Arsenal
Best Value - Leno 5m
Many would say Auba. But for 12m? Pfft. Give me a nailed Leno any day (he’s nailed isn’t he?)
Worst Value - Ozil 7m
Seriously? I know he was once world class but he’s a dead asset that costs 7 bloody million? Hard pass

Aston Villa
Best Value - Grealish 7m
But he’s the most expensive player?! Yes he is, for bloody good reason. Talisman, set piece taker. Only one worth owning.
Worst Value - Samatta 6m
Wow. I don’t really know where this came from. Awful all round. Will be replaced.

Brighton
Best Value - Lamptey 4.5
Starting, young defender who seems nailed in a team that will collect plenty of CSs. Yes please!
Worst Value - Groß 6m
Slowly being phased out of the team. If you’re investing then it’s a nostalgia pick based on his previous good years.

Burnley
Best Value - Taylor 4.5m
Pope is 5.5m. Taylor is 1m cheaper and will get just as many clean sheets. It’s like printing value.
Worst Value - Barnes 6m
Who wants the second best striker in a team that covets CSs and winning 1-0? Barnes train derailed.

Chelsea
Best Value - Pulisic 8.5m
Could very easily be Ziyech at 8m. These players could be in every team if Chelsea start strong. Electric!
Worst Value - Abraham 7.5m
Jesus. He was 7m last year when we weren’t sure he was starting. Now he’s more and he definitely isn’t!

Crystal Palace
Best Value - Ferguson 4m
Insane value for a potential starting defender in a resolute palace team. Perfect enabler.
Worst Value - Townsend 6m
With the value in midfield this just feels silly. Wouldn’t even pick him at 4.5m.

Everton
Best Value - Digne 6m
Second best left back in the league. Free kicks, corners, long shots, crossing. Hard to find value in this team tbf.
Worst Value - Siggy 7m
Almost time to take this guy out to pasture.

Fulham
Best Value - Mitrovic 6m
Already had a good season in the prem with Fulham. Expecting the same. He’s also a lovely person.
Worst Value - Any Defender
Don’t do it. Unless you like hurting yourself. In which case, fill em up!

Leeds
Best Value - Klich 5.5m
On pens and gets forward in attacks. A mystery how Leeds will perform but a mid on pens is always a safe shout.
Worst Value - Bamford 5.5m
He’ll have 120 shots this year. He’ll score 5 goals. Save this tweet.

Leicester
Best Value - Justin 4.5m
Cemented his place as a foxes wingback and gets forward well. Superb value.
Worst Value - Tielemans £6.5m
The only owners he has are auto fill teams. No one in their right mind would will start GW1 with him.

Liverpool
Best Value - VVD 6.5m
Outscored 90% of the players more expensive than him last year. In every position. Nailed.
Worst Value - Firmino 9.5m

Man City
Best Value - Foden 6.5m
Could be the biggest mistake FPL has made this year. Realistically could hit 160+ points this year.
Worst Value - B Silva 7.5m
Waste of an explosive City spot. Has the odd good game but you’ll be clawing you’re eyes out owning him over others.

Man Utd
Best Value - Greenwood 7.5m
If Sancho doesn’t sign then he’s the best value player in the game. No questions.
Worst Value - Lingard 6m
Almost as bad as Firmino. They have auto fill just so someone will own him and he won’t hate himself.

Newcastle
Best Value - ASM 5.5m
Blows hot and cold but for his price it’s what you’d expect. Bright spark in a turgid Toon team.
Worst Value - Joelinton 6m
Scored 2 goals last year. 2. A goal every 19 games. Imagine picking him. Just imagine.

Shef U
Best Value - Egan 5m
Close between the defenders. 0.5 cheaper than the fullbacks and just as many points.
Worst Value - Sharp 6m
If you want to waste money on the Blade’s mascot then go ahead. 57 points last year is depressing.

Southampton
Best Value - KWP 4.5m
An improving Saints team and KWP was a part of that. Nailed for a gorgeous price. Get. In. My. Team.
Worst Value - Redmond 6.5m
Tough one. Better options at his price. Seems to make his way into some teams by kickoff though. Somehow.

Spurs
Best Value -Son 9m
With the premium options in midfield this year it feels like Son is the forgotten man. Will own at some point. He’ll get sent off.
Worst Value - Alli 8m
Third best option in a worrying spurs team managed by Jose. I’m good, cheers.

West Brom
Best Value - Pereira 6m
If one man can make them tick, its him. Feels a bit like Grealish for Villa last year.
Worst Value - Austin 5.5m
West Brom won’t be a scoring team this year. So all their strikers shouldn’t be touched. Not even if you’re ablaze.

West Ham
Best Value - Soucek 5m
My pod cohost @FplIrons loves this guy. Enough said.
Worst Value - Anderson 6.5m
Can only assume he’s priced this high as he might get a move. Otherwise, they’re smoking something in FPL towers. Something goooood.

Wolves
Best Value - Vinagre 4.5m
Starting left back now Condom is injured. Cracking defence, attacking player. Lovely.
Worst Value - Neves 5.5m
Beautiful player on his day. Not worth the outlay. His 33 year old midfield partner is a better FPL asset.

Hopefully my thread verges on the side of good value.
Enjoy.
