#2 Etienne Capoue, the unlikely goal getter for Watford this season

When most Fantasy Premier League managers were building their squads, not many would have selected central midfielder Etienne Capoue with the prediction that he wouldn't be part of Watford’s attacking prospects. They were wrong.

Following his opener against Southampton last week, he was at the right place again, controlling Adlene Guedioura’s cross before volleying the ball into the roof of the net. Troy Deeney deserves great credit for attracting right-back Branislav Ivanovic towards him in an attempt to get on the end of the cross.

The void left by Ivanovic was promptly taken advantage of by Capoue to give Walter Mazzarri’s side the lead, which they ultimately went on to squander.
