Fantasy Premier League Tips: 11 Most Popular Buys

11. Michu (Swansea) - 18.7% Of Teams Selected

Michu had a fantastic season last time out, and purchasers are rewarded with a list of impressive statistics on the Swansea attacking midfielder. However, he's now sharing goalscoring duties with Wilfried Bony, so it'll be interesting to see how that impacts on his goal count. He played the full match last weekend, so starting isn't an issue. For £9 million however, you need to be certain he'll not only play, but contribute. There's evidence that might be curtailed this season. Nevertheless, he has pedigree, so he may well be worth a shot.
