The 7 Greatest former Fantasy Premier League Cult Heroes To Follow
Fantasy football fans always rely on the big guns in their teams to win. However, it is impossible to
succeed without incorporating players who are not worth much but contribute more points in goals, assists, and clean sheets. These players are mostly not in the Premier League now or are past their cult status and therefore they would not push you to find all MansionBet bonus codes to bet on them but have been FPL heroes in the past.
Here, we look at 7 most extraordinary fantasy premier league cult heroes to follow.
1. Michu
Michu was every FPL manager’s bargain midfielder. He took the EPL by storm in the 2012/13
season. After arriving in Wales as an unknown, he put in great performances in the English Premier
League, scoring 18 goals in 35 games.
Michu was misclassified by the FPL administrators and was available at a bargain. His form went
down in the following season following a streak of injuries. There might not be another Michu,
which makes him a cult hero.
2. Dimitri Payet
Players from other leagues usually take some time to settle in the premier league. AS a result, FPL
managers typically apply a “wait and see” approach when new players arrive. Their cautious
approach is informed by the fact that some players take a long time to adapt to the English game.
When Payet arrived, he had performed brilliantly for his former employers Marseille in the
previous season. The FPL managers that took a gamble on him never regretted as he netted nine
goals and managed 12 assists.
3. Luka Milivojevic
The Serbian international’s contribution to his team might go unnoticed by many save for FPL
managers. There is no flair in the Serb’s game. He is a tidy player and does not have fast feet.
However, he has one strength in his locker that endears him to FPL managers – he is a set-piece
master. He was not so brilliant last season but reached double digits in goals in the 2018/19 season.
The majority of his goals were from the spot.
4. Wilfred Bony
Wilfred Bony arrived at Swansea to replace FPL hero Michu. The striker was an instant hit at the
Welsh club, managing 16 goals in his first season in 2014/15. He continued his excellent
performances the next season, which saw him move to Manchester City, where he did not
perform well. But the season and a half he performed well, he remains a hero to FPL managers.
5. Odion Ighalo
Odion Ighalo was a godsend for the FPL in 2015/16. He was available for a starting price of 5 GBP
but was ruthless in front of goal. He scored on his debut and went on to score 16 goals with 6
assists that season. Later in his career at Watford, he went for 599 minutes without a goal before
moving to China. He is currently on loan at Manchester United.
6. Clint Dempsey
Clint Dempsey was the FPL hero for the 2012/13 season in which he became the highest-scoring
American in the Premier League history. In that season, he became a hero to the FPL managers by
scoring 17 goals and providing 6 assists giving managers 209 points. He wasn’t cheap as he started
the season at £8.5m and ended at £9.8m. His points tally was 2 shy of the mighty Aguero that
season.
7. John Lundstram
John is the undisputed FPL managers’ most preferred fantasy football asset. “The Lord” became an
instant hit in the 2019/20 season after being categorized as a defender despite being a midfielder.
When he started scoring goals, he became a must have player in the league. He started that
season at a bargain price of £4.0m.
