Fantasy Premier League Tips: 11 Cheap Players For 2019/20

by Andrew Pollard

1. Billy Sharp (Sheffield United) - £6 Million

Billy Sharp scores goals. Lots of goals. All kinds of goals. Sheffield-born goals.

He may be 33 years of age and doesn't have the glamour and glitz of your big-name forwards, but the Sheffield United striker has made a career of scoring goals wherever he's been. In fact, since re-joining the Blades in 2015, Sharp has bagged 87 goals in just 164 appearances.

Of course, scoring goals in League One or the Championship is far different to scoring goals in the Premier League, but Sharp's old-fashioned forward play could work wonders against defenders used to playing against a different sort of striker.

Not just is the ex-Southampton man a threat from open play, though, but he also takes penalties and the occasional free kick.

There is nobody more key to Sheffield United's hopes of Premier League survival this season than Billy Sharp, and he could be a brilliant option to have in your Fantasy Football team if you're looking for a cheap third striker who's guaranteed game time.
