Premier League star turns teammate into Brazilian Ronaldo meme after display so surprising only 0.2% of SuperCoach fans picked him
Too bad if you had Liverpool players this week in the battle of the heavyweights, as Erling Haaland returned to his normal self as Manchester City went to Anfield and trounced the Reds 3-0. With off-field clouds hovering over City due to allegations of systematic financial cheating, those budgeting might be reaping havoc with this season's Premier League, but for now, they're issues you need not worry about in SuperCoach EPL.
The only concern for you is monitoring whether City maintain their form on the park, and on this performance, it looks like they might for now. As the Premier League returned after a long international break, there were a few interesting performers you should consider bringing into your squads.
Jordan Henderson, 34 points, £5,100,000, Chelsea Has the former Liverpool captain played his way into Xabi Alonso's midfield out of nowhere? His performance against Bournemouth was outrageous - a long range strike, an assist and then a curling free-kick, so eye catching there were memes made transplanting the old Brazilian Ronaldo's hair cut on him wondering if it was the iconic scorer in disguise.
With that performance, and his SuperCoach price, the 0.2% of you that have chosen him are SuperCoach prophets; if you need to make space in your squad with a cheapie, buy him quickly. It wasn't expected that he would start week in, week out at Chelsea but with performances like that, he might well be in the XI all the time.
"We signed him for everything," said Chelsea boss Alonso. "If he's able to score two beauties like today we are more than happy for him.
But apart from the goals he's done many good things. I think that today was a very complete performance.
You'd be hard pressed to argue that it isn't the SuperCoach EPL display of the season. The only higher points haul to top a week was Bruno Fernandes' 47 - but for context, the Manchester United playmaker is worth £14,230,000 - almost three times the amount as the England veteran.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, 22 points, £10,390,000, Everton Drewsbury-Hall's price is another nod to how cheap Henderson is, but the Everton midfielder is also a player who looks to be becoming influential in the Premier League more regularly and is capable of scoring from midfield, as he did on the weekend against Hull. Given he is still £1.1m cheaper than his SuperCoach EPL starting price, he could be a tempting choice as the Toffees host Chelsea this weekend; Drewsbury-Hall's career stalled at Chelsea and he'll have a point to prove this weekend.
Ricardo Calafiori, 18 points, Arsenal, £8,860,000 Goal scoring defenders are a cheat code in SuperCoach EPL, especially at a club that (usually, but not on the weekend) are as solid at the back as Arsenal are. The Italian is also on the cheaper side for a top tier defender."
