There's a £1million prize pot on offer and these Premier League kings can lead you to the end of the rainbow this season

THERE'S nothing like listening to a Sky Sports News report of a goal and finding out a player in your team provided the assist – Dream Team fantasy football points in the bag.

Assists count for two points in our game, but more importantly they go a long way to securing 7+ ratings and Star Man awards.

Mesut Ozil (£6.0m)

WHO else to start us off?

Arsenal's midfield maestro finished with 19 assists in the Premier League last season, comfortably more than anyone else.

The German wizard is the only player in history to have topped the assist charts in the Bundesliga, La Liga and the Premier League. Pure class.

Dele Alli (£5.0m)

WE can't wait to see how much the Milton Keynes Kaka's career develops this season.

If he improves even half as much as last season then he'll be something special to watch.

His understanding with Harry Kane is borderline telepathic. Expect the two to combine regularly again once the Premier League is back underway.

THE French genius has seen his stock rise quicker than any other player in Europe over the last 18 months.

From Ligue 1 frustration to Euro 2016 sensation.

His glorious free-kicks are his trademark but don't underestimate his ability to find the killer pass.

Christian Eriksen (£5.0m)

ONLY Ozil provided more assists than Spurs' Danish creator.

Whether it's from dead-balls or open play, Eriksen is more than capable of finding a team-mate in a scoring position.
