Fantasy football transfer tips including Aguero to breach Blues barricades and deadly Defoe to punish Foxes

The Armenian’s statistics last season were incredible, recording 23 goals and 32 assists in all competitions last term. While starting slow, the former Borussia Dortmund midfielder notched two assists against West Ham United in an EFL Cup quarter-final this week, collecting Man of the Match in a 4-1 triumph.

Speaking after the game, Mourinho said: “I am so happy today because he is against Premier League opposition and Premier League players. We are really happy.”

At the fantasy fee of £8.9m, Mkhitarayan could also be the perfect replacement for the injured Philippe Coutinho.

Deadly Defoe to dominate Foxes

The now 34-year-old forward is as deadly as ever this term, scoring seven in a poor David Moyes Sunderland side. With three in his last four outings, Jermain Defoe is in scorching form and a great mid-price addition to consider heading into a clash with Leicester City.

Claudio Ranieri’s Foxes possess the second worst defensive away record and Defoe will take huge confidence from his previous matches with the East Midlands outfit. Defoe has scored in 50 per cent of his league clashes with Leicester and looks set to test the reigning Premier League champions this weekend.

The former Tottenham star is currently the third highest point grabbing striker, available at just £7.6m.

Bargain buys

We could have picked out any attacking player to tip due to Hull City’s atrocious defensive record, but look at Gaston Ramirez (£5.3m) to wrack up the points against his former side.

Ramirez recorded an assist in Middlesbrough’s last outing, so back the Uruguay international to exploit the worst defensive side in the division.

Alternatively, free scoring Theo Walcott at just £7.9m looks tempting. The winger has six in 12 league games this campaign and five from 10 West Ham encounters – making 5/1 odds on him scoring first look enticing.

Gylfi Sigurdsson will be on a mission to punish his former employers and build upon his fine form. The Iceland star has two goals and an assist in his last two league matches.

Make sure you make your transfers by 11:30 GMT on Friday, December 3!
