Fantasy Premier League Tips: 11 Players You Must Consider

11. Dimitri Payet (West Ham) - 7.5m

Dimitri Payet starts the list off, and at 7.5m for a player yet to grace the Premier League, that may even seem steep as opposed to a bargain, but think again. West Ham splashed £10.7 million on the flying French winger, and he was mightily impressive throughout his final season with Marseille, racking up 7 goals and 17 assists in 36 appearances. Going by the most basic FPL scoring rules, those three stats combined would take his 2014/15 total up to 157, meaning after adding in midfield clean sheets and bonus points for performance, Payet would be sailing well clear of Juan Mata, Yaya Toure and Raheem Sterling from last season. At 7.5m, he's a mid-high price midfielder who could be an excellent alternative to the usual names at the very top of the list.
