There are plenty of top goalscoring midfielder who will rack up more points than strikers this season, with Alexis Sanchez and Eden Hazard two of the prime contenders. That takes the strain off signing two or three incredible forwards, who tend to be more costly than players further back on the pitch. That increases the breathing space for experimenting up top, and Diafra Sakho should immediately be on your shopping list. The West Ham striker is listed at just 6.5m, with over 20 more expensive strikers available. He bagged 10 goals in 20 games last time around despite injuries, but now West Ham have strengthened their attacking force, he'll get more chances, more appearances, and more goals. He could be an explosive addition to your team this season, and at that price, it would be ludicrous to let him fly past without him even being considered.
