New Chelsea signing Tiemoue Bakayoko heads up a list of new arrivals in Fantasy Premier League, but it could be Everton's latest recruit who has the biggest impact.
Their move for defender Cuca Martina on a free transfer offers managers a fresh £4.5m option in Ronald Koeman's backline.
Reunited with his former manager at Southampton, Martina could be in line for starts at right-back.
With Seamus Coleman (6.5m) sidelined with a long-term injury, Martina will challenge Mason Holgate and Jonjoe Kenny (both £4.5m) for pitch time.
Everton's testing opening fixtures ensure that FPL managers can wait to see if Martina cements his place.
From Gameweek 6 onwards, he could offer real value over an improving schedule.

Bakayoko arrives at a price of £5.0m.
The defensive midfielder produced only two goals and an assist in 32 league outings for Monaco last season.
But he may still draw the attention of FPL managers.
Team-mate N'Golo Kante (£5.0m) is owned by 13.6% of managers, making him the most popular Chelsea midfielder.
West Bromwich Albion's Ahmed Hegazi (£4.5m) is another new name to monitor.
The Egypt international has been signed on loan to compete with Jonny Evans and Gareth McAuley (both £5.0m) at centre-back.
Hegazi is the only member of Tony Pulis' defence to be priced at £4.5m, which could make him an option should he gain regular starts.
At 6ft 5in, he will pose a real threat as a target for West Brom's well-drilled set-pieces.
