Fantasy Premier League Tips: 11 Best Cheap Players

6. Midfielder: Michael Carrick - £6 Million

Michael Carrick Michael Carrick isn't going to get you a great deal of goals but he is quietly effective in the centre of the park. Nominated for the PFA Player of the Year Award last season, Carrick silently pulled the strings for the Red Devils as they went on to lift their 20th Premier League title. Consistently underrated, Carrick didn't get nearly as many kudos for his performances which is reflected by the fact he is just £6 million on Fantasy Football - one of the cheapest midfielders in the game. And you could take advantage of that by picking him in your side. Carrick is defensively minded and is a handy player to have for clean sheet bonuses, while he's a guaranteed starter. The England international played the full 90 minutes in 88% of United's fixtures last season, making him reliable, while his disciplinary record is also exemplary.
