#1 Raheem Sterling (Manchester City)
Raheem Sterling had 18 goals & 11 assists last season in the Premier League. He was a part of more than 30% squads and became a favorite at the end of the season. Sterling scored an amazing goal in Manchester City's first Premier League game against Arsenal.
He had 7 points in the first FPL game week. He didn't have too many points but performed really well. His passing accuracy was at 80%. He was dispossessed 5 times in the game and won just 4 duels out of 16. His current value is £11m.
Many players would not want him right now. But looking at City's upcoming games, Sterling could really get going. They play Huddersfield (H), Wolves (A) & Newcastle (H) in their next 3 fixtures. City should have no issues getting all the 9 points.
Sterling is likely to start majority of the games, and he could be your prime midfielder in the weeks to come.
I would also like to mention a few more players you can get for your midfield:
1) Roberto Pereyra (Watford) - £6m
2) Ruben Neves (Wolves) - £5.1m
3) Paul Pogba (Man United) - £8.1m
4) Pedro (Chelsea) - £6.5m
5) Bernardo Silva (Man City) - £7.5m
