As the 2019/20 Premier League season edges ever closer on the horizon, many people are just as excited about the return of Fantasy Football.

These days, Fantasy Football is just as popular as the beautiful game itself, with wannabe managers getting to put together their own personal teams in the hopes of dominating their mates.

Of course, key to any Fantasy success is making the most of the £100 million budget afforded to managers as they look to amass a squad of 15 players. And when looking to get the most bang for your buck, that's when it's a good idea to be looking at those players - the ones who may not necessarily be classed as megastars - that offer a Fantasy Football manager the best value for money.

We can all easily predict that players like Sergio Aguero and Mo Salah will score a Fantasy manager a shed-load of points, but those players come at a premium cost.

Looking to flesh out your squad away from the big-money superstars such as Aguero and Salah, then? Here are five players who could offer amazing value for money in the 2019/20 season.

5. Willy Boly (Wolves) - £5m

Last season, Nuno Espirito Santo's Wolves impressed many as they brought some fantastic attacking football to the Premier League.

Not only did the Wolverhampton outfit bring attacking flair to the Prem, they also offered some fantastic defensive options for Fantasy Football managers. And one such defender that managers should be weighing up ahead of this new Fantasy season is Willy Boly.

The Frenchman may more often than not be utilised as a centre-back, but he offers plenty for Fantasy managers looking at cheaper options for their backline.

Boly finished the 2018/19 campaign with 120 Fantasy points, which in turn made him Wolves' second-highest-scoring defender behind Matt Doherty's 144 points.

While Doherty will likely be the top-scoring Wolves defender this season - his attacking presence offering huge potential for assists and goals - Boly offers better value for your Fantasy Football money, with his £5 million cost being £1 million less than Doherty.
