There was immediate joy for the 943,000+ Fantasy Premier League managers who recruited Miguel Almiron (£5.5m) for Gameweek 14 as he produced his third consecutive double-digit haul in the 4-0 win over Aston Villa.
Almiron registered a goal and an assist to move up to second in the midfield standings on 78 points.
GW14 most transferred-in players
| Player | Transferred in by ('000s) | Pts |
|---|---|---|
| Almiron | 943 | 12 |
| Kane | 392 | 1 |
| Saka | 301 | 4 |
The Newcastle United midfielder's four double-figure hauls across his last six matches sit in stark contrast to the two in 117 matches he'd mustered prior to Gameweek 9.
How Almiron has improved
| Stat | 2021/22 | 2022/23 |
|---|---|---|
| Appearances | 30 | 13 |
| Shots in the box | 17 | 23 |
| Shots on target | 7 | 11 |
| Big chances | 0 | 6 |
Harry Kane (£11.5m) and Bukayo Saka (£8.0m) completed the top three transfers in.
Kane blanked for only the third time in 2022/23 Fantasy in Tottenham Hotspur's 3-2 win at AFC Bournemouth.
Saka, like Almiron, is also enjoying his best campaign to date. He amassed 64 points after 13 Gameweeks, at least 14 more than in any previous season.
But while he got an assist in Arsenal's 5-0 win over Nottingham Forest on Sunday, he was forced off in the first half with injury.
