Fantasy Football Tips: 9 Essential Transfers You Must Make In Gameweek 30

8. Yaya Touré

Team: Manchester City (vs Hull City, away) Position: Midfielder Value: £9.9m Selected by: 40.3% Total score: 159

"Put Yaya Touré in any team and that team automatically become title contenders."

Don't expect to get top points consistently if you do not have Yaya Touré in your team. Normally, this would be something obvious that players should be smart enough to realise themselves, but looking at his history stats, I realised many of ya'll are shooting yourself in the foot with your selection 'strategies'. Before Gameweek 14, 7725 players decided to ship him out. He scored 15 points that week. And what makes it more puzzling is that he scored 12 points in total during Gameweeks 12 and 13. Before Gameweek 22, 88807 people decided to axe him from their teams. He scored 13 points that week. And once again what makes it more baffling is that he scored 10 points in his past 2 matches before the week in mention. And in the recent Gameweek 27 (City has 3 games on hand), 6218 players decided to drop him. He scored 11 points that week. As usual, he picked up decent points before the clash that week. So, be patient with Toure. He is easily one of the best midfielders in the current generation, and his increase in value from £8.5m at the start of the season to the current £9.9m, along with his selection rate simply shows that Toure will deliver the goods, if you would just give him time to do his thing. After losing 4-1 on aggregate to Barcelona, they'll be able to focus on mounting a push for the title. They trail Chelsea by 9 points, but with 3 games in hand. Looking to increase their already vast goal difference, you can bet on The Citizens to score a huge amount of goals in the coming matches, and dare I say the player in the engine room, a certain Yaya Touré, will play a part in almost all of them. Ka-ching. Don't be rash and transfer him out just because he obtained basic points for a week or two. Have a little patience, because after all, good things happen to those who wait.
