Fantasy Premier League Tips: Five bargains ahead of new season

The
majority
of
owners’
£100million
funds
is
set
to
be
spent
on
some
premium
players
but
managers
also
have
to
build
teams
by
balancing
budgets,
meaning
they
have
to
pick
up
some
bargain
names
as
well.

The
potential
bargains
always
breakthrough
within
weeks
of
the
season
offset,
but
spotting
them
from
day
one
can
give
you
a
big
advantage
over
others.

So
here
are
the
five
players
who
could
prove
to
be
shrewd
investments
in
the
long
run,
this
season:

1.
Daniel
Bachmann
–
Watford,
£4.5m
(GK)

Watford
conceded
only
30
goals
in
Championship
last
season
and
the
Austrian
keeper
was
one
of
the
biggest
reasons
behind
it.
Although
competing
at
Premier
League
will
be
a
different
game
altogether,
even
making
more
saves
could
hand
plenty
of
points.

2.
Ivan
Toney
–
Brentford,
£6.5m
(ST)

The
English
forward
scored
a
record-breaking
31
goals
in
the
Championship
last
season
and
is
poised
for
an
exciting
return
in
Premier
League
now.
The
Bees
have
had
an
attacking
approach
towards
the
game
and
it
could
help
the
striker
deliver
a
more
positive
return.
At
this
price
segment,
he
could
be
a
game-changer.

3.
Emile
Smith
Rowe-
Arsenal,
£5.5m
(MID)

The
20-year-old
should
be
the
centre
of
Arsenal’s
creative
line
this
season
and
is
one
of
the
rare
attacking
midfielders
who
are
available
for
such
a
lower
price.
He
is
expected
to
surpass
last
season’s
total
of
two
goals
and
four
assists.

4.
Lewis
Dunk
–
Brighton
£5m
(DEF)

Despite
finishing
16th
in
the
league,
Brighton
only
conceded
46
goals
last
season.
The
Seagulls
captain
helped
his
side
keep
a
total
of
11
clean
sheets
last
campaign
and
now
he
is
available
for
a
bargain
price
of
£5
million.

5.
Raphinha
–
Leeds,
£6.5m
(MID)

The
Leeds
winger
proved
to
be
one
of
the
most
creative
players
last
season
and
even
after
a
£1m
hike
he
still
looks
to
be
under-priced.
After
adapting
well
in
the
English
culture,
he
could
improve
his
tally
further
this
season.
