11 Players You Need In Your Fantasy Football Team Right Now

8. Eric Dier (£5.4m)

Tottenham may have shipped three goals in a disappointing performance against Liverpool last time out, but Mauricio Pochettino still looks well placed to build on his promising fledgling managerial career by getting the best out of Spurs. Prior to suffering a heavy defeat against a club that is fast-becoming a bogey team for the North London outfit, Spurs had played two and won two, scoring five goals and not conceding none. The player most responsible for their successes both at the back and the business end was, improbably, defender Eric Dier, and the 20-year-old looks to have a fine future ahead of him. Dier was born in England but his footballing apprenticeship took place at Sporting CP in Portugal after his family moved there ten years ago. He returned to his homeland in 2011 as part of a loan deal with Everton, but it was Tottenham who signed the defender in August this year and thus far the £4 million outlay represents excellent business. Why You Should Sign Him Dier achieved the rare feat of scoring in his first two Premier League games €“ an impressive accomplishment for any new player but in particular for a defender and a newcomer to top-tier football. He can play as a centre or right back and has accumulated an astonishing 30 points €“ more than any other player in Fantasy Football to date. At the minute, you can pick Dier up for £5.4m, but maybe not for much longer.
