Today marks the return of the Premier League and most importantly for many of us the Fantasy Premier League!

Wannabe managers across the country will be hoping to top release their inner Pep Guardiola as they chose their 15 players for the season in an attempt to top their friend's league.

Last season saw Mo Salah top the scoring ranks with an incredible 303 points, but at a cost of £13 million, is he worth all that money? Sacrifices would have to be made in order to get him in your starting eleven for sure.

So with the deadline just hours away, take a look at all the players you seriously need to consider in your team.

Some are obvious, but there are bargains to be had from the likes of Fulham and Wolves.

David de Gea (Manchester United, £6.0m)

He may be the most expensive goalkeeper in the game, but you can't argue with his last year's stats.

His 172 points last season got him into the top 20 highest-scoring players, an unbelievable achievement for a goalkeeper.

Andrew Robertson (Liverpool, £6.0m)

There were a lot of confused responses when Hull City's Andrew Robertson was signed by Jurgen Klopp.

But last season the Scottish left-back emerged as Liverpool's first choice, chipping in with assists, giving him huge scoring potential. Especially if his Liverpool team mates can start keeping clean sheets.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan (Arsenal, £7.0m)

The majority of Arsenal's players took a FPL price loss last season, so Mkhitaryan's £7m tag is almost too good to ignore.

If new boss Unai Emery can get his players off to a good start then the Armenian's price will certainly rise.

Marko Arnautovic (West Ham United, £7.0m)

Arnie had a decent first season with the Hammers in a new role as the leading forward, mainly because of injury worries. But with new boss Manuel Pellegrini likely to play him up top too, he looks like a good bet at £7m.

Lukasz Fabianski (West Ham United, £4.5m)

The Polish goalkeeper was the third highest scoring keeper in the league last season, mainly because he had lots of scoring opportunities at relegated Swansea.

Now at West Ham, if the Hammers can gel as a team, he will have more opportunities to make saves but also keep clean sheets.

Sergio Aguero (Manchester City, £11.0m)

It's an obvious one, but you really can't look past Sergio Aguero for your main striker. Compared to Harry Kane and Mo Salah he is relatively cheap, and after a disappointing World Cup, he will be keen to right some wrongs.

Plus he's already scored twice this season as he fired City to win the Community Shield.

Rui Patricio (Wolverhampton Wanderers, £4.5m)

Wolves/Portugal are exciting a lot of people ahead of the new season, after making a statement of intent with a number of marquee signings.

Portugal's No.1 is one of those and at £4.5million, he's definitely worth thinking about.

Bernardo Silva (Manchester City, £7.5m)

After last season's success, it is no surprise to see another Man City player in our list.

He may not have started many games last season but after an impressive pre-season, we are expecting to see him on the Pep Guardiola's team sheet this August.

Benjamin Mendy (Manchester City, £6.0m)

The king of social media Benjamin Mendy spent a lot of the season on the sidelines after suffering an cruciate ligament injury.

But it looks like the Frenchman will be Pep Guardiola's first choice left back now that he has returned from injury.

James Maddison (Leicester City, £6.5m)

Maddison was regarded as one of the best Championship players over the last few seasons and will be making the step up this season with Leicester.

With Mahrez gone, Maddison is expected to be given the corner and free-kick duties.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka (Crystal Palace, £4.0m)

Wan-Bissaka is almost guaranteed to be Roy Hodgson's first choice right-back for the season, so at a price of £4m, he may not be in your starting line-up but he's a brilliant squad rotation player.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Arsenal, £11.0m)

Just like Mkhitaryan, Aubameyang is expected to be in lethal form this season, don't let his first two fixtures (Man City and Chelsea) put you off.

Wilfried Zaha (Crystal Palace, £7.0m)

Zaha has been reclassified ahead of the new season as he is likely to continue being Palace's focal point.

At £7million, he is definitely worth a shout, considering he will be the first name of Hodgson's teamsheet.

Ederson (Manchester City, £5.5m)

With the return of Benjamin Mendy to the City line-up further strengthens their chances of keeping clean sheets, and with a price £0.5 million cheaper than De Gea, Ederson is surely a shoo-in.

Seamus Coleman (Everton £5.5m)

With Marco Silva at the helm, one thing we can guarantee with Everton this season, that won't concede a lot of goals.

Therefore right-back Seamus Coleman's point scoring potential will increase.

Ben Mee (Burnley, £5.0m)

Burnley were an impressive defensive unit last season as they qualified for the Europa League.

Mee was influential for the Clarets last year and we are expecting him to be just as important.

Richarlison (Everton, £6.5m)

Richarlison started last year brilliantly under Marco Silva, but his form dipped in the second half of the season, maybe to do with the departure of his boss.

Now the two are reunited at Everton and with no Rooney, the Toffees will be looking to the Brazilian for goals.

Sead Kolasinac (Arsenal, £5.0m)

This one all depends on what system Unai Emery plays but you cannot deny that Kolasinac is an attacking threat.

Tom Cairney (Fulham, £5.0m)

Despite all the hype surrounding Ryan Sessegnon, it was Fulham captain Tom Cairney who scored the winner for his side in the Play-off final.

With a decent disciplinary record and knowing he will be on set-piece Fantasy managers can be comfortable picking him.

James Tomkins (Crystal Palace, £4.5m)

A late star of last season, Tomkins has nailed down a starting spot alongside Mamadou Sakho and proved to be a danger from set-plays in an increasingly resolute Crystal Palace side under Roy Hodgson.

Matt Doherty (Wolverhampton Wanderers, £4.5m)

Another right-back worth considering is Wolverhampton Wanderers' Barry Douglas. The Scotsman contributed to his side's promotion last year with four goals and five assists.

Jan Bednarek (Southampton, £4.0m)

If he can convince Mark Hughes into giving him a regular starting spot, then Bednarek's low price is certainly attractive.

With Southampton playing a 3-5-2 formation too, he will have license to get forward.

Lee Peltier (Cardiff City, £4.0m)

Admit it, you get to a point in picking your squad when you have 12 players but only £13million to play with. Cardiff City's Lee Peltier could be your answer, having secured the right-back spot in Neil Warnock's side.

At £4million, he enables you to spend bigger elsewhere.

Ben Foster (Watford, £4.5m)

Probably not your main goalkeeper, but if you are looking for two decent shotstoppers, rather than spending big on one, then Foster can certainly fill one of those roles.

Christian Eriksen (Tottenham Hotspur, £9.5m)

With Heung-Min Son off to the Asian Games, Spurs will be heavily reliant on the performances of Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen.

The Dane has firmly assured himself in the Spurs side in recent seasons, takes free-kicks and corners and is an assist merchant.

Sadio Mané (Liverpool, £9.5m)

He's cheaper than his team mate Salah and with teams set to target the Egyptian defensively after his heroics last year, space and opportunities could open up for the Senegal international.

Pedro (Chelsea, £6.5m)

He is regularly overlooked by Fantasy team managers, but with Maurizio Sarri now at the helm, Pedro's attacking style could get him more starts this season.

Diogo Jota (Wolverhampton Wanderers, £6.5m)

Almost everything Wolves do happens thanks to the quality of this man. Last season he scored 17 goals from midfield for his team.

Josh King (Bournemouth, £6.5m)

At £6.5 million you can't really say no to Bournemouth's Josh King, if the Norwegian can link up well with Jermain Defoe this season, then not only could King bag points, but Bournemouth could challenge the top half.

Mohamed Salah (Liverpool, £13.0m)

We couldn't not include this man in our list, at £13 million he is the most expensive player in the game, but can you really afford not to play him?
