Which Sky Sports Fantasy Football assets will score the most points over Christmas?

Who are the top Sky Sports Fantasy Football point scorers as we head into Christmas? Have any of these players been mainstays in your Fantasy XI?

Fantasy Football points have been in abundance during 2020/21, and while there have been some bargain buys who have paved their way in the early stages, who exactly are the big hitters thus far and why are they bringing in the points?

Harry Kane – 131 points

Who else? Nine goals, 10 assists, just 14 matches. Staggeringly, only 62.8 per cent of the top 1,000 Fantasy Football players have Harry Kane in their side. 

After the opening day defeat at Everton, he did not dip below the seven-point mark in eight consecutive matches, in which time he racked up 19 points against Southampton and 21 points against both Manchester United and West Ham.

Five Man of the Match awards this season is little surprise considering the way Kane has been playing, but perhaps the 10 assists and the fact he is on course to break the record for the most in a season may well be. 

It is the way Kane is dropping deeper which is causing a heap of problems for defences, and creating an array of opportunities for his teammates, Son Heung-min in particular.

The fixtures do look generous coming out of Christmas too, with Tottenham facing Fulham, Leeds, Aston Villa and Sheffield United after Wolves this weekend. 

Would you back against the Englishman finishing at the top of the charts for the remainder of the campaign, and more importantly, would you dare not bring him into your side ahead of the Overhaul in February?

Mohamed Salah – 127 points

The Complete Guide to Scout’s tips and advice for FPL Gameweek 14 1

The Egyptian King continues to shine for Liverpool, with 13 goals in only 12 starts this season. 

Two of these came off the bench against Crystal Palace in their 7-0 victory at Selhurst Park, much to the frustration of those who changed captains at the last minute and to the relief of those who forgot to change before the deadline.

Salah has 60 Fantasy Football points from his last four matches, and this consistent haul of income could increase by some margin when you look at Liverpool’s next four. 

West Brom, Newcastle, Southampton and Burnley are all up next for Jurgen Klopp’s side, so if Salah is to continue at his current rate then you would be foolish not to keep/bring him in.

Again, only 72.3 per cent of the top 1,000 have been loyal to or recruited Salah, but despite the fact he is the most expensive player in the game, he is delivering as ever and you would expect that percentage to soar even higher in the coming weeks.

Jamie Vardy – 122 points

The defending Premier League Golden Boot winner is back at it for another season, with 11 goals to his name already. This included a hat-trick at the Etihad in Leicester’s 5-2 thumping of Manchester City, one of the six matches where Jamie Vardy has hit double-figure hauls for Fantasy Football points this term.

In just 49.4 per cent of the top 1,000 teams, Vardy has created six goals and earned four Man of the Match awards, proving how much more he brings to Leicester and their results than just the goals he scores. 

It has fired Brendan Rodgers’ side to second in the table, just four points off champions Liverpool, so expect Vardy’s tally for the season to increase alongside Leicester’s continued consistent form.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin – 118 points

Calvert-Lewin offsets longest goalless streak with another Fantasy assist

Dominic Calvert-Lewin started the season in reliable form, firing home seven goals from his opening five, which included a hat-trick at home to West Brom in another 5-2 win we have seen this season. 

The striker earned an England call-up off the back of his early-season performances. 

Calvert-Lewin has continued to post respectable scores for Fantasy Football owners, and he has made an assist in each of his last three matches while scoring three in his last six to contribute to Everton’s top-four position. 

The England international can extend his total against Sheffield United on Boxing Day, with 26.4 per cent of the top 1,000 players hoping for a belated Christmas delivery. 

Much like his position in the Christmas charts, Calvert-Lewin is fourth in the value-for-money table with 12.69 points per million spent. He is a bargain buy as well as a big hitter, so who knows what 2021 may bring for DCL?

Bruno Fernandes – 117 points

Bruno Fernandes has been a revelation since joining Manchester United. Much debate was centred around who would lead the way in the midfield charts this campaign, and Fernandes is duly delivering so far, registering 38 more points than Kevin de Bruyne with his 117. 

He is, in fact, the only player from the top five who is not a forward, highlighting the hauls he has been recording.

Nine goals and five assists have helped the Portuguese international along his way of course, but it was his 19 points against Leeds (two goals, an assist and tier-one shot bonus points) which cemented his place in the top five ahead of Son.

Six double-figure hauls have rewarded an awful lot of Fantasy Football managers this season. No other player has more of a backing amongst the top 1,000 Sky Sports Fantasy Football managers than Fernandes. 

A whopping 97.9 per cent of those players are on board with Bruno, a testament to his performances and reinforcing the need to have him in your side at all costs.

From everyone at Sky Sports Fantasy Football, we wish you a very Merry Christmas. The games come thick and fast soon after, so make sure you are amending your sides and captaining your players in good time before the deadline!

    Who to bring in first, Dallas or Taylor? Ideally someone to cover the next 2-3 as probably won't have a defender transfer spare until after that.

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Dallas

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Dallas

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

      Taylor better fixtures before BGW18, but if there is risk only one is coming for GW19 then Dallas

      1. Do I Not Like Orange
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        They'll both be in for 19, even if I have to take a hit.

    4. Amey
      • 5 Years

      Taylor

  2. RamaJama

    Best mid for DGW 19 below 8.5?

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

      Struggling myself, Mount?

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Yes, maby A good one. Many, but noone sticks out, also Bowen, Soucek, Raphina, JWP

        1. Biggsy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Was thinking mid of Salah, Bruno, Mount, Raphina and Soucek.
          Saves me downgrading Vardy or Kane to fund others, but leaves a possible post-19 headache

    2. King Kohli
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Raphinha

    3. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Struggling with this one myself. Need a Grealish replacement for DGW (and poor villa fixtures coming up).
      Mount or JWP (or Walcott if starts a bit over next few) my current options. Doesn't feel convincing

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers, feel the same way

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

      Maybe get a cheap midfielder and double up in Robbo and TAA for the DGW

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks!

  3. Right In The Stanchion
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Would anyone dare captain Robbo?

    I’m seriously consider it, don’t own Salah or KDB.

    Thinking DCL as another option, I think he’s going to smash Ramsdale

  4. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Guys please help...have 2 free transfers and need to decide between these two

    A) Chillwell & DCL---> Robbo & Adams (get Kane for a hit next week)

    B) Chillwell----> Matip/Coufal (Get Kane for free next week)

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      B

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

    Repost: Hello folks, working towards FH18 and TC19, James & Chilwell injuries have thrown in a spanner to the plan, I will have these TC DGW19 team minimising transfers/hits with 1FT 0.9ITB and (*) SGW players. Any help appreciated:

    Johnstone (Martinez)
    Robertson Dallas Coufal (Taylor Mitchell)
    Salah (TC) Bruno Soucek Son* (Burke)
    Bamford Kane* DCL*

    A. Kane > Vardy
    B. DCL > Martial
    C. Something else

  6. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Help appreciated!

    Was planning on holding FT but defence in tatters:

    Zouma *Chilwell *Vestergaard Dier Lewis

    A) Chilwell > Matip
    B) Chilwell + Grealish > Robbo + Raphina for a hit

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

      I like B more

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers

  7. King Kohli
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Complete this defence for BB 19.

    xx xx Coufal Konsa Balbuena

    A. Robertson Matip
    B. Robertson Lindelof
    C. TAA T.Silva

    Will be transferring in one of these options,this gw and next.

  8. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Is Zouma worth 0.8 over Dier?

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      For sure...dier doesnt seem to have much goal threat and chelsea are better defensively

      Unless u are building for week 18 with FH in 19

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

      Yes

    3. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      The goal threat is real. He's scores almost 70% more points than Dier. Dier might have a slighty more CS potential but when you factor the attacking potential, it really is a no brainer.

      Having said that, I'd much rather have James (should he be fit)

  9. 03farmboy
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Dias or matip?

    1. jaywills
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Flip a coin.
      Id rather Matip but either could be benched

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

      Long term Dias, Matip is a filler for DGW19

  10. jaywills
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Currently have 1 fit defender, with nobody coming in off the bench. No FT.
    Playing WC in GW16 so can afford a one week punt

    A) No Changes 0 points
    B) Lamptey -> Coufal (-4)
    C) Lamptey + Chillwell -> Coufal + Matip (Insert any 2 defenders with a total value of 10.9m (-8)

    What would you do?

    Thanks!

    1. Jabba12
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Why don’t you WC this week?

      1. jaywills
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        I plan to next week, other players have favorable fixtures

        1. Jabba12
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Hits for defenders rarely work out, so probably do nothing, still think you’d be better off wildcarding this week. Who would you want to bring in on Wildcard next week?

  11. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Who’s the best transfer for lamptey with BB gw19 in mind?

    I already have Taylor,Dallas and cresswell

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

      SOU guys? Or Stones SGW

  12. JJeyy
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Thoughts on getting Emerson, and benching Chilwell? I could get dallas instead but Leeds defence is so bad and want some chelsea coverage

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Shocking idea, what about Alonso

      1. JJeyy
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Alonso will never play again in the league

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

    Take lamptey(4.6) out for?? Or play with no bench? 1FT 0.3itb, FH/tc 19

    Martinez
    Kwp Balbuena c.taylor
    Salah(c) kdb Bruno son soucek
    Kane bamford

    Forster davis Mitchell lamptey*

    1. The Train Driver
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Played with no bench last week, ended up with a total of 0 in my defence (except GK)

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

        Ouch, lamptey to Dallas then?

        1. The Train Driver
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Your defence is better than mine so I'm not so sure. I just did Lamptey to Dier but my alternatives were play Mitchell or Lewis.

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

            0.1 short for dier sadly otherwise might’ve gone for him

  14. Jabba12
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    A) Decordova, Robbo
    B) DCL, Dier

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      B but I like Bobby Reid as a differential especially if Cavaliero is out

  15. sergioaguero67
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Vestergaard injured?
    Any news on the severity?

  16. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    On WC & my heads all over the place 😆

    Current draft with MITB for DCL >> Kane next GW. What you reckon?

    McCarthy
    Robbo, Zouma, Dias
    Salah, Bruno, Grealish, Raphinha
    DCL, Bamford, Adams
    (Johnstone, Soucek, Coufal, Taylor)

    1. Right In The Stanchion
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      BB 19 I’m guessing. Looks like my current team.

      Are you FH18?

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        BB19 yeah. Possibly FH18 not sure yet as the fixtures look crap.

    2. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Grealish? Crap fixtures and no double....

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Can’t find someone I like around that price. Any ideas??

  17. R.C
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    James is confirmed out for 2 weeks then?

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

      Have no idea, please tell me the latest

  18. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    The problem with working up a team for BB 19 is issues like vestegaard Chillwell Reece james coming up between then and now. Could easily make the trandfers u make leading up to week 19 a waste

    Still reckon if youre Using FH in 18 and dont have the 1st WC...best option is either 2nd WC in 17 or just TC in 19

    1. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      For that reason, yhere's an argument for buliding team towards BGW18 using FTs, then FH in DGW19, although it can be argued you wont maximize DGW19 in isolation then

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Yup kots of ways of going about it which is what makea it intwrestinf

    2. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I'm not using any chips in GW19 as it stands. I might 8/9 DGWers along with Kane and Son.

      Most people using up 2/3 of their 4 chips (countinh WC as one) will have to navigate potentially 2 BGWs and 2DGW with very little chips. FIxtures in these 2 weesk aren't great and coming so soon after the festive season, there might be a lot of injury worries and rotation as well.

      If I could save the FH as well, I would but I simply can't put out a team in both weeks which I would be happy about without FHing. So, I'm using that.

  19. Lucas8406
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Wilson to Adams or Bamford?

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Bam

  20. iL PiStOlErO
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    My plan is wc16, fh18, bb19....

    How is this looking for WC in GW16? This way will have 11dgw players and still keep big guns...

    McCarthy Meslier
    Dias Justin Dallas Taylor Coufal
    Salah Bruno Son Soucek Romeu
    Kane DCL Bamford

  21. Peter Ouch
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Should I do it for a hit?

    Wilson and Konsa out
    TAA and Davis in

    Switch to 442

    I think taa will outscore konsa and Wilson in the next 3

  22. WE GO FOR IT
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Frank Lampard reports Ben Chilwell and Reece James are both doubtful for the next two games. (Official Twitter Account)

    Unless you have a lot of value attached to Chilwell, I'd sell him. James, I would sell regardless as I doubt he's risen that much.

    Could iss GW15 and 16. City in GW17 and blank in GW18. You'd need a very strong bench to navigate 3/4 GWs without your no1 or no2 defender.

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      They can lose huge chunk of value next two or three games, get rid while you can still reap a profit?

      1. WE GO FOR IT
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah. I got James for Chilwell last week. Removing James this week.

    2. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Even if u got Chillwell at 5.5 id sell him

      Hes going to drop even more and will probably be rotated when he returns anyway until he is fully fit

      1. WE GO FOR IT
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah, true actually! He might be aorunf 5.8/5.9 when he gets fit. So, I'd sell him regardless.

    3. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Already sold Chilwell. The problem is that those two extra transfers were not part of dgw19 plan, so suddenly to many transfers needed. Therefore Im looking at striking a balance with bgw18/dgw19 players, and using TC fof Salah in dgw19, saving FH and BB for later BGW/DGW. Will require

      1. Pompel
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        .. wil require perhaps a couple of hits, and also Ferdinand-Salah hokey cokey

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

        I think this is wise. I like TC Salah in 19 with no chip use in 18 as a strat if you can't afford to get a BB19 team together.

        1. WE GO FOR IT
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          You'd most certainly have to Salah or Bruno or maybe both to get a decent team covering KdB, Kane, Son, Grealish and doubles for GW18. Just not worth it imo.

          1. Pompel
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Have to go either without, or do the hokey cokey with KDB

            1. WE GO FOR IT
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              Just don't like the hokey cokey.

        2. Pompel
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          I can also follow the popular fh18/dgw19 strategy, but then Chilly and James got injured , and dont like spending both chips already.

    Is Reguilón worth paying .7 m over Dier?

      No

    Anyone considering not playing Any chips in gw18-19? I can field 8-9 in bgw18 and have the most important dgw players for 19 as well. Don't feel like ripping up my team and losing value on players like KDB, Son, Grealish and DCL

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      What’s the point in that? What on earth would you be saving them for then... this is the biggest DGW of the season

      1. Pompel
        • 10 Years

        Im considering the same. Main point is, at least if first 1st wc spent, that dgw can be better planned with wc25/bb26 and then use fh for gw29. Also, a lot can happen that topples the best laid dgw19 plans - e.g. in my case James and Chilwell injuries

      More bgw and dgw's to come

      No, we've got a juicy DGW and I intend to attack it.

      Ive decided to scarifice my Team vakue and lose them (son probably stays). Current TV is over 106 so still lookingat over 104 after all is said and done

    5. FC Hakkebøf

      Godt Fernandes, Salah, Bambord, Matip, Dallas, Balbuena for the dgw. Who will you have that can hurt me badly?

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Robbo/ 2 keepers playing twice/ zouma/adams/vardy

      2. WE GO FOR IT
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Vardy, Trent/Robbo and Chilwell/James.
        Kane in GW18

        Form dependent but I will be keeping Son, Grealish, DCL and Kane. Not sure what chips I will be using yet, possibly TC in 19

        1. WE GO FOR IT
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          No Salah or Bruno?

          1. Kindness
              3 years, 3 months ago

              Yeah I have them as well. Pretty happy with my team

        2. WE GO FOR IT
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          If you keep them, how does Kane, Salah and Bruno fit in? Surely, you'd want them as well!

        Thoughts on this GW19BB(-4)

        Martinez • Johnstone
        Robertson • James • Dallas • Coufal • KWP
        Salah • Bruno • Son • Grealish • Raphinha
        DCL • Bamford • Adams

        I could get Vardy and Walcott over Son and Adams for an additional hit. Should I? Is this team worth the BB too?

          I'm looking at something similar, don't love Spurs' fixtures after 19 much bar a couple so I think I could take to lose him until maybe gw26 or so depending on circumstances if it meant getting Vardy in (and like you I can do it in 2 moves currently although that naturally is likely to change)

        Current front 7
        Kdb Salah Bruno Son
        Dcl Watkins Bamford

        Is it worth doing
        - Kdb/Watkins >> Grealish/Kane in gw16
        - Salah >> Kdb in bgw18
        - Grealish/Kane >> Salah/Adams in dgw19

        Or Ignore Kane. stick to what I have and just do Watkins > Adams in gw19 to get the same result

        My Team Value is going to take a huge hit over the next 3 or so weeks

        Losing Chillwell, KDB, DCL, Grealish to maximise the chips/DGWs
