Fantasy Premier League: 7 Players To Get In Your Team After International Break

4. Michail Antonio

The flying West Ham United winger has experienced a disappointing start to the season, registering only one assist and no goals to mirror the struggles of his London employers.

However, Antonio has accumulated over 120 points in each of the last two Fantasy Premier League seasons, which explains why he is worth more than the likes of Juan Mata and Cesc Fabregas. He is a proven performer and yet only 0.3% of managers have shown faith in him to reproduce those numbers, which presents shrewd bosses with a window of opportunity.

It is only a matter of time before the powerful 27-year-old rediscovers the form which saw him score nine times and claim eight assists in the league last term, and it would be little surprise if that coincided with West Ham’s friendly run of post-international fixtures.

The Hammers return to action against Burnley, who have started the season very well but lost twice to Slaven Bilic’s team last season. They then host Brighton at the London Stadium before a derby with a Crystal Palace side that has leaked 17 goals in seven games.
