Fantasy Football Tips: 5 Essential Transfers For Gameweek 12

3. Mesut Ozil

Team: Arsenal Value: £10.6 million Points In GW11: 2 Another player who suffered a set-back in gameweek 11 is Mesut Ozil, who endured something of a quiet afternoon as Arsenal tamely surrendered to Man United in a 1-0 defeat at Old Trafford. Up until that point, the Germany international had impressed, creating five trademark assists and netting twice to apparently justify manager Arsene Wenger's decision to shell out £42.4 million for his services. And, despite suffering disappointment prior to the international break, I expect Ozil and co. to come back all guns blazing against Southampton on Saturday. The Saints have also been in a good run of form, becoming the proverbial surprise package of the Premier League by earning the scalps of Man Utd and Liverpool to fire themselves up into third place in the table. They have the best defensive record in the division, with just five goals conceded, and are unbeaten since August 31, a run of eight league games. But I think their run is going to end against an Arsenal team who will be looking to avenge their defeat to United and reassert their dominance at the top of the Premier League.
