Stephens plays in a central defensive midfield role. With little attacking threat last season and little returns in FPL points. Stephens is a cheap midfielder who will get you points for minutes.
Oriol Romeu (SOU) MID

Much the same as Stephens, Romeu plays in a central defensive midfield role. With little attacking threat last season and little returns in FPL points. But Romeu will get you points for minutes as a cheap midfielder.
Tomáš Souček (WHU) MID

Souček often plays in a defensive midfield role for West Ham. There is a lot of excitement around this guy amongst the FPL community because of his price. Souček scored 3 goals in the last 7 games of the league. At 6’3 he is a danger in the box.
Allan Saint- Maximin (NEW) MID
Price: £5.5m
Appearances: 26
19/20 pts: 92
G: 3 A: 5 Key passes p/g: 1.3

Saint- Maximin has played on both wings and as a second striker for Newcastle on his debut season. He showed his class and technical skill in all 3 positions, with his close dribbling making defenders lose their feet.
Steve Bruce is looking to sign another striker, possibly Callum Wilson after Joelinton had a rough debut season. Bruce is also looking into Harry Wilson and David Brooks. Saint- Maximin will be apart of a more threatening attack and at a cheap price he could be very good value.
John Lundstrum (SHU) MID
Price: £5.5m
Appearances: 34
19/20 pts: 144
G: 5 A: 3 Key passes p/g: 0.6
Clean sheets: 10
Big chances created: 8
Shots p/g: 1.0

Accurate crosses: 18%
It is important to note that Lundstrum’s points from last year were as a DEF! Lundstrum is highly unlikely to be able to reach that amount of points again this season.
Lundstrum normally plays in an attacking midfield role on the right side, you should still expect attacking returns from him. However, towards the end of last season his game time was slowly being reduced. We are yet to find out if this will continue to next season.
Daniel Podence (WOL) MID
Price: £5.5m
Appearances: 9
19/20 pts: 25
G: 1 A: 0 Key passes p/g: 0.6
Clean sheets: 3

Podence mainly plays on the wing for Wolverhampton. He is a cheap way to get the forever dangerous Wolves attack into your team. Linking with Jimenez or Traoré could bring attacking returns for Podence.
But don’t expect Podence to play every minute, the wing positions at Wolves are competitive. Jota will be battling with Podence for the starting spot unless Nuno comes up with a new way of fitting them both in.
Stuart Armstrong (SOU) MID
Price: £5.5m
Appearances: 30
19/20 pts: 98
G: 5 A: 3 Key passes p/g: 0.6
Clean sheets: 7
Big chances created: 2

Armstrong usually plays in an attacking midfield role on the right for Southampton, but his versatility has seen him play a few positions. His goal contributions are attractive for FPL managers and if Ings can have a similar season then Armstrong could be the one to assist him!
Matheus Pereira (WBA) MID
Price: £6.0m
Appearances: 42
G: 8 A: 16 Key passes p/g: 2.8

*stats are taken from last season’s Championship league
Last season on loan from Sporting Lisbon, West Brom have just signed Pereira on a permanent for around £8.5m. The attacking midfielder had the most assists in the championship last season and the second most goals in the West Brom team.
He is a great addition to the West Brom team, Bilić has the experience of the Premier league already and I think West Brom could do well this season.
