4. Midfielder: Craig Gardner - £5.5 Million
Sunderland didn't enjoy the brightest of seasons last term and retained their Premier League status by the skin of their teeth in a campaign that almost saw them relegated to the Championship. There were a few chinks of light shining through however, one of which was midfielder Craig Gardner. Gardner was one of the Black Cat's standout performers last season and finished as the North East club's second-highest goalscorer with 6 strikes to his name and another two in the League Cup, taking his tally to eight and just behind Steven Fletcher in the standings. And that's not a bad return at all for a midfielder, let alone one who only costs £5.5 million on Fantasy Football. It is important to note however that Gardner is suspended for the opening round of fixtures.
