Next in our fantasy lineup, we’ll be picking the star midfielders. These are the players for whom you will have to pay top dollar, but can expect them to deliver in spades. There’s no real bargains to be found here – that group will come later.
There’s a good chance these players will come into consideration for the captaincy each week and by starting with a couple of them, we’ll help ensure this team is competitive from the outset.
Given the sheer amount of underpriced, quality midfielders, we’re only going to pick 2 of the following superstars. By taking advantage of those cheaper players later, we’ll look to boost the team’s overall value.
Each of the following midfielders have a great chance of finishing the season among the top 8 scorers, so by locking them in from the start we’re expecting to keep them right through the year.
