HERE’S A FANTASY FOOTBALL TIP YOU WON’T GET ANYWHERE ELSE…
Fantasy football: Hardly anyone has picked this potential must-have bargain
The youngster has picked up 16 points on Dream Team so far, making him the joint fifth highest point-scoring defender, level with his teammate van Dijk.
Gomez is priced up at just £2.5m, making him an absolute steal when you consider he is likely to be first-choice for Jurgen Klopp’s side for sometime yet.
Klopp hugs all round
Either Joel Matip or Dejan Lovren were set to be the defensive partner alongside van Dijk at the start of the season, however both picked up injuries in training.
Ragnar Klaven also departed Anfield for Cagliari, which has presented further opportunity to Gomez.
The youngster has grabbed his opportunity with both hands and looks as though he has no intentions of letting it go.
You shall not pass
Liverpool are the only team in the league to have not conceded a goal so far, with Gomez’s performances playing a major part in this.
So far, just 1.8% of Dream Team managers have transferred Gomez into their teams. What are the rest of you playing at?!
The former Charlton man is expected to be one of the players who will see his price increase on Friday August 31.
We advise snapping him up, ASAP.
A questionable kit, far from a questionable defender
Even if Klopp decides to rest the youngster soon, he won’t be without first-team action for too long.
Liverpool are fighting on all four fronts this season and Gomez is likely to be a player who is called upon throughout the campaign.
Snap him up before his price increases.
