Some dependable benchwarmers to free up some funds for that glamour signing.
Shay Given - £4m (Villa)
He won't be troubling Villa's starting line-up this season but if your sub keeper's getting games he's probably expensive, and you're doing it wrong. At £4m he's as cheap as it gets, and unlike others in that price bracket (Brian Murphy, Ben Hamer) you've actually heard of him.
Ron Vlaar - £4.5m (Villa)
The Holland centre half has been selected in 23.2% of all fantasy teams, but with 93 points last season, a cracking World Cup under his belt and a ridiculously low price-tag, it's a wonder the figure's not higher. Get him in, start him!
Michael Keane £4.5m (Man Utd)
United are likely to line-up with three centre halves next season, and as it stands Keane is probably 4th in the pecking order. Van Gaal seems to rate him too so don't be surprised if he gets a fair bit of game-time in the coming months. Having said that, if Hummels and/or Vermaelen sign ditch him quick.
Neil Taylor £4.5m (Swansea)
He's no Ben Davies, sure, but with the younger Welshman now at Spurs Taylor looks nailed on as Swansea's first choice left-back for this season. Just 23 points last year, but he barely played. Expect him to at least quadruple that total this time out.
Geoff Cameron £4.5m (Stoke)
His 108 points last season make him comfortably the highest scoring defender at this price. You'd expect Stoke to improve this year as well, which should also mean a better total for him personally.
Muhamed Besic £5m (Everton)
Sandro £5m (Spurs)
There's no guarantees that Mauricio Pochettino fancies him of course, but it's a fair assumption that he'll at least now be ahead of Nabil Bentaleb in the pecking order. And with Gylfi Sigurdsson gone and Lewis Holtby likely to follow, the Spurs midfield is looking a lot less congested this year. Should comfortably beat last season's total of 30 points.
Steven Davis £5m (Southampton)
110 points last season and he wasn't even a regular. With just a couple of 12-year-old academy prospects by way of competition for his place now he should clean up.
James McCarthy £5m (Everton)
Well assist-y.
Bojan Krkic £5.5m (Stoke)
Chances are he'll be shit but if you fancy a gamble, a danger signing, they don't come much more tempting than this.
Shane Long £6m (Hull)
This guy, on the other hand, is the safest 10-15 goal/100 point merchant going. I'd still pick Bojan though.
