Fantasy Premier League 2017/18: Top 5 cheap picks for Gameweek 12

Southampton v Burnley - Premier League
Burnley are currently 7th in the Premier League

#1 Fernandinho (Midfielder-Manchester City)

SSC Napoli v Manchester City - UEFA Champions League
Fernandinho has been a different player under Pep

Price: 5.2

Fixtures: Leicester City, Huddersfield Town, Southampton.

The Manchester City midfield maestro makes his second appearance on this list as he continues to impress, providing an assist against Arsenal in the last gameweek. Overall, the Brazilian has accumulated 2 goals and 2 assists in his last four games which is not bad for a player valued at just 5.2.

He is the cheapest regular starter you can get from the rampant Manchester City team who are looking too good for the Premier League this season. Pep Guardiola has not only revolutionised Manchester City but also the career of Fernandinho who lived in the shadow of Yaya Toure prior to Pep's arrival.

City's opposition for the next four gameweeks is rated equal or lower than three, a run that should be adding a ton more to city's 38 goals scored this season. While defensive midfielders should generally be avoided on FPL, Fernandinho is an exception, as he lets you take advantage of City's superiority.
