Van Persie and Toure join list of Fantasy Football underachievers

Whilst Euro Fantasy League players who selected Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Manuel Neuer will be happy that their heavy investment of fantasy football funds has paid dividends, there are a number of players who came with a big price-tag, but have yet to being points to users.

Stefan Kießling 

Coming in at 12.5m, the former Germany international has brought in only 30 points this season from his seven appearances for Bayer Leverkusen. Kiessling also, despite netting 15 league goals last term, has only found the goal once this term.

Alexis Sanchez

Following his big money move from Barcelona to Arsenal, it’s not worked out quite as the Chilean would have hoped. His return of 45 points from five appearances is a poor return for the player that costs users £12.5m. The attacker has struggled to find his ideal position in Wengers side, and got 0 points from the last two clashes against Tottenham and Chelsea.

Yaya Toure 

The player of last season who appeared to go from end to end at will, seems to have disappeared. The Man City midfielder has struggled to find form this year, and at a price of £12.5m, a return of just 25 points from his six Premier League appearances is disappointing.

Robin Van Persie

Possibly a surprise name on the list but the Dutchman has made six Premier League starts under Louis Van Gaal, netting twice, and making no assists. Whilst two goals is not a disaster, users will have spent £12m for a man who has maybe not made the most of his position in a free-scoring United side that has netted 11 in the last four games.
