The powerful mid-field structure theory is one of the most used theory in fantasy world wide

Here are some of the tips to use powerful mid-field structure.

Notes:

Budget Defenders – there are a wealth of options at £4.5m this season, having three players at this price point isn’t a huge handicap.
Premium Midfield – the additional premium midfielder is an excellent transitional player (cash cow) that can be utilised to upgrade defence or attack if necessary.
Mid Priced Forward – there are only two realistic players at this price range but a reasonable amount of options below and Anthony Martial is just an additional £0.5m
Budget Forward – £6.0m isn’t an ideal price point, as a price rise / drop might result in you being £0.1m away from your transfer there are a reasonable amount of options though, just be warned that you will need to move quickly.

This structure will help you adapt you according to fixtures. You can use formation like 3-5-2, 4-4-2, 5-4-1 and 4-5-1 according to your will.

Notes:

Second Premium Defender – there are lots of options at £5.0m-£6.0m and having a player at this price point enables an easy switch. You don’t want to be taking hits on defensive transfers.
Budget Defenders – there are a wealth of options at £4.5m this season, having two players at this price point allows you to easily move to a bandwagon.
Premium Midfield – £12.0m is the top price and you can transition to anyone from this point. There are only three players at £12.0m so £11.5m is also a great price point.
Mid Price Midfield – there are a lot of options available to downgrade to from £7.0m – £8.0m
Budget Midfield – there are only a handful of options between £5.0m – £6.5m, which could make this a tricky slot to transition out of.
Premium Striker – this is the most expensive price and can be transferred to any other forward.
Budget Striker – there are a reasonable amount of options at £6.0m – £6.5m and this price makes it easy to catch a bandwagon or jump on a good fixture run.

Notes:

Premium Defender – at the early stages of the season it’s difficult to predict which mid priced midfielders and forwards are going to perform. Defenders are safer options and options such as Matt Doherty, Kieran Tierney and Lucas Digne are effectively midfielders anyway. An additional £6.0m defender allows you to instantly jump on to almost any other defender in a single move or offers the option of freeing up cash for elsewhere in your team.
Mid Priced Midfield – the £7.5m level is a bit of a dead zone, there’s not much around it or slightly above so any move has to be down unless you find cash from elsewhere. £8.5m is the ideal range for this position as you can down or across to almost all the decent non-premium options.
