For all the millions of pounds they have spent on superstars, it was Kelechi Iheanacho who came to Manchester City’s rescue against Crystal Palace at the weekend.
It’s safe to say that nobody saw Iheanacho’s heroics coming, and these fantasy football stats show just how surprising his performance was.
Among the nearly 3.5m users on the official Fantasy Premier League site, 0.0% of people selected the Nigerian striker in their teams at the weekend.
You have to feel sorry for those 71 people who had kept the faith in the youngster for the opening four weeks, only to dump him before he actually did something.
It’s early days, but Iheanacho currently has as many points as fellow City striker Wilfried Bony, as well as outscoring the disappointing Saido Berahino and Liverpool newboy Danny Ings.
