Selecting Your Team: Midfielders

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 basically a Forward role.
