Sunderland’s FPL leaders revealed as defensive duo set the pace | OneFootball

Sunderland’s Fantasy Premier League appeal is clear, with a defensive duo leading the club’s points chart in a memorable campaign.

Sunderland Echo notes that Regis Le Bris’ side have confounded relegation forecasts, delivering wins over Chelsea and Bournemouth, draws with Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool, and a league double over Newcastle United that extends a 15-year edge.

With seven games left, the Black Cats are three points off the top seven and six from the top five. European football, for only the second time in the club’s history, is now firmly on the agenda, and Sunday’s home meeting with Tottenham Hotspur offers a chance to build on the Tyne-Wear derby win at St James Park before the final international break.
