4. Ayoze Perez (Leicester City) - £6.5m

Despite spending years being linked to a big-money move to Barcelona, when Ayoze Perez finally did depart St. James' Park this summer, it was for Brendan Rodgers' Leicester City.

While Leicester may not quite have the same glitz and glamour as the Catalan giants, it's good news for Fantasy Football fans to see the talented Spaniard staying in the Premier League - particularly when he's available on FF for just £6.5 million.

The reason why Perez could be such an essential Fantasy player is down to the style and tactics of his Leicester manager. Rodgers always encourages a fluidity amongst his attacking players, and so Perez is likely to see himself in and around the opposition box for the majority of games.

When it comes down to it, Ayoze Perez is one of those players who are classified in Fantasy Football as a midfielder yet will more often than not be played as a forward.

For the goals and assists potential on offer with the ex-Newcastle man, £6.5 million represents great value for money.
