Fantasy Football Tips: XI Nobody Wanted In Pre-Season (But We All Do Now)

Striker - Olivier Giroud (Arsenal)

Position: Forward Current Value: £9.4m Current Points: 43 Having only scored eleven Premier League goals in his debut season for Arsenal, few Fantasy League players were prepared to waste £8.5m (his starting value) on the French striker at the beginning of the season. However, having scored four goals in the first six games - of which he has missed only 18 minutes against Fulham - he is one of the most transferred players in the Fantasy League game and the Premier League's joint second highest scorer. He has also provided two assists for goals, adding to his points tally, which means he is currently only two points behind Daniel Sturridge, and in second place, in the striker rankings for Fantasy Football. So there you have it; Eleven players nobody wanted in their Fantasy Football teams prior to this season, but who everyone wants now. Which other players fall in to this category, given their performances so far this season? Let us know in the comment section below. And please feel free to follow me on Twitter!
