#6 Leighton Baines - £5.5m
Leighton Baines’ value peaked at £8.1m in the 2010/11 campaign when he was at his devastating best on the left flank for Everton. His price has dropped rapidly since then and is now considered a huge bargain buy.
Priced at £6m last season, Baines had a disastrous 2015/16 campaign which saw his stock drop further. Currently at £5.5m, he could very well find his form this season under new manager Ronald Koeman.
Koeman is a manager that likes to go forward and use the wings and Baines is expected to play a major role in such a system. Baines, being the dedicated corner and penalty taker is expected to provide a high number of goals and assists. With Lukaku still in the club, Everton still have a target man to get on the end of Baines’ crosses.
With a favourable early run of fixtures, the Englishman is a must have early on in the season.
