Fantasy Premier League 2020/21: Top 10 bargains

Fantasy Premier League is officially back for the 2020/21 season, ladies and gentleman.

Players can now select their squad of 15 using a budget of £100m.

I've taken a look at every players' prices and listed ten Premier League stars that I consider to be bargains for the upcoming season.

Nathan Ferguson - Defender - Crystal Palace - £4.0m

The highly-rated defender joined Crystal Palace from West Bromwich Albion in the summer.

While he is not a guaranteed starter, he represents low risk, high return due to his price tag.

Tariq Lamptey - Defender - Brighton - £4.5m

The English full-back impressed for the Seagulls when given a run in the side towards the end of last season.

He likes to attack and could contribute to a number of goals in the upcoming season.

Ruben Vinagre - Defender - Wolves - £4.5m

With Jonny out for the foreseeable future with an ACL injury, Vinagre is set to start the season as Wolves' first-choice left-back.

He is a no-brainer to get in your side should Wolves choose not to sign a left-back in the transfer window.

Charlie Taylor - Defender - Burnley - £4.5m

As you've probably already established, there is so many good defender choices for £4.5m and lower.

Burnley had one of the best defensive records in the league last season and Taylor is set to be their starter at left-back.

Allan Saint-Maximin - Midfielder - Newcastle - £5.5m

After a slow start to last season, the French winger came into his own with some scintillating performances in 2020.

He only contributed to eight goals in the Premier League in 2019/20 but I fully expect him to smash that number in the upcoming season.

Phil Foden - Midfielder - Manchester City - £6.5m

I expect Foden to have a real breakout season. The 20-year-old flourished when given a chance by Pep Guardiola after lockdown.

With David Silva having left the club, Foden is now primed to play an even bigger role in 2020/21.


Mason Greenwood - Midfielder - Manchester United - £7.5m

The selection of Greenwood primarily rests on what Man United manage to do in the transfer market.

If they manage to sign Jadon Sancho then I wouldn't put Greenwood in my side. However, if they fail in their pursuit of the Dortmund star, Greenwood is a must have.

Greenwood averaged more than eight points-per-game last season. With him now being a midfielder, he gets a point more for a goal and also gets a point for United's clean sheets.

Hakim Ziyech - Midfielder - Chelsea - £8.0m

In 35 games for Ajax last season, Ziyech contributed directly to 29 goals.

Picking him in your side could be considered a bit of a risk as we don't know whether Ziyech will be able to cope with the demands of the Premier League.

But he could thrive at Chelsea with Frank Lampard splashing the cash this summer.

Alexsander Mitrovic - Forward - Fulham - £6.0m

Mitrovic managed 11 goals for Fulham in their last Premier League season, which is a decent return.

Fresh off winning the Champions Golden Boot, I expect him to hit double figures for Fulham this campaign.

Michail Antonio - Forward - West Ham - £6.5m

Depite missing much of the campaign, Antonio managed 10 goals in 24 Premier League games for West Ham.

After finishing last season on fire in front of goal, he is undoubtedly one of the best forward options on Fantasy Premier League.

Eastleigh 6-4 CPR All Stars

This afternoon, CPR, a team who have only played 4 games together to date, came up against an academy side who train day in, day out, week in, week out. Eastleigh, a team who's first team play in the 6th tier of English football, were the opponents for the second round of the Hampshire county cup, and on paper; were expected to smash us. The team lined up as follows: GK: Kevany LB: Barby CB: Hastings CB: Ross RB: Marsh CM: Rolt CM: Adolphous LM: Finlay RM: Stroud CF: Rice ST : McMillan Subs: Parslow, Honeywood, Nott, Dunnage The only absentee for the big game was Lloyd-Bisley, who has been ruled out for around 6 weeks with a broken foot. But his absence was covered by the returning Dunnage, who had shaken off a groin injury, and Honeywood, who was also making his first appearance since his move from Nottingham . Curley Park would've been forgiven for sitting back and absorbing pressure, but they got off to an electrifying start to break the deadlock after only 2 m...

(GOLF) BMW PGA Championship Betting Tips

BMW PGA Championship Betting Tips Last year's champion, Chris Wood *Odds provided by Sky Bet Fransesco Molinari - 14/1:  The Italian recorded four straight top nine finishes in Virginia Water between 2012 - 2015, before a T55 finish last year snapped that streak. He has been in great form recently which suggests he could record another high finish this week, having finished in a T6 at The Players Championship in his last start. Chris Wood - 33/1:  The defending champion should not be ruled out for winning the title two years in a row. In addition to his win here in 2016, he finished in a T4 in 2015 and a T21 in 2014. In his last solo start just over a month ago, he finished in a T4 at the Volvo China. At 33/1 he represents great value. Shane Lowry - 40/1:  Lowry was one of the favourites to lift the title last year, but crumbled on the first two days, leading to a disappointing missed cut. However, in the past five years before that, he had recorded...

Arsenal in talks to sell midfielder to Serie A club

Image
Lucas Torreira's time at Arsenal looks as if it is coming to an end. The Uruguayan signed for the Gunners in 2018 in a £26m move from Sampdoria. He quickly became a fan-favourite with some combative performances in the middle of the park. However, he failed to build on his promising start and was only used sparingly by Mikel Arteta at the back end of the 2019/20 season. And now, acording to Sky Sports , the Spanish manager is looking to cash in on the 24-year-old. Arsenal are reportedly in talks with Torino over a season long loan move for Torreira. The Serie A club would then have the option to make the move permanent. Torino would pay Arsenal £22m over two instalments. Fiorentina are also believed to be interested in his services. The funds acquired for selling Torreira could then go to signing a replacement. Arsenal have been linked with Atletico's Thomas Partey in the last few months. Atletico will only let the Ghanaian leave if Arsenal activate his £45m release clause. It ...
