The January transfer window has already handed Fantasy Premier League Draft managers some new targets ahead of deadline day.

There will certainly be more moves but with Wednesday's flurry of announcements we have some waiver wire priorities that could really shake up your team.

Here are my thoughts heading into Gameweek 25.

GKP: Hugo Lloris (TOT)

No big acquisitions among goalkeepers, although Lloris is back after three months on the sidelines for Tottenham Hotspur. I was shocked to see Nick Pope of Burnley available in some leagues and either would be a great long-term option.

DEF: Kyle Walker-Peters (SOU)

I was excited about Walker-Peters when Mauricio Pochettino was playing him early in the season at Spurs. Now that he's the presumptive starter at Southampton, I'm back on board.

MID: Steven Bergwijn (TOT)

Spurs' new midfielder has great potential even if he faces strong competition for his place. If his transfer to Manchester United goes through, though, Bruno Fernandes will be the best option of all. He'll get more playing time than Bergwijn and is a highly exciting attacking midfielder.

FWD: Gabriel Martinelli (ARS)

The young Arsenal forward has scored in back-to-back matches against Sheffield United and Chelsea. If he can keep his place now that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has returned from suspension, Martinelli has some great fixtures to take advantage of.

Clearly, there are more moves to be made but they'll likely not be available until the next waiver period so good luck with these priorities heading into the weekend.
