# 4. Cedric Soares- £4.5m

Cedric is a cheap option in defence.

Picking up a balanced defensive unit can be a tough job in the fantasy league. When users plan to save the funds for star attackers, they need to pick a few names unheard of in the defense.

However, if picked prudently, these names prove to be of great worth. Some players of mid-table clubs constantly deliver in the league and make a mark at the top-level.

One of such relatively cheap defenders is the Southampton full-back, Cedric Soares. The 26-year-old is a value pick going into the season.

The Portuguese appeared for his country at the world cup and has been a regular for the South coast side. He has impressed with both the club and country in the past year.

In a market where players like Antonio Rudiger and Serge Aurier cost £6.0 million, the player is a must-have. Evidently, he has been selected by more than 14.6% users as of now.

# 3. Ruben Neves- £5.0m

Ruben Neves for Wolves.

Wolves have a great set of players who have been worth watching lately. The side would be looking forward towards making an impact in the top-flight this season.

Of many of their players, one name from midfield, Ruben Neves has been earmarked by a lot of contestants. The player was on the radar of Liverpool this summer but the player didn't want to part ways with his current club.

The Portuguese playmaker was in sublime form in the second division. He likes to shoot from the distance and break the opposing defenses with his perfect through balls. He can be expected to bag 8-10 goals while providing for another 7-9 this season.

When compared to Son Heung-min (£8.5 million) and Henrikh Mkhitaryan (£7.0 million), the player is an absolute bargain. Almost 14.4% users have selected the player so far.

# 2. Ryan Sessegnon- £6.5m

The teenage sensation is worth picking,

Ryan Sessegnon is a name that has been on the lips of scouts and journalists for quite some time now. The youngster started as a left-back and is now being touted to be the next Gareth Bale.

Fulham have done quite well upto now keeping a hold of him. Teams like Manchester United, Liverpool and Spurs went looking for the player's signatures ahead of this summer.

It remains to be seen if he can carry his form into the Premier League where the competition is absolutely cut-throat.

The 18-year-old is a cheaper alternative to the likes of Riyad Mahrez (£9 million), Raheem Sterling (£11 million) or Anthony Martial (£7.5 million).

He has made it into 11.2% of the teams so far and the number is likely to rise in the coming days.

# 1. Jorginho - £5.0m

Sarri's midfield maestro.

Jorginho, the Italian midfielder who made the headlines with his stellar displays in Serie A. The 26-year-old was a target for Manchester clubs for a larger part of the 2017/18 season.

However, the player eventually joined Chelsea to be reunited with his Napoli boss, Maurizio Sarri. Jorginho plays in the heart of central midfield. His passing accuracy is something very remarkable and he has impressed in the pre-season with the Blues.

The midfielder possesses the ability to bypass the defences with his looping balls over the top. That would see him adding to his assist tally.

He is a key player and an affordable pick against the likes of Naby Keita (£7.5 million) and Aaron Ramsay (£7.5 million).

Jorginho is a key player to watch out for and has been selected by 8.1% of all participants so far. His points could make a significant difference in one's ranking.
