Following on from our assessment of those defenders presenting the strongest potential for goals, we now switch attention to look at those rearguard members contributing successful passes, crosses and creating goalscoring opportunities.

Using Opta data and our own ICT scores, we run the rule of the season standout performers – discuss the dominance of one key figure and examine those players who offer alternatives and possible routes for investment for the season climax.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

        Because those 2 are so far ahead, others just end up in the list of also-rans (relatively speaking).

        If they were vaporised tomorrow, the post mourning debate would be about Ibra, RVP, Xaviesta, Fabregas, Aguero I think.

        I would avoid both Park and Cleverley. Park just won't get enough regular pitch time during the title run-in, I would prefer Giggs if you have to. Cleverley is good in real life but not so in FPL. Don't get hung up on Man Utd attacking coverage if you can't afford Nani/ Young/ Valencia etc....look elsewhere at that price.

          I have the money for Nani, he has just not been very good recently. I need to replace Valencia obviously, not Nani. I was thinking of going for Mata and a cheap Man U midfielder since Chelsea have an attractive next three games despite being terrible.

        Well out of those players I only have Silva and RVP, and I don't feel that confident captaining them this week. People might have said captaining Dempsey against Newcastle was insane but he scored a hattrick and I reaped the rewards, thinking of going for a similar punt this week.

          Yeah, but the only thing you have to worry about the RVP is goals. Arsenal have no defense right now but they can still score. If RVP scores 2 goals in a 6-2 loss to Spurs that's still a good game for him.

          RVP totally monopolizes Arsenal's offensive output and that's exactly the type of player you want, even if the team isn't that good. Remember Charlie Adam was still putting in great fantasy performances last year even as Blackpool crashed down the table.

      Definitely, he looked completely ineffective today, although Sunderland have been excellent defensively lately. I'm even tempted to swap him out for Aguero for a few games. Look at it this way, he's hardly going to bring in another Blackburn return. Maybe that was his peak, either way I think Spurs and Liverpool next up are hardly mouthwatering fixtures
