Cut-price gems are back in high demand in Gameweek 22 of Fantasy Challenge.
The “Restricted Budget” challenge tasks managers with building a five-a-side squad with a budget of just £25.0m. You can pick one of three formations: 1-1-2, 1-2-1 or 2-1-1.
It’s unlikely that many, if any, of the usual big-hitters will be able to squeeze into this week’s Challenge sides, so Alex Dakers highlights some of the best available budget-friendly buys for the remaining fixtures of the Gameweek.
Remember, you can enter a squad for Fantasy Challenge right up until the final match of the Gameweek kicks off at 20:00 GMT on Monday.

Chelsea v Wolves
Marc Cucurella (£5.2m) ranks third among defenders for goal attempts over the last six matches, scoring one of his two big chances in that time, while Trevoh Chalobah (£4.4m) has netted twice in the same period and could slot straight into Chelsea’s XI after returning from his loan at Palace.
There have been no such recent returns for Enzo Fernandez (£5.0m), who hasn’t scored or assisted since Gameweek 16, but the Argentinian remains a staple in Enzo Maresca’s line-up, providing he shakes off a knock.
As for Wolves, Jorgen Strand Larsen (£5.4m) twice came close to scoring against Newcastle United in midweek, while attack-minded wing-back Rayan Ait-Nouri (£4.8m) has eight attacking returns so far this season.
