Having ran the rule over the Goalkeepers, the second part of our series of Member articles focussing on projected value takes a look at the defenders. With the aid of our Projections we’ve analysed the average points expected per player over the course of the upcoming campaign and, applying this to the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) player price list, have listed the top ten in terms of expected value per Fantasy pound for the season ahead…
I have finally cracked my defence situation from earlier

Anyone going with Vertonghen? Decent fixtures and an attacking threat...
Open Controls
All this talk means nothing now. We're just filling time. There is no point in any of this until after the Community Shield, or whatever it's called and we've seen some more concrete line-ups.
Open Controls
Could someone give me some feedback on my team please?
Mignolet Schwarzer
Coloccini Shawcross (McCartney Fonte Tierney)
Mata Silva Sinclair Pienaar (Noble)
Bent Cisse Rooney
Mata to Bale GW2Open Controls
Horrible def. Three budget options and two mains who got awful fixtures. Rest looks good, even though I would have gotten someone else than Sinclair.
P or D Cisse?Open ControlsP Cisse (newcastle)
ive been toying with the idea of two mid priced def (col and shaw) that play all day long and carry some attacking threat.
the other 3 rotate well for the 3rd def postion
can you name 2 other defs that are better for the cash?Open Controls
rmt please chaps

wot u think andyOpen ControlsI think Kagawa is a risk until we see what SAF has in mind. Even then some of the best players take time to adjust to the prem.
ive had pog in a few of my drafts, he showed last year he can finish if he gets a chance and with a dgw and a 5.0 price hes got to be worth a punt.
strong defense - do youre cheap defs rotate incase one of you're main ones doesnt play?
Ive looked into the Torres stats. if you're thinking just for the dgw then yeah he could be worth it. But Golden boot and all hes not been the same player for a long time now and hes more expensive than a few very good strikers.Open Controls
Hangeland or Rangel for the first 6 gameweeks?
A) Hangeland (NOR, mun, whm, WBA, wig, MCI)
or
B) Rangel (qpr, WHM, SUN, avl, EVE, sto)
other defenders: Cole, McCartney, Cuellar, GunterOpen ControlsSaylor if youre thinking more long term
Open Controls
Thoughts on how to improve my team please guys?
DDG Federici
Williams Lescott Tomkins Santon Cuellar
Hazard Kagawa Noble Maloney Pienaar
Aguero Torres Graham
2.0 left in the bankOpen Controls
Anybody got the link to the list of GK rotation options? Currently on Friedel/Federici. How does that look??
Open Controls
My team has taken and odd twist?!
I may need to straighten it back out 😉Open ControlsI've ripped my gks apart to shoe horn Michu or pienaar in.
Open ControlsPie's been in there from the start for me. Probably the only consistent player in my team apart from Dyer, but I won't discuss that 😉
Open Controls
I think we are in Dyer straits ... 😉
Open Controls- Open Controls
Who do we think this year's Raylor, completely unseen surprise package?
Stephen Ireland?
Diaby?Open Controls
Who is his competition for the LB spot? Considering Lichaj atm
Open Controls
Mark Noble. Obviously. 😉
Open ControlsI feel like the Malonoble combo is spreading your forces too thin. Let me put it this way: you have 10 Panzer Divisions and two simultaneous objectives. One is strategically important (4th Mid/Moscow) and the other is more for prestige (5th mid/Stalingrad). Instead of spreading your forces thinly and having 5 divisions for each objective and capturing neither, you put 4 and 1/2 divisons into the Stalingrad, which is important, but not essential to capture. You then throw 6 divisions (after moving half a division from the Romanian Army) and throw everything at Moscow in a thrusted concentration.
Open ControlsFeck me. A WW2 veteran. Just my luck!!! 😉
Open Controls
The worrying thing here is I understand what you are saying.
Open Controls
Lol. I like it. What about Kiev ?
Open ControlsIt depends whether there are any other major strategic positions you can capture for less. The Russians may have made a fatal mistake by leaving Volvograd relatively unprotected
Open Controls
😛 Henderson. 😉
Open Controls
Open Controls
A) Sinclair and pog
B) Taarabt and Graham
C) Something else for 12.0Open ControlsPetric & a.n.other

What a day for us at the Olympics! We have won 2 gold medals in the last hour, amazing 🙂
Open ControlsLoving that Indian boxer 😀
Open Controls
Would you say that Dawson will play in the Tottenham defence this season?
Open Controls
Right think I'm done. I know its pretty generic but I guess its generic for a reason. What do you think?
Friedel Federici
Demel A.Cole Lescott Cuellar Hughes
Maloney Bale Mata Pienaar Taraabt
Graham Aguero TorresOpen ControlsLike this one a lot. Any money in the bank?
Open Controls
Who's the player you must have but have in idea why. Let's see if there is a commonality to the mind games.
I'll start with Jelavic.Open ControlsDidn't anticipate the flood of replys. It's like the old days when you went in a strange pub for a drink. Every one looks at you but no one speaks.
Open ControlsCheers guys.
Matched my previous best replys of 2. Aiming for double figers before kick off.Open Controls
The top TSB MF is Hazard an he's never kicked a ball in the prem..
I know Chelsea have a DGW, but is he realy that good of a player ?Open ControlsEven if he is that good he will still need time to adapt to the pace of the Prem wont he ?
Open ControlsHe could do. Some do Some don't. Personally I think he's riskier than people seem to think. Silva took a season but others come in and adapt immediately.
Open Controls
Which would you prefer?
A) Valencia & Siggy
B) Kagawa & Bale
ThanksOpen Controls
Spanish bloke, plays for Swansea, guaranteed starter, decent goalscorer, worth a punt.
Open Controls- Open Controls
I see a lot of love for Taarabt, Petric, N'Zogbia and Maloney but don't have a clue why.
Open Controls
Taarabt is on free kicks and pens and he's the best player of QPR
Petric great pre season
Nzogbia great player failed last season but with Paul Lambert is highly probable to reach his highest potential
Maloney finished great last season, good player, worth a puntOpen ControlsSee the thinking for the first three by don't understand Maloney myself either.
Open Controls
Any holes in this squad?
Friedel, Federici
Cole, Lescott, Ridgewell, Cuellar, Alcaraz
Bale, Yaya, Sinclair, Hoilett, Maloney
Rooney, Jelavic, PetricOpen ControlsNo Chelsea attack, no Aguero, no Kagawa, crap attack, surprisingly poor defence...?
Of course it'll probably outscore me but..I don't like it.Open ControlsOnly Chelsea attack i'll consider is Mata. Aguero or Rooney for me as I want balance in the squad. Kagawa is unknown. Defence rotates well
I'm trying to weigh up Lescott to Dawson, Friedel and Fed to Howard and Green and upgrade Sinclair to Mata. What you think?Open Controls
One ass hole at least.
Open Controls
A. Michu & Petric
B. Pienaar & GrahamOpen Controls
Diferent take on the Rooney trasfer?
De Gea, Federici.
A.Cole, Hageland, Williams Cuellar, Demel.
Hazard, Bale, Pienaar, Noble, Taarabt
Aguero, Torres, Petric
GW2 take a hit to change Hazard & Torres for Kagawa & RooneyOpen ControlsAnyone going for hart? Seems to be the cheapest/reliable route into the man city defence
Open Controls
I would say Lescott is the cheapest most reliable route into the City defence no?
Open ControlsI just dont trust that
Open Controls
He's just too much IMO
Open ControlsBut I dont want to avoid the Man City defence alltogether, but their a lot of money to fork out for
Open Controlsthis is the problem, Kompany and Hart are the only nailed on starters, but they are expensive. United pose the same problem as it's Vidic or Evra if you want nailed-on
Open ControlsHe will kill the rest of your team. The team I posed before had 0.5 in the bank, the only way I could afford Hart is to swap Michu and Petric for Noble and Graham and that weakens my team IMO
Open ControlsYeah I agree with you. Hope spurs dont buy another keeper, although a straight swap for Vorm or Sczceney is possible
Open Controls
Possibly, but it greatly upsets me
Open ControlsYOU CAN'T DROP KOLAROV 😯
You registered yet Milanista?Open Controls
Was going to tonight but for the second night in a row I have no electricity (or water). Doing it on my phone is a bit of a hassle.
Open Controls
Anyone agree with this? I'm a bit worried Blake will take control of him and the odds will plummet...

people villas ,fulham & west ham starting back 4s please
Open Controls
Fulham should be Reither, Hughes, Hangeland, Riise
Open Controls
Bale or Siggy. Which would you rather have ? If I am to downgrade to Siggy I can do Clichy --> the more (IMO) nailed on Lescott.
Thoughts ?Open ControlsSkrtel ?

Does any one have an idea how many members this site has & how many are logged in on a busy night.
Registerd for the posts only last year but paid up full member this. Looks like very good value, had my monies worth this week alone reading all the articles.
Seems a little qute tonigh.Open ControlsWhat do you think?
A. Ruddy / Jussi
Gorkss / Lescott
Yaya
B. Hart / Henderson
Saylor / Fabio
N'zogbiaOpen ControlsIts good to be back lads and ladies. Apologies as I have been lurking the last week or so, but its heating up now. Would any of you care to take a look at this team and suggest some alternatives to the players i'm unsure on?
Cech Jussi
Cole Lescott Vertonghen Demel Tierney
Bale Lampard Taraabt Noble Maloney
Aguero Tevez Graham
Aguero becomes Rooney GW2
Not sure about Maloney, Taraabt, Tierney?Open Controls
