The English Championship has been called, by some, the toughest football league in the world. Indeed, facing against 23 other rivals for a chance to play in the most prestigious domestic league requires toughness, as well great tactics, individual skill and consistency.
Goals supply the teams with points. In recent years, there have been plenty of excellent strikers in the English second tier. Who are the ones who have made a name for themselves thus far?
In trying to help you in assembling your Championship fantasy football squad, I have looked at the strikers scoring the goals and bringing in the points.
Top Fantasy Football Championship Strikers So Far
Borja Sainz (Norwich City)
I have talked about Sainz before. If you weren’t looking at picking him for your team then you should certainly consider it now. The Spanish forward has scored 14 this season. He’s by far the most consistent striker in the Championship. And, even though Norwich is stuck circa mid-table, the team is ambitious and has the resources to improve quickly.
Sainz is one of the undisputed stars of Championship fantasy football, with 373 points this season.
Josh Maja (West Brom Albion)
Josh Maja is another player hitting above his weight for an established team. It hasn’t mattered much that West Brom’s season hasn’t yet moved into high gear. The Nigerian has scored 10 goals so far. It’s not just his finishing that has been great. Maja is a striker who can drop deep to link up play and who possesses excellent technique. You’ll want him on your team. And EPL teams will want him on their pretty soon.
Josh Maja has a great record in Championship fantasy football. He has earned 261 points in FootballCoin this season.
Joel Piroe (Leeds)
Joel Piroe’s name risks of getting lost in the shuffle. That’s because Leeds is a great attacking team this year and doesn’t rely merely on one player. Piroe is, however, the team’s top scorer. And, naturally, the former Premiership champions will hope that they have a future star. With Leeds’ recent record, they have to be considered among the favorites to earn promotion, and Piroe should play a big part next season.
Joel Piroe has managed 182 points in FootballCoin at the time of writing.
