<h3>Goalkeepers</h3>
<p>My initial goalkeeper choices are <strong>Bart Verbruggen (£4.5m) </strong>and Brentford's new number one <strong>Caoimhin Kelleher (£4.5m)</strong>.</p>
<p>They’re both in teams with decent defensive set-ups and should collect a fair share of save points, offering great value at just £4.5m.</p>
