Fantasy Premier League Tips: 5 Players To Sell Before Gameweek 3
2. Nicolas Anelka (West Brom)
It's been a rough week for Nicolas Anelka, with his long-time agent dying, and the player currently on compassionate leave. However, rumours are abound that he's on the verge of retiring from football, with manager Steve Clarke unable to convince the journeyman striker to stick it out at the Hawthorns. Whatever the story, he definitely won't be in action for a while, and he's losing value rapidly for the 10.8% of teams that signed the 34-year-old. The £5.4 million he cost should be enough to sign various cheap strikers, including Chamakh from Cardiff City.
