Widely regarded as one of the more underrated strikers in the Premier League, Roberto Firmino finished last season as the third best forward and eighth best player overall in the fantasy standings. He amassed 181 points, scoring 15 times and assisting eight more goals as part of a thrilling Liverpool side.

He also only picked up a single yellow card, which is a nice bonus for fantasy managers, and earned an impressive tally of 29 bonus points for good performances. In general, he's a very reliable player to have in your squad and always seems to rack up a nice number of assists to go along with his goals.

Liverpool are one of the most vibrant, attacking teams in the league and appear to have gotten stronger with some big money transfers over the summer. With Sadio Mané and Mohamed Salah by his side, Firmino stands to have another fantastic season and is actually quite a bargain at £9.5m, offering more potential value than the likes of Romelu Lukaku, Sergio Agüero, or Gabriel Jesus.
