Fantasy Premier League 2016 Tips: 10 Things To Consider From Week 1
6. Thibaut Courtois' Red Card Could Be A Blessing In Disguise
If many managers transfer out Thibaut Courtois this week after he received -2 points from Game Week One then he will be unlikely to return to their sides again. If you can have faith in the Belgian keeper and perhaps use your substitute shot-stopper until he serves his suspension you could find yourself with a trump card upon his return. Courtois offers a sturdy pair of hands for most (non-sending off game weeks) and is worth waiting for. Non-patient players could be wishing they hadn't transferred him for the big scoring Adrian after just one horror weekend.
