On paper, Fulham have enjoyed a very successful transfer window so far, with Jean Michaël Seri standing out as one of the best signings. The Ivorian international had drawn attention from a lot of big clubs around Europe, so it was quite a shock to see him sign for a promoted club, but Seri will be guaranteed a starting spot with Fulham and can play a major role in the club's quest for survival.

Seri represents a low-investment, high-potential pick in Fantasy Premier League. He costs just £5.5m and can offer a great return of points for such a small fee, having made 65 chances for Nice last year and taken 35 shots. He scored twice in total and notched six assists in 2018, but in the 2016-17 season he scored seven times and made nine more.

Fulham like to play a 4-3-3 formation and Seri should sit in the middle of the park, with plenty of opportunities to make chances for the forwards. He might also take free kicks, giving him even more potential, so there's every chance Seri could be one of the best value midfielders in fantasy football this year.
