Luton Town are one of the most intriguing success stories in the history of the English Premier League. The Hatters, who have stormed their way up the football pyramid after bottoming out in the fifth tier, have bloodied some top-flight noses since securing promotion to the EPL via the EFL Championship playoffs last term. Rob Edwards’ side were hotly tipped to spend no more than 12 months in the Premier League, but after 22 EPL games they find themselves one point clear of the relegation zone.
Three wins in their last five games has seen the Hatters’ relegation odds drift to odds-against, with Coral offering 5/4 on their demise. When one of the UK’s leading bookies lengthens Luton’s relegation odds, it’s something to take notice of. This operator is also highly regarded for its consistent and frequent promotions, with Coral free bets dished out to new customers, as well as regular reload offers for existing bettors on desktop or mobile.
With Luton hitting form at just the right time to keep their heads above the relegation parapet, which Hatters players should you be keeping an eye on as cost-effective Fantasy Premier League transfers?
Elijah Adebayo
Adebayo is available for the princely sum of £4.9 million. The former Walsall striker has been a huge influence for the Hatters in the last 18 months. The powerhouse forward has started to adapt to life in the EPL too, claiming seven goals in Luton’s last eight Premier League games. If you don’t believe this is just a purple patch, it could be worth picking up Adebayo now before his value soars further still.
Alfie Doughty
Luton’s reliable wing back, Alfie Doughty has been another consistently high-scoring fantasy pick in recent weeks. In Luton’s eight previous EPL fixtures, Doughty racked up 47 fantasy point with six assists and one goal, as well as playing his part in two clean sheets.
Ross Barkley
Evergreen midfielder Ross Barkley took on the challenge of trying to establish Luton as a Premier League club and his top-flight experience has really come to the fore as of late. He’s scored 44 fantasy points in the last eight EPL games, scoring and assisting three goals apiece. Barkley is available for a similar price point to Adebayo.
Carlton Morris
Former Norwich City academy graduate Carlton Morris is also getting his fair share of minutes of late. The bustling forward has edged Andros Townsend out of the starting eleven due to his solid form. 34 points in the last eight games is another solid return, although at £5 million Morris represents a more expensive outlay than Adebayo.
If you consider yourself a savvy fantasy Premier League gaffer, you could do much worse than taking a second glance at Luton’s squad between now and May.
