Gareth Bale's 12 million pound tag in Fantasy Premier League has not put off many people, he's currently selected by over half the fantasy managers to have had a pre-season tinker with their team. Here are five reasons why they are right.
- World Class He's one of a handful of genuine world class talents in the Premier League. He's as good as 'fixture proof' in FPL and can be relied on through thick and thin, even as a Captain pick.
- Tactics Spur's tactics play to Bale's strengths. The signing of Paulinho furthers Bale's freedom in attack, as would a possible move by AVB move to 4-3-3.
- Europa League Without Champion's League football Spurs will go all out for it this year. Whilst his elite rivals may get rested for key Champion's League games it's more likely that Bale will champion Spur's push for a 4th or higher placing in the league.
- Extra Points In FPL midfielders score an extra point for a goal and get a point for clean sheets too, this all adds up to give Bale a supreme potential for point scoring.
- Getting Better He's just turned 24 and is emerging as one of the greatest players in world football, deservedly up there with Messi and Ronaldo. He can get even better this season.
