Let\u2019s have a look at the best players in their positions from last season to help you select the perfect team.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px;\"><strong>Harry Kane<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">England and Tottenham striker Harry Kane was the highest Fantasy Football points scorer in his position last year, scoring 217 points, despite not finding the back of the net in August and sitting out four weeks through injury. His 217-point haul wasn\u2019t his personal best though, as it was down seven points from the year before. The Spurs striker scored 29 goals last season, as well as providing two assists for his teammates. This was enough to see him finish top of the leaderboard over Leicester\u2019s Jamie Vardy by an impressive 34 points.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>This season\u2019s price:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a312.5 million<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px;\"><strong>Jamie Vardy<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Leicester\u2019s Jamie Vardy was second among the forwards last year and represents a well-priced pick, considering he\u2019s a cheap, but reliable option to lead a front line in any fantasy team. Vardy scored 20 goals for the Foxes last year, his second-highest Premier League tally and he scored 22 points more than he did in the previous season.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>This season\u2019s price:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a39 million<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px;\"><strong>Roberto Firmino<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Roberto Firmino finished third out of all forwards in Fantasy Football last season, scoring a total of 181 points, one more than the previous season and two fewer than Vardy. The Liverpool striker was crucial for the Reds last season, finding the back of the net 15 times, but also providing for his teammates (mostly Salah), with eight assists over the campaign. He\u2019s often underrated in a list of all Premier League forwards, but he\u2019s a great pick to have and improves year-on-year. Last season was his best so far and as the Reds look for that elusive league title, he\u2019ll be a key component in their hunt.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>This season\u2019s price:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a39.5 million<\/p>\n<p>Click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.netbet.co.uk\/blog\/2018\/08\/06\/top-performing-goalkeepers-in-fantasy-football\/\">here<\/a> to see the top performing goalkeepers from last year!<\/p>\n<p>Click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.netbet.co.uk\/blog\/2018\/08\/06\/top-performing-defenders-in-fantasy-football\/\">here<\/a> to see the top performing defenders from last year!<\/p>\n<p>Click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.netbet.co.uk\/blog\/2018\/08\/06\/top-performing-midfielders-in-fantasy-football\/\">here<\/a> to see the top performing midfielders from last year!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">@dominictrant<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fantasy Football returns for another season and you can join NetBet\u2019s fantasy league right here!
