Fantasy Football Tips: 9 Essential Transfers You Must Make In Gameweek 30

4. Leandro Bacuna

Team: Aston Villa (vs Chelsea, away) Position: Midfielder Value: £4.6m Selected by: 5.1% Total score: 89 Leandro Bacuna notched up 26 points in his last 5 games, which is the best average among his peers within this price bracket, and not to mention, one heck of a bargain. His stats reflect both his pros and cons. In 26 total appearances for Villa, he only made two defensive errors, along with an average of 5 defensive errors per game, signalling his intention of blocking off attacks and hinting at his ability to intercept the ball when it matters. His tally of five goals and ten created chances also confirms his canny ability to cross the ball as well as to shoot it. However, his passing accuracy averages at 71%, which is rather low for a midfielder. His shot accuracy is at 36%, which he needs to put some work in. And finally, he won only 48% of his duels, which can be quite worrying because of his vital position in the current Villa set-up. The Villians will be facing Chelsea, Stoke City and Manchester United in their next three matches. Even on their days, I doubt Villa will be able to overcome the tight man-marking and quick shutting down of space by their opponents. Hence, I believe Bacuna will be a wildcard. I'll recommend getting him if you're transitioning into a 5-men midfield. His pricing shouldn't be an issue when taking into consideration, and the funds saved could possibly get you an upgrade on one of your other players. The Dutch youth international managed to prove himself against the smaller teams, and if he manages to continue his form against the big guns, let's just say the rewards are going to be really handsome.
