15 Budget options for the 2017-18 Fantasy premier league season

3) Cédric Soares

Cédric Soares

Club: Southampton F.C

Price: £4.5m

At £4.5m, Cédric Soares is a good squad option. Another Southampton player, the Portuguese is a solid performer- very good defensively and a decent crosser of the ball. Along with his fellow Southampton defender Bertrand, he is a good option to fill your squad with and can be occasionally rotated.

The former Sporting Lisbon right-back has been linked with a move away from St Mary's, and expect rumours to further intensify as he might be a player in demand due to the dearth of solid right backs in the premier league.

4) Patrick van Aanholt

Patrick van Aanholt chipped in with 5 goals last season

Club: Crystal Palace F.C.

Price: £5.5m

Last season, Crystal Palace fielded one of the best-left flanks in the league. Being defensively solid and ably supporting, Patrick van Aanholt, last season was a good one for the Dutch fullback.

Signed by Crystal Palace from Sunderland, van Aanholt has made the left back position his own. He can also provide good crosses for Christian Benteke who happens to be one of the best strikers in the air in the league, so one can expect some assists from the Dutchman.

Therefore, reasons for his selection in one's fantasy team are his set-piece threat and excellent crossing as he is not seen as the best defender but is certainly useful as a player in your fantasy team as a defender having an output of a winger in certain games. He packs an interesting tactical option for all the players.
