Even Cardiff City's Neil Etheridge Benched Neil Etheridge

Neil Etheridge missed out on some big, big points.

The Cardiff City keeper starred between the sticks against Newcastle United over the weekend, keeping a clean-sheet as he saved a last-minute penalty from Kenedy.

His performance earned him some lovely points on Fantasy Football.

We're talking 16 points which includes bonus points for his heroics in stoppage time.

However, not everyone benefited from his goal-keeping brilliance because plenty of users had him on their bench.

Even Etheridge had himself on his bench.

His Fantasy team has surfaced online and he omitted himself from the starting XI, placed on the bench with a nice point tally which won't be added onto his game week score.

The Filipino international opted for Manchester United's David De Gea. But he bagged a measly point after his sides 3-2 defeat to Brighton on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Cardiff resume their Premier League campaign on Saturday against Huddersfield Town.

Anyone transferring in Etheridge? Let us know.
