Delivers seven crosses in loss McNeil took two shots on target, created one chance, delivered seven crosses, won one tackle and made one interception in Sunday's 1-0 loss versus Sheffield United.

Impact McNeil was not able to find the back of the net in the last game of the season but he still managed to rack up offensive stats due to his role on set pieces. It shouldn't be long before he makes the English national team, though two goals, five assists and the fourth-most crosses in the Premier League this season weren't enough this time around. At least from a fantasy perspective, we're nearing the time where McNeil should be able to rank much closer to the league leaders in assists each season, so a greater influence on the scoresheet should bolster his outlook even more. It will also help if there's more consistent production from Chris Wood and the other strikers, though not everything is within the scope of McNeil's control in a small-budget club.
