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

Midfielder - Ross Barkley (Everton)

Position: Midfielder Current Value: £5.3m Current Points: 34 Few people doubted Ross Barkley's ability prior to this season, but no one could have guessed he would burst on to the Premier League scene so emphatically and emerge as Everton's stand-out player so soon in to it. The young midfielder has bagged himself two goals, provided two assists and has been the best player in an Everton team who lie in fourth position and are the only side in the Premier League who remain unbeaten. He has grabbed the opportunity afforded to him by new boss Roberto Martinez with both hands. Barkley is the fourth highest scoring Fantasy League midfielder and his performances have earned him his first England cap.
