With Liverpool midfielder Diogo Jota (£6.5m) appearing to have broken into the Reds starting line-up after some impressive performances in both the Premier League and UEFA Champions League, all of sudden FPL managers potentially have a cheap route into Liverpool's destructive attack. Pablo Fornals (£6.4m) meanwhile has proven himself as a man in form on the road. The West Ham midfielder has racked up two goals, one assist and 24 FPL points from his three Premier League away games.

West Ham are away from home in Gameweek 9 with a trip to Sheffield Utd on the agenda. From a form perspective, owners of Fornals will be confident of FPL points from him in this match. However, Jota simply cannot be ignored after being given a start against Man City in Gameweek 8. If the Portugese international is set to become a regular starter for Reds, then he will be amongst the best value players in all of FPL at his current price. With three goals in his last three league games at Anfield and Leicester at home next up in Gameweek 9, we simply have to choose the former Wolves man here.

Verdict: Diogo Jota
