9. Javier Hernandez - £7m

At 29 years old and having scored only 11 league goals last season for Leverkusen, Chicarito might look like an expensive gamble for West Ham, but they need strikers with Andy Carroll still enjoying the company of the medical staff way too much. And in Fantasy Premier League, the little Mexican costs a very reasonable £7m.

That might reflect the fact that he's still something of an unknown quantity in the Premier League, despite his time with Man Utd, but if West Ham can get him on the ball in dangerous areas, they've got an incredibly gifted poacher who will offer a gamut of goals. There's a reason their fans are so excited, and you should be too by that price tag.

Perhaps don't expect him to get Harry Kane numbers, but for £7m, the expectations shouldn't be that high anyway.
