Fantasy Premier League Tips: 11 Essential Players You Must Consider
6. Yaya Toure (Manchester City)
Onto midfield now and one of the best midfielders you could sign this summer is Yaya Toure. The Ivorian enjoyed the most prolific season in front of goal of his career to date, firing in an incredible 20 Premier League goals in 35 appearances for Manchester City to help fire his side to title glory. Toure was a bulldozer last season leaving a trail of devastation in his wake with his rampaging bursts through midfield and killer eye for goal, and was a deserved inductee in the PFA Premier League Team of the Year for 2013-14. And despite a somewhat petty squabble with the club earlier this summer over the omission of a birthday cake, he is again expected to light it up this season. He's the most expensive midfielder on Fantasy Premier League however, costing a wallet-busting £11 million, but if he enjoyed anywhere near as much potency in front of goal as he did last term, he will be worth every single penny.
