A combined 1.1million Fantasy Premier League managers are celebrating their points from a new addition to their squad after Alexander Isak (£9.2m) and Anthony Gordon (£7.4m) both scored in Gameweek 20's early match.
Isak has been among the top four recruits in each of the last six Gameweeks, and he extended his scoring streak to seven matches with a goal in Newcastle United's 2-1 win at Tottenham Hotspur.
Including his double-figure haul against Liverpool, the Swede has totalled 69 points since Gameweek 14, and was rewarded with two additional bonus points from Saturday's encounter.
GW20 most-bought players
Player | Bought by | Pts |
---|---|---|
Wood | 979,158 | - |
Isak | 616,956 | 7 |
Hall | 490,346 | 2 |
Gordon | 460,463 | 7 |
Aina | 457,386 | - |
Isak's team-mate Gordon was the most-bought midfielder for Gameweek 20 as managers looked to capitalise against an injury-hit Spurs side.
His goal continued his own good run of form. The England international has now registered an attacking return in each of his last seven starts.
It could have been even better for his 460,000+ new owners, with Gordon having five shots including two big chances - situations where a player is expected to score - against Ange Postecoglou's side.
It wasn't all good news for those who snapped up Newcastle players, however, with Lewis Hall (£4.8m), the most-transferred in defender of the round, blanking.
Hall had notched 40 points across his four previous outings, persuading more than 490,000 managers to add him to their squad. But the corner-taking full-back had to settle for two points on this occasion, despite creating two chances.
Managers move from Cunha to Wood
The No 1 transfer target for Gameweek 20 has been Chris Wood (£6.8m), with just under 980,000 managers buying the Nottingham Forest forward.
Fourth in the forward standings, Wood presented Matheus Cunha (£7.0m) owners with an easy swap.
The most-sold player of the round, Cunha has been banned for two matches after being the subject of an FA misconduct charge following an incident at the end of the Matchweek 16 match against Ipswich Town.
He will sit out the Premier League contest between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Forest on Monday as well as the FA Cup third-round tie at Bristol City.
Costing just £0.2m less than Cunha, Wood has been lethal in front of goal this season, scoring with 11 of his 34 attempts, giving him the best conversion rate of any forward to start more than one match.
Wood's team-mate Ola Aina (£5.2m) completes the top five transfers in.
The leading defender in Fantasy with 89 points from the first half of the season, Aina's 457,000+ new owners will be optimistic that he can add to his eight clean sheets in the coming weeks.
With the exception of Liverpool at home in Gameweek 21, Nuno Espirito Santo's side face opponents rated at three or below in the Fixture Difficulty Ratings (FDR) across their next six matches.
