Man Utd suffered what can only be described as one of the worst league results of their recent history, getting hammered 1-6 by Spurs at Old Trafford in a game that saw right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.4m) pick up an FPL score of minus one, due to the amount of goals conceded by the Red Devils. Whilst Leicester defender Timothy Castagne (£5.7m) didn't have a Gameweek 4 anywhere near as bad, he'll still want to forget it in a hurry as the Foxes went down 0-3 at home to West Ham.

United will travel to Newcastle in Gameweek 5 under huge pressure to bounce back, whilst Leicester host an Aston Villa side coming off the back of an incredible 7-2 win against Liverpool. Whilst on paper, the fixture favours Castagne, Villa are in great form and will be confident of at least finding the net against Leicester. When you take into account that Newcastle are typically defence minded under Steve Bruce and a reaction will be demanded of the Man Utd players, Wan-Bissaka could respond with a clean sheet and combined with his FPL price being £0.3m cheaper than Castagne, he may well prove the value pick here.

Verdict: Aaron Wan-Bissaka
