KEY:
1. Rank: My view of their rank given the various stats
2. Cost: Their cost in Sun Dream Team
3. PPG 15/16: The total points divided by the games played for 14/15. The higher the better. The Sun Dream Team supplies games including sub appearances which makes the information a bit distorted.
4. Extra Comps: The additional competitions the team is in apart from the Premier league. UCL is the Champions League and EL is the Europa League. C1 is the Capital One.
6. The % of 7+ plus awards of their total games. This gives a general indication of Sun Dream Teams view of the player.
7. The % of Starman awards.Again this gives a general view of the players starman potential
8. Fixture ease. This is the rank of how easy their fixtures are to the 2nd transfer window.
Aguero
The Man City striker is undoubtedly the most dangerous player in the league despite his slow start. Great fixtures and difficult UCL group mean he might not be rotated for those games. Also has pens
Rooney
A very mixed start with very poor performances papered over by a hat trick against Brugge. However the high 7 plus rating notwithstanding this is good news. Also is the fact that he has no real replacement apart from a 19 year old Frenchman who’s scored 11 goals in the French league.
Sanchez
Top quality world class player who despite lack of returns seems to be liked by the Sun Dream Team rating system. With a query over the Walcott/Giroud striker role Sanchez becomes a natural choice for your Arsenal striking coverage
Benteke
A lot to prove in the Liverpool shirt so far especially as to how his strengths match up with Rodgers desired playing style. Also has to be a question over whether he plays in the Europa League given the reserves they have. Also some risk over how and where he plays when Sturridge returns
Costa
The Chelsea striker has good back up for the winnable UCL games and a chequered and rather boring hamstring injury which seems to have carried over into the new season despite a rest in the off season.
Kane
Like Benteke, the Spurs striker has a question mark over whether he will play in the Europa League games although a tricky group and lack of back up may see him play more than expected. Got off to a slow start and interestingly rather harshly treated by the 7 rating stats. I’ve thought has been unlucky to date. Should have pens
Gomis
The Swansea striker is off to a great start with 4 goals in 4 games and with no European games Swansea should be one of the teams that takes the domestic cups seriously. Good draw in the next round of the Cap 1. Good premier league fixtures.
Diouf
The Stoke striker seems to have cemented the lone striker spot and has reasonable premier league fixtures as well as being part of a side that will look to win the Cap 1. The only issue is the depth of the squad means rotation could be on the cards for those games. Needs monitoring over a hamstring injury.
Lukaku
The Everton striker has started in great form and has a secure spot plus pens. The only negative is the difficult fixtures in the premier league over this phase of Sun Dream Team
Wilson
The Bournemouth striker is probably the best cheap option with Vardy of Leicester. Good premier league fixtures and with 4 goals in his last 2 games (including a hat trick) should be in a very confident mood. Has pens too. The negative is Glenn Murray joining from Palace. His effect at the moment isn’t known and at best could limit his Cap 1 games
