Fantasy football tips: Premier League surprise players of the season so far – Michael Keane
- Everton defender Michael Keane has turned his form around since last season
We need to talk about Michael Keane.
After all, the Everton defender was a pretty big deal a couple of years ago.
Plying his trade as part of Burnley's solid back-line, the former Man United academy graduate was a Dream Team favourite during the 2016/17 season, but lost his way last season following his big-money move to Goodison Park.

What's more, Keane has steadily been one of the best bargain defenders on Dream Team this season.
Priced at just £3.7m, his current haul of 44 points makes him the second-best Everton player on the game this season - behind only Gylfi Sigurdsson (57 points) and ahead of the likes of Richarlison (36 points) and Lucas Digne (26 pointd) - and up there among the likes of Antonio Rudiger (44 points) and Willy Boly (42 points).
That's some turnaround, don't you think?
Keane will be heading to a very familiar ground this weekend, as Everton travel to Old Trafford to take on Man United.
The 25-year-old made just five appearances for his boyhood club prior to his move to Burnley in January 2015, and will be keen to see off his former employers as Everton look to break into the top six.
