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.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        He may just miss this weekend and Porto for all we know. Reluctant to take another hit this week, would like to assess Son, Pulisic this weekend and make the choice after

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

          Those are 3 poor choices...Justin I think, or a wild gamble on Brewster

      How:

      (1) Adrian is worth two Howlers per game
      (2) Salah Brace
      (3) DCL and James romp on VVD

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

        You spelled Pickford wrong

  6. King of Kings.
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I've been knee jerking all over the place this game week. Already brought in Son for Bruno and now Salah for KDB.

    Very tempted to go again with either Ings or Jimi to Kane?

    I actually like Kane better than Son for the next 4/5 game weeks.

    Someone tell me I'm being daft? Surely -8 in one GW is far too much!

    1. Scheister
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      WC?

      1. King of Kings.
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I'm holding onto my WC for dear life. Been so tempted but I think it will be best kept for Nov/Dec time.

    2. SharkyT
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yeh too much. Hold

      1. King of Kings.
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Thank you kind sir. I think I just needed to hear this.

        I like Kane as a captain pick this week which is how I was going to justify it.

    3. Pino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      If you are planning to do those moves anyway then -8 is not to much. The opposite what can happen is that you keep chasing the team you want but not getting it because you play safe.

    4. F_Ivanovic
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      i have ings and zero intention to switch for Kane for just a -4.

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

    Havertz in rather than Pulisic this week? Why not?

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      just make a decision already

    2. CheesyZoot
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      No reason not to - he looked sharp on int. duty this week

  8. SharkyT
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Have just done KdB>Son.

    Jimmy>Kane and then captain for a hit?

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

      Not for a hit, think Jimmy can do well against Leeds

  9. Rhodes your boat
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Am I crazy for considering kdb to bale -4? Feel like the sensible moves are backfiring this year!

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

      with you there...

      1. Liberate HK - antichinazi
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        That's why I KDB-->Puli instead of to Son. I think WHU is strong this year

  10. Don Kloppeone
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    3rd time lucky! Two questions for you this Friday afternoon...

    Bench order?

    A) Bissouma (cry)
    B) Dallas (WOL)
    C) Mitchell (BHA)

    Which to pick on my WC now that Pulisic definitely plays and Ancelotti hinted at Rodriguez maybe not playing full match (see Tweets)?
    1) Pulisic
    2) Rodriguez

    GL all!

    1. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      CBA
      1

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks mate!

  11. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    KDB to Sterling or Bale for -4?

    1. Camino Aleatorio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Not Bale. FFS

      I would rather stick with KDB vs Bale.

      Not that Bale is bad, you just don't know anything about Bale-2020 as a Tottenham player

    2. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Tempted by bale myself the way this season is going

  12. Boz
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    WC time:

    Martinez (4.0)
    Robbo, Semedo, Dallas, CTaylor, Mitchell
    Salah, Son, Pulisic, Grealish, (Bissouma)
    Kane, DCL, Maupay

    0.1itb

  13. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Ohh so touch. KDB->
    Have been burned by Sterling, but other options not that glamourous. Pulisic just back from injury, Bruno and ManU not much form, Rodrigues playing Liverpool (maybe not a bad thing?), Grealish looks good but not a heavy hitter (ohh wait, he just got 24 points!)

    1. Traction Engine Foot
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I just got Grealish in

  14. FPL Theorist
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Where is this "Pulisic not ready to start" idea coming from?

    He made his cameo before the IB and has had 2 weeks to build up fitness.

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Lampard literally said, "fit to play". So listen to rumours.

  15. Botman and Robben

    Score predictions for Everton - Liverpool tomorrow? 1 - 2?

    5. Kudo Warrior
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Thoughts on Bale starting this weekend?

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Off the bench IMO.

    6. Maddamotha
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      People getting rid of KDB now that it's confirmed he's not fit for the weekend?

      1. Traction Engine Foot
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yes

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

      am i right to think KDB price wont drop bc hes flagged? probably will hold if he is protected but may sell for a hit if he can drop

      1. teneighty
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Price is only protected when a flag is removed.

      2. schlupptheweek
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I thought while players are injured they can drop e.g. Pulisic but after the yellow or red flag is removed a players price cannot rise for 8-10 days e.g. Son

      3. FPL Theorist
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        He can drop. Won't be as quick as if not flagged, but should drop eventually.

    8. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Is KdB > Pulisic -4 the move?

      Very tempting.

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I am getting Pulisic over Son on WC. He should do really well and is under priced IMO.

      2. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Between him and Grealish. Already have Son and Salah. Can't get in Mane as I have Robbo and TAA.

      3. schlupptheweek
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I think KDB is only missing 1 GW and might even play because I don't think it's serious. Either Pep is trolling or I'd imagine he will not be risked for both Arsenal/the CL fixture. If you don't have a player you want to play on the bench just do the move.

    9. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Interested to hear what Nuno has to say. Many of his players were with Ronaldo during the IB.

    10. Silecro
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Do i hold my WC a bit longer with this team?

      McCarthy*
      TAA/Taylor/Justin*/Mitchell*
      Salah/Son/Podence*
      Wilson/DCL/Werner

      Nyland/Bissouma/KDB*/Vinagre*

      Already did 3 transfers (-4) for Wilson, DCL and Son so its kind of a waste to play WC now,dunno

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Why is that a waste? Those -4 goes away if you activate your wildcard.

        1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          I would WC that

        2. Silecro
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          waste in a sense of a 2 free transfers

      2. AnfieldLad
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah I’d probably wildcard. I’d say being on -4 with KDB is a tough call but your defence swings towards WC for me

    11. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      5 must have players to own this gw?

      Double Chelsea and Spurs attack too much?

    12. CheesyZoot
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Reece James to start this week? Looked great on England duty (minus the red card)

      1. Kay317
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I think if Chilwell is out he'll defo start. 50/50. I'm banking on him starting.

    13. Kay317
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Has Fwank actually confirmed Pulisic will start this week? Seems to be alot of love for him on here.

      1. FPL Theorist
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        The most a manager will generally tell you is that the player is fit. Why would he want to play guys like Tammy/Giroud/CHO over Pulisic?

        1. Kay317
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          I guess. Although he only played 7mins last game. Hardly indication that he's ready to start a game.

          1. BurnMyBread
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            It's been two weeks since then.

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

      Ladies and gentlemen, and that is why you hold on to your free transfers during the international break.

      1. Rasping Drive
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        It is. Still haven’t got a scooby what to do with them, though

    15. Rinseboy
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Brewster or Pullisic -4? for this week?

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

      Bale over Son is just asking for trouble right?

      1. Puntillimon
        • 8 Years

    17. Castiel

      Is there a press conference round up stream this afternoon?

    18. ace3.1415
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Why is my team on the fpl website so wide? Is there a way to fix this?

      1. The Ilfordian
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Do you mean on a smart phone. My formatting went crazy last week. Found a green square in the bottom left hand corner that toggles between pc and phone format

    19. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      So what's new today in press conferences?
