The best cheap FPL players to help me pack in more premium assets for Gameweek 12

Premium assets are the talk of the Fantasy Premier League town right now but I think it’s important to discuss how we accommodate them as well as picking out the best ones.

Gameweek 11 saw just about every well-owned premium player get at least one attacking return, so I completely understand the commotion.

I was very happy to come out of Gameweek 11 with 55 points from Mohamed Salah (£12.3m), Kevin De Bruyne (£11.8m), and Son Heung-min (£9.5m). That helped bring me to a total of 80 points with just 10 men.

Like most people, I am now left wondering how many premium players is too many, and whether I have enough for Gameweek 12. 

I would usually find it hard to have four or more players price at £9.5m or above in my FPL team. But right now I’m considering doing that by Gameweek 13 with three of them costing £10.9m or more.

It is often difficult to do this early on in the campaign but this season it feels like there’s perhaps more value showing itself early doors than normal, both in defence and up-front. I’ve been moving towards focussing on cheap forwards for a while and it might finally be time to put that into action by adding Bruno Fernandes (£10.9m) to my already packed midfield.

In this article I want to explore some of the more value players to see if they can compete with the more expensive players in their positions.

    Hey folks. FPL Live! for GWK 12 is kicking off right now and live for at least the next two hours depending on attendance. With the fixture congestion and a language test this weekend for myself, I won't be doing an FPL Reacts stream for GWK 12 so come get involved for the only stream from me this GWK.

    https://www.twitch.tv/spearmintspaff

    Background for those newer to my content:

    - My top FF finishes are: FPL #18, Sky #25, Mirror #2, Daily Mail #71 and UFPL Monthly #1. To check my validity go to my Twitter (https://twitter.com/SpearmintSpaff). media for screenshots. Sometimes shown on screen for you sceptical managers too!
    - Twitch streamer and FPL tipster for only two or three weeks now but we are really growing a ledge community hitting 50 viewers the other week and have got all captaincy options spot on thus far (how long will this last lol). We also analyse highlights, do RMTs for viewers and play some quality tunes amongst all the FPL gaffs.
    -What are you waiting for? I'm sure you've seen my posts to the last couple and have been curious. Drop by and see if it fits your vibe.

    See you on stream!

    For those interested GWK 13's FPL Live! will be live on Monday night (9pm UK time). PS. Regular nutcases: I have sorted out my audio now! No random cut-outs.
