Monitor – Gylfi Sigurdsson

A pair of assists and two bonus points in Swansea’s home draw with Newcastle elevated Gylfi Sigurdsson to the top of the midfield standings in the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game at the end of Gameweek 7. With 46 points accrued, the Icelandic international is second only to Diego Costa overall and, having started the season at just 6.0, he’s now climbed in cost to 6.8 – his rise in price of 0.8 is greater than any other player so far.

Averaging 6.6 points per appearance under Garry Monk, Sigurdsson has been snapped up by over 44% of FPL managers as he seamlessly settles back into life at the Liberty. Indeed, Sigurdsson’s Fantasy exploits have so far exceeded his displays from 2011/2, where, under the guidance of Brendan Rodgers, he served up seven goals, five assists and 11 bonus points in 18 appearances – averaging 5.7 points per match.

As the transfers in continue to pick up pace over the international break, we compare his displays over the two periods to assess his impact since returning to Wales.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Hoping everyone who uses Welbeck's goal scoring for England as a reason to pick him up are also kind enough to pick up Andros Townsend.

        Don't hate him or anything but he hasn't done much really in the PL and most of the positive commentary revolves around his hat trick for England. He scored again for country today so more of the same expected to come. Last year I think Andros played for Spurs in part because he was perceived to be better than he is because he had some good performances for England.

            He meant in the UCL.

            And I tend to agree with you to be honest. I'd only get him to cover the points AND the price rise.
