Here, we've scoured through the players available for Fantasy Football selection and have picked 11 absolute bargains - as per the price listings on the official Premier League Fantasy Football site - that should help in your quest for FF dominance.
11. Angus Gunn (Southampton) - £4.5 Million
After signing from Manchester City for £13.5 million last summer, many had high hopes that Angus Gunn would relish the prospect of first-team football at St. Mary’s.
He did, but it took a little while for the 6’5” stopper to cement himself as Saints’ number 1.
By the time that the 2018/2019 campaign came to a close, Gunn was Ralph Hasenhuttl’s first choice goalkeeper.
With Hasenhuttl now having had a full pre-season with his Southampton players, many are expecting the side to be a vastly different beast to the one that was involved in a relegation battle for the majority of last season. And key to that is a sturdy backline.
For £4.5 million and nailed-on to be a starter for Hasenhuttl’s men, Angus Gunn looks like a smart bet to have in your Fantasy Football squad – either as your starting ‘keeper or as your back-up option.
With great reflexes and good at one-on-ones, there’s a solid chance that Gunn will wrack up a good amount of bonus points if Saints are indeed going to impress this year.
