            <p>Former <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/category/sky-fantasy-football-tips/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Sky Sports Fantasy Football</strong> </a><strong>champion </strong><a href="https://twitter.com/DanCox_FFH">Dan Cox</a> provides us with some <strong>essential Sky Fantasy tips to managing your team</strong>.</p>
<p>As a quick disclaimer, I'm not saying these will be my final teams so I don't want people just blindly copying without putting any thought into picking a squad themselves - there is no right or wrong team.</p>
<p>There is still over a week until the big kick off when <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fantasy-football-tips-team-preview-arsenal/"><strong>Arsenal</strong> </a>face <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/the-best-brentford-fpl-players/"><strong>Brentford</strong></a>. These <strong>Sky Fantasy</strong> teams I delve into offer <strong>different strategies</strong> and contain some food for thought.</p>
<p>There might be<strong> two or three players you can swap in or out and yet still keep the same core</strong>.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> This is what I may end up doing before the <strong>Gameweek 1</strong> deadline. </span></p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Team A - Risky Strategy</h2>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-36880 size-large" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/00A21FE1-4004-446D-82E0-12264C105490_1_201_a-805x1024.jpeg" alt="sky fantasy football best team" width="805" height="1024" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With only three game weeks until the <strong>Overhaul</strong>, I’m going to try avoid making more than one transfer. This season's <strong>Overhaul </strong>is a week sooner than usual so it should be easier to save those limited transfers.</p>
<p>According the Hub’s <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fixture-ticker/"><strong>Fixture </strong><strong>Ticker</strong></a>, <strong>Aston Villa</strong> have one of the easiest starts to the season so I’m considering going for something slightly different. In this case, an <strong>entire <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/aston-villa-fantasy-football-tips-team-preview/">Aston Villa</a> backline</strong> could do the trick! It's certainly unorthodox but if <strong>Villa</strong> can keep a couple of clean sheets, it could really pay off.</p>
<p>I think with just three games before the <strong>Overhaul</strong>, it’s worth a gamble. By no means is this a strategy I would commit to over a longer period. <strong>Villa</strong> face <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/the-best-watford-fpl-players/"><strong>Watford</strong></a>, <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/newcastle-fantasy-football-tips-team-preview/"><strong>Newcastle</strong> </a>and <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/the-best-brentford-fpl-players/"><strong>Brentford</strong> </a>in their first three fixtures.</p>
<p>The major problem with this selection is that all my defenders, and <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/how-to-find-the-next-emi-martinez-fpl-goalkeeper-tips/"><strong>Emiliano Martínez</strong></a> <strong>(£7.2m)</strong>, face my striker <strong>Ivan </strong><strong>Toney (£7.9m)</strong>. This isn’t ideal as you don’t want your own striker facing your defence. Ultimately, you will lose out on points.</p>
<p>I’m not a big fan of the opening fixture of <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/the-best-brentford-fpl-players/"><strong>Brentford</strong> </a>versus <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/the-best-arsenal-fpl-players/"><strong>Arsenal</strong></a>. However, I think I’m going to go for <strong>Toney. </strong>The <strong>Brentford</strong> hitman <strong>scored 33 goals</strong> in the <strong>Championship</strong> last season and seems as good a captaincy choice as any. The <strong>Bees</strong> then face <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/crystal-palace-fantasy-football-tips-team-preview/"><strong>Crystal</strong> <strong>Palace</strong></a> and <strong>Aston</strong> <strong>Villa</strong> so why not take a gamble on <strong>Toney</strong>?</p>
<p>You could of course skip the opening night but I’m <strong>not a fan of missing any days with the captaincy in mind</strong>.</p>
<p>It's also worth noting that <strong>Toney</strong> is in <strong>14% of teams</strong> so if he does well, you're already behind over a tenth of all <strong>Sky Fantasy managers</strong>.</p>
