Fantasy Football Tips - 5 Essential Transfers For Gameweek 25
5. Luke Shaw
Team: Southampton Value: £4.9 million Points In GW24: 6 Southampton continued their climb up the Premier League table with a routine 3-0 victory over Fulham on Saturday and are entering a run of very win-able games this month. Next up for the Saints is Stoke at home before two away trips to struggling Hull and West Ham United, matches you'd really expect them to be winning - and keeping clean sheets in. Stoke may have shocked Manchester United last weekend but they had previously lost four of their last five games in all competitions, failing to score in three of them. And I don't suspect they'll give Southampton too many troubles at St Mary's, where Luke Shaw and co. should be looking to keep another stop-out. Shaw is one of the more affordable defenders in Fantasy Football at just £4.9 million and is a safe bet if you're looking for a cheap - but accomplished - defender.
