Fantasy Premier League Tips: 5 Bargain buys in Midfield

Nathan Redmond will look to take his game to the next level this season

#1 Jordan Ibe - £5.5m

The young English winger moved to Bournemouth from Liverpool for a club record fee of 15 Million this summer. Ibe, despite showing his talents, did not get proper playing time at Liverpool and now he has joined Bournemouth with the hope of being on the field for more time.

The fact that Bournemouth paid a club record fee for the youngster shows that manager, Eddie Howe, has Ibe as a key part of his plans for next season. The English winger is expected to be a regular starter for Bournemouth next season. Ibe managed to score one and assist three goals last season for Liverpool in the league despite only playing very few minutes for the club.

The 20-year-old is rated at £5.5m on FPL and could be a huge bargain this season.

These are just five players who could be great bargain buys, but there are a few more midfielders who could also fetch you points at low costs. Players like Sofiane Feghouli (Rated at £5.5), N'Golo Kanté (Rated at £5.0), Andros Townsend (Rated at £6.5), Robert Snodgrass (Rated at £5.5), Wahbi Khazri (Rate at £6.5) are some other bargain options, but some of these players, like Kante, seldom assist or score goals, or in the fringes of the playing XI.
