Your ideal pick would be a player who is positioned on the wing, or even at False No9, but is still classified as a midfielder.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And what makes fantasy football so unique is the fact that you could field five wingers in your midfield and rack up the points, while real-life managers have to worry about things like &#8220;tactics&#8221; and &#8220;balance&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The question is, who is the right midfielder to pick?

Mason Mount (Chelsea)<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><b>Value on FanTeam: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a37.2<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Points so far: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">95.8<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Points per million: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">13.31<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Because of the way Thomas Tuchel sets up his Chelsea side, Mason Mount spends more time closer to the opposition&#8217;s penalty box than he does his own, performing a role similar to an inside forward. After a slow start to the season Mount has hit form at the right time, especially with Chelsea struggling for fitness in their attack. The Englishman is one of just five players to have at least four goals and four assists in the Premier League this season, and only Emmanuel Dennis and Mohamed Salah have been directly involved in more goals than his 11 (seven goals, four assists).<\/p>\n<h2><b>4. Bernardo Silva (Manchester City)<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><b>Value on FanTeam: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a37.4<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Points so far: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">100.3<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Points per million: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">13.55<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Another player benefiting from playing further forward is Bernardo Silva, who forms part of Manchester City&#8217;s frightening, fluid attack. The Portuguese midfielder is Man City&#8217;s top scorer in the Premier League this season, netting seven goals, while recording one assist. Despite starting matches as part of Man City&#8217;s midfield three, Silva often finds himself out on the wings where he can make the most of his ability, and he regularly gets the clean sheet bonuses thanks to the defenders behind him.<\/p>\n<h2><b>3. Emile Smith Rowe (Arsenal)<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><b>Value on FanTeam: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a36.3<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Points so far: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">87.4<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Points per million: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">13.87<\/span><\/p>\n<p>A player not many will have tipped to do as well as he is doing in the Premier League this season, Emile Smith Rowe is massively outperforming expectations. Coming in at a relatively low price of \u00a36.3, Smith Rowe has scored seven goals in the Premier League so far &#8212; more than any other Arsenal player. Only four players across the rest of the division have scored more than Smith Rowe, who has also recorded two assists despite being yet to nail down a definitive position on the pitch for Arsenal.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>FanTeam&#8217;s Second Chance fantasy game explained:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/premier-league-fantasy-football-tips-2021-22-fanteam\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1235780 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/12\/01175553\/1234886_1234886_FanTeam-Second-Chance.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/12\/01175553\/1234886_1234886_FanTeam-Second-Chance.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/12\/01175553\/1234886_1234886_FanTeam-Second-Chance-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/12\/01175553\/1234886_1234886_FanTeam-Second-Chance-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/12\/01175553\/1234886_1234886_FanTeam-Second-Chance-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/12\/01175553\/1234886_1234886_FanTeam-Second-Chance-110x62.jpg 110w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/12\/01175553\/1234886_1234886_FanTeam-Second-Chance-124x70.jpg 124w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/12\/01175553\/1234886_1234886_FanTeam-Second-Chance-66x37.jpg 66w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/12\/01175553\/1234886_1234886_FanTeam-Second-Chance-80x45.jpg 80w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/12\/01175553\/1234886_1234886_FanTeam-Second-Chance-180x101.jpg 180w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/12\/01175553\/1234886_1234886_FanTeam-Second-Chance-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/12\/01175553\/1234886_1234886_FanTeam-Second-Chance-1067x600.jpg 1067w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/12\/01175553\/1234886_1234886_FanTeam-Second-Chance-240x135.jpg 240w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/12\/01175553\/1234886_1234886_FanTeam-Second-Chance-1100x619.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/12\/01175553\/1234886_1234886_FanTeam-Second-Chance-85x48.jpg 85w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/12\/01175553\/1234886_1234886_FanTeam-Second-Chance-36x20.jpg 36w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/12\/01175553\/1234886_1234886_FanTeam-Second-Chance-330x186.jpg 330w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><b>2.

The Spaniard is crucial at the heart of Man City&#8217;s midfield, keeping things ticking with his passing but also providing a defensive shield &#8211; which doesn&#8217;t translate to fantasy football points. But Rodri has had a good return so far this season, aided by the clean sheet points and his two goals and one assist.<\/p>\n<h2><b>1.
