Lucas Digne (Everton) – 5.2m

Luke Shaw (Manchester United) – 5.0m

As we have all seen the Red Devils are thriving under Ole Gunner Solskjaer and are finally getting clean sheets to show for it after clean sheets against Newcastle and Tottenham.Shaw is also given license to roam forward by his boss and has potential to provide attacking returns.He has only notched up 49 points this term but more clean sheets are expected with their next two fixtures at home to Brighton and Burnley.He is also at a budget price for a defender at 5.0m.Shaw is now an attractive FPL proposition6
