Steem Fantasy Premier League - Gameweek 20 Overview

---

There aren’t many days between gameweeks at the moment and therefore there won’t be a review before gameweek 21, besides the fixture list at the end of this overview-text.

Gameweek 20 was a gameweek where several teams that succeeded in gw 19 had a hard time. West Ham United, Tottenham Hotspur, Leicester City and Everton all followed up their fine Gameweek 19 performances with failures in gameweek 20. Spurs that suddenly, after their win in gw 19, were on second place in the league are now back in third place after a home defeat to Wolverhampton (1-3).

Liverpool showed Arsenal they have still a long way to go before they could be considered title contenders. After Arsenal’s early lead Klopp’s side bounced back immediately to run out 5-1 winners, with Roberto Firmino, Salah and Sadio Mane all scoring and producing excellent displays up top.

It wasn’t best of performances by Manchester City we have seen when they defeated Southampton by 3-1, but there were at least more positive signs from Pep Guardiola’s side after their back-to-back defeats in Gameweeks 18 and 19. On Thursday they are playing Liverpool at home. This match is definitely a season-deciding game. Should City manage a win the gap between themselves and Liverpool would be only four points, but a defeat would men ten points and a really steep uphill to climb.

Paul Pogba‘s and Manchester United’s renaissance continued with a 4-1 win an 18-point haul against Bournemouth. Pogba has now scored 46 points in three matches under his new manager. Pogba’s recent form have definitely got FPL manager’s attention and he is at the moment the by far most-bought FPL player after Gameweek 20, having already been snapped up by another 550,000+ Fantasy bosses.

Team “Metalheadz” are back in first place in Steem Fantasy League after a well played wildcard and a good gameweek with 71 points. Paul pogba (18p), David Luiz (12p) and Marcus Rashford were Metalheadz’s most successful players all scoring double digit points. Also this gameweek we had a stand out team that managed a score above 100 points. “Asamtho FC” got a big green arrow with the score of 101 points. This score took the team from an overall rank of 223,884 to place 64,308 and a 7th place i our league. This “climb” in rank shows what a really good gameweek can do with your rank and that not always following what others do, for example captain choice, really can pay off. Asamtho FC captained Pogba in gw 20 which resulted in 36 points. When you got such a high score from a captain you’re almost certain to get a great gameweek score. Well done!
