Fantasy Premier League Tips: 11 Essential Players You Must Consider

4. Alexis Sanchez (Arsenal)

Alexis Sanchez has joined Arsenal in a big-money move from Barcelona this summer and the exciting Chilean certainly looks a worthy candidate for your Fantasy Football team if his World Cup form is anything to go off. Sanchez shone in Brazil and helped fire his country to a surprise Round of 16 berth, coming through a group containing World and European champions Spain. The forward also excelled at Barcelona last season, scoring 19 La Liga goals, and he will be expected to carry his form for club and country with him to Emirates Stadium in 2014-15. Fantasy Premier League technically classes Sanchez as a midfielder when in reality he is a forward, meaning putting him in your midfield effectively allows you the rare option of having four strikers in your team. It will cost you a pretty penny to do so however because the former Barca man currently costs £10.5 million, though that valuation will undoubtedly rise once he starts sticking balls in the back of the net, meaning we could view that figure as something of a bargain come the end of the season.
