Fantasy Football Tips: 5 Essential Transfers For Gameweek 17

4. Patrice Evra

Team: Man Utd Value: £6.3 million Points In GW16: 6 Patrice Evra is in a fine run of form at present after steering in a beauty with his right foot (a rarity for the left-back) to help Man United see off Stoke in the League Cup midweek. United kept a clean sheet that day (another rarity) and I'm expecting them to keep another against a West Ham side who are in serious danger. The Hammers may also have reached the semi-finals of the Capital One Cup midweek but their domestic form has been atrocious - that win against Spurs was only their first in four games. Sam Allardyce's men have only won twice in the Premier League in their last 10 games and are sitting precariously above the relegation zone by just a point and a place. United might not by hitting the straps either this season, but should have enough in their locker to see out a comfortable afternoon.
