Players to Watch

Ellis Simms (Coventry)

Ellis Simms is a 23-year-old English professional who plays as a striker for his team. In the second round match of the EFL Cup against Oxford United, Simms scored the deciding goal. Also in the last match against Watford, Simms’ goal helped Coventry to draw the match.

He had scored several goals last season as well. He can create a difference against their upcoming opponents. 

Brennan Johnson (Tottenham)

Brennan Johnson, a 23-year-old Wales national, is an amazing player to watch. He usually plays as a winger but sometimes as a forward as well. Last season, he scored five goals and assisted 10.
