With a starting price of £5.0m, Jordan Pickford is just £0.5m below the top-tier goalkeepers for the upcoming season. This makes him a strong contender for a spot in your fantasy football team if you are opting for a one or two-keeper strategy.
Last season in Ligue 1, Irish international James O’Brien netted four goals and has now joined Everton, a team known for its proficiency in scoring from set pieces. In fact, at one point during the campaign, the Toffees scored more goals from deadball situations than from open play. This bodes well for O’Brien, whose strengths align perfectly with this style of play.
Joining O’Brien as another summer signing is a Senegalese international who is expected to feature in the starting lineup for the opening week of fixtures. Despite underperforming during his stint at Marseille, where he was deployed across the front three by three different managers, the player’s talent is undeniable.
In the world of fantasy football, these new signings could prove to be valuable assets for managers looking to bolster their squads ahead of Gameweek 1. Whether it’s Pickford’s potential for clean sheets or O’Brien’s knack for scoring from set pieces, there are plenty of reasons to consider Everton players for your fantasy team this season.
