Gameweek 23 Ghost Point Hunters: Draft EPL

Writer's picture: Ryan BarnesRyan Barnes

We ain’t afraid of no ghosts. In fact, we seek them – ghost points, that is. Ghost points are fantasy points that do not come from attacking returns or clean sheets. These can come in the form of key passes, shots on target, successful dribbles, interceptions, and tackles, among others. Identifying these points is essential for your Fantasy EPL prospects, and our Gameweek 23 Ghost Point Hunters article is here to help!

Gameweek 23 Ghost Point Hunters


Jesper Lindstrom

Position: Midfielder

Team: Everton

Rostered: 7%

Ghost Points Per Start: 6.6 (prior to this GW)

Ghost Points Last GW: 21

Prospects: Now this is what we've been waiting for from the baby-faced Scandinavian! Jesper Lindstrom teased us earlier in the season with a few starts and tasty set pieces. But he hasn't really cracked on, continuing to share a winger spot with Jack Harrison on one of the least prolific attacks in the league. However, things are now looking up. New/old manager David Moyes fielded him over the weekend and he grasped the opportunity with both hands, delivering an absurd 21 ghosties, stemming from 4 Key Passes, 1 Shot on Target, 5 Tackles Won, 4 Accurate Crosses Not Corners (ACNCs), 2 Interceptions, & 2 Clearances. Lindstrom also passed the eye test and has left many assuming that he will likely fend off competition from Harrison and make that role his own. Yes, lads, it's against Tottenham, and this could be fleeting. But this performance is still a good sign, especially as there is a playmaking void with McNeil still out, there is a DGW on the horizon in GW24, and the schedule is decent for the foreseeable future. Minutes could still be an issue (he did this against Spurs in just under 70 minutes) but he very well could end up being Moyes' guy. We love him as a potential high upside punt in the DGW and beyond.

Verdict: Pick him up - DGW coming in GW24.


David Brooks

Position: Midfielder

Team: Bournemouth

Rostered: 8%

Ghost Points Per Start: N/A

Ghost Points Last GW: 18.75

Prospects: We're very happy to see David Brooks back on the pitch. Diagnosed with cancer just over 3 years ago, he's made a miraculous comeback. He's mostly come off the bench this season but a few injuries have resulted in the dynamic Welshman starting two games on the trot. He finished with a solid but unremarkable 6 total points the game before last but this GW he put up mouthwatering numbers. Brooks dropped nearly 19 scary scores stemming from 4 Key Passes, 3 Shots on Target, 3 ACNCS, 1 Interception, 1 Clearance, & 2 Successful Dribbles. He was also unlucky to get an assist chalked off by VAR. We don't expect these numbers to continue, sadly, as he has been somewhat mediocre in the past. But he can still provide some upside moving forward. With Tavernier coming back relatively soon, his days may be numbered. But ride it until the wheels fall off if need be.

Verdict: Despite the valid skepticism, if you need a MID5 streamer, he can do a job.
