11 Fantasy Premier League Players You Must Steer Clear Of

When Yaya Toure bagged two goals against West Brom on Man City’s opening game of last season, everybody felt that it was going to be not just a big season for the Ivorian but for the club in general.

With problems mounting at Stamford Bridge, there was a suspicion that Toure and co. would have a hunger to wrestle back a title they had meekly surrendered the previous season. What transpired was an embarrassment, in that the Blues fell off the wagon into mid-table but City failed to capitalise and finished 15 points behind Leicester in fourth. Toure was once again sub-par.

However, the Ivorian’s statistics were still of a decent level. While he was neck-in-neck with Danny Drinkwater (129), his tally still landed him in the top tier of midfielders and reflected why a large of percentage of junior tacticians chose him. Stay away from him this year though.

Guardiola and Toure have, in the past, enjoyed a tumultuous relationship at best and everything signals to the Ivorian seeing a decreased volume of game-time this season.
