FPL tips: how will the January transfers shape your squad?

Fantasy Premier League managers will be surveying the changed transfer landscape after clubs made their final moves of January.

Luis Diaz and Bruno Guimaraes were the biggest arrivals of the month, with the latter heading Newcastle’s rebuild under new ownership.

Everton appointed a new manager on deadline day in Frank Lampard and he bolstered his side with a pair of new midfielders, while Tottenham were also busy and former FPL mainstay Christian Eriksen returned – we take a look at the biggest issues arising from an unusually busy window.

The biggest fee reportedly paid in the window was for Liverpool’s new Colombian winger, a £37.5million deal from Porto which could rise to £50m.

He will set you back just £8m in FPL if you fancy him to emulate the swift impact of a previous mid-season attacking arrival at Anfield, Diogo Jota – an FPL must-have now owned by almost 40 per cent of managers.

Newcastle bolstered their midfield with the ex-Lyon man, rated as a strong all-around contributor – but will his game translate to an FPL context?
