Fantasy Premier League Scout: Tips for Gameweek 1

Midfielders

 David Silva is the first midfielder that I draft into my side. Worth just 9 million, David Silva, according to me, could be the best buy of this season. His trickery, composure and passing range make him one of the most fearful midfielders in the business.

Eden Hazard is my second pick for the midfielder slot. While he was seriously off colour in the last season, the Euros and the pre season has helped him find that long lost form that made him one of the most feared attacking midfielders in the world. He has fallen down the pecking order with just 17% managers opting for him; he could be your trump card for this season.

Dele Alli came to the forefront in the last season when he and Kane joined hands to push Tottenham over the line for the Premier League Title. But Alli got banned for the last few games and Tottenham finished 3^rd, thereby emphasizing Alli’s importance.

Roberto Firmino is exciting, he plays with pace and trickery and with the influx of Mane into the side, he will be able to create and score more for Liverpool. This exciting Liverpool side under Jurgen Klopp should be full of goals and life and I am sure Firmino will have a huge role to play in it.

My last midfielder will be N’Golo Kante, which purely a value buy and I expect him to provide me with an average of 3 points all season. Kante is not the ideal ‘Fantasy’ player as there are no points for the influence a player has on the outcome of the game and neither are there any points for the number of interceptions made.
