Depending who you ask, Donald Trump’s proposed wall along the United States and Mexico border will cost between $5bn and $33bn.

To repeat: the big man is insisting on at least $5bn of government money to fund his wall, a demand that has been furiously disputed by Democrats and has seen the US government grind to a standstill.

Its an absurd amount of money, isn’t it? Say it out loud: five billion dollars.

Especially when you realise that Manchester United spent just £18.9m on David de Gea, The Great Wall of Spain.

The Red Devils’ No 1 features in our Fantasy Premier League tips for Gameweek 23 following his heroics at Wembley against Tottenham on Sunday. But first up…

Dele Alli, Tottenham Hotspur

It’s been a bad week for Spurs: Harry Kane looks set to miss Gameweek 23 with an ankle injury, while in-form forward Son Heung-Min has flown out to the United Arab Emirates to link up with his compatriots and participate in the Asian Cup.

Their absence could allow for a more prominent role for Dele Alli, who has been limited to just four goals and two assists this season.

Sign Alli for Spurs’ fixtures against Fulham, Watford, Newcastle and Leicester, games which could see him go on a productive run.

Cost: £8.9m Points: 64

Kevin De Bruyne, Man City

Kevin De Bruyne had just 28 minutes to make an impact against Wolves on Monday evening and the Belgian did just that, delivering a delicious pass into the box which wrong-footed Wolves defender Conor Coady could only guide into his own net.

Manchester City’s majestic midfielder has been denied game time since recovering from injury and is reportedly unhappy at Pep Guardiola’s recent team selections, but in Gameweek 23 we expect him to start against managerless Huddersfield and seal his position back in the reigning champions’ starting XI.

De Bruyne stands a good chance of picking up points against the Yorkshire club in Gameweek 23 and Newcastle in Gameweek 24.

Cost: £9.7m Points: 17

Matt Doherty, Wolves

He was part of the 10-man Wolves side who received a thumping from City, but Matt Doherty should fare better in the coming gameweeks.

Wolves face Leicester, West Ham, Everton, Newcastle, Bournemouth, Huddersfield and Cardiff in the next seven gameweeks, and Doherty stands a good chance of picking up defensive and attacking points in each fixture.

Cost: £5.2m Points: 90

Lucas Digne, Everton

Digne scored his third double-digit tally in Gameweek 22 against Bournemouth, laying on an assist for teammate Kurt Zouma and keeping a clean sheet for the fifth time this season.

The Everton full-back is still available for a bargain £5.2m and should be a priority for FPL managers ahead of the Toffees’ fixtures against Southampton, Huddersfield, Wolves and Watford.

Like Doherty, Digne should contribute going forward as well as in defence.

Cost: £5.2m Points: 87

David de Gea, Man United

Holy smokes, David de Gea was on fire against Tottenham.

Until now he has been an overpriced option between the sticks, but following his performance against Spurs it’s hard not to weigh up a move for the Spanish stopper.

Bring him into your squad for Manchester United’s fixtures against Brighton, Burnley, Leicester and Fulham where he stands a good chance of scoring points for clean sheets.

Cost: £5.7m Points: 74
