Wilfred Bony - Fantasy Star in the Making
This is a summer signing that tears up the landscape of fantasy football a fair bit. Not only a bonafide goal machine in the making but his presence in the Swan's line-up is going to seriously dampen Michu's output, last season's star fantasy performer.
Wilfred Bony, a £12m signing for Swansea, is 24 years old and was one of the highest scoring players in all of Europe last season. 31 goals in 30 games for Vitesse in 2012/13 supplements a career total of 84 goals in 160 games.
He has pace and power, and can be compared physically to compatriot Didier Drogba. A lethal finisher, his game style favours a close passing game and Swansea's style will suit him down to the ground.
Swanse's opening 3 fixtures are a little unkind but by GW4 they pick up and a FPL price tag of around £7.5M would probably see him in our team from the off, in fact we dreamt about him earlier today! He'll also bring out some real assist potential for any under-valued and overlooked Swansea midfielder - De Guzman's corner's and set pieces could be given a real boost by Bony's presence in the box.
2013/14 is going to be a blinder.
