The teams that have scored the most points in Sky Sports Fantasy in 2020/21 so far

Picking the right blend of individuals is paramount, but which teams are the biggest hitters in the Premier League when it comes to Sky Sports Fantasy Football points?

Along with player trends, form and fixtures, the league table of Fantasy Football points accrued team-by-team(above) can also be a clear indication of where you may want to recruit coming out of the Overhaul period.

That, of course, ends at 12:30pm on Saturday 17 October, with kick-off in the Merseyside derby between table-toppers Everton and champions Liverpool marking the end of the unlimited transfers.

There have been goals galore in the 2020/21 season so far with no signs of that particular trend stopping. Some noticeable numbers can be taken out of the Fantasy points table, which throws up some surprises at the bottom end as well as the top.

State of Play

There is a strong correlation with the teams who have scored in abundance and its correspondence to Fantasy Football points. The top two are unchanged in relation to the Premier League table, with Everton, Aston Villa, Tottenham and Leicester making up the top four. Three of those sides have plundered 12 league goals, with Villa scoring 11, adhering to the pattern.

Everton are flying high at the top with 260 points, thanks largely to the sublime starts from Dominic Calvert-Lewin (47) and marquee-signing James Rodriguez (40). Aside from these two, eight other Everton players have hit double figures for the year, proving collectively why Everton are ahead of the rest and could be a worthy avenue to venture down for assets post-Overhaul.

Aston Villa’s 7-2 hammering of Liverpool did not only maintain their 100 per cent record, but it rewarded a heap of Fantasy Football managers who risked having those players within their side. No risk, no reward. This tallied a total of 88 points, with Ollie Watkins and Jack Grealish posting 26 and 25 respectively.

It is a tale of two opposites at the top and foot of the table. Spurs thumped Manchester United 6-1 at Old Trafford before the international break and that game alone threw up some key insights.

Tottenham racked up a hefty 95 Fantasy points in their win, which is more than Manchester United have accumulated all season, showing just how bad their start has been. Harry Kane and Son Heung-min scored 37 between them to sink Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side.

Speaking of which, their measly 86 Fantasy Football points puts Manchester United in the relegation places, just one spot ahead of Burnley. Unsurprisingly, 25 of these have come from Bruno Fernandes, who drove Manchester United to third last term having signed from Sporting Lisbon in January. But so far both of his goals have come from the penalty spot and aside from that Man United have mustered just three goals from open play, one of which was an own-goal.

Burnley have notched just three goals for the campaign, while Sheffield United have just the solitary goal to their name, highlighting why they take up the additional two relegation spots. Goals mean points, but so do clean sheets, and these sides have failed to register one between them this term.

The importance of defensive solidity can be emphasised in the case of Wolves, who have had an inconsistent start but have managed to keep two clean sheets out of a possible four. Due to this, Wolves defenders have earned 93 points alone from fixtures against Sheffield United and Fulham, showing how effective those bonus points from the backline can be, as well as how important it is to choose your defensive assets wisely.

If the first batch of Premier League games are anything to go by, then it would be worth investing some time into the fixtures which some of the form sides have in the weeks to come, and making that call as to whether you would back the players who make your XI to deliver for a sustained period of time. 

Transfer Trends

Numerous drafts, debates and transfers will have taken place over the past week or so, but we are now at the business end of the international break.

Many players have been performing superbly, with others perhaps going under the radar, but who has been winning the race to be the most transferred in player during the Overhaul period?

Grealish has further enhanced his image and selection within Fantasy Football teams off the back of his role in England’s win over Wales on international duty. Aston Villa face Leeds, Southampton, Brighton and West Ham in their next six, so with that in mind, it may not be surprising to see Grealish at the top of the pile.

In relation to the top point scorers in both Everton and Tottenham’s side, Rodriguez, Calvert-Lewin, Son and Kane make up the rest of the top five players transferred in. Everton do have a Merseyside derby on their hands, followed by matches with Southampton and Newcastle, but with Liverpool conceding seven to Villa, do fixtures now play as much of an important role as they once did?

They must do for some Fantasy Football managers, with Tottenham facing West Ham, Burnley, Brighton and West Brom in their next four outings. Even when are you not focusing specifically on fixtures, these are ones which scream points from a Spurs asset’s perspective. Son, Kane, and dare we say Gareth Bale could prove invaluable during this period.

      Next week for sure

    2. Botman and Robben

      I won't get him now. Will consider if I want to ship Kane out later.

    3. Gazza2000

      Not yet...

    4. Threat Level Midnight

      I can not wait to ride that wave

  2. FER FUSCH AKE

    Might get Grealish in for KDB -4. That Leicester backline looks a mess.

    1. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Good fixtures to come too

    2. Joey Tribbiani
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      yes

  3. PascalCygan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    With KdB injured and Reece James seemingly a rotation risk now, would you take a -4 to replace KdB or just let Saiss (and Mitchell if James doesn’t play) come in from the bench?

    Martinez

  6. Feed tha Sheep

    Is Werner > Kane worth a -4?

    1. Joey Tribbiani
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      yes

    2. Dexters Laboratory
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      This is the transfer that looks good but could burn you. For a -4 I'd keep Werner

      1. Feed tha Sheep
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah that’s my thinking..this season any transfer that looks straight forward never materialises

    3. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Probably not this week. Werner should be back at centre forward against Soton. Kane is not injury prone.

      1. Feed tha Sheep
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Do you mean..Kane is injury prone?

        1. Paul Psychic Octopus
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          TBH not sure what I was saying, but yes, probably!

  7. The Colonel
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    WC Team. Thoughts?

    Guita 4.0

    TAA, Chilwell, Ayling, KWP, Mitchell

    Salah, Son, Pulisic, Jrod, Bissouma

    Kane, DCL, Brewster

    Don't fancy City without KDB and no striker.

    1. Fit_to_drop
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Maybe you dont fancy City and I get that but you might need to be able to trade up to Sterling or KDB if you needed to so having something around the 11 mark in midfield would help that. As it is you have no easy way to bridge that move without at least 2 other players. But you probably know that.

  8. FER FUSCH AKE
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Kdb to Grealish and Jimmy to Aguero next week.

  9. Fit_to_drop
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    2. Martinez
    Saiss Castagne* Chilwell

    DCL Kane Watkins

    Forster Bissouma* Mitchell Kilman

    1. FC Hakkebøf

      1 but with Salah instead of Sterling

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      yes

    2. Joey Tribbiani
      • 3 Years

      yes hit

  12. yanky
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    is sterling playing? kdb > sterling for 4pt hit ir just play lamptey for free? not sure he is even fit!

    1. Joey Tribbiani
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      yes hit

  13. FC Hakkebøf
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Fill out the gaps

    Martinez
    TAA *** ***
    Salah Son Pulisic ***
    Kane DCL ***
    _____
    4.0 Lamptey Stephens 3.9

    A) Maupay, Grealish, Chilwell and Saiss
    B) Watkins, Trossard, Robertson and Saiss
    C) Watkins, Grealish, Chilwell and Semedo

    1. Sean
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I have A

    2. Dexters Laboratory
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      A) Not 100% convinced of an Aston Villa double up. Also feel Maupay & Saiss will outscore Semendo & Watkins

    3. MmmmmmmM
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      A

    4. Fit_to_drop
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      C from me. Most definitely.

    5. Fit_to_drop
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I know others are reluctant about the Villa double up but they have strengthened defence, added quality to midfield, their injured players are back, have started the season really well and they have a great run of fixtures.

  14. Dexters Laboratory
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    A) KDB - Pulisc/Grealish
    B) KDB & Brewster - Kane & Bisso
    C) KDB & Jiminez - Pulisc/Grealish & Kane

  15. Holmes
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    one more international break on the way...

  16. The Mighty Hippo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    How does my wildcard team look?

    Martinez
    Chilwell Semedo Reguilon
    Salah Son Pulisic Grealish Rodriguez
    Kane DCL

    Steer Brewster Dallas Mitchell

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      TAA haul incoming

      1. The Mighty Hippo
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        That may be the case, but you can't have them all and I didn't like the compromises I had to make to fit him in.

  17. Gazza2000
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Would you get Son in for KDB if you have Kane in your team or would you rather get Pulisic in?

    1. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Son to outscore Puli the next 4
      do the switch then

      1. Gazza2000
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        thanks

    2. Dexters Laboratory
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Son, could be a season keeper at that price

      1. Gazza2000
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        cheers

  18. thehodge
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I’m not a fan of - 8

    But.. Klich and KDB to Son and Pulisic is really tempting me now

    1. Joey Tribbiani
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      yes

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Go for it. Live a little

    3. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Just do KDB to one of them surely?

    4. Dexters Laboratory
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      KDB - Son

  19. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Grealish Pulsic Havertz or Bale for a hit?

    1. Joey Tribbiani
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      any

    2. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I am going Pulisic if that helps

  20. Andre W
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Was thinking Mahrez to Son but gotta get KDB out now right?

  21. stu92
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    McCarthy
    TAA - Robbo - Doherty
    KDB* - Bruno - Jhames - Pereira - Soucek
    Jimenez - DCL
    (4.0 - Holding - Johnson - Davis)

    1. KDB replacement (going to assume next 2/3 weeks for a minimum)
    a) Salah
    b) Son
    c) someone else

    2. Doherty replacement
    a) Semedo
    b) Castagne
    c) someone else

    3. What to do this week?
    a) KDB replacement
    b) Doherty replacement
    c) both for a -4

  22. FabzGuitar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    With KDB out who’s the best pick in SSFF until next week when City play

    1) Rodriguez
    2) VVD
    3) Robbo
    4) TAA
    5) Someone else

  23. Miguel Sanchez
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Head says KDB to Salah, heart says KDB to Pulisic....

    1. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I say KDB to Grealish

  24. Dybala10
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    After being hurt selling Son when he was 'injured', there is that stubborn part which wants to go for someone different to replace KDB.

    Are Mane/Sterling even fit?

    1. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Mane is, not sure on Raz, but I think KDB's absence makes Raz less appealing anyway

  25. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    0.1 profit on Son early transfer more than made up for the -4 to remove KDB 🙂

  26. The Mighty Whites
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Hit to do -4 Grealish in for KDB or play C Taylor?

    1. Joey Tribbiani
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      yes hit

    2. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      depends if you want grealish long term
      i say just play taylor

  27. Carefree Crew
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Chelsea: Chilwell, Pulisic fit. Mendy & Silva OUT. Ziyech fit, but not to start. Previously Lamps has mentioned managing Pulisic/ Azpi minutes turning from injury so I doubt Pulisic plays 90mins.

  28. I Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    In light of Leicester's injury problems, would you start Justin or Lamptey?

    1. drilsby
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I'd like to know the hivemind opinion on Justin in general. Don't know what to make of him

  29. MmmmmmmM
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Pick one:

    A) KDB > Mane (no hits)

    B) KDB > Mane and Ings > Kane. (-4)

    1. Joey Tribbiani
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      hit

    2. MmmmmmmM
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Sorry, B should be KDB > Grealish and Ings > Kane. (-4)

  30. Urchin

    KDB out for next few games
    Breaking news!!!
