<h2 class="western">FPL Gameweek 17 Best Transfer Tips &#8211; The Premiums</h2>
<p class="western">Rather than big up a new premium pick for the midweek matches, it seems wiser to talk about <strong>which players you don&#8217;t want to be selling</strong> just yet.</p>
<h3></h3>
<h3>Reece James (£6.3m, EVE)</h3>
<p class="western">There&#8217;s been a lot of chatter about Chelsea&#8217;s defence losing its lustre on the back of four matches without a clean sheet, especially among those who&#8217;ve doubled up on Thomas Tuchel&#8217;s back line.</p>
<p class="western">The situation has been particularly hard for the managers – and that&#8217;s 35.5% of all of us – who own <strong>Reece James (£6.3m)</strong> for his run of 1 and three zeroes during that time, even if one of those nil-pointers was because he didn&#8217;t actually play.</p>
<p class="western">But selling a Chelsea defender when Gameweek 17 involves a <strong>visit from Everton</strong> seems premature.</p>
<p class="western">The Toffees are in a real rut at present, with one won since Gameweek 6 and just <strong>four goals scored across their last six matches</strong>.</p>
<p class="western">In that time, only two teams have a worse scoring record and Everton&#8217;s five big chances total is also the league&#8217;s third-worst tally.</p>
<p class="western">Rafa Benitez&#8217;s side haven&#8217;t travelled well recently either, with just one goal scored over their last three road trips.</p>
<p class="western">Now just doesn&#8217;t seem like the time to be selling your Chelsea defenders.</p>

<h3></h3>
<h3>Heung-Min Son  (£10.3m, lei)</h3>
<p class="western">Another, possibly more risky, hold involves Tottenham&#8217;s <strong>Heung-Min Son (£10.3m)</strong>.</p>
<p class="western">It looks likely Spurs&#8217; trip to Leicester will go ahead on Thursday as the club&#8217;s Covid-19 crisis seems to be easing.</p>
<p class="western">The problem is knowing which players have tested positive and which will be available for selection.</p>
<p class="western">Should Son be in the latter group, he could thrive against a Leicester defence that has been porous all season, despite a Sunday clean sheet against a feeble Newcastle.</p>
<p class="western">The Foxes have major issues at the back, with <strong>Jonny Evans (£5.4m)</strong> out for a while with a hamstring problem picked up in the win over the Magpies.</p>
<p class="western">He&#8217;s likely to be replaced by the fit-again <strong>Daniel Amartey (£3.8m)</strong> &#8211; bargain hunters, check out that price!</p>
<p class="western">But only Burnley (249 and 166) have allowed more shots, both overall and in the box, than Leicester&#8217;s 247 and 164, so owning a Spurs attacker could prove fruitful.</p>

<h2 class="western">FPL Gameweek 17 Best Transfer Tips &#8211; The Potentials</h2>
<h3></h3>
<h3>Villa Assets (nor)</h3>
<p class="western">We&#8217;re now fully into the Twilight Zone that is the pre-Christmas fixture jamboree, with one day off between the next two gameweeks.</p>
<p class="western">Rotation will be everywhere, but some fixtures are too good to ignore a little transfer dabbling.</p>
<p class="western">One of those has got to be <strong>Aston Villa&#8217;s trip to Norwich</strong>.</p>
<p class="western">Yes, Dean Smith will want to prove he shouldn&#8217;t have been binned off, but his replacement at Villa Park, Steven Gerrard, has made a solid start and his side should be too good for the Canaries.</p>
<p class="western">Villa&#8217;s two defeats under Gerrard were narrow ones to Man City and Liverpool. The other three matches were victories.</p>
<p class="western">Norwich, meanwhile, have lost their last two and are winless in four.</p>
<p class="western">If you want a dependable pick who could well feature across the entire Christmas schedule, then <strong>John McGinn (£5.8m)</strong> is your man.</p>
<p class="western">Under Gerrard, he leads the team for key passes (seven) and big chances created (two).</p>
<p class="western">And if you strip out defender <strong>Ezri Konsa&#8217;s (£4.9m)</strong> outlier performance (two goals, maximum bonus, 17 points) against Leicester, McGinn is the team&#8217;s top scorer, with 24 points.</p>
<p class="western">But if you fancy a slightly spicier pick, then striker <strong>Ollie Watkins (£7.6m)</strong> is well worth a look.</p>
<p class="western">He&#8217;s scored two goals in those five Gerrard games, he&#8217;s the team leader for big chances (two) and he&#8217;s even just one behind McGinn for key passes (six).</p>
<p class="western">After a bright start under Smith, Norwich seem to be reverting to type.</p>
<p class="western">Over those last two losses, their four goals conceded is the second worst total in the league and their 30 shots allowed the fourth worst.</p>

<h2 class="western">FPL Gameweek 17 Best Transfer Tips &#8211; The Punt</h2>
<h3></h3>
<h3>Conor Coady (£4.5m)</h3>
<p class="western">With rotation such a key factor now, <strong>anyone who&#8217;s nailed-on to start and not a goalkeeper has got to be worth considering</strong>.</p>
<p class="western">So a centre-half who also happens to be his side&#8217;s captain looks a pretty safe bet for a whole heap of Christmas action.</p>
<p class="western">Conor Coady, take a bow.</p>
<p class="western">The Wolves skipper and his fellow defenders have stepped up in recent weeks, with <strong>three clean sheets on the bounce</strong> before back-to-back 1-0 defeats to Liverpool and Man City.</p>
<p class="western">That latter loss was a particularly heroic affair involving a dodgy penalty and <strong>Raul Jimenez (£7.6m)</strong> getting sent off, essentially, for being beyond stupid.</p>
<p class="western"><strong>Wolves travel to Brighton</strong> on Wednesday.</p>
<p class="western">That&#8217;s the Brighton who&#8217;ve scored just three times across their last five fixtures.</p>
<p class="western">Only three teams have managed fewer shots on target than the Seagulls&#8217; 18 during that spell and one of those, Spurs, have played one match fewer.</p>
<p class="western">A Wolves clean sheet is, therefore, a very real possibility and Coady will almost certainly be a part of it should he, as expected, start.</p>
