Fantasy Football Tips: 5 Essential Transfers For Gameweek 27

2. Kevin Nolan

Team: West Ham Value £6.7 million Points In GW26: 3 With most fantasy managers' budgets being blown on expensive strikers, they often end up buying really cheap defenders who end up not playing or playing sides much stronger offensively resulting in poor clean sheet stats. One potential option for improving your team is through budget midfielders. Prices vary significantly between the players and the following two examples hopefully show that compromising on the budget doesn't always mean compromising on the quality. West Ham captain Kevin Nolan has certainly had his ups and downs this season. Having served a seven game ban for his two red cards in 2013/14, he might not be the best and most consistent midfielder out there; however, he has had an impressive run recently. With four goals in the last three games he deserves some attention. At £6.7 million and a round sum of 100 points so far he is a great value for money. The only downside is that we still don't know if West Ham's clash with Hull in GW29 will take place. In the meanwhile they face Southampton and are hoping to extend their impressive clean sheet run to five games as well as expecting another good performance from Nolan.
