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 20 Ghost Point Hunters article is here to help!
This Ghost Point Hunters article is based on the Fantrax Scoring System. Check out our Ghost Point Tracker page for the full list of Fantasy EPL players and their respective Ghost Point capabilities!
Gameweek 20 Ghost Point Hunters
Jan Bednarek
Position: Defender
Team: Southampton
Rostered: 5%
Ghost Points Per Start: 6.6
Ghost Points Last GW: 20.75
Prospects: Another week, another "asset" from rock bottom Southampton? Yes, indeed. But this time it is ghost point royalty, big Jan Bednarek, who should need no introduction. He was a favorite of ours a few years back - before effectively burning us. We tend to forgive if given a viable reason. This is just to say that he has it in him to ghost out of his mind. And he did just that in GW19 v Palace, racking up an astounding 20+ scary scores. These came from 2 Tackles Won, 6 Interceptions, 11 Clearances, 1 Blocked Shot, & 9 Aerials. While these are ridiculous numbers that are seemingly unsustainable, he has been showing great progress under the new manager, averaging over 9 GPPS in the last 3 games with Juric at the helm. Bednarek looks like a good fit in this system and we're ready to potentially believe again. Shout out to Genie for helping us mend still open wounds.
Verdict: Pick him up!
Sergio Reguilon
Position: Defender
Team: Tottenham
Rostered: 8% (how?)
Ghost Points Per Start: N/A
Ghost Points Last GW: 4
Prospects: Who? It has definitely been awhile for ole Sergio Reguilon. Effectively frozen out by Big Ange - to the point where he posted a cheeky message telling his mother that he was finally playing football again 2 GWs ago after he made his first cameo in ages. The Spaniard, at least for now, is the only plausible option at LB. Udogie and Davies are injured, Dragusin is playing CB, and Spence has had disciplinary issues. Up stepped Reguilon in the 2nd half of the game v Wolves and he delivered a respectable 4 ghosties in under 40 minutes, stemming from 1 Key Pass, 1 Accurate Cross Not A Corner (ACNC), & 1 Aerial. It's hard for defenders in a system in which goals are let in for fun to score all that well but we know that he can ghost if given the chance. If he is on the teamsheet ROS, he's worth a punt if you find yourself in a pinch.
Verdict: Pick him up and stream if he starts.
Leon Bailey
Position: Midfielder
Team: Aston Villa
Rostered: 56%
Ghost Points Per Start: 2.5
Ghost Points Last GW: 16.75
Prospects: This has not been a good season for Leon Bailey. The mercurial Jamaican was lights out in 23/24, posting 19 G/A and a PPS of over 11. But injuries and bad form have held him back this campaign, relegating those lofty numbers to a paltry 2 G/A and 3 PPS in 24/25. Many of us have already written him off, GPH included. But does he have something in store for us? His GW19 indicates he just may. Against Brighton, he dropped a mouthwatering 16+ ghostie performance from 3 Key Passes, 2 Tackles Won, 1 Clearance, & 9 Successful Dribbles (!). Bailey has never been a huge ghoster, instead relying largely on G/A, but if he can get close to his nearly 7 GPPS from last season, he can deliver a ton of upside. This performance came out of nowhere and we'd like to see some more before fully buying in. But by then it may be too late. So if you don't want to miss out, we suggest pouncing while he's still cheap, especially before they host lowly Leicester this weekend.
Verdict: If he's still on your waiver wire, pick him up. If not, test the waters with a 1:1 for a CDM like Gravenberch.
