Anan Khalaily's Fantasy Premier League Ownership Remains Low

Israeli winger Anan Khalaily is gradually becoming a player to watch at Crystal Palace, but fantasy football managers have yet to take notice. As of the third round of the Premier League season, only 0.1% of fantasy managers have included Khalaily in their squads. This low ownership is likely attributed to Crystal Palace's poor defensive performance, having conceded six goals in their first two matches.

Furthermore, only 4,757 managers selected Khalaily for the current round, placing him 12th among Crystal Palace players in fantasy terms. His primary appeal in fantasy leagues lies in his defensive contributions, measured by tackles and ball recoveries. Khalaily has accumulated 23 such actions in the one and a half games he has played, earning him two bonus points in a 4-1 loss to Manchester City, while his defensive teammates received zero points.

An additional factor contributing to his low ownership might be his current price of 5 million, which is considered relatively high and potentially deterring managers. The upcoming London derby against Fulham presents an opportunity for Khalaily to make an impression and potentially increase his fantasy appeal.
