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…
Are we expecting McLean to continue his strides this season?
Open Controls
So finally picked this team
Friedel, Green
Lescott, Ferdinand, Cuellar, Demel, Mariappa
Hazard, Siggy, Kagawa, Michu, Maloney
Aguero, Torres, Pog
Am i playing it too safe?? and should i switch Maloney to Noble?? Any other suggestion is more than appreciated..Open Controls
Ferdinand is good for the first few GWs at least he is nailed on
Open Controls
I think Rio is a decent pick for about the first month.
Open Controlswell tbh he is nailed on for the first few weeks... that's the reasoning.. so other that that any other changes you would suggest??
Open Controls
M'ON was raving about him earlier. I am starting with Larrsson for set piece coverage. Might think of McLean if they sign a battering ram of a striker
Open Controls
Helllo guys
Decided to go with
Friedel | Federici
A.Cole| A.Williams|Gunter|Cueller|Cylne
Hazard|Pienaar|Kagawa|Noble|Michu
Aguero|Bent| Torres
Would love some feedbackOpen Controlsthe midfield and strikers are very similar to mine so love it.. 😛
Open ControlsI like but I am in the Tevez camp which if you joined would give you good D upgrades
Open Controls
Pienaar is a slight risk due to Everton usual bad starts and loss of Cahill? but he played well for them in a small spell so if he can be consistent he has potential for a great mid priced mid
I was speaking to a hardcore Man U fan earlier and he was a little unsure how much Kagawa will play but from what I have read he will be nailed on which means no welbeck or hernandez?Open Controlsthanks for the inputs guys appreciate it.
Open Controls
another question for the fellow dead zoners-
Who do you reckon is going to get more minutes on the field-
A) Mata
B) HazardOpen ControlsEqual minutes imo could see the front three of mata hazard and torres with marin and sturridge providing rotation options
Open ControlsMata has to be given some kind of break. He has been at Euros the Olympics. I see him being eased back in while Hazard racks up the minutes early doors
Open Controls
very few seems to be considering kaboul at 5.5 and with great opening set of fixtures to back the cause. i think avb will start kaboul and will be a regular in the team. gallas could be on is way to qpr according to latest reports.
Open Controlstbh not touching him as he is not guaranteed a starting place by any stretch of imigination.. for me Friedel is a better Spurs coverage
Open Controlsin reading's defence who is more likely to start: Chris Gunter, Mariappa Or Gorks?
Open Controls
Think you're forgetting Dawson here
Open ControlsNot nailed on and AVB's high line worries me
Open ControlsAVB had a good record at Porto 13 goals conceded in a season.... he was just in the deep end at Chelsea with not enough time to learn how to swim
agree on kaboul not nailed on yet hence his priceOpen ControlsGood point guys, but in this case i am willing to take a punt on friedel
Open Controls
i have him at the moment
Open Controls

maybe this will help when considering spurs assets.. no need to take it too seriously though as it is only written by me.. 😛Open Controlsthanks 🙂
Open Controls
Agree on Siggy and VDV 100%
Jan Vertonghen is way to expensive to risk on a new guy in a new team in a new country with a new manager IMO
Friedel looked a bit dodgy towards the end of last season. I expect them to sign a goalkeeperOpen ControlsBit disappointed tbh no mention of walker?
VdV is a huge ego how could he not play if he stays and there is no suggestion he is leaving he will play. Remember how last season he was complaining about playing wide right and he wanted to play behind the striker. Now you are suggesting he will be happy on the bench behind siggy?
Siggy will play a deeper role if VdV plays if not he is a good option but Bale is the bestOpen ControlsI don't like Bale until Spurs sign a striker. If it is Ade then I will swap to Bale in a flash
Open ControlsThey need a striker or they can wave champions league hopes good bye
Open Controls
Well assumed that most people will want a pricey defender from either of Man City, Man Utd or Chelsea and hence did not name him. Also this article was written way back when it was looking sure that VDV will move to Hamburg.. now the situation has definitely changed tbh..
Open ControlsHe may go from strength to strength... look at the past winners of the young player of the year award (apart from wilshere who unfortunately got so badly injured) I may not get him in straight away but he has the best attacking and defending potential
Open Controlshow much guaranteed is this vdv's transfer to hamburg?
Open Controls
Sorry Gervinho had a few issues, u still wanna play?
Open ControlsJuan Mata García

@juanmata10
After a few days to switch off, I'll be joining the team next Tuesday. I'm looking forward to start a new&exciting season! @chelseafc #CFC

Open Controls
Team so far
Krul (federici)
Cole Lescott Hughes (mcarntey clyne)
Cabaye silva noble hazard (guthrie)
pog aguero rooney
will have torres for rooney till gw2
is it worth goin hazard to sig and then upgrade somwhere else or just leave it
any other comments on this team appreciatedOpen Controls
Actually made a team
wtf do we do for a 4.5 midfielder? theres NO ONE! ffs
deGea/Fed
Lescott - hang - cole - cuellular - dems
sinc - siggy - lampshade - guthrie - noble
toreres - aguero - pog
That's about it... harte seems like an nice pic since he's a 4.5 defender on all some dead ballsOpen Controls
Larsson or Pienaar ?
Open ControlsSiggy unless Adebayor or similar lampost forward arrives
Open Controls
RMT Lads
DDG
Lescott - Terry - Shawcross
Lamps - Bale - Pienarr - Noble
Tevez - Rooney - Petric
Federici, Demel, Cuellar, Maloney
might swap ddg an federici opening GW.
Thoughts?Open ControlsI like this team very much.
I would re-jig ShawX, Lampard for othersOpen Controls
Sounds like he will be starting the season at RB. Probably only for a few games though till Rafael gets up to speed.
Open Controlswhat he said
Open Controls
Oh yeah... There was Man U to consider huh... 8)
Open ControlsAre we still debating Nani vs Valencia this season?
Open ControlsYep. Nothing has changed really. 3 wingers still competing for 2 spots
Open Controlsdid it get resolved last season? I kept nani for too long then the week I brought in valencia was the one nani had a stormer with two goals but eventually valencia came good.... still have no idea and would rather neither of them that pick one and feel unsure
Open Controls
What the feck am I doing? Night all! 😀

No word of anything other than Liverpool rumours and Rogers is not saying much to the press... for example with aquilani he said yes he is a liverpool player he can offer us options and played him in preseason and then next thing hes off to fiorentina. If he stays would you get him ahead of say Bale or Hazard?
Open Controls
Without a doubt, you have the best username.
Open Controls
how much of a chance does rafael have on nailing a starting birth for united in the opening six fixtures?
Open ControlsHe is preferred but likely to be rested following fergies comments about the back four that will likely start jones vidic ferdinand evra
Open Controls
is vidic to ferdinand
and kompnay to lescott
worth guthrie to a 6.5million mid?Open ControlsI think so as we havent seen how good vidic is after such a long lay off.... lescott has equal goal threat to kompany just that he is not as nailed on
Open Controlsthanks
i should also mention my team has a very weak midfield
team goes
Hart, Henderson
Vidic,Kompany,Hangleand, (Cuellar,Clynne)
Silva,Kagawa,Maloney,Noble, (Guthrie)
Rooney,Graham,Torres
i really dislike both ferdinand and lescott, but love Vidic and Kompany......Open ControlsGo with what you love
Open ControlsHaha,
thanks!
just hope Vidic comes good soon.... as SAF said he would
+ i like the room for improvement in my cheapie mids and Graham upfront
i plan on doing torres -> Adyebayor/ Jelavic/ Saurez/ anyone below him in price not from a manchester clubOpen Controls
Does anybody have any thoughts on Graham Dorrans?
Open Controlsone of the best of the budget forwards. strong opening fixtures, and a proven player in the premier league
Open Controls
Fonte or McCartney will be more nailed-on?? I dont wish to use a transfer on the benchwarmer during the season.
Open Controls
Fonte I believe is more nailed-on
Open Controls
RMT
Al Habsi - Begovic : Rotate pretty well, cheap, and Al Habsi makes saves for fun!
Cashley - Clichy - Hughes - Cuellar - Demel : Great CS potential + attacking potential, last 3 rotate well
Silva - Mata - Kagawa - Maloney - Noble : Assist/Goal potential with PL experience, punt on Kagawa, Noble and Maloney on set pieces
Rooney - Tevez - Petric : Rooney will benefit from Kagawa playing in the hole, Tevez is a very good alternative to Aguero, and a bandwagon on Petric could easily change to the likes of Graham
Thoughts?Open ControlsSolid team
There has been some voicing concerns about Silva end of season form but he was good in the euros and he was getting 5+ points week in week out last season and worth the extra 0.5-1.0
Would prefer a Man U def instead of Cashley - Chelsea no longer cs masters but they have good first 2 gws
Kagawa punt is worth it if he price rises v quick
Tevez will do well but not as good as Aguero however the bonus of the extra funds is worth it.. I read earlier Aguero has a goals per game of around 0.43 and tevez 0.39 so not much in itOpen Controls
really like it. would love to see michu though
Open ControlsNO Spurs
Open Controls
A lot of ppl have Torres. I too have him. However, are people that quick to forget how poor he has been for the last 2 years?
Discuss.Open ControlsHigh risk reward its too tempting to have torres despite how poor he has been..... but havent you noticed everyone wants to get rid of him after the dgw
There are too many players who have done well at liverpool for a few seasons then crashed and burned e.g Heskey, Owen.... he could be an exception though and put the chelsea nightmare behind him for goodOpen ControlsWhen Torres was at Liverpool, he was arguably the best striker in England at some stages. I absolutely love the guy but I just don't feel Chelsea suits his style of play - hope i'm wrong though! He'll either smash 25+ goals or just about score 8..
Open Controlsits worth the punt, plus i doubt anyone is holding him after week 1, his price is going to drop by a boat load.....
ride the price rise on another player 😉Open Controls
silva
Open ControlsSilva is better value and in my eyes a superior player in real life
Open ControlsValue wise they are about equal and although Silva is technically better he cannot change a game on his own unlike Aguero... plus the title winning goal is still fresh in my mind
Open Controls
who is the cheapest option in fulham defence?
Open Controlshughes starts assured?, could use the extra cash.
