Why you need Zaha in your Gameweek 2 fantasy team

Wilfried Zaha is focused and raring to go after staying at Crystal Palace – putting him in your fantasy team makes total sense this weekend.

The 26-year-old started on the substitutes’ bench last Saturday, as the Eagles started their Premier League campaign with a goalless draw at home to Everton.

He was introduced midway through the second half, but he is expected to play a more prominent role at Sheffield United on Sunday.

Zaha should be raring to go this weekend, looking to prove a point after failing to earn a summer move to Everton.

His figures last season show why he should be making his way into your team for Gameweek 2, with The Scout selecting him in his ‘Ones to Watch’ on the Premier League’s official site.

The 26-year-old scored nine times for Palace on his travels last season, proving that he is not one to go missing away from home.

Only two Premier League players fared better in that respect, and Luka Milivojevic was second in the Palace rankings with five goals.

With the Blades arguably the weakest side in the division, Zaha could flourish on Sunday afternoon.
