Anelka took the best Fantasy Forward last year, due to a consistant season and high game time. Can he repeat this form under new boss Ancelotti? Torres had the best points per game, but only playing 51% of the season. If Torres stays fit he is a quality fantasy player. Not far behind him, with the same problem is Van Persie. On a brighter note, Beattie, at only 6.0, is a bargain. Finishing 3rd

Lampard claimed the best Fantasy Midfielder for last season, 10 points clear, but with 5 games more than Gerrard. An interesting stat about Lampard is that in 80% of his games played last year he either scored a goal and or got an assist. Outside of Lampard and Gerrard, Arshavin and Kuyt look very good. Arshavin finished with the highest points per game with 7.25, and like Kuyt, Arshavin enjoys

Vidic was outstanding last year and cruised to the best fantasy defenders with a 15 point lead, while still playing 4 games less than Lescott. Although 8.0 may seem very high, his points per game are comparible to the top Midfielders, where 8.0 looks a bargain. Hangeland catches the eye with fearless performances last season, and with a possible move to Arsenal on the cards, 5.5 seems a

Schwarzer topped the stoppers last season, but only just by 4 points over Cech, and with 3 more games. So who to go for this year? The best value for money is definatley Sorensen, and should be a lock in your team as your second keeper at the very least. It is worth picking Cech as your No.1. Even as one of the premium choice, keepers play the most game time and have a very high points per game

How did the teams perform in FL Scoring last year? Unsuprisngly, the Top 4 are there, but Man Utd might possess the best value with 3 very favourable opening fixtures. However, you should probably stay clear of Wigan, risiding at the foot of the table and with difficult opening fixtures not helping. Portsmouth are no better, and with selling Crouch and Johnson, things can only get
