Are you ready for another exciting season of Fantasy Premier League? The new season kicks off tonight and managers everywhere are scrambling to put together their teams before the transfer deadline. It's a race against time as the deadline is set for 6:30pm, just before the season opener between Manchester United and Fulham at Old Trafford.
As we count down to the start of the season, let's take a look at ten budget-friendly options across different positions that could add great value to your squad. From goalkeepers to forwards, we've got you covered.
Let's start with goalkeepers. Crystal Palace's Dean Henderson is a solid choice at the price point of £4.5m. He managed to secure the number one spot last season and with Palace looking rejuvenated under new manager Oliver Glasner, early clean sheets could be on the cards.
Moving on to defenders, Taylor Harwood-Bellis is a promising option. The former Manchester City academy player spent last season on loan at Southampton and has now made a permanent move to the club. With a favourable run of fixtures to start the season, he could be a great value pick for your defense.
Valentin Barco of Brighton is another budget-friendly option at just £4m. The Argentine left-back has been impressive in pre-season friendlies and is expected to start the opening games with Pervis Estupinan still recovering from ankle surgery.
For midfielders, Morgan Rogers of Aston Villa is one to watch. After breaking into the first team towards the end of last season, he's now expected to have a more prominent role and has already scored three goals in pre-season. Another option is Antoine Semenyo of Bournemouth, who has been reclassified as a midfielder for this season. With the added bonus of clean sheet points, he could be a valuable addition to your squad.
In the forward position, Christopher Nkunku of Chelsea could be a steal at just £6.5m. After a promising pre-season under new manager Enzo Maresca, he's expected to be a regular starter. Emile Smith-Rowe of Arsenal is also worth considering, with many predicting a return to form for the academy graduate in his new club, Fulham.
Finally, let's talk about strikers. Joao Pedro of Brighton is looking to build on his impressive first season and could be a regular starter in the top-flight. He's also the designated penalty taker for the team. Another option is Chris Wood of Nottingham Forest, who had a successful season last year and is expected to lead the line in the opening games.
So there you have it, ten budget-friendly options to consider for your Fantasy Premier League team. As the season progresses, keep an eye out for emerging players who could provide great value for your squad. Good luck with your team!
