11 Fantasy Premier League Players You Must Steer Clear Of

11. Kasper Schmeichel (Leicester City) - £5.0

Having emulated his father in lifting the Premier League title must have been a wondrous feeling for Kasper Schmeichel last season. And not only that, but to do it with little, unfancied Leicester.

Having spent his career bouncing around the lower leagues - does everyone remember that bizarre stint at Notts County? - his years of toil finally came to fruition in May when he received that cherished winners’ medal.

His performances were exemplary, shining for the Foxes and displaying cat-like reflexes that his father would have been proud of. His 147 points elevated him to third in the goalkeeping list, ahead of David De Gea, Hugo Lloris and Joe Hart.

However, like Leicester, the Dane would be hard-pressed to repeat the feat. With the added workload of a European adventure, how will Leicester’s thin squad cope?

While they are riding the crest of a wave, and are currently bouncing off their wonderful team spirit, the ball of twine has to unravel at some point. Priced at £5.0, there are other - superior - options.
