Sat Oct 19 19:39:13 UTC 2024: – Over 625,000 Fantasy Premier League managers faced disappointment as top transfer target Brennan Johnson (£6.6m) failed to score in Tottenham’s 4-1 victory against West Ham, despite attempting four shots in the penalty area.
– Dominic Solanke (£7.7m), another popular pick, also blanked in the game.
– None of Tottenham’s five most-owned players delivered points, with Micky van de Ven (£4.6m) suffering a goal concession and receiving a yellow card, resulting in just a single point for his owners.
– Attention shifts to Bryan Mbeumo (£7.5m) and Dwight McNeil (£5.7m), who are set to potentially reward over 798,000 managers who have recently added them to their teams.
– Mbeumo has six goals this season, second only to Erling Haaland (£15.4m), as Brentford prepares to face Manchester United.
– McNeil’s prospects improve with Everton facing Ipswich Town, who have conceded the most big chances this season.
– Chris Wood (£6.3m) is also among the top five transfers in, with over 325,000 new owners looking forward to his game against Crystal Palace on Monday night after his international travel.
– Glenn Murray and Emmanuel Petit criticized Mikel Arteta and his team for lacking energy in their 2-0 loss at Bournemouth.
