3 Hidden Gems for Fantasy Football
Part 1: Dusan Tadic
Is your fantasy team lagging behind your mates? Need some cheap players who will score you some well needed points? Have no fear us at The View From The Stand have some hidden gems that could help you out!
So after the long summer wait, premier league football is now truly underway, with 2 games gone the season is starting to take shape, and with it, fantasy football has returned. If your like me you'll be continuously scouring scout reports, upcoming fixtures, the never ending debate of who will be your captain and trying to predict which players will come good in crucial games. This season has thrown up a few interesting points, extremely expensive players such as Yaya Toure and Wayne Rooney have scored poorly in the opening couple of games, both looking like different players compared to last season. Others such as Sterling and Ramsey have continued from where they left off, and some surprise packages such as Steven Naismith, Jovetic and Sigurdsson have been extremely impressive. However there are a couple of sleepers who i believe will have an excellent year, who have been quietly getting to grips with the new season and should most definitely be looked at as potential recruitments for your fantasy team;
1. Dusan Tadic (Southampton) (6.7 mil)
Signed in the summer from FC Twente in Holland, he was bought in as a replacement to Adam Lallana, and from his first couple of games it is easy to see the similarities, a tall, pacey and very skillful midfielder, Tadic has the capability to play anywhere in the midfield. Bagging 16 goals and 14 assists last season, as well as grabbing the Eredivisie's Player of the season he is highly thought of by new Southampton boss Ronald Koeman, who knew all about Dusan from his time managing Feyenoord, so is almost guaranteed to start games. He looked very impressive in both of Southampton's opening two games and seems to have adjusted to the pace of the premier league, and with upcoming fixtures such as West Brom, West Ham, Newcastle, Swansea and QPR there is a run of games that he will impress in, in my opinion Tadic is a hidden gem that not many have chosen but in the next 6 games or so will rack up points for fun due to his undoubted quality and upcoming opponents.
The View From The Stand: With many players under-preforming Tadic is a player who should be given a chance, playing in a new attacking Southampton, with easy games to flourish coming up, he is certainly worth a gamble.
