It’s not just the Premier League season which is set to end this weekend, with the fantasy football season drawing to a close with Sunday’s games the last action.
Throughout the season fantasy managers have compared scores and worried about substitutions with Mohamed Salah looking set to be the top scorer in fantasy football.
But what if the world of fantasy sports weren’t just restricted to the top division of English football? What if you could play across the 46 games of the Championship season with your friends too?
The folks at the football blog Experimental 3-6-1 have run the numbers and figured out this season’s top fantasy scorers in the Football League and built each division’s best team.
In goals, Middlesbrough shot-stopper Darren Randolph earns most points with 188, just ahead of Sheffield United’s Dean Henderson on 182.
Henderson is one of four Blades to make the team, with Enda Stevens (187 points), Jack O’Connell (156) and John Egan (150) earning a place in the five-man defence alongside Millwall’s Jake Cooper (161) and Swansea City right-back Connor Roberts (152).
Joe Lolley’s 184 points are enough to see the Nottingham Forest man top the charts in midfield just ahead of Blackburn Rovers playmaker Bradley Dack.
Leeds United duo Pablo Hernandez (177) and Mateusz Klich (173) also earn a place in the team with Hull City’s Kamil Grosicki rounding out the midfield on 164 points.
Fellow Tiger Jarrod Bowen’s ever-presence in the Hull team has been good enough to claim 184 points but he is still outscored up front by Brentford’s Neal Maupay on 200 points and Norwich City star Teemu Pukki - the champions’ only representation in the team - topping the charts entirely with 225 points.
