2016/17 English Premier League Season Preview: Midfielders

On this week's podcast -- "Eriksen, Really? Eriksen?" -- the boys compare and contrast their top 30 midfielders for fantasy soccer in the upcoming season. The midfield is a loaded part of the field for fantasy soccer. Goals and assists both play a role in the scoring. With so many players to choose from, the names are the same, but how much variety in the rankings did the three hosts have in their lists?
