Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez has just returned to the Premier League after spending the past three years in Spain and Germany. The former Manchester United poacher is coming off a moderately successful season for Bayer Leverkusen in which he notched 11 goals from 26 league games, but the club were extremely disappointing on the whole, falling to 12th after 2015-16's third place finish.

He was never Man United's main man, but Hernandez's Premier League goals per minute ratio speaks for itself. The Mexican has averaged a goal every 130 minutes throughout his time in England - the sixth highest in the league's history. He almost guarantees a consistent end product, and he's a Fantasy bargain at just £7m for 2017-18.

There's little doubt that Hernandez will be West Ham's first choice next season. Last year's top scorer, Michail Antonio, is a winger by trade, Andy Carroll's fitness can't be trusted, and the club's other forwards failed to deliver. He might not be the most well-rounded player in the league, but provided that the Hammers' creators feed him with enough chances, Hernandez is going to score bucketloads for Slaven Bilic's side.
