At £6.1M, Daniel James doesn't seem quite cheap. But he's one of the most consistent players at that price. James joined Manchester United this summer and has become one of their main players and a constant in the team.

Given United's recent performances and James' role in their victories, it seems a good choice to invest in the Welsh player. James has raked in 59 points so far and is owned by 10.7% of players. He has scored three goals and has provided four assists this season.

James has started every single league game for Manchester United since Gameweek 2. His low price makes him one of the cheapest ways to get into a 'big 6' team's attack. Given Manchester United's counter-attacking play and James' role, he could be an asset.

Manchester United face Everton in Gameweek 17, followed by matches against Watford, Newcastle and Burnley. Given the comfortable set of fixtures for United, James is an outstanding prospect for the busy period.
