If you are investing in Swansea City as a Fantasy Premier League manager, it is highly likely that you are investing in Scott Sinclair. The dynamic winger, who never quite made the grade at Chelsea, enjoyed a prolific season in the Championship last year. He is now firmly established as Swansea’s ‘main man’, reflected by the decision in the second-half of last season to hand him penalty-kick duties. Priced at 6.0 as a player from a promoted team in the game, it is evident that much is expected of him on his return to the Premier League.
Sinclair certainly appears to have matured since his last Premiership spell, ironically with Wigan, adding goal scoring prowess to his game in the process. This is evidenced by the 23 strikes he registered as Swansea’s top scorer during their promotion-winning campaign. Notably, Sinclair displayed his ability to perform on the big stage by scoring a hat-trick at Wembley in the scintillating 4-2 Play-Off Final victory over Reading. His ability to replicate this sort of goal scoring form in the Premier League will be significantly boosted by the fact that he is now first-choice on direct free-kicks and penalties.
If you are still yet to be convinced by Sinclair’s potential as a Fantasy Premier League prospect, maybe his next two fixtures will convince you to sample him in your team. If Sinclair is going to deliver, his next two games look good places for him to start. Firstly, he finds himself coming up against one of his former clubs, Wigan, and their admittedly leaky defence in a home tie. Next up after this weekend is another home tie, this time against a Sunderland side which presumably will still be gelling following the number acquisitions they have made during the off-season. I envisage Sinclair giving those who have invested in him plenty of early reward for doing so in the next two Gameweeks.
