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…

    Walters > Dempsey

    I'll need to sell R Taylor for a defender 4.4 or under for a 4 point hit

    Yay or Nay?

          No defenders gonna score big this week imo so Newc's bad fixture this week isn't an issue. I say go for it

      IMO you should more than make that 4 point hit up with the points those 2 are SUPPOSED to be bringing in. I would do it

    Vorm

    Richards, Taiwo, Caulker

    Silva, Bale, Dempsey, Sessgnon

    RVP, Aguero, Ba

    Subs: Krul, Sinclair, Santon, Shotton

    Thoughts? Mini-league opposition all have RVP (c) and no Dempsey in any of the teams

      That's wasted money on the bench. If you do that you may as well sell him.

        don't want to sell either really as aguero is awesome at home and city's fixtures are very favourable after this fixture so can see silva picking up big points soon. Just thinking of ways to get the most points this gameweek, would normally bench siggy or mclean but im finding mclean's form hard to overlook and siggy has norwich at home..

          Im benching McClean, they just had very tough game this week .
          Really only bought him as a bench player , sadly thats where he was last week , he did get me points the week before though

            yeah think ill do the same actually, but was so frustrated with his points haul last gameweek when he was sitting on my bench! The next dilemma is the captain choice, cant decide between bale, dempsey and RVP??? u think RVP is in for a good week considering sunderlands tough match midweek?
