Bernardo Silva (£4.5m) – 30.8 per cent

Bernardo Silva was quite simp൩ly ♕sensational last season, emerging as a real star in the absence of Kevin de Bruyne.

The Belgian is back fit this season, but that shouldn't keep B. Silva out of the side, even though Pep Guardiola loves to rotate.

He got seven goals and seven assis🐻ts in the Pre🦹mier League last season.

Harry Maguire (£3.5m) – 31.3 per cent

When the game was launched, Maguire was a Leicester player. We're not sure why his stock has risen to much since he joined a lesser club.

But now that he's at Manchester United, he becomes the third-most owned defender in the game.

The Red Devils should be tighter at the back this season - and Maguire guarantees the odd goal from a🥃 set-piece.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£6m) – 35 per cent

The Arsenal striker shared the Golden Boot last season with Liverpool forwards Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane. So he's understandably a popular choice.

Aubameyang netted 22 times in the Premier League, plus he's on penalty duties for the Gunners, so that total could increase with the introduction of VAR.

Sadio Mane (£6m) – 36 per cent

Goals from midfield are key in Dream Team, with extra points on offer, so it's difficult to overlook Mane.

The Senegal international matched Salah's tally last season - and he's £1.5m cheaper than his Liverpool team-mate.

However, he only returned to training on Monday due to his participation in the Africa Cup of Nations, so there is a chance he won't feature against Norwich on Friday night.

Andy Robertson (£4.5m) – 37.8 per cent

C🔯lean sheets, assists, bonus points - what more ꦇcould you want?

Liverpool boasted the best defence in the league last season and Ro𒊎bertson was the highest-scoring defender in Dream Team.

A real no-brainer, this one.

Harry Kane (£7m) - 43.9 per cent

Imagine how many goal🧸s Harry Kane would score if he stayed fit and bagged a few in August?

As it stands, he’s already won the Golden Boot once and hit ๊30 goals in the 2017/18 campaign, despite an ankle injury.

Last term, he only managed 🔯17 strikes, but h♏is goals-per-minute ratio was actually better than Salah’s.

If he plays 38 games, he’ll be difficult to beat, especially with the introductio🍸n of VAR possibly resulting in more penalties.

Sergio Aguero (£7.5m) – 45.2 per cent

Given how incredible Aguero has﷽ been for such a sustained period of time, it seems strange he only has one Golden Boot to show♑ for it.

What’s even more bonkers is las✱t season was the first time he was named in the PFA Team of the Year.

But end-of-season awards are bias🐈ed in favour of people who have been exceptional for a short amount of time, which means longevity can often be overlooked.

Aguero remains one of ౠthe deadliest strikers in Europe, although beware of Pep Guardiola’s infamous rotation policy.

Mohamed Salah (£7.5m) – 47.4 per cent

Two seasons in the Premier League. Two Golden Boots. That’s not a bad return.

Those whꦬo labelled Salah a one-season wonder were given several slꦐices of humble pie as the Egyptian just kept on scoring.

It doesn’t matter how you defend, whether you play a high♕ line or sit deep, Salah will find a way to get in behind.

He🌺’s another player set to benefit fr൲om the possibility of more penalties next season.

Virgil van Dijk (£6m) – 51 per cent

The reigning PFA Player of the Year will ensure Liverpool keep plentyꦚ of clean sheets.

He also chips in with the odd goal and rakes in the bonus points - plus you can absolutely🅠 guarantee he starts every game.

But with Robertson available for £1.5m less and more likely to get assists, we'd suggest picking the Scot. Or just get both!

Raheem Sterling (£6.5m) – 56.2 per cent

No surprises here. You've got a midfielder, almost guaranteed to start for Manchester City, who has reached double figures in goals and assists for the past two seasons.

City are a minefield for fantasy football players due to Guardiola's rotation policy, but despite their incredible depth in attack, Sterling still gets the nod every weak.

He's surely a must for your Dream Team XI.
