Fantasy Premier League Tips: 15 Best Point-Scoring Midfielders For 2017/18

5. Eden Hazard

Club: Chelsea

Cost: £10.5m

He might not be up there with Cesc Fabregas in terms of assists, but with Chelsea likely to field a new-look central midfield this season, Eden Hazard will probably play a lot more games than the Spaniard. Well, at least after he returns from injury in September.

Once more, last season Hazard was a dream attacking option for Chelsea, notching 9 assists and scoring 16 as well as creating a total of 89 chances - by far the highest in his team. He's a little shot-shy compared to the others on this list with 76 fired off, but his unselfishness is very key to those assist stats, and a haul of 16 goals is still impressive stuff.

Inevitably, he costs a lot - but it's dependable expense rather than being over-inflated - but he's about as close to a sure thing as you're going to get.
