Fantasy Premier League 2019: 5 Best Points-Per-Pound Buys

2. Raúl Jiménez (Wolves) - £7.5m

Many may have been sceptical about including Wolves players in their Fantasy Football sides last season, yet by the end of the 2018/19 season so many had Raul Jimenez leading their strikeforce.

With 181 points to his name, Jimenez ended the campaign with the third most points of any forward in the league. To be specific, the only forward options to bag Fantasy managers more points than the Mexico international were Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Sergio Aguero.

Jimenez scored more points than the likes of Harry Kane, Jamie Vardy, Alexandre Lacazette, Roberto Firmino, and Romelu Lukaku last season - and his £7.5 million price tag means he's still a cheaper option for your Fantasy team than any of those other strikers.

The arrival of Patrick Cutrone from AC Milan means that Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo will have more forward options available to him - and at £6 million, Cutrone himself could represent a bargain if he hits the ground running - but with Jimenez having proved his ability in the Premier League, he's a fantastic value-for-money striking option.
