheap filler if you’re absolutely desperate but is underlying stats don’t suggest anything and he gave no returns in 6 games last year.  Upfront Rodallega and Petric are keenly value at £6.7 and £6.8m respectively.  Petric is the 53rd most expensive striker in Sky sports fantasy football way behind the likes of Helguson and Fortune.  Fulham are a very attacking team and there is definite potential there.  Its just which one of them will play?  or will they both play?  The situation needs monitoring but its too difficult to pick one now

Wigan

Di Santo – striker (£7.5m)

 Reasonably expensive in relation to his Wigan team mates and maybe if you are putting a Wigan player in you would go for Moses at £6.9 in your midfield.  However Di Santo is only the 38th most expensive striker in Sky sports fantasy football . Jamie Mackie and Steve Morison are more expensive and with Rodallega gone he should play.  His record was nothing too flash,  7 goals in 32 games but his shooting stats were good, just his ability to hit the target that was questionable.  He should be improved for a run of games last season
