FPL: Great value options in each position to save your season

The Premier League is reaching the final ten Gameweeks of the season, and there are a lot of points to be won for those teams who are trying to earn a spot in European competitions next season, but also for those who are trying to avoid relegation. Manchester City look like the clear favourite to win the league, being  14 points clear of Manchester United at the top, while the likes of Fulham, Newcastle United and Brighton are involved in a tight relegation battle.

Similar to the Premier League teams, there are a lot of points to be won for Fantasy Premier League managers as well, who have had tough times this season with tight schedules, postponed matches and many injuries from key players which probably disrupted their strategy. 

Through this data analysis from data collected from the official Fantasy Premier League site, we will take a look into the players who marked this season so far. This analysis will show us whether there was any “Lord Lundstram” this season and which players underperformed. We will as well highlight players who could be differentials for the rest of the season. 

Overview and dream team

In this section, we will first take a look at the current dream team of the league to evaluate their performances so far this season. 

Aaron Cresswell  West Ham left-back revived his fantasy value after a disastrous last season where he had 79 points in 2727 minutes. This season he already has 133 points in 2430 and he played all minutes for West Ham so far. Cresswell assisted 10 times and was part of clean sheet performance 10 times as well which is extraordinary output for Hammers defender. He has the highest value amongst defenders, value represents the number of total points divided by price.  

Rúben Dias  most of the FPL managers know the struggle with Pep rotations each season, but Dias somehow managed to be one of the most reliable assets, because he only missed one match in Premier League so far which is the reason why he is in the dream team. Dias is part of the best defence in the league, he collected 14 clean sheets and 12 bonus points while managing to score and assist once. If you are looking for an outfield player that has the biggest chance to play in Manchester City starting XI then Dias is probably the best option.
