Last but not least, the third article in our series focusing on attacking potential takes a look at the defenders. We’ve already ran the rule over the midfielders and forwards in the past couple of days and now the men at the back come under analysis. Highlighting the top 10 performers in terms of threat in our own ICT Index, we also list the top 20 for goal attempts so far and cast an eye over their underlying stats to ascertain their possible Fantasy value going forward:

    Belgium only team letting me down on accumlator at the moment. All possession but not many chances. Need to get hazard and mirreles on 2nd half.

        I think a couple of people were saying earlier 'can't even get on the scoresheet for Holland, no point having RVP in fantasy football' type comments questioning his ability less than rotation issues. If you're happy enough to have RVP in your team you take any possible rotation issues on the chin.
