Picks: Isak, Haaland, Watkins, Eze

• Alexander Isak (£8.5m): With 67 of his 78 shots last season coming from inside the box, Isak is a constant threat and should lead the line for Newcastle, whether Callum Wilson is fit or not.
• Erling Haaland (£15.0m): Feels necessary given his explosive potential. It's easier to downgrade from Haaland than to find funds to bring him in later.
• Ollie Watkins (£9.0m): Scored 19 goals without penalties last season and added 18 assists, making him a bargain.
• Eberechi Eze (£7.0m): With Crystal Palace potentially building around him, Eze is expected to shine, especially with new midfield addition Adam Wharton providing support.
