BORN IN: Milton Keynes (Great Britain), 11/04/1996
ROLE: Midfielder
SQUAD: How
Como has scored another important transfer coup: the purchase of English midfielder Dele Alli, released last July after his disappointing experience at Everton, is official. A profile with great international experience that can enrich the department led by Fabregas.
Born in 1996, Dele Alli had a promising start to his career in the youth team and then in Football League One with Milton Keynes Dons. In the 2015/2016 season he joined Tottenham, where he enjoyed the best period of his career. With Spurs he was the protagonist of high-level seasons, contributing to second place in the Premier League in 2016/2017 and reaching the Champions League final in 2019. From 2015 to January 2022 he played 181 league games, scoring 51 goals and 34 assists, to which are added 52 appearances, 8 goals and 20 assists between the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League.
After finishing on the fringes of Tottenham, in 2022 he moved to Everton, where he made just 13 appearances in the league and cups, without managing to make an impact. In the 2022/2023 season he moved on loan to Beşiktaş, Turkey, making 13 appearances and 2 goals, in a year conditioned by a muscle injury that kept him out of action for a long time.
From a tactical point of view, Dele Alli is an attacking midfielder capable of also playing as a central midfielder or left winger. If necessary, he can also be used as a winger, first or second striker. He is an offensive wildcard with great ability to pass without the ball, dribbling and shooting from distance.
Fantasy football advice
Despite his unquestionable talent, in recent years Dele Alli has been heavily penalized by injuries and has played very few matches, remaining on the fringes of the teams in which he played. Furthermore, he hasn’t played an official race for almost two years. For these reasons, it is probable that he will be gradually inserted into Fabregas’s rotations, without guaranteed ownership in the short term. At the moment, the starting position in the attacking midfield will remain with Nico Paz.
Therefore, we recommend purchasing it only as the last slot in both 8-a-side and 10-a-side leagues.
