Fan Danny Taylor is the punters' pick
Middlesbrough have been named as the new favourites with Sky Bet to win the inaugural FIFA Ultimate Quaran-Team competition, after winning their first-round tie with Huddersfield.
Instead of Lucas Nmecha, fan and FIFA player Danny Taylor is now representing Boro, and they’ve been cut from 33/1 into as short as 3/1.

That means they’re now favourites with Sky Bet, ahead of Nantes, Manchester City and Sheffield Wednesday.
Middlesbrough can still be backed at the best price of 6/1.
That’s due to the high influx of bets on Taylor-led Boro, who have attracted 38% of all bets on the competition, over the last 24 hours.
Oddschecker spokesperson Callum Wilson: “Middlesbrough's Championship campaign this season has been pretty miserable, but in the e-sports sphere, fans may still be given something to shout about.
“The Ultimate QuaranTeam is absolutely packed full of top-class FIFA talent, but Boro representative Danny Taylor will be looking to justify his favouritism and bring the virtual trophy back to the Riverside.”
