Onori Esiekpe popularly known as ‘Ono’ a staunch Manchester City supporter is the diski101 fantasy league winner for game week 1 with 97 points. The rookie fantasy league player is a business and brand strategist passionate about building Africa currently works in an Ad agency in Lagos and calls Lagos, Jozi, and London home. We decided to chat with him to share some tips with fellow fantasy league lovers. Although we are in the early days in the league, how you start the league does have an impact on how you finish.
“It’s my first time playing but so far, I think Aubameyang is the real deal. Consistent.. plays every week .never injured,” said Onori.
Who will be this season’s bolters?
OE : I think Chelsea could be this season’s bolters. I was really excited about their signings some world-class talent. But after watching their game yesterday was a little bit disappointed. They might need this season before they gel into anything cohesive…I think they’ll finish 4th..which would be disappointing.
Which big club players to go for?
OE :The African Trio…Salah, Mane, Aubameyang.
Which games to target?
OE: N/A (I suppose all the games, I’m still new to this)
Strong Bench?
OE: My bench isn’t quite as strong as I’d like…I ran out of cash. Lol
Tip on Injury News?
OE: All my players are fully fit…thank you very much. I tried to stay away from players with a record. I love Aguero but for that reason, he didn’t make my team. Also, I think Harry Kane was rushed back and might get injured this season.
When to cash in your ‘chips’?
OE: I’m not sure how to cash in my chips just yet, but I’m thoroughly enjoying the ride…so no time soon.
You’re a ManCity Fan, your captain and vice-captain are Aubameyang and Salah, why these choices?
OE: I think Aubameyang and Salah will give me consistent points. I’m also not sure of Mancity this season and I’d rather not lose at 2 ends.
