On April 26, 2007 Will Brooks had the bright idea of re-inventing the way soccer is managed.

It's fair to assume that players that cost a lot, should do pretty well in Fantasy soccer manager game. But finding an able player from little lower from the pricelist is a little tougher task. Let's see who are good budget players for your Fantasy League team.
First goalkeepers:

I thought I'd begin a new weekly post here on my Premier Fantasy League blog: Player cards.

I know there are some purists out there who detest fantasy sports. That's great, but I don't want to hear it.
