Fantasy Football: 5 Essential Transfers For Week 3
5. Ross Barkley
Value: £4.8 Million Team: Everton Points In GW2: 2 Ross Barkley. Super cheap, super talented. The fact that the 19-year-old has just been called into the England squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Moldova and Ukraine tells you he's one to watch out for. Barkley enjoyed a terrific Gameweek 1 in Fantasy Football, netting 10 points after scoring a wonder-goal against Norwich and don't be fooled by his points tally from GW2, a relatively disappointing 2. Everton had a difficult game that day and very few players shined, but Barkley is definitely going places and is expected to form the spine of Everton's side and establish himself in the England set-up in years to come. And you may as well jump on board and follow his ride to stardom for just £4.8 million, making the midfielder one of the cheapest players in the game - for now. Next Game: Cardiff (A)
