New Signings – Fantasy Premier League 2015/16. Juanmi
Well after getting my arm twisted just a bit, I joined in on the new signings fun. I present to you Juanmi. Is he really deserving of an article and with picture included all on his own? Probably not, but this is due more to my laziness than Juanmi’s talent. Besides I have to go colour in some trackers and what not. So here you go fantasy fans, we present the giant Juanmi.

[/three_fourth]Juan Miguel Jiménez López also known as Juanmi is a 22 year old who has just joined Southampton. He said his life long dream was to play for a big club when he signed with the Saints, hmmm, guess that is still a goal not yet accomplished. Juanmi scored 8 goals last season in La Liga with Malaga and got his first senior squad call up in March for Spain. There is a lot of things to like about this young Spanish international. He goes by one name, he is Spanish and he is small. We all know that the only good Spanish players are small, so he can’t be all that bad. It remains to be seen where he will be played by Koeman. Striker seems to be his preferred position, however he can play all along the front line if needed. Also will be interesting if the rigours of playing in the EPL will make it tough on him to adjust quickly and show some of his best qualities. Expect to see a pacy player with good movement off the ball. Surprisingly good in the air, but one could argue that his headed goals are due more to his movement than the ability to outmuscle or out jump any Shawcrosses.
Fantasy outlook: A wait and see option. At some point this season he will be given a chance to prove himself. You know Shane Long will be out with some sort of injury, probably his wrist tape being too tight or something will put him out several weeks. J-Rod is coming back from a devastating injury and Pelle has been mentioned among those who suffered from one of the worst droughts ever recorded in history. At only 6.0 if he is given a chance maybe he can be a J-Rod type from two seasons ago and prove to be good value.

MattX I will e-mail you Mon to start discussing are tactics for the Doubles cheers mate
No problem mate. Enjoy Cartmel.
If your not one for worrying about a keeper them Butland only costs £4.5m.
Butland sounds a good option at that price. We would probably have to find someone to go with him as 3 of his first 5 fixtures include Liverpool, Spurs and Arsenal, but the right rotation could get us through.
I’m cooling on my early interest in Butland, I don’t think it will take a lot for him to potentially lose his spot (Givens played under Hughes before and still looks like a competent No.1 after the end of last season for Villa.) and I’m loathe to taking a keeper who’ll have Glen Johnson as a RB ahead of him.
Sounds like the Delph deal could be back on. If they lose Vlaar, Benteke and Delph they will struggle to stay up now matter how good Sherwood thinks Sherwood is.
Yeah, I also read that Delph to City was back on. Apparently SkyBet suspended betting on him going to City only 10 min after they reopened the betting.
