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…
Right, i'm logging off lads as the missus wants some help on Uncharted 3. Can't get a minutes peace I tell ya.
Taking the single malt up with me though. Have a good night.Open Controls
Where do all the Taraabt hype suddenly come from?!

Helguson sold, pens. And is he playing further forward too?
Open Controls
Apart from Friedel who the best GK that is under 5.5m that rotates with Federici

Jaas or Davis to go with Green?
Spend .5 and get Mignolet?Open Controls
Davis.

Sky Sports add for the new season is a thing of serious beauty! 😛
Open ControlsYou see the Tim Howard one?
Open Controls
Federici
Clichy Demel Fabio
Lampard Nolan Toure Sigurdssson Cabaye
Rooney Tevez
Friedel Graham Williams Cuellar
Reckon midfield's too heavy?
Cabaye's value seems decent, will play him most games but feels like an odd selection.Open ControlsI like it, lovely squad.Clichy and Tevez is a bit risky but could pay serious dividends.

Just found this site which offers quite a bit of all round statistical info for those of you who weren't aware of it
http://www.whoscored.com/Open Controls
Yet another team draft, anybody liking this?
Friedel - Federici
Lescott, A.Cole, Hughes - Demel, Fonte
Taarabt, Silva, Kagawa, Larsson - Maloney
Graham, Rooney, Torres
Look ok? comments much appreciated.Open Controls
Looks strong to me. I'd get a Chelsea midfielder to maximise your DGW returns.
Open Controlsthanks man, i could get a chelsea midfielder, but would have to be one of meireles, ramires, essien, mikel or romeu lol, which would you prefer?
Open ControlsThe only one I'd go for is Ramires and that's only if he is expected to play both. I take it you're not prepared to switch SIlva to Mata/Hazard then? What about Lescott to a second Chelsea defender?
Open Controlsyeah i'd only fair with ramires too, but yeah i wanna keep silva really now ive worked him in, yeah good point about lescott though, may do that but i dunno yet, shall have a think about it 🙂
Open Controls
Aha see you have worked some Man City in there!! I do enjoy what Im seeing mate, think it is pretty solid. Dont see any changes as such that I would do man.
Open ControlsYo man! sorry left my comp for a few mins, yeah finally worked some city in haha, must be accommodated for really, cheers though looks strong to me too, think larsson will get off to a good start myself really 🙂
Open ControlsYea larsson is a bit of a cheeky pick tbh. Im not too sure on him myself, but he could come good for you, bit too much of a risk for me ;). Don't see you changing you one that much unless something awful happens with your players. I also enjoy the Kagawa pick!
Open ControlsYeah thats how it feels with larsson, just a cheeky pick, feel it'll pay dividend though, yeah dont wanna tamper with it much now tbh, im liking th e kagawa option too haha, watching him on youtube, he's awesome!
Open Controls
This ol' picking teams is really doing my bap in. Anyone else in the same boat !! I reckon I need to ban myself from fidgeting about with my selection for a week or so. Anyone with me on this....??! =oD
Open ControlsNah i love being addicted and fidgeting with it, like im building my own little weapon...for my very little mind lol
Open Controls
have fun with it ... But realize that it's largely fruitless until the Community Shield.
As to your other question, I'm going Lampard (most likely).Open ControlsReckon he will start both games, mate ?
Open Controls
Pick a Chelsea midfielder for the DGW, regardless of cost.
Thanks Bo)Open ControlsA)
Petric
DDG
Lescott
9.5 mid
B)
Rooney
4.5 keeper
Collo
RamiresOpen ControlsRight, time for a RMT
Friedel, Federici
Terry, Saylor, Cuellar, Boyce, Gunter
Mata, Bale, Kagawa, Noble, Maloney
Torres, Tevez, Graham
2m Rooney fund in bank. Terry becomes Luiz if he is banned.
Thoughts very much appreciated!Open Controls8/10 🙂
Open Controls
Considered Boyce-> Alcaraz ?? Like the midfield, but as always, wary of Tevez, but becoming more and more convinced..... How do the Milan fans feel about the season ahead, Milanista?? Optimistic after the PSG raid???
Open ControlsCheers, I have thought about switching to a 4.5m Wigan but I'm set on having Boycey.
No optimism around Milan. We really should have won the league last season but having sold the league's best 2 players we won't be winning it again anytime soon.Open Controls
Sorry Mil but... assuming your defs rotate then it's goodish but nothing new.
Swap one big mid for one big def and we're all the same again. I don't see any worht in these forts of RMTs for a week or two yet.
No disrespect to you, btw!Open ControlsTrue, I don't think I've seen that many going with 3 big hitters in midfield though? I haven't been around much the past few days so maybe I've missed something.
And give me a break! 😛 I have only just got electricity back in my flat (could go again anytime) and I have no running water. I felt the need to distract myself from those problems with a self indulgent RMT 😀Open ControlsPay your essential services bills on time 😉
Open Controls
I think the having Guner and Federici could backfire (assuming that you will play both for Reading's home fixtures). Siggy will be better placed for set pieces
Open ControlsIt was going to be Fabio (wtih a 6.5m Chelsea defender instead of Terry) but with QPR's fixtures I'm thinking I might start with a Reading defender due to the DGW with a view to transferring them out sometime in the first 4-8 weeks depending on which defences are performing.
Do you think Siggy is a better option than Bale then?Open ControlsI do atm Milanista. Siggy has been very prolific in the pre-season games. Many seem to think he will be rotated with VDV but there is nothing concrete in that thinking.
Open Controls
Not much love for Nelson? Back with his old manager who I assume will welcome the experince he brings. Only 4.0m
Open ControlsHarry Enfield! You've brightened my life with those memories 🙂

2) Vidic Lescott Michu Graham/Petric??Open Controls2
Open Controls
Anyone fancy another RMT?
Jussi | Ruddy
Terry | (Hangeland Fonte) (Rangel, Gunter)
Hazard Siggy Pienaar McClean Noble
Rooney Aguero Graham
With Terry->Baines planned. The tactic is to lap up all the saves from Ruddy and Jussi and tip the cash saved into the more profitable midfield.Open Controlsi like it! i've the same plan re: baines but i've cole in place of jt
Open ControlsIf JT is banned i'm bringing in Ivanovic and banking the 0.5m for the transfer.
Open Controls
been thinking similar to jussi/ruddy, cant decide whether to go jussi/bego though
Open ControlsI did consider Begovic, but he is too much of a risk while Sorenson is still there.
Open Controls
Midfield and attack look good, goalkeepers are pants though you know that. I'm not quite sure about that defence,
Open ControlsI was thinking about changing Rangel Gunter to Cueller Fabio, but i don't think it's as effective. And A 5.0 defender is easy to transfer out later for Coloccini.
Open Controls
New keeper rotation and no Vidic? 😯
Open ControlsI was always looking to beef up the midfield so i think a 9m combo was inevitable for me. I'm still waiting for the members article analysing the cheap combos. It should be soon... And i think Baines offers far more than Vidic. He offers less defensively(although still a lot) and far more offensively making him better value than Vidic. I may be wrong...
Open Controls
Who would you pick out of these 5 Midfielders?
J Cole,Pienaar,Michu,Song,Etherington.
This last spot on my team is too hard to pick.Open Controlspienaar
Open ControlsPienaar or Michu.
Open ControlsCole could shine Optimus under Rogers looked dangerous vs Roma.
Open Controls
michu! not cole,come on. i dont think pienaar is great in fpl terms.
Open ControlsSo Michu opening fixtures then switch to Pienaar?
Open Controlsonly if pienaar is scoring well. im not sure he will. swans opening fixtures are made for michu, we'll soon know if he cuts it!
Open Controls
Don't agree with that FO. He was quite prolific when he went back to Everton on loan at the end of last season
Open Controlsfair enough, i just think he's more suited to the points system in the sky game where he IS in my team!
Open Controls
I don't fancy Everton opening too many away from home.
Everton at the start of seasons always perform poor away from home.Open Controlsarsenal, liverpool and stoke have difficult starts to the season too and michu is untried in the prem and prob not guarenteed a starting position, its out of piennar and mclean, have you considered Larsson
Open Controls
anyone else having most problems picking the mids? i have my GKs DEFs and strikers ,but my mids are constantly changing!
Open ControlsYup... but don't fret. For the umpteenth time today. all your plans will be in ruins in 10 days time, so don't bother planning now 🙂
Really, it's not not worth it.Open Controls
What do u guys think of Stephen Ireland? IS he a good pick for the start of the season considering fixtures and new offensive manager?
Open ControlsNew offensive manager, still full of shit players!
Open ControlsYour man Holman looks a better prospect.
Has a eye for the goal aswell.Open ControlsJust checked, can't answer to people with team names of Sporting Lesbian, Multiple Scorgasms or Leave my Arselona, sorry, you're blacklisted.......
Open ControlsI dunno, Superman could still come good, but it's a wait and see.
Open ControlsStop changing your fecking grav! One garish monstrosity after another, im feeling psychedelic!

After many many days of tinkering would you be so kind to take a peak and advise on necessary changes
