Talent – Gylfi Sigurdsson

It hasn’t taken long for Swansea’s Gylfi Sigurdsson to make his mark in the Premier League. Handed the role of chief creator by Brendan Rodgers, the loan signing from Hoffenheim has already produced a series of strong performances and, with 3 assists and a goal in just four appearances, is starting to catch the eye of Fantasy managers.

Climbing off the bench on his debut, Sigurdsson set up Danny Graham to notch the winner in a five-goal thriller against Arsenal. Despite a blank in the following game away to Sunderland, the Icelandic international provided the assist in the 1-1 draw with Chelsea, before a sublime display –in his first full appearance for the Swans- saw him return a goal and assist in last week’s 2-1 win at West Brom.

Averaging 6.25 points per game in Fantasy Premier League (FPL), and priced at a mere 5.0, we analyse his displays so far, using the Opta stats available to members, in addition to our very own ICT Index…

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      My advice is no better than others THESTEADY.

      It will be Dempsey (likely) or Bale (slightly less likely)

      I think Sess' niggle gives all of us a reason to perhaps bench him for this not amazing fixture.

      ^ Not that this really helps. Bench Valencia as well 😉

    Seriously contemplating Evra GW28, fixtures just look too good and if all defenders are fit there will be a lot of rotation! 7.2m is a lot though for mainly 6 points!

          Everytime i think i've decided i change my mind. Sigurdsson is the safe pick but Blackburns team is looking very weak this GW...

    I would much appreciate it if somebody could look at my team and suggest a exit strategy for my players?
    I have 0 in the bank and that worries me...

      Can't see much to worry about looking at your team actually, looks in fairly good shape no? Wait for news on Sess I guess.
