Fantasy Premier League 2016 Tips: 10 Things To Consider From Week 1
3. Memphis Depay Is Worth The Wait
Don't be fooled by the players around you who are gloating about picking Mark Albrighton and are currently top of your mini-league, they will get their comeuppance. If you picked Memphis Depay then you're a good Fantasy Football player and you will be rewarded in due course. Memphis played just behind Wayne Rooney for the majority of Man United's fixture against Tottenham and occasionally switched with the England captain to takeover his role as solo striker. He looked strong, pacey and has a star-quality that will soon see him become a Premier League superstar. When he convinces Rooney that he should be taking all the free-kicks he'll soon grab his first goal and then we'll all be rolling around in bonus points as Albrighton fights for survival.
