John Victor, Nottingham Forest<\/a>, keeper, \u00a34m – Everton<\/a> (h)<\/p>\n

The Brazilian has now started three in a row and will be a bargain \u00a34m option if he keeps his spot, although Matz Sels is now back from injury.<\/p>\n

Sean Dyche’s Forest take on his old side Everton<\/a>, who haven’t scored in three games and could be missing their three best attacking players – Iliman Ndiaye, Jack Grealish and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. <\/p>\n

Nikola Milenkovic, Nottingham Forest<\/a>, \u00a35.1m – Everton<\/a> (h)<\/p>\n

Given Everton<\/a>‘s scoring slump, double Forest defence is worth a punt.<\/p>\n

There’s barely anything between Milenkovic and centre-back partner Murillo, with almost identical defensive contribution points (defcon) per 90 mins and \u00a30.1m price difference.<\/p>\n

The Serb takes more shots though and has a better scoring record, with five last season, so he gets the nod.<\/p>\n

Patrick Dorgu, Manchester United<\/a>, \u00a34.1m – Wolves<\/a> (h)<\/p>\n

If you watched United’s win over Newcastle<\/a> on Boxing Day, the player who stood out was Dorgu, playing out of position (OOP) on the right wing.<\/p>\n

FPL managers love an OOP player and at \u00a34.1m too, Dorgu could be a gift.<\/p>\n

Don’t expect him to be a long-term asset, but United are down to the bare bones at the moment and if you have a spare transfer then why not take a punt.<\/p>\n

Given Wolves<\/a>‘ scoring record and the attacking positions Dorgu takes up, a clean sheet and attacking return haul is a distinct possibility.<\/p>\n

Marc Guehi, Crystal Palace<\/a>, \u00a35.2m – Fulham<\/a> (h)<\/p>\n

Guehi has six attacking returns this season and Palace’s defence is always worth backing at home against teams such as Fulham<\/a>, who have lost Alex Iwobi and Samuel Chukwueze to the Africa Cup of Nations.<\/p>\n

Lewis Hall, Newcastle<\/a>, \u00a35.2m – Burnley<\/a> (a)<\/p>\n

Hall has started six of Newcastle<\/a>‘s past seven games and emerged as a key attacking outlet, just as he was last season before getting injured.<\/p>\n

In that time he’s had eight shots, created five changes and two big chances.<\/p>\n

He passed the eye test against Manchester United<\/a> in their last game, taking up loads of threatening positions and he could have scored.<\/p>\n

Burnley<\/a>, on the other hand, have failed to find the net in four of their past five home games, so a clean sheet is a real possibility too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"John Victor, Nottingham Forest, keeper, \u00a34m – Everton (h) The Brazilian has now started three in a row…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":340775,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-340774","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/340774","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=340774"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/340774\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/340775"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=340774"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=340774"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=340774"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
