    Sleeper – Steven Taylor

    Filed under: Pre-Season, Sleeper - Posted by: Paul

    It had all started so well for Steven Taylor last season. The central defender was a cut-price phenomenon in the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game in particular, with his propensity for picking up bonus points, allied with solid defensive returns, making a mockery of his initial 4.5 valuation. Investment picked up pace as his cost [...]

    Sleeper – Daniel Agger

    Filed under: Pre-Season, Sleeper - Posted by: Paul

    Daniel Agger seems to be one of those defenders who offers plenty of potential without ever quite managing to deliver on the Fantasy front. Despite his ability on the ball and regular goal threat, the big Dane disappoints when it comes to racking up returns but the installation of Brendan Rodgers may just prove the [...]

    Having taken the Premier League by storm in his debut season for West Brom back in 2010/11, Peter Odemwingie declined dramatically as a Fantasy prospect in his second full campaign to assume “Sleeper” status.

    Sleeper – Darren Bent

    Filed under: Pre-Season, Sleeper - Posted by: Paul

    In seasons gone by it almost seemed irrelevant as to where Darren Bent plied his trade, such was his consistency in finding the net. Given enough game time, the goals flew in with incredible regularity – Bent had notched double figures in eight of the nine campaigns prior to 2011/12 but the arrival of Alex [...]

    Sleeper – Fernando Torres

    Filed under: Pre-Season, Sleeper - Posted by: Paul

    There have been few, if any, more frustrating Fantasy assets over the past or two than Fernando Torres. The 24-goal haul in his debut campaign with Liverpool may have been five seasons ago but many still cling to the old adage that class is permanent, despite his recent woes. Others insist El Nino is way [...]

    Sleeper – Robert Huth

    Filed under: Pre-Season, Sleeper - Posted by: Paul

    It says a lot about Robert Huth’s previous performances that the Stoke City defender started last season’s Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game with the same price tag as Vincent Kompany. Granted, the City skipper had been classified as a midfielder beforehand but Huth’s outstanding attacking returns were enough to see him slapped with a 6.0 [...]

    Sleeper – Steven Gerrard

    Filed under: Pre-Season, Sleeper - Posted by: Paul

    It’s been a couple of seasons since we’ve seen the best of Steven Gerrard from a domestic point of view. A one-time member of the midfield “Holy Trinity” along with Cristiano Ronaldo and Frank Lampard, the Liverpool skipper rescued many a Gameweek with his typical barnstorming displays…
