Fantasy Football is back and there were plenty of surprises over the first weekend of the season, where none of the Premier League\u2019s top strikers found the back of the net.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve picked out five players that we believe will be essential to your success in this year\u2019s competition and that you need to get in your side immediately!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Aaron Wan-Bissaka<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

One name stuck out in a number of teams in Gameweek 1 and that was Aaron Wan-Bissaka. The Crystal Palace defender only made his first team debut last season, making just seven appearances, but forced his way in to start the first game of the season and put in a superb performance, earning 12 fantasy football points. He provided an assist, formed part of a defence that kept a clean sheet, played the full 90 minutes and also received three bonus points. Palace play Liverpool on Monday night, so a Palace clean sheet is unlikely to replicate itself, but at a cost of \u00a34 million, he\u2019s a cheap addition for players who will want to spend big in other positions.<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a34 million<\/p>\n

Points in Gameweek 1:<\/strong> 12<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ruben Neves<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ruben Neves made a name for himself in the Championship last season with some stunning goals and introduced himself to the Premier League in similar fashion! The Portuguese midfielder scored a stunning free kick for Wolves against Everton and also provided an assist and is a very cheap midfielder at \u00a35 million. He played the full 90 minutes and will be a key figure for Wolves as they push towards their aim of a mid-table finish. Nuno Espirito Santo\u2019s side play Leicester this weekend, who are without a win in six games and Neves could pile on the pressure on Claude Puel at the King Power Stadium on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a35 million<\/p>\n

Points in Gameweek 1:<\/strong> 12<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Andrew Robertson<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Luke Shaw was the highest-scoring left-back of any in Fantasy Football last week, but it\u2019s Liverpool\u2019s Andrew Robertson who is likely to have scored more points come the end of the season, considering he\u2019s likely to play more games. Robertson put in a tremendous shift against West Ham, causing panic every time he ran at the defence and he bagged an assist for one of four Liverpool goals. Jurgen Klopp\u2019s side play Crystal Palace away next Monday, and although Palace won\u2019t be as defensively weak as West Ham, Robertson could clock up some assists and maybe even a goal in this game and over the course of the season.<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a36 million<\/p>\n

Points in Gameweek 1:<\/strong> 11<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Callum Wilson<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

In a league which contains striking options like Sergio Aguero, Harry Kane, Roberto Firmino and Jamie Vardy, it was actually Bournemouth\u2019s Callum Wilson who scored the most fantasy football points of any forward. The striker scored the second goal against Cardiff and provided the assist for Ryan Fraser for the first. Bournemouth take on West Ham this weekend, who conceded four against Liverpool last weekend and were shocking defensively. Bournemouth will play in a similar way, albeit with less quality, but could do some serious damage to the Hammers if they haven\u2019t addressed their defensive issues. Cheap strikers are few and far between in Fantasy Football and at \u00a36 million, Wilson is one of the more economical purchases out there.<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a36 million<\/p>\n

Points in Gameweek 1:<\/strong> 8<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

James Tarkowski<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Burnley\u2019s first game of the season ended as a goalless draw, but James Tarkowski picked up from where he\u2019d left off last season with 7 points. The England international picked up 101 points over the course of last season as Burnley finished seventh in the Premier League and he started off well again. Sean Dyche\u2019s men play Watford this weekend, who won 2-0 at home against Brighton on the opening day, but their away record last year was shocking. Tarkowski is a cheap defender and should pick up some points again this weekend and over the course of the season.<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a35 million<\/p>\n

Points in Gameweek 1:<\/strong> 7<\/p>\n
