We take this time to pay tribute to last year's MV(f)P - that's Most Valuable (fantasy) Player. Sure Thierry Henry scored a ton of goals for Arsenal on the way to an undefeated season and got a ton of fantasy points for those owners willing to sink a third of their budget into buying him but, for fantasy football purposes, he cost too much and so we can't consider him a viable MV(f)P candidate. Our MV(f)P entered the Premier League to little fanfare and honestly, he was not much more than an average player for his club over the course of the year. He was a little slow and got caught up in the attacking zone a little too frequently but in the wonderful world of Fantasy Football, none of that matters. What did matter to those with the foresight to pick him up at the beginning of the year for the bargain price of just under 2.5 is that he consistently bombed free kicks and crosses on net and into the box resulting in a steady stream of fantasy points. Our MV(f)P: Michael Tarnat. We wish you well in your new life as the biggest fantasy bargain in Bundesliga Fantasy Football. Runners up: Frank Lampard & Muzzy Izzet with honorable mention to Steve Watson for one of the best single game performances by a defender in recent memory.
Stay tuned for this year's candidates for MV(f)P...
