Fantasy Football Tips - 5 Essential Transfers For Gameweek 25
4. John Terry
Team: Chelsea Value: £6.7 million Points In GW24: 7 John Terry was excellent as Chelsea kept out Manchester City on Monday night and along with Gary Cahill he dealt with virtually everything Manuel Pellegrini's side had to throw at him. The Blues have conceded just 20 Premier League goals this season, meaning they have the leanest defence in the division, and it is a glowing plaudit that they were able to shut out the topflight's most ruthless attack force. Next up is Newcastle at Stamford Bridge and the Magpies are low on confidence at the moment following last weekend's 3-0 battering by derby rivals Sunderland. Yohan Cabaye has also left for Paris Saint Germain while director of football Joe Kinnear has resigned, which, when combined, could make it a good time for Chelsea to play Newcastle. The north East club will be without a host of strikers for this one with Loic Remy suspended and Yoan Gouffran, Papiss Cissé and Sammy Ameobi all injured - you wonder where the goals are going to come from. I can only see Chelsea keeping another clean-sheet here.
