Midfielders are the most vital cogs in the wheel for Fantasy Premier League team managers as they can collect more points than players playing in other positions due to the fact that they get awarded with a higher number of points for scoring goals and also possess the capability to attain bonus points for clean sheets. Another fact that helps is most of the midfielders in Fantasy Premier League are priced lower than the forwards, allowing managers to pick their favourite players without having to strain their budgets.
This season too, there’s a brilliant array of midfield talent at the disposal of FPL managers within the 8.0m mark; players that are likely to shape up the season for their owners, and almost certain to do justice to their price tags. Let’s take a look at the best 5 options available in midfield within 8.0m in this season’s Fantasy Premier League.
The Foxes’ new recruit is set to become one of the most sought after midfielders in this season’s FPL. Thanks to his fantastic performance last season in which he notched up three goals and five assists in thirteen games and a very modest price tag of just £6.5m, Tielemans is certainly going to sell like hotcakes in this season’s FPL.
Barkley has shown tremendous form in Chelsea’s pre-season fixtures and having netted in each of Chelsea’s last three matches, along with three assists in as many games, Barkley is now almost guaranteed to start in Chelsea’s season opener against Manchester United. Chelsea manager Frank Lampard seems to trust him with the set-pieces as well, which makes him a must-have at a meagre £6.0m.
Zaha set the stage on fire last season, scoring ten goals and eleven assists for the Eagles, and whether he plays for Arsenal, Crystal Palace or Everton this season does not really matter to the FPL managers because, at £7.0m, Willy is a steal.
The Frenchman enjoyed a flourishing pre-season campaign, form-wise, over the past few weeks. He chipped in with an assist in United’s shootout win against AC Milan in Cardiff.
He scored a total of ten goals last season and turned on the style especially after Ole took over. Some fireworks can be expected from him down the left flank this season. Martial is definitely a smart pick at £7.5m.
Bernardo needs no introduction, does he? He just keeps getting better as far as his performances are concerned, therefore you can be assured of goals, assists and bonus points consistently over the season if you are willing to splurge just £8.0m over this maverick from Manchester City.
