Hey guys, Sunderland fan here. Its time to do our fantasy sides again and was wantin some advice on your new guy tonev, will he get much game time you think? P. s if you want a tip sessegnon will be back this season. P. s good luck for the season, I hope both our teams are more successful than last year.
Serious answer here mate. Tonev is a great little player and there is no doubt he will do well in this current Villa squad and in the Premier League, however I cannot see him starting all the games and I think PL will use Tonev for more attacking tactical games. To have him in your fantasy football team every week I think you'd be loosing out on others who would play more, but I may be wrong. Just my opinion and I know what I'm talking about. Good luck to yourselves as well. See you when you visit Villa Park.

Best of luck to you as well mate.
Can`t help too much with Tonev, have not seen him play, I have watched youtube clips but as you know they only show what you want too see.
I must say he looks good and has two great feet.
Game time is a bit iffy with Gabby and Weiman.
Unless Paul Lambert tries Tonev in midfield as an AMP?
Best of luck

Hi lm86. Probably not a good idea to put tonev in for the first few weeks as nobody really knows how he'll turn out and he has hardly played in pre season due to injury. My best advice is to put benteke weimann or gabby in your team as we aren't shy in front of goal as you guys found out (that was di canio's fault not sunderlands). I'd stear well clear of any defenders as we are poor at the back, and although guzan is a good keeper we will concede a lot as we're still naive at the back. The only defender i'd stick in the team is lowton due to his assists. I'd also try to keep away from westwood and sylla, because while they are very good players who do make a difference, they won't score many, and might not get many assists. Just another tip, for gameweek 1 and 2 i'd put as many chelsea and villa players in as possible as we play each other mid week of the first week so we will have a game more than everybody else just remember to take them out for gameweek 3 as neither team are playing then.
Thanks for your answers, I think i'm going to have a punt on him because at 5 mill he is a snip, again good look with the season, f##k the blues haha
