4. Alex Ball
With premium players amassing much of our budget, plus significant ownership levels, Alex Ball looks at some cheap and low owned players that could give you the edge. Check out the thread on Twitter.
A few #FPL options to monitor that are slipping under the radar:
— Alex Ball (@alexwaterbaby) July 27, 2018
-Chambers, £4.5mil (0.6% owned)- playing defensive mid in preseason. Seems to be starting most friendlies.
-Lennon, £5.0 (0.5%)- looks to be starting for friendlies and V Aberdeen in Europa.

5. Adam Hopcroft
While many managers are searching for value in the midfield, it’s premium defenders who performed well last season. Adam Hopcroft collates the statistics and suggests a shift in formation.
Number of outfield players priced at 6.5m or under to score 125+ points last season:
— Adam Hopcroft (@ahopcroft13) July 26, 2018
10 defenders (all big 6)
Azpi
Alonso
Otamendi
Valencia
Davies
Walker
Vertonghen
Bellerin
Moses
Monreal
3 midfielders
Mili
Doucoure
Richarlison
No fwds
Another argument for premium defs
6. Fantasyczinie
Arsenal are one side with cheaper options in defence for a premium side. Fantasycznie suggests we should use caution here though as Emery historically rotates his full backs in the league.
#FPL Tempted by Kolasinac (5.0) or Bellerin (5.5)? Watch out for Emery's LB/RB rotation! I've checked how he managed minutes of wingbacks during last 4 seasons: pic.twitter.com/TWJUVV6KqV
