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.

      Hard to ignore Grealish right now.

      I would wait as too early to tell. I'd want to see more minutes/data on them. If you really want to choose now, I would go C.

    Salah Son KDB ASM
    DCL Werner Mitro

    Bench: Nyland, Mitchell, Taylor, Soucek
    Have 2FT

    Was thinking I could do KDB+Werner > Kane + Rodriguez. Worth it?

    Fulham are not looking good but they have okay fixtures and feel Mitro may get pts, but would probably be happier with Wilson, Watkins or Maupay!

    Who would you bench this week?

    A) Jorginho (SOU)

    1. themaindanger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      J Rod a doubt to start as has only just flown back from S. America.

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

        Thanks. I remember Carlo saying that before the break. Did he mention anything in his presser today?

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

      A could find himself benched by Lampard

  6. FPL Blow-In

    Is Aguero fit to play?

    1. OneDennisBergkamp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      yeh

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

        No.

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

          Yes

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

      Pep was typically coy about this

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

    Chilwell or Lamptey to save ££?

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

    why is Semedo such a popular pick?

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

      Doherty 2.0

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

        Don't think so, different kind of player.

    2. The Road to Turfdom
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      ex-Barcelona bias

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

      Because he is one of the most attacking defenders.

    4. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He's quite good

  9. Von Lipwig
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    What can people tell me about Kilman @ 4.0m? I guess he's too good to be true. Won't play much?

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

      Won't start but NES has shown he is happy to use him if he has to. Worth owning until the next playing 4.0 comes along as Mitchell may depart the scene if PVA comes back in.

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

        thanks so much

    KDB, Mahrez and Podence to Son, Pulisic and Grealish?

    Son will be the captain as well!

    1. Bushwhacker

      3 years, 5 months ago

      It's a solid transfer . . but for -8 . . .eeesh.

    Steer Lamptey Costa Mitchell

    1. Fit_to_drop

    Throw stones at this WC

    Martinez
    Saiss Robbo Chilwell

    1. ArseneAllTheWay
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      triple villa too much imo, form won't last

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

        Cheers. Was debating Wilson/Antonio. May pull that trigger before 11am so.

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

      Grealish + watkins double up? Maupay/Wilson instead. Good wildcard either way though

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

        Thanks. I've changed it now. Didnt actually realise i had Triple Villa effectively with GK. So will go Maupay/Wilson.

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

      Watkins to Maupay, then downgrade to Antonio GW8.

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

    Will Boris Johnson still be UK Prime Minister this time next year?

    A) Yes
    B) No

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

      No. But the damage will be done.

  17. ArseneAllTheWay
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    WC or just KDB --> Son?

    McCarthy (Steer)
    TAA, Coady, Justin (Mitchell, Taylor)
    Salah, Kdb*, Rodriguez, Soucek (Reed)
    DCL, Jimi, Wilson

    (2.9itb)

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

      I wouldn't WC it. Especially with your money in the bank which could bring Jimi upto Kane.

  18. grennans2
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Better defence of the below?

    A)

    Ryan
    Chilwell - Dallas - KWP - (Targett) - (Brantwaite)

    B)

    Martinez
    Chilwell - Lamptey - KWP - (Mitchell) - (Brantwaite)

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

      Depends how risky you wanna play it. B will only have 3 playing defenders very soon

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

      KWP is a card magnet

  19. kobewan
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    3rd FW, Wilson or Maupay?

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

      Maupay

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

      Wilson.

  20. Will J 256
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Hi guys. Sorry to ask this again. Is this a viable -8?

    KDB, Mahrez and Podence to Son, Pulisic and Grealish?

    Son will be the captain as well!

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

      No

      1. Will J 256
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Why not if you don’t mind me asking?

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

          Keep Mahrez and just take the -4

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

          KDB is the only one worth transfering out if ypu have to get Son. The others you want are meh. Grealish will have a tough GW and Pulisic may not even start

  21. Netters2018
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone know whats up with oliver burke? Likely to play? Didnt see much info from wilder press conference?

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

      He was always a bad pick.

  22. The Wogmeister
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Keep Willian or Grealish for a -4?

  23. Garlana
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Sound moves?

    Brewster -> Kane
    KDB - > 4.5
    0.9 itb

    Then Sterling to Salah next week.

    This weeks team would look like this:

    Martinez
    James, Saiss, Robbo
    Sterling, Foden, Jrod, Son
    Kane, Jimi, DCL

    Lamptey, Mitchell, 4.5m

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

      or KDB to Salah now and downgrade Foden for the funds if you need them

  24. as33
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Semedo or Lamptey?

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

      A will bring more points. B if you need money elsewhere.

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

        I don't think we've seen anything of Semedo to think he'll bring in more points. Lamptey has been a threat week in week out.

  25. FPL Blow-In
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Rank 4.7m

    This is me -4. Surely up is the only way now right?

    Martinez
    TAA, Robertson, Castagne
    Salah, Son, Barnes, Trossard, Pereira
    Kane(c), Dcl

    Forster, Brewster, Amartey, Ferguson. 5itb

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

      Team looks fine. Id persist with it.

  26. ArseneAllTheWay
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    A) Keep
    B) WC team (below)

    McCarthy (Steer)
    TAA, Coady, Justin (Mitchell, Taylor)
    Salah, Kdb*, Rodriguez, Soucek (Reed)
    DCL, Jimi, Wilson
    (2.9itb)

    WC

    Martinez (Steer)
    Robbo, Chilwell, Lamptey (Dallas, Taylor)
    Salah, Pulisic, Rodriguez, Son, Grealish
    DCL, Ings (Brewster)
    0.4(itb)

  27. jb1985
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    From Pep comments seems possible KDB could be out for 2 gw but hopefully only the 1. Is it worth doing kdb for -4 for Mane or Sterling with next 2 gw in mind.

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

      Yes

  28. Will J 256
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Play Podence or Brewster?

  29. Kuyt Hero
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Chilwell or Semedo?

  30. Hoblito
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Son and Maupay or Trossard and Kane? What do you think?
