Come all ye fantasy football faithful as we get ready for the 2016-17 season by listing our top 5 Fantasy Premier League bargain goalkeepers.

Recommendations include players from Middlesbrough, West Brom, Burnley, Leicester and Stoke.

Víctor Valdés, Middlesbrough – £4.5m

Still only 34, the Barcelona legend arrives at newly promoted Boro following last season’s low-key stint at Man Utd.

Ben Foster, West Brom – £4.5m

Tony Pulis sides tend to start seasons strongly defensively, and Foster is his number 1 once again following a long-term injury.

Tom Heaton, Burnley – £4.5m

The Clarets ‘keeper impressed during their 2014-15 Premier League campaign and is highly rated enough to have gone to Euro 2016 with England.

Kasper Schmeichel, Leicester – £5m

Last season’s title-winning goalkeeper does not start this season as one of the FPL’s most expensive, although the loss of N’Golo Kanté to Chelsea could be devastating.

Jack Butland, Stoke – £5m

The 23-year-old was the FPL’s highest points-scoring ‘keeper up until his injury last season, but he should be fit to start the new campaign.
