Fantasy Football Tips - 5 Essential Transfers For Gameweek 13
2. Romelu Lukaku
Team: Everton Value: £7.9 million Points In GW12: 13 Considering Chelsea's recent run of indifferent results, it's a wonder they allowed Romelu Lukaku leave on loan for Everton. Their strikers are firing blanks with just four Premier League goals between them while Lukaku further demonstrated his enormous potential by netting twice against Liverpool last weekend. That result put a dent in Liverpool's title challenge but sent Lukaku's stock soaring through the roof with one of European football's most precocious of talents shining brightly. Next up, Everton take on Stoke City at home, who have kept only two clean sheets in their last five league games and will do well to keep out a Toffees side currently bristling with confidence following their result over old enemy Liverpool. Stoke can be dragged back into a relegation scrap if results go against them this weekend and it difficult to envisage them taking anything away from Goodison Park. At £7.9 million, Lukaku represents a bargain, but don't expect that to be the case for too much longer as I anticipate he will put in another top display this weekend to further prove his credentials.
