Fantasy Premier League 2016 Tips: 10 Things To Consider From Week 1

8. Andre Ayew And Saido Mane Look Like Potential 'Must Haves'

Swansea were brilliant against Chelsea and if they can continue that form they will be challenging for the Europa League spots again this season. New signing Andre Ayew scored on his debut against the Champions and showed fabulous skill, work-rate and composure in front of goal. Garry Monk signed the Ghanaian attacker but he will cost you 7.0 million in the Fantasy League if you think he is the real deal. He certainly did not look like a one-week-wonder. Sadio Mane only scored two points this week as Southampton drew 2-2 with Newcastle United but the midfielder looks to be the Saints' main attacking midfield threat. At £8.0 million he isn't cheap but could be a genuine replacement for a big hitter such as Cesc Fabregas or Memphis Depay if they don't start earning big points throughout the first three or four weeks.
