The second instalment in our series of Members articles looking at Fantasy consistency sees defenders come under the microscope. Aiming to highlight those players who week-in, week-out offer solid returns, we’ve taken a larger sample size than the previous Goalkeepers article and analysed the top twelve in terms of points per game in 2010/11.

Although there are four Chelsea players here -in addition to two from Man City – the Blues defenders most definitely vary in average returns and consistency. Who’d have thought, after all, that Ashley Cole was the least reliable Fantasy pick of our featured quartet last season?

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      I find it hard sometimes to respond when I see soooooooooooooo many players I would never in a month of Sundays have in my team.

      Sometimes I just can't help myself and let rip. Got to be cruel to be kind in this game 😉

      Bent to Agbonlahor, Zamora to Johnson and then upgrade either O'Hara or Taarabt to Malouda. That way you keep a stake in both Villa and Fulham as originally intended and have an additional useful top team attacking midfielder, all with a little extra to spend on the defence (don't like Agger / Distin / Taylor).

    Last season in gameweeks 5 (12pts), 7 (9pts) and 9 (9pts) (then again randomly in gameweek 20 [6pts]) Ashley Cole was the highest scoring player in my team. He was shipped out fairly shortly after that when the Winter WC became available.

    Therefore 4 out of the first 20 gameweeks (20%) A.Cole was the best captaincy candidate. That's a fairly impressive stat.

            Ok,but how about going with Ivanovic for Chelsea's first 3 games,since I already have Lescott as City cover?As it is,nobody will be playing Sinclair in the first three weeks anyway because of Swansea's tough fixtures.Maybe I can bring him in in week 4?

          It's too expensive and it's not even as if 2 out of these 3 players are nailed on starters.

              I don't mind doubling up on Chelsea. But you can't have Ivan as one of your pair and be completely confident.

              If I'm doubling up (especially on an expensive pairing) I want to make 100% sure I'm actually going to be doubling up.

              Hi Connor's Calling.

              Nailed on = Given, Baines, Kompany, Downing, O Hara, RVP (if fit) and Bent.

                interesting. thanks.

                Inked in for me = Given, Kompany, Silva, RVP, Zamora

                Unsure on whether to go for:
                Bent or Znog (you changed your mind on Znog?)
                Caroll or Downing
                ?
                +will prob also have Malouda until Sturridge comes back and clouds the issue

                you planning to have any UTD cover? Im half inching towards Rooney (given (close) FK's and Pennas) but worried about him playing too deep.

        I have £2mill spare Which means i could upgrade malouda to lampard or drogba to rooney (not sure why so many have ginge). Alternatively i could plan for gw2 and have sessegnon in for surman.

            Too many exp defs?! I only see A.Cole and Kompany as exp. Is that too many?

            Sess in for Surman for the start. Agreed this is a better option.

            How can you prefer Z to AJ but recommend Hughes > Senderos. I agree with you though, Zamora much the better option. Ignore bandwagons until the season gets a rolling.

              Senderos has been starting all games in pre-season. No point spending the extra 0.5 on another defender who does nothing attackwise.

              Yes-Cole and Bad K is one too many exp defenders. Save your cash for players who score more points upfield. Keep Bad K, get Senderos (good fix) and three ubercheaps who rotate nicely. Job done 😉

              Sess (phew 😉 )

              Z/AJ:Sen/Hug comparison isn't relevant.

          Tottenham have a bad schedule, Friedel is not worth it. Just get Given like everyone else or find cheapies that rotate well. Why do you think Park will start? Don't get Sagna, Arsenal won't keep clean sheets. Clichy is a cointoss for starter, get Kompany or Lescott.
