Another player from a promoted side, Wolves' Diogo Jota was a huge part of the West Midlands club's surge up the Championship last season. Jota scored 17 times in the league and assisted five more as one of the EFL's most impressive overall players.

The level of play in the Premier League is a different class to the Championship, so it remains to be seen whether or not Jota can continue that same form in the top flight, but he's a highly talented player and, despite being only 21, he does have experience of playing in the Portuguese top division and Champions League, having spent time with Paços Ferreira and Porto before his move to Wolverhampton.

In the Championship, there were many occasions when Jota really looked a cut above most other players on the pitch and there's a good chance he can do very well at the top level. Despite being classed as a midfielder on the fantasy site, he's mostly used in a front three and is usually his team's main goal threat. For the modest sum of £6.5m, Jota could provide a lot of points from goals and assists.
