Premier League fantasy football: 5 former favourites we think you should give up on ahead of this season
1 Benjamin Mendy
3 Marcos Alonso
Not so long ago, Alonso was one of fantasy football's undisputed champions; a marauding, goal-scoring wing-back that was a staple of nearly everyone's Dream Team.
Not anymore it seems, after a disastrous 2018/19 campaign that saw his powers significantly decline.
It wasn't long before supporters turned on him after a string of poor performances and there was often a sigh of relief from Blues fans when Emerson Palmieri was preferred on the left of defence ahead of the Spaniard.
We doubt he'll be a regular this season either, and it might be time to bin him off.
4 Leroy Sane
Sane seemed like a natural choice for Dream Team last season; well-rested from his World Cup exclusion and a huge part of Man City's 2017/18 success. He was a huge start-of-season favourite.
But in the early months of last year, he rarely started for the side amidst rumours boss Pep Guardiola was unhappy with the German youngster's attitude and commitment.
Of course, he still played his part in City's title defence, but you get the feeling he's still not in his manager's good books, especially considering Bayern Munich are said to be interested in signing him this summer.
Maybe pick somebody else?
5 Willian
We're not quite sure what to think of Willian.
Every now and then, he's turn up in the blue shirt of Chelsea and pulls off a show-stopping performance that makes you wonder why he doesn't get picked for the side every week by his manager.
But those performances are becoming less and less frequent, and we certainly doubt the Brazilian will be a first-team regular next season.
Or perhaps he will? Lampard's handed him the No.10 shirt for the season ahead, alluding to the fact that he might still be a main-player in the side.
Even so, his lack of consistency has really put us off choosing him among the midfielders in our Dream Team.
