Fantasy Football Tips - 5 Expensive Flops You Should Always Avoid

2. Samuel Eto'o

Team: Chelsea Value: £8.9 million Total Points: 7 Samuel Eto'o arrived at Chelsea this summer on a free after being allowed to leave for nothing by beleaguered Russian club Anzhi. And though his poor performances so far this season won't hit the Blues in the pocket, the same can't be said of those who pay £8.9 million for his services in Fantasy Football. Eto'o has done nothing since arriving. He missed an open goal against Everton, played only an hour against Fulham and was dropped entirely against Tottenham. That leaves him with a meagre seven points from the last three gameweeks, and yet to open his account for his new club. Maybe it's too soon to judge Eto'o after just three weeks, but so far, he's done very little to dissuade those holding the opinion that the veteran's best years are firmly behind him.
