Fantasy Premier League Tips: 5 midfielders you should pick this season

#3 Eden Hazard - £10.5

Will Hazard make a positive return from injury?

Chelsea's Eden Hazard has been tipped to achieve greatness for quite some time now. The ostentatious midfielder has impressed thoroughly during his time at Chelsea. The Belgian set a personal best of 16 goals last season and looked fluent throughout.

Hazard has been not just a fan favourite, but also a Fantasy Premier League favourite. Given a spot on a majority of sides, the 26-year old justified his position after winning his owners a total of 224 points last season.

The Chelsea talisman is currently sidelined because of an ankle injury and is set to miss the first month as he's expected to make a return only in September.

Once he's back, though, he should take no time to break back into The Blues side as well as your fantasy sides.

Temporary replacement - Christian Eriksen - £9.5

Eriksen will intend to hit the ground running

Until Eden Hazard is declared fit, a suitable Fantasy Premier League replacement can be assumed to be Tottenham Hotspur's, Christian Eriksen. The Danish attacking midfielder enjoyed a rich vein of form, acquiring a staggering 218 points. The 25-year old also fits well within the budget you would have needed for Hazard.
