Clint Dempsey , always delivered.

Rafael Van der Vaart.

Yeah these 2 were my "secret" weapons when I started playing. Always under-owned IMO (in my private leagues anyway) and always returned. Got me many monthly/weekly prizes too. I'll never forget .

It doesn't answer the OP question but I'd like to mention Blackpool's super Charlie Adam who might have beaten the BPs World record the season I started playing .
I agree about Siggy too and would like to mention David "Merlin" Silva who's often been good to me but who's not returning at all this year.

So is there any player in particular that fantasy football has made ye develop an irrational soft spot for in real life ?

On the contrary :mad: I am developping a very rational very very not soft at all spot with Christian Fuchs :pac:.

RVP

Good shout. Back in the day he was so dependable. I always remember going to a game at Arsenal and captaining him and he scored after a minute or so made the whole game more enjoyable!

Always had a good experience with Hernandez too. He was always so cheap if you're timing was good he was great value.

1 Henry
2 Ronaldo (that season)
3 Stevie g
4 Suarez

10 Cech (04/05 - it was great not even thinking about the keeper position for that season, just guaranteed points)

Temuri Ketsbaia.

Edit - Honourable mentions for Kinkladze and Juninho.

Scorpion Sting

Michu deserves a mention for his amazing 2012/13 season.

Thierry Henry. Always the first player I picked when he was playing, regardless of how much he cost.

I only started playing FPL seriously that season and he was the main man really. He'll probably never be heard from again but I'll always remember him for that wonder season.

Anyone 4.0 or under


Attackers:

Any MF under 4.3.

Walters
Mata
Silva
Suarez
Aguero
Rooney
Drogba
Malouda
Milner at Man City
Jamie O Hara

Charlie Adam at Blackpool was a season keeper

Got bonus even when they lost.

Clint Dempsey too

shineon23

Pardon me, yous can all ignore my previous post.


Completely forgot that the answer to this puzzle is Cedric.

Sooner or Later

Matty Elliot.

For those of you too young to remember a Leicester defender with a knack for scoring goals, especially headers from corners.

massdebater

Amr Zaki

Green&Red

In no particular order

Thomas Gravesen
Tim Howard - purely for the goal in 2012 when I had him as captain cause he was on a DGW
RVP in his Arsenal days, the day he was dropped and came on for a hat-trick
Aguero
Silva
Niko Kranjcar

munster87

Thought PVA would have more mentions here

Dicky2016

RVP especially his final season with Arsenal
30 Goals, never budged from Captain

JakeBell

Matty Etherington was always value for money. He spent a lot of time in my teams.

qwabercd

Martin Laursen. A Hoover for the BPs.

NoviGlitzko

RVP
Nemanja Vidic during MU's clean sheet streak
Elano at City
Amr Zaki's incredible start with Wigan
Theo Walcott - I captained him against Newcastle at home, he scored 3 and assisted 2.

Cortina_MK_IV

Denis Irwin.
David Unsworth.
Andrei Kanchelskis.

Iused2likebusts

Yakubu was a good 3rd striker.

Or Benjani for that one good season he had at Portsmouth.

PARlance

No mention of Boyd? A forum favourite 2 (?) Years ago as the 5th cheap mid. He only delivered when he was needed.

Green&Red

Some great escape players
Ulloa and Huth for Leicester 2015
Larrsson for Sunderland 2014 - actually Larrsson anytime, great DGW player


Danny Murphy in his post liverpool days
Berba

And defo Van Der Vaart
