Firstly, there are the ones who dedicate every spare waking moment to submerging themselves in data and analytics so that they can craft a team capable of firing them into the upper echelons of the global leaderboards.
Conversely, there are those that are hounded into making a team by their mates before promptly abandoning the endeavour after a fortnight only to finish rock bottom of their office league.
If you are the latter but desperately want to become the former, never fear, we’ve got you covered.
We’ve had a look through every club’s price list ahead of the new FPL season to seek out some of the best value deals out there.
You won’t find the likes of Bruno Fernandes or Harry Kane on this list, but you will come across a number of low key gems – some admittedly more low key than others – who could help you rack up the points without breaking the bank.

1. Emile Smith Rowe - Arsenal
Price: £5.5m Verdict: The youngster really started to make some headway in Mikel Arteta's plans last season, and could be in line for a proper breakout campaign this time around. If his manager is willing to put some faith in him, he could pay him back with plenty of goal involvements. (Photo by Steve Welsh/Getty Images) Photo: Steve Welsh
2. Emiliano Martinez - Aston Villa
Price: £5.5m Verdict: The highest-scoring keeper in FPL last season, and now a Copa America winner to boot. Need we say more? (Photo by John Walton - Pool/Getty Images) Photo: Pool
3. Bryan Mbeumo - Brentford
Price: £5.5m The Verdict: Goal machine Ivan Toney grabbed all the headlines last term, but Mbeumo is Brentford's other great creative spark. The wide man could prove to be a bit of a sleeper hit as the season trundles on. (Photo by Charlotte Tattersall/Getty Images) Photo: Charlotte Tattersall
4. Tariq Lamptey - Brighton
Price: £4.5m The Verdict: The full-back was one of Brighton's most dangerous players before picking up an injury last term, and if he can stay fit this season, he could prove to be a real bargain. (Photo by Naomi Baker/Getty Images) Photo: Naomi Baker
