Fantasy Football - 7 Players From Promoted Teams Who Are Worth A Punt This Season
Wilder, Farke and Smith are out to show you it's not always about the top four.
It's that time of year again where footy fans across the world don their managerial caps and try to prove their mates - and themselves - that they are the oracle of all things football.
That's right, it's time to settle on those formations, scoop up those bargains and plan your wildcard, as the fantasy football season gets underway this weekend.
An ever growing phenomenon with multiple platforms offering their own versions of game-play and ways to win, 'FF' as it can be commonly known as, arguably stresses fans out more than their actual team's displays.
Choosing between the big money players, umming and arring over what new recruits might make an immediate impact and scrutinising last season's form have become the norm for the average football fan in July and early August.
But it's not always about just agonising over those players at the very top, and sometimes it's more than worth taking a punt on players who have just proven themselves in the Championship.
This season sees the return to the Premier League of Sheffield United, Norwich City and Aston Villa, and there's plenty to choose from if you fancy taking your chances on some relative Premier League unknowns this season.
7. Jack Grealish - Aston Villa
An obvious starting point for many who dabbled their toe in Championship football last season, but Villa midfielder Grealish could be a must have.
Everything Villa do good comes through the young attacking star, and it's an age old cliche, but if Grealish played well last year, then so did Villa.
The obvious step up to the Premier League is a challenge for all players in promoted sides, but Grealish should find it easier than most, given his experience of the top flight already when he first broke into the first-team at Villa Park.
Blessed with immense technical ability and one of those players who can seemingly unlock the door out of nothing, plenty of fantasy players should be eyeing Grealish.
Six goals last season and seven assists to alongside it mark the 23-year-old as a real one to watch in the 2019/20 season, with England honours surely not far away for Villa Park's favourite son.
