The Sporting Life League is starting from scratch this season so you will need to enter again if you enjoyed the battle for supremacy last term.

While a lot of English talent has been on the move, clubs have also turned their attention to foreign imports and brought in some of the biggest names in Europe. 

Following the launch of Sky Sports Fantasy Football for the 2017/18 season, and the pricing up of these new arrivals, here is how they would have scored in the game last season.  

Alexandre Lacazette 


Sky Sports Fantasy Football valuation: £11.8million 

Whether Alexis Sanchez leaves Arsenal this summer or not, the signing of Alexandre Lacazette means the Emirates faithful are assured of skill, flair and goals. After scoring 27 goals last season in 30 Ligue 1 games for Lyon, while also providing three assists, he arrives in north London with not just expectation but the talent to fulfil it. Lacazette's £11.8million price tag is one of the highest in the game, £0.3million higher than compatriot and team-mate Olivier Giroud, but still a cheaper option to lead your attack than Sanchez (£12.7million), Sergio Aguero (£12.8million) or Harry Kane (£12.9million). 

Antonio Rudiger 


Sky Sports Fantasy Football valuation: £9.4million

Chelsea's airtight defence was a key factor in their Premier League title triumph last season, racking up 16 clean sheets, and Antonio Conte has built on that with the signing of Antonio Rudiger. The 24-year-old heads to England full of confidence after helping Roma finish second in Serie A, before winning the Confederations Cup with Germany this summer. Besides Kurt Zouma, who has been linked with a loan move to West Brom, Rudiger is the only Chelsea defender available for less than £10million this season, and looks worth the money after playing his part in 11 clean sheets last season. 

Bernardo Silva  


Sky Sports Fantasy Football valuation: £9.8million 

Such was Manchester City's speed in securing Bernardo Silva's services it is almost easy to forget that he's among the summer signings. Pep Guardiola wasted no time in splashing out £43million on the talented Monaco attacking midfielder, who has been touted as a long-term replacement for David Silva (£10.6million). The 22-year-old's stats from last season suggest the transition could be sooner rather than later, having scored eight goals and provided nine assists in Ligue 1, trumping his new team-mate in both tallies. 

Davy Klaassen 


Sky Sports Fantasy Football valuation: £8.6million 

Players moving from the Eredivisie do not have the most consistent record of lighting up the Premier League, but Davy Klaassen is a player who can defy that trend. The Netherlands international scored 13 goals from midfield last season at Ajax, while also providing nine assists from 57 chances created. If he can continue that form at Everton, then his £8.6m price tag will be one of the bargains of the season - making him cheaper than David Silva, Leroy Sane and Henrik Mkhitaryan, who all scored less than Klaassen's estimated total last season.

Mohamed Salah 


Sky Sports Fantasy Football valuation: £9.4million 

After struggling to make his mark at Chelsea, Mohamed Salah silenced his critics at Roma last season with 15 goals and 11 assists in 31 games. One of only eight players to hit double figures in both columns across Europe's top five leagues, his reward was a second chance in the Premier League, this time with Liverpool. His estimated points total puts him right up there with the best in England last season, making his £9.4million price tag a deal many will not want to miss out on. 

Sandro Ramirez 


Sky Sports Fantasy Football valuation: £9.4million 

After Romelu Lukaku's departure, Sandro Ramirez arrives at Everton with big boots to fill, but he also brings a fantastic scoring record with him. The former Barcelona forward scored 14 times in 30 games for Malaga last season - despite them finishing 11th in LaLiga. After proving himself in one of Europe's big leagues, Sandro comes into Sky Sports Fantasy Football at a very reasonable price, costing less than Jamie Vardy, Olivier Giroud and Marcus Rashford - who all scored fewer goals last year. 

Vicente Iborra 


Sky Sports Fantasy Football valuation: £8.3million 

Leicester City have been splashing the cash already this summer, including spending £15 million on Vicente Iborra. The 29-year-old arrives from Sevilla having not played as big a role as he may have hoped - starting only 12 of his 31 appearances in 2016/17 - but he still managed to make an impressive impact with seven goals and two assists. After being involved in a goal every 167 minutes, his price of £8.3million could be a real coup in this year's game. 

Victor Lindelof 


Sky Sports Fantasy Football valuation: £8.5million 

Benfica's Primeira Liga title win last season was largely down to their league-best defence - one which kept 19 clean sheets in 34 games. At the heart of that was 22-year-old Victor Lindelof, who won 69 headers over the season while averaging six defensive actions per game. The Sweden international is an exciting addition to Jose Mourinho's well-drilled team and comes into Sky Sports Fantasy Football as a cheaper option than many big names - such as Virgil van Dijk, John Stones and team-mate Eric Bailly.
