While Didier Drogba departed for China, attacking midfielders Eden Hazard (£7.7m), Marko Marin (£6.3m) and Oscar (£5.8m) have all joined the ranks.
The former offers the greatest appeal after netting 20 times and contributing 18 assists last term for Lille, a repeat performance would see the Belgium international rack up 200+ points.
Juan Mata (£8.9m) and Frank Lampard (£8.4m) were both in decent form last term, with 150 and 138 points respectively but are priced up accordingly.
Fernando Torres will need to up his tally from a meagre six goals following Drogba's exit, but Fantasy price setters expect him to do so with a tag of £9.5m.
