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

8. Issa Diop (West Ham) - £4.5 Million

West Ham had a very typical West Ham season in 2018/2019 – some magnificent highs, some horrendous lows, and the brilliance and sh*thousery of Marko Arnautovic.

One of the Hammers major plus points from that campaign, though, was Issa Diop.

Signed from Toulouse for a cool £22 million, the centre-half proved himself to be a huge favourite amongst West Ham fans with his dogged commitment, explosive tackling and aerial prowess. In fact, so impressive was the 22-year-old during that debut season, West Ham brass have put a £75 million price tag on his head as they look to fend off potential suitors.

Sure, the Irons aren’t particular famous for keeping things tight at the back, but Diop is an absolute snip at just £4.5 million.
