FPL peg Reyna's value at £5mValuation on similar level to new team-matesElanga highest-scoring Forest player so far(C)Getty ImagesWHAT HAPPENED?
A tempting pricetag of £5m has been slapped on the USMNT midfielder, a figure that puts him in the same range as his new team-mates. Winger Anthony Elanga, available at £5.1m, has racked up a team-high 77 points, while Morgan Gibbs-White has scored 68 points despite his higher price point of £5.7m.

The £5m valuation does, though, put Reyna clear as the most expensive American on the game. He just edges out Bournemouth's Tyler Adams, who has yet to play this season but is available to buy at £4.9m.
The remaining USMNT contingent is made up of goalkeepers and defenders who tend to carry a lower transfer value in the popular game.

This season's fantasy trailblazers are Liverpool's Mohamed Salah and Tottenham's Son Heung-min who have scored 156 and 136 points. Salah is soon set to return to the Reds after Egypt were knocked out of the African Cup of Nations, but Son is continuing to represent South Korea at the Asian Cup.
WHAT NEXT FOR GIO REYNA?
FPL players have until 11am UK time on Saturday morning to decide whether they want to take the plunge and include Reyna in their line ups for his potential debut against Bournemouth on Sunday.
