Former Champion Dan Cox Reveals his Sky Sports Fantasy Football Team
Just a quick one to say that this is my last minute team reveal. As always a day is a long time in pre season and thoughts change so here is the team I will start the season with. I have changed five players from last week after much deliberation and consideration. Hopefully I won’t regret the changes.

Thanks for this Dan!
I guess we’re all having the same issues to ponder today…personally I don’t think I could risk the city backline aside from Ederson but it does look as tho Laporte is fit. I would imagine stones will be preferred ahead of Otamendi.
I’m currently sat on this
Alisson
AWB TAA Digne Guilbert
Fraser Barkley KDB Maddison
Kane Salah
Been keen to hear some thoughts?
Best of luck to everyone
BIGGUN
Good team, Barkley isn’t nailed but be good if it pays off, Fraser only good got first 2 fixtures imo, and why have you gone KDB over Sterling? He did look sharp Sunday and MOTM magnet
Don’t know why Dan hasn’t gone for KDB, but I can tell you why I dropped him.
I had him in most of my early drafts, but after the Community Shield dropped him. This may seem strange as he seemed to play well and was given a much further forward role. As a manager of an actual team, that would lead to definitely starting, but what matters in Fantasy Football is his points ( which were 1, 2 for starting, -1 for yellow card). With the position he played, I would have expected more than 1 shot. He also only managed 17 successful passes, no tackles attempted and didn’t assist in the goal.
I think he maybe a big contributor to goals, but not directly through an assist. I.e. he may pick out a player on the wing perfectly, for them to cross the ball in.
Obviously, if he wasn’t the most expensive MID, I’d of kept him in, but I think my budget can be spent on other players that are more likely score frequently (even if not likely to score very big in one specific game like KDB could).
I could be completely wrong, especially as this was just one match (although not heard much else for other pre-season games), plus this was against a good team.
He’s definitely in my plans for GW5 onwards after I’ve seen if his stats back up his overall play.
Wouldn’t read into KDB stats for Liverpool game at all, against lower opposition he’s going to be picking up pass bonuses no doubt and he’s a motm magnet. I’m in two mind whether to start with him or Kane
Thanks for the updated team reveal, Dan.
I’m taking the safe route for this start of the season, with the thinking that by the overhaul we should have a better idea of who’s fit and who’s nailed on to start.
That’s why although I would like to have Laporte, Barkley, Deulofeu and TAA, I’ve dropped them for Digne, Sigurdsson, Tielemans and Robertson.
I’m also considering dropping Alisson for Pickford. This would allow me to change Tielemans for Maddison and Sigurdsson for Richarlison.
Hi Dan,
Will you be posting updates before you make any transfers?
Thanks :-)
