Top picks for your Premier League fantasy team. With the deadline looming to get your fantasy Premier League team ready for the new season, we look at some of the best prospects, and the riskiest buys for your squad. Cost is millions of pounds out of a maximum spend of 100 million / points are from last season, where applicable, taken from fantasy.premierleague and are unlimited. Bargain buys: Ben Davies (Tottenham) 5.0 / 99 - Spurs new left-back was the subject of a transfer battle this summer, such is his regard among managers. Hes a solid defender who is now playing under a manager who likes his full backs to bomb-on, so assists could be on the cards. Spurs have a relatively easy start to the season too. Ashley Young (Man Utd) 5.5 / 50 - Hes not been at his best in recent years but his pre-season form is giving cause for optimism, only Wayne Rooney has scored more goals for Manchester United. Julian Speroni (Crystal Palace) 5.0 / 144 - One of the top performers between the posts last season, but Tony Pulis departure could destabilise the club. Hes likely to need to make a lot of saves this season, and rack up the points, nonetheless. Dark horse: Phillippe Coutinho (Liverpool) 8.0 / 114 - Some say he was unlucky to miss out on Brazils team at the World Cup, and his pre-season form has done nothing to suggest otherwise. Hes established himself as the chief creator in a dangerous Liverpool side, hungry for another title run. Bojan Krkic (Stoke) 5.5 - The new recruit from Barcelona certainly has an impressive CV. The youngest player ever to score for the Catalan club; back in 2007 he was fighting Thierry Henry and Zlatan Ibrahimovic for a starting place, and winning. Could his move to Stoke re-ignite his stuttering career? Kieran Trippier (Burnley) 5.0 - A defender keen to burst forward, who got 12 assists in Burnleys promotion campaign last season. Bound to play his fair share of games, and could be a good source of points if he carries on last seasons form. Fresh meat: Cesc Fabregas (Chelsea) 9.0 - A player brought in to give Chelsea more creativity in midfield, the former Arsenal captain has the advantage of plenty of Premier League experience under his belt already. A goal-maker and scorer, he could be a points machine this season in a team tipped for the title. Dusan Tadic (Southampton) 7.5 - Southampton may have lost a lot of players this summer, but theyve also been pretty shrewd bringing them in too. With 16 goals and 14 assists in 33 appearances in the Dutch league, this midfielders stats certainly make for interesting reading. Alexis Sanchez (Arsenal) 10.5 - The Chilean comes with a big reputation and a big price-tag for fantasy managers, but his pace and skill is undeniable. Could be a key man for the Gunners this season with Arsene Wenger using him on the wing and through the middle too. Steady campaigner: Steven Caulker (QPR) 5.0 / 122 - The 22-year-old impressed with Cardiff last season, reliable in defence and dangerous from set pieces. Hes set to make a formidable partnership with Rio Ferdinand in the QPR defence and is also a bit of a bargain. Yaya Toure (Man City) 11.0 / 241 - The Champions midfield maestro topped the points totals last season, and was also Manchester Citys top scorer. Sure to be a talisman for the team once again, Toure could be worth splashing out on. Seamus Coleman (Everton) 7.0 / 180 - The Irishman had a breakthrough season with Everton last year and will be looking to build on his impressive statistics. Another fullback who will get assists and the odd goal. Risky business: Eden Hazard (Chelsea) 10.0 / 202 - A star for Chelsea last season, Hazard failed to take his form into the World Cup, despite playing in a fancied Belgium side. Will he be able to find his best game again this season? Romelu Lukaku (Everton) 9.0 / 168 - Jose Mourinho felt Lukaku didnt have the stomach to fight for a place at Chelsea and accepted a big money offer from Everton. Hes relatively cheap for a top forward in fantasy land, but the Toffees have a tough opening round of fixtures, and Lukaku isnt fully match-fit. Steven Gerrard (Liverpool) 9.0 / 205 - The Liverpool captain has just gone through the worst three months of his life, after Liverpool slipped up in the race for the title and England were booted out the World Cup early. A seasoned campaigner, but can he lift his game to the highs of old.
