Fantasy Premier League 2018/19: 5 great value midfielders for only £4.5 million

#4 Dale Stephens - Brighton

Stephens assures starts and steady points

If you prefer an assured starter who promises points week in and out and comes up with those rare attacking returns once in a while, Stephens is the one to go for. The Brighton midfielder is the highest selected player at this price bracket by some distance (12%).

He played all but two games for the Seagulls last term assisting three goals and providing a points return of 87. That is not a lot by any means and it is what you get for a safe bet at this price range.

Stephens plays as a defensive midfielder in a team that doesn't usually manage too many successful passes or tackles. He rarely marauds forward and barring a surprise his total might remain close to his previous season.

Stephens is a classic buy and a forgetful option who offers you extra funds if nothing else with the points up top a bonus. If this suits your requirements then it would be better to pick him over other similar types of midfielders at big clubs as he saves significant funds.
