FPL Gameweek 20 – head-to-head comparisons: Ben Chilwell vs Luke Shaw
Two left-backs come under a spotlight here, with Ben Chilwell (£6.1m) and Luke Shaw (£4.8m) both keeping clean sheets in one of their two Double Gameweek 19 fixtures. However, with two bonus points to his name it was Man Utd defender Shaw who accumulated the higher score, with 10 FPL points compared to Chilwell's seven points. Chelsea's awful recent form has coincided with Chilwell suffering somewhat of an FPL drought, with his clean sheet vs Fulham the first he has acquired since Gameweek 10. Shaw however, is on somewhat of an upward curve with two clean sheets in his last three starts for Man Utd.
Shaw and Man Utd will look to maintain their place at the top of the Premier League with victory at home to bottom placed Sheffield Utd in Gameweek 20, whilst Chelsea and an under pressure Frank Lampard host a Wolves side in poor form having gone six league games without a win. However, Wolves have managed to find goals despite their recent struggles, netting six goals in their last three matches. This suggests that Chilwell once again could find a clean sheet hard to come by here, putting greater emphasis on his attacking prowess. Shaw meanwhile, is priced at £1.3m cheaper than the Chelsea defender and against a team who have scored just once in their last five away league games has to be considered the better choice in this head-to-head.
Verdict: Luke Shaw
