Fantasy Premier League- 7 best budget options after Gameweek 1

Mane leads the points department but doesn't come cheap

#1 Callum Wilson (£6) - Bournemouth Fw

Wilson can be a goal machine when in form

Wilson was a goal machine in the Cherries' promotion season 4 years back and was highly talked about for his Premier League prospects. He never did reach his goalscoring prowess after being hampered by injuries but has progressively gotten better every season. Who knows if this might be the season when Wilson shows the EPL what he is all about.

Scoring a goal and assisting another in the first game, Wilson's total might have been higher if it wasn't for the missed penalty. Still, if his performance is anything to go by, he looks to be in pole position to continue his goal scoring exploits. Wilson currently rides at the top of the FPL threat index ahead of the likes of Mane and Salah.

That might not be the case for too long but at such a cheap price for a forward and with a favourable run of fixtures, Wilson might just be the man to turn to.
