7. Bruno Fernandes - £12.5m
Bruno Fernandes is pretty pricey, but you can't really complain when the Portuguese had more goal contributions than any other player in the Premier League last season. Fernandes was the third top goalscorer in the league (18) and had the second most assists (12). Photo: Jan Kruger
Jack Harrison had a stellar first season in the Premier League with Leeds United, scoring eight and assisting eight. The winger turned his loan into a permanent move this summer and will be hoping to pick up where he left off this weekend. Photo: Lewis Storey
Mo Salah is the gift that keeps on giving for Liverpool. The so-called "one season wonder" scored 22 league goals in his third season with the Reds and will no doubt impress again in the upcoming campaign. Photo: Alex Livesey
Despite tailing off towards the end of last season, Jamie Vardy still scored 15 league goals for Leicester City. The Foxes have brought in Patson Daka to bolster their attack but Vardy is still likely to play an important role in their campaign. Photo: Tony Marshall
Chris Wood consistently scores goals for Burnley, despite them often being around the relegation zone throughout the season. In comparison to the others, Wood is a steal and is worth considering. Photo: Laurence Griffiths
