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.

  3. antis0cial
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I really shouldn't have moved early on Son but hey ho, on a -8 already, so just hold KDB and play Brewster?

    Martinez
    TAA Digne Saiss
    Salah Son(cpt) Hamez Grealish
    DCL Watkins Brewster

    Peacock-Farrell KDB* Ayling Mitchell

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

      Similar to me (see below). Playing Mitchell.

  4. Bleh
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Guys, already taken a -8 so thinking of holding on to this for now. Thoughts?

    Martinez
    TAA - Lamptey - Chillwell - Mitchell
    Salah - Son - Trossard
    Wilson - Jimenez - DCL

    Subs: Steer, KDB*, KWP, Stephens
    0.3 ITB

    1. antis0cial
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Similar boat, I think I may just Keep KDB as bench should all play, then see how he is for next week

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

        Think I’ll do the same. Hopefully it’s not a serious one.

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

      Can't see what would be worth a -4. What were your transfers out of interest?

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

        Robbo, Klich, Ings > Chillwell, Son, Wilson.

        Looks a bit rash now in hindsight but didn’t want to double up on Pool def with Alisson out and really wanted Son.

    3. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Go with that team.

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

        Cheers

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

    TAA & Podence > Lamptey/Dallas & Son? If so, which defender?

    McCarthy
    TAA - Robbo - Justin
    Salah - Bruno - Foden - Podence - Soucek
    Kane - DCL
    [Adams - KWP - Ferguson]
    2 FT, £1.0 ITB

    1. Max City
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I have Lamptey, so it must be Dallas

  6. Klaren
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Did Wolves have their press conference yet? Do we know if Portuguese internationals will be available vs Leeds? (due to Ronaldo COVID situation)

  7. Qaiss
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Could be typical Guardiola vs Arteta mind games and Pep says “he had a late test yesterday and is suddenly fit to play”.

    If not, then without KDB, we could actually go there and win. They couldn’t beat us last time with him and an actual striker.

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

      I know he's a nightmare, but does Pep have form for actually ruling someone out the day before and then playing them?

      1. Qaiss
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Nah but considering their chances are much less without him, I actually wouldn’t be surprised if he played and it’s against Arteta as well. It’s written for us to actually have hope of winning at the Etihad and then getting thumped with a KDB haul.

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

          Can't see it, but still think City might turn you over. Sorry!

          1. Qaiss
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Like they did last time? We beat them 2-0.. I don’t understand how or why we will get turned over now if they’re without Kun, Jesus, KDB.

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

              I mean, I'm a neutral so I don't particularly care, but... They'd beaten you in the previous 7 (all comps)

              1. Qaiss
                • 8 Years
                3 years, 5 months ago

                Of course, but that was with KDB, Aguero, Jesus. Also Arteta won’t allow a thumping.

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

              The original thought is just based on expecting a reaction from City, not so much a comment on Arsenal

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

    Chances Pep is being his usual bold fraud and KDB plays this week, similarly to Son's "injury" last week?

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

      bald* even, not bold 😀

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

      I might be wrong but I'm not sure if Pep tends to lie about injuries. I think he just tends to keep it very ambigious re. availability and team selections usually.

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

        Exactly. He'd upset a lot of journos by lying outright the day before the game. Also Arteta is his good mate so not sure he'd stoop that low for the first time now

  9. You've got red on you.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    1) Play Bissouma

    2) Another -4 to do KDB ---> Sterling/Fernandes/Pulisic

    Have Lamptey, Mitchell and Dunne on bench

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

      In the same boat... One guy responded to me and said take the hit. So.. Take the extra hit for Sterling I would say.

  10. Tshelby
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    KdB -> Son no brainer?

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

      Yep imo

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

    Is Charlie Taylor nailed in that Burnley team?

    1. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yep.

  12. EgyptianKing
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Would you rather play every GW

    1) Chilwell Barkley

    2) Grealish + One from (Mitchell, Soucek or Brewster)

    Thanks!!

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

      Too early to tell with Barkley, so 2. But could be 1 easily in a week or two

      1. EgyptianKing
        • 5 Years

    1. Liberate HK - antichinazi

    2. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I started with him and sold pretty quickly. can't bring myself to get him back for a few weeks at least

      1. claretparrot
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years

        Me too. He was my punt pick then but don't feel the need to get burnt again!

    2. WALOR
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Yes, he is worth holding and Hamez should play so you're covered

    Current lineup:

    McCarthy
    TAA Robbo Doherty Justin

    Hold, or WC to something like this??

    Help with my Dilemma!

    I'm playing a 3-4-3
    A) Grealish and Antonio
    B) Pulisic and Watkins

  22. BarryManilows
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Doesn’t sound like pulisic will start does it according to franks presser?

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

      Why? If anything from what I've read, it sounds to me like he starts

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

    Somehow I didn't realise how different in price Rodriguez and Pulisic were!! Which option on WC?

    A) Chilwell, Semedo, Rodriguez
    B) Zouma, Saiss, Pulisic

    Martinez
    Robbo, XXXX, XXXX

    1. Top Lad Dakes.

      A

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

      I prefer Chilwell + Semedo over Zouma + Saiss, but Puli over James. Annoying! Can you do Puli + Chilwell + 4.5?

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

        I can do Puli + Chilwell + up to 4.8 def

        It just means no decent Wolves def...

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

      A all day

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

        What about:

        Chilwell, KWP, Pulisic?

        Wolves defensive stats are a lot worse than people think I’ve discovered!

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

    Why is my team on the fpl website so wide? How to fix this?

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

      If you go from 3-5-2 to 4-4-2 it helps to get rid of the width...

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

    KDB out means Foden is nailed in that City team right?

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

      yes

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

    Would you rather go with Kane or Sterling if you got no City cover and have Son?

    1. ajk1211
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Good question. I’m in the same boat and going for Sterling (I think!). Also a good placeholder for when KDB is back

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

    KDB to Havertz (-4) it is

    1. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      go with pulisic imo

    2. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      If Havertz blanks then you’re just going to want to get rid straight away..

  28. EgyptianKing
    • 5 Years

    RMWCT please!

    Martinez
    Robo TAA Lamptey

    Martinez (Button)
    Chilwell Semedo Mitchell (Targett, ********)
    Salah, Son, Grealish, Rodriquez (*******)
    DCL, Kane (***********)

    What option to complete the team?
    A - Lamptey, Puli, Brewster
    B - White, Zaha, Wilson (Palace have really interesting fixtures)

  30. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I panicked and made these moves:
    KDB+Bissouma to Son+Pulisic (for free)

    Probably should’ve just done Werner+KDB to Kane+Son
