11 Players You Need In Your Fantasy Football Team Right Now

4. Jordan Henderson (£6m)

Liverpool€™s hugely successful 2013-14 was great entertainment, even if they couldn€™t quite manage to claim the Premier League title when it lay tantalisingly in their grasp. Luis Suárez deservedly grabbed the lion€™s share of the plaudits but many other Anfield regulars excelled: Daniel Sturridge was ruthless in front of goal; Philippe Coutinho was at the fulcrum of countless canny attacking moves; Raheem Sterling played with great energy and verve; and Steven Gerrard adapted effectively to a deep-lying role in order to stabilise the team€™s efforts. One player who arguably didn€™t get the credit he deserved was Jordan Henderson, but thankfully that€™s starting to change. Signed three years ago from Sunderland, Henderson was the focus of much ire and derision from Liverpool fans and beyond as he struggled to make an impact at his new team. Last season, everything seemed to click into place as he went about his business in an unfussy manner €“ and lest we forget, Henderson was missing for the key fixtures against Chelsea and Crystal Palace that ultimately cost Liverpool the title. Why You Should Sign Him Henderson€™s performances last year accumulated 124 points in total €“ an unspectacular figure, true, but the player was inexpensive compared to many midfielders more likely to score goals and grab headlines and he is going cheap again. You can sign him up for £6 million, safe in the knowledge that he€™ll play 90 minutes more often than not and weigh in with the odd goal and assist.
